What was the actual thinking behind this? Did you just want to fuck over laners that want to push out a wave and roam until they get 3600G. There was nothing OP about Tiamat (except when you could crash games... but that's different).
It feels incredibly underwhelming to buy the super cheap Tiamat. It is just trash tier.

Ergono2 votesThat was the point. It was too powerful for early game champs. They shouldn't be able to all in and push the lane hard.
UberAffe1 votesThe they changed it because of its two build paths.
It would be odd for new players to build one item and have their autos do circular splash damage then upgrade and have to do conical splash damage. I think a better solution would have been to get rid of the active portion of it and instead let it toggle between the two styles. But I can at least understand why they made the change.
