Lethality melee only, problem solved

I love how board makes it sound like the problem of lethality is being used by ranged champions

You'd still have Riven, Panth and J4 running around 100-0 people real quick.

Also would effectively eliminate any potential of a ranged assassin from being released.

A simple solution to me would be to simply nerf the base stats on all of the Lethality items, but build lethality bonuses into the kit of the champions who are meant to utilize it.

This way it is still accessible to non-assassins, and they may be played "AS" assassins to some degree. (Preventing Riot from being further accused of enforcing a meta)

On top of this, the champions who are meant to utilize Lethality can be further adjusted by tuning the numbers in their kit, without adjusting the stats granted from the items themselves, which throws everyone else off.

For example, could have it's Lethality reduced to +10, from +15, and a champion like could gain a bonus of +50% lethality from his kit.
