Warriors < The Rest

Yeah so warrior's just doesn't seem worth the buy anymore, it has relatively the same power as the old one with less AD and some armor pen, but less mid game power due to no armor pen at all, and the same shitty late game.

Yet it costs more.....

I mean, the old warrior's always seemed worth the buy cause it was a good easy access to some early game power since it was so cheap and had some mid game potential as well. But now, it takes more commitment to fully upgrade so you don't get the spike soon enough and the build path is far less rewarding as well since it's basically like buying half a brutalizer. I mean I get the brutalizer change, the two new item's are also great additions since they help out other item's build paths. It's just the end result for warrior's now doesn't feel even relatively worth the gold anymore.

Devourer is still slightly cheaper and has a beastly end game, cinderhulk still has decent early/mid game power with proper itemization and a good late game for tanks, and runeglaive is still all around a great item for most AP junglers (RIP fiddle). That just leaves warrior's, with it's poor flat AD for the same cost as the other more expensive jungle items and a not so great build path.

I'm not saying to just flat out buff warrior's, that could push it over the edge which would be especially bad in this new snowbally meta, I'm just saying adjust it. Either nerf the stats and make it a cheap buy, since it's an entirely early game focused item anyway, or reduce the AD and give it back it's armor pen so it has at least SOME staying power and kind of decent in the mid game.

Idk, I could be wrong about a lot of things here, but it still just feels like a wasted commitment for a lackluster item now.
