Buffing the viability of double Zeal items again has severely hurt ADC build diversity.

You only get 6 items in the game, and there are certain items that are mandatory on every ADC.

  1. item 3006/item 3047/item 3111
  2. item 3031/item 3508
  3. item 3086 upgrade
  4. item 3086 upgrade

That only leaves you with about 2 items that will change from game to game, and they are usually bought AFTER those 4 items are finished if the game even lasts that long. This also contributes to the decline of item 3153 since many ADCs with AS steroids will overcap if they try to combine it with two Zeal items.

Well every single time another build pops up we demand that they nerf it lol. Last year we demanded Lethality ADCs get nerfs, BotRK gets nerfed, and buff crit. Oh, and the indirect Ardent nerf

So Riot did exactly that. Lethality items and the mechanic were nerfed, BotRK was nerfed into B tier at best, and crit was buffed. The Zeal item changes aren't what pushed BotRK out. It was the direct nerfs lol

Now we complain about crit lel. We complained about Lethality items giving to big of a powerspike with one item. Now we complain about a three item powerspike

The circle must continue.

My question is if they really had to buff crit items on top of nerfing Lethality.
