if edge of night was melee only, do you think it would have even been that broken?

im constantly trying to think of the champs that using it the most being Riven, talon, and zed, but i dont actually think it would have been that broken.

it was popped so easily but when champs like jhin and varus had it in the backline it was considered unhealthy.

who is to blame for that? melee champs or ranged champs?

every single time riot releases an item to help melees survive longer in this 100-0 shit of a game, ranged champs abuse the living fuck out of it causing it to be nerfed leaving melees in the shitter once more.

fucking QUINN.

she should never have been able to purchase that.

just clicking on edge of night when you're playing quinn should have dced u out of the game.

who the fuck thought u could make tht item ranged/melee and it would go well?

It's absurdity was definitely more evident on ranged champions but I think the 30 second CD and low cd channel time would've been busted on anyone.

yeah it would have kha rengo, shaco talon and zed having a banshee's vale that gave ad, mr, and lethality would have deserved nerfing no matter what

Yes.

Riot just needs to change how the stats work, rather than who can buy the items. Lethality should only apply to physical damage spells. If not the concept of an AD caster be uprooted completely from the game.

Riot apparently.

so, wondering why some of the lethality items should be melee only isnt a stupid idea?

Yes, but I think it wouldn't have been as obvious, because the melee champs that were abusing it, weren't popular for the most part. IT was when adcs started spamming it that it was like "oh heeeeeeeeey" and everyone that could use it just built it every game.

I think if it was melee only it would be seen a lot less, and would have picked up a lot slower, and instead of just "this is OP cause everyone is using it" it could have been balanced better around the melee assassins and the point of it, instead of having to be balanced around "can/should adcs abuse it" because then it starts pushing into...well if they nerf if for ranged, does it now become worse/bad for the melee champs that it was intended for?

It would definitely still be broken yes, however you wouldn't see the item pushing champions out of the game if it was melee only or had harsher use requirements for ranged users.

The one thing these items did 100% was fully push AP junglers out of the jungle because now it takes more effort to run them and your primary targets to kill who are adc can simply outburst the ap jungler even if that is eve, diana, or amummu, and yes i get it amummu is not a burst champion he does however need to survive fights for a certain period of time or get crushed all game long and the lethality items deny amummu this window of power.
