Where did the Ardent Censer OP train come from?

As far as im aware its last change was 7.2. Sure you could argue that Redemption just hid its strength, but i would counterargue that if that was the case are you telling me no (non-support) player thought it was good at all for 13 patches when it is now SO OP but no one noticed... for 13 PATCHES?

adcs were still very weak. it wasnt until crit got buffed, certain adcs got buffs and redem got nerfed that ppl started caring about ardent. Basically ardent is op only because adcs are ridiculously overtuned atm. Its not the items fault

let's not be silly, ADC's have NEVER been very weak, hence they have been seen every game since the beginning of season 1

Actually, botlane used to be a duo bruiser lane until mid season 2 i believe, where the now familiar ad-bot took dominance

back then ADC's were also still used in mid, it took some time before AP took over mid if I remember correctly.

it's possible you're right as my memory isn't that great however that would still mean that since season 2 ADC's have been mandatory all this time, that's a long time

Pros. Supports were rushing it in pro play before sightstone, and in a few cases ADC's were starting relic shield to give more gold to the support for the item

Because supports dont like to talk about how they have a great item. Upon speaking of such things get your shit shanked.

The item that makes your ADC go from average to beast.

It took baddies a while to realize how OP Ardent Censer has been.

Got nothing but straight up buffs because it's not OP enough, and now we all wonder why it's busted.

With the ardent nerfs, might be wise to buy it early and then sell it off for a better item late game, since it basically has 0 scaling now.
