Stormrazor is ruining the game single handedly

When caitlyn becomes unapproachable period because of her first completed item, we have a problem. It removes the ability to retaliate when an adc attacks you.

The 75% slow is practically a root, especially when most ADCs (especially cait) have practically no auto attack animation causing instantaneous movement after an auto attack with no fear of clipping.

I have seen caits duel 3 champs easily 100% exclusively because of this item. Prior to this, a 3v1 was automatic death. Now she 3 shots anyone while rooting their ass with a quick ass recharge on the cheese.

ADC's are scaling up too early, which is why bot lane snowballs too badly. A single hard engage usually ends in death right from full health because a lv1-2 ADC can still remove 50% of someone's HP in one rotation.

Then you have Riot not addressing mage supports with ignite pressure in bot lane on top of nautilus and pyke, and this is what you get.

I get autofilled support, grab my usual AD shaco (AP shaco is the meta support build, but I hate AP shaco). The enemy Morgana gets ambushed by a single box and I can just Q backstab into her with ignite and if my ADC follows up it's usually a kill from full HP.

There's too much damage, and the problem with that is that with champions who are supposed to ramp up in exchange for their massive scaling with crit and attack speed for undodgeable right click ranged damage, now we have many ADC's who are strong from the getgo.

I just had a game where the fed enemy Katarina with 7 kills died to our 4/9 Aphelios in lane simply because by then Aphelios had 2 items. That should never happen, ADC's should never be able to 1v1 anything but supports. They are team fight monsters, we can't have ranged team fight assets able to 1v1 champions meant to counter them individually.

That one item is making me hate marksmen even more this season

(I like playing the "stupid" champs that don't have 17 dashes so the insane slow really screws you over)

when it comes to caitlyn she has always been cancer, but you could at least say "Well at least she has a bad mid game" And that genuinely did matter. Storm razer is the perfect item for her that fixes nearly all her weakneses

When I made post about stormrazor everyone downvoted me, but suddenly they saw that jhin running you down at 13th min isn't really healthy for the game.

We wanted Ezreal not to abuse Iceborn Gauntlet passive, so riot made an item that every adc had Iceborn on steroids, less procks, but one is deadly.

To be fair, it's CC in general. Way too many stuff can impair your movement. Then you just add Stormrazor's slow to that mix and you have complete chaos. And 51% tenacity cap does not help, at all. I mean, if you spend 7s under CC that just means it would have been 14? So, yeah. You're completely right, but it wouldn't be such an issue if you had ways to counter CC harder. It became almost impossible to stick to people. Chain CC is super easy. I remember when you had to take Alistar and Amumu in the same team if you wanted chain CC. Nowadays even ADCs stun and slow people.

You get good amounts of AD, AS, and Crit chance, while getting a powerful utility passive. Very likely needs a nerf.

you guys gotta make up your minds regarding what is broken in this game. on one hand everyone and their grand ma is saying assassins are busted, and then in the same breath the most immobile adc's are busted.

like come the fuck on guys, you don't get to have it both ways.

They made the strongest class WAY stronger by giving them a free kite item and a powerful one at that. The ADC class should not have early game options period.
