Can we talk about this? Lethality
Lethality has been around for a decent amount of time. But now it's just gone ridiculous. Not only have they been nerfed and then buffed but it also found a new way to be used. ("Nuclear" build). First some ADC's like
and
and some of the assassins and then only used by the assassins, to three items looking like your next $100 bills found on the ground.
Not only can they get you a bunch of kills. Some of them are cheaper or more expensive.
ESPECIALLY THIS ITEM
REALLY GUYS? From an item that builds out of
and
to a remainder of 850 gold. To an item that builds out of
and
and a remainder of 700 gold.
So it no longer grants out of combat movement speed and some true damage along with an extra 10 ad but added 3 lethality.
BUT IT GRANTS AND 90 + 15 PER LEVEL ( 55-360 at levels 1-18) PHYSICAL DAMAGE AND A 99% SLOW FOR 0.25 SECONDS?
FROM ASSASSINS TURNING YOUR SCREEN TO PEACEFUL ALL THE WAY TO THE EIGHTTEEN HUNDREDS
TO A BUNCH OF STRANGERS GIVING YOU A JUMPSCARE AND SHORT TERM PARALYSIS WHILE SAYING "WHAT".
Thanks you for reading "Can we talk about this? Lethality"
so many times such as the most recent dropping 1% armor shred per stack bringing it down from 30% to 24%, it still acts as too much of a cookie cutter AD item that 'certain' ADCs in general love to make use of, specifically
.
(The fucker is a fighter with ranger/melee, his ultimate right off the bat and has ridiculous all in, the arse hat should be forced to be extremely unviable with his silly EZ mode lethality builds) and
(she's a bit more of a proper argument since her play style is about the roam, not EZ damaging opponents and so on) plus so many other champions who are not actual 'assassins' yet pick up those armor pen items and can screw around as such.
's Q all over again, except with a more perpetual damage bonus. Atleast Vayne's was just a 30%~50% bonus AD, Draven's add's base and bonus AD that scales up to 105% bonus and +50 base, Obviously Vayne was OP for a good while too but Draven represents a snowball abuse champion alot easier since he can rush his builds faster with gold bonuses on champion kills and just outscale so ridiculous on item stats that he ends up being rather impossible to 1vs1 and even 2vs1 Draven.
