Ban Ninja Tabi On Ranged Champions

ADCs only form of survivability should be Guardian Angel and lifesteal. An ADCs survivability should never come from an ability that reduces incoming damage, be it from another ADC or a fighter/bruiser.

I understand this will effect champions like Gnar, Teemo, Kennen who are ranged in top lane, bruisers like Jayce, and Urgot.

Up to the crowd whether they agree or disagree but I am tired of ADCs building strictly defensive items, like walking in with doran's shield, relic shield, and building ninja tabi to increase their overall survivability. No I am not talking about tankiness, I am speaking about survivability. ADCs need to have limitations on their ability to SURVIVE a fight, and with supports providing them with endless amounts of shields, they should not have to build an item that reduces the amount of auto-attack based damage by a percentage at all.

In an ideal world I would rather ninja tabi simply be reworked, but for the time being this is my only idea, and I would actually much rather hear a better solution, since I genuinely believe there is one.

Ninja Tabi's build up to 4-6-8-10-12% Damage reduction vs auto attacks increasing every time they are Auto'd

This makes it still good for tanks since they will get auto attacked a lot mroe but will make it worse for ADC's because they buy it to absorb 1-2 things during a fight and aren't being consta DPS'd

It's a good idea in theory, but I could see it easily backfiring against fighters and bruisers who are autoattack reliant, especially against a tank that will build items like frozen heart and randuins that reduce attack speed. Fighters/bruisers are conventionally made to counter tanks.

ADs don't even build Tabi that much unless they are caster ADs like MF or they are up against full AD teams/no tanks (which in that case is the fault of the other team)

Honestly, I’d be happy if it just had reduced effects on melee auto attacks
