Let's nerf ADCs by giving them true damage on their auto attacks, double crit and even more burst!

Does Riot's balance team want us to actually believe that these are """"""nerfs"""""""?????????????
Increasing 200 gold on every zeal item, while they remain more gold efficient and still have the same stats, is not a fucking nerf. Giving true damage to every adc now is NOT A NERF.
Giving them TOTAL armor penetration is NOT A NERF.
Giving every ADC a fucking Yasuo passive IS DEFINITELY NOT A NERF.
Giving them more BURST, which is the main thing everyone is complaining about, is NOT A DAMN NERF.

Holy crap, does Riot's balance team even read what people are complaining about??

This item is definitely not BURST damage, which is what everyone is complaining about:

Wow, this item is definitely nerfed now, especially with the 20% TRUE DAMAGE and the DOUBLE CRIT CHANCE every ADC now gets, they even increased it's effectiveness!

Oh damn, this item is nerfed to dust, it gives TOTAL ARMOR PENETRATION now instead of the usual and more balanced bonus armor penetration, how will ADCs deal damage now:

Oh wow, this item is nerfed too, they lowered its cost by 200 gold, increased it's effectiveness, gives 1% mana on every auto attack and casting your ult gives you a Zilean W on your abilities, wow, no one will ever buy this DEFINITELY NERFED item now:

Look at all of these items, that got their prices lowered and their stats increased, they definitely """"""""nerfed"""""""""" them: https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Slfa2AVgLP8/WukGYaD-jZI/AAAAAAAA-nA/23scg-Brnc0lKgHxfBF5yp7NUbgB7FX2gCEwYBhgL/s320/guardian.jpg https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-F17reJp4xGw/WukGaJpyPKI/AAAAAAAA-nQ/4kW9sCVM0bUYFI8VwIetBuFVR7rdxIxWQCEwYBhgL/s320/maw.jpg https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nIkDQOd33hI/WukGYAe2A5I/AAAAAAAA-m4/RghGn6Xe6wItQmJQL2urZawjUoL3wpnygCEwYBhgL/s320/bloodthirster.jpg

Riot's balance team doing its best to nerf adcs, bravo, you're all doing a perfectly good job, no wonder matches last less than 20 minutes now when your adc gets 2 items.

Please fix this game instead of jerking off every adc player, holy shit.

Wow, this item is definitely nerfed now, especially with the 20% TRUE DAMAGE and the DOUBLE CRIT CHANCE every ADC now gets, they even lowered it's cost and increased it's effectiveness!

You're literally just lying. item 3031 the cost increased by 300 and they deleted the 50% bonus crit damage passive. item 3143 item 3047 combo is now more effective against this item because it applies pre-true damage.

**Lifesteal does not apply to true damage, so their sustain is nerfed. ** item 3036 removal of giant's slayer passive, so health is more effective against them.

Oh wow, this item is nerfed too, they lowered its cost by 600 gold, increased it's effectiveness, gives 1% mana on every auto attack and casting your ult gives you a Zilean W on your abilities, wow, no one will ever buy this DEFINITELY NERFED item now:

you're lying again. item 3508 costs 3400, they lowered the price by 200 and removed it's crit strike chance.

Look at all of these items, that got their prices lowered and their stats increased, they definitely """"""""nerfed"""""""""" them:

item 3026 5 more ad, 10 more armor, for 400 more gold. That's 375 gold worth in stats for 400 more gold. That's not even 100% efficient. item 3156 +10 AD, +% MR, so an all-around buff, but no cost reduction. item 3072 no stat changes and a gold reduction of 200

You're blatantly lying at worst and "omitting information" at best.

Take your shitty discussion and go somewhere else please.

EDIT: To add, the addition of the double crit chance passive on IE mean more champions will reach 100% crit chance faster and there will be less RNG in the game. That is something that I know people have been waiting for.

Are you illiterate? Do you not understand basic math?

I mean you got to be if you think the pbe changes are anything close to buffs for adcs.

Everything is more expensive now. IE, Zeal items, everything.

Please do not forget that.

That will be a HUGE impact on the power spike of ADCs, as they will not be able to hit their full glory anytime early. The double crit on Infinity Edge is because of this, since they won't be able to buy Zeal items like a BOGO at Target. Furthermore, IE requires TWO 1300g items, which requires you to have 1300g all at once at TWO given times to make, combined with 1100g to complete the item. This is nothing to sneeze at, and will take a considerable amount of effort to build. You all are talking like you'll just get a kill in lane and walk back with an IE and start Armageddon. This is not the case.

gives 1% mana on every auto attack and casting your ult gives you a Zilean W on your abilities

Yeah, very close. Totally not exagerated.

Glad I’ll quit this game

item 3031 Lost it's crit and needs two 1300 gold items to be built, and it takes a while to get that much gold. This means that the ADC can't get damage as fast with it and wil be punished harshly if they're short because their AD amount will be completely stagnant for a few minutes. It's passive also won't be useful at all until the ADC gets some Zeal items, increasing the amount of time it takes for an ADC to spike, item 3036 Lost it's health% damage and gives less AD. item 3508 Doesn't give as much CDR, lost its crit, and needs an ult to be used for one passive to trigger. It also restores less mana from crits. item 3026 THAT GOT ITS PRICE INCREASED, WHICH IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU CLAIMED! ARE YOU EVEN TRYING!? item 3156 Most ADCs pass this up unless necessary. It also says that the shield amount is "up to 350" as opposed to it always being at least 300. It also lasts 2 seconds less. IT'S PRICE IS ALSO UNCHANGED UNLIKE YOU SAID. item 3072 This thing got a price cut, true, but it didn't get any stat changes like you said it did. It was also an unpopular purchase because of other sources of sustain being cheaper, so it needed the buff.

This whole post is a mess.

You dont understand. Its another tricky direct indirect NERF. You see, by making marksmans into even more of insufferable %%%%s RIOT intends to force everyone to focus them even harder. WHich would force them to spend 40% of TF time staring at the gray screen. Which in turn would reduce their total dmg contribution. But in order not to make it drop too hard they gonna be able to deal more dmg while they are alive (with easy 3 item 100% crit chance. less dmg from each crit but more crits overall. which in turn solves problem with those insane crit numbers). And by giving them true dmg they actually nerfing lifesteal cuz it only works on physical dmg. People rly cant recognize true genius of RIOT.
