If you think Iceborn is over-performing only on Ezreal, then your grasp of the situation is very limited. It was called by the LCK casters, not me.

Nobody with only an IBG should be able to output the damage it's currently doing on ANY champion. No. The item needs a raw nerf, and it is coming.

ehh. I don't understand the fraustration with the ibg blue build. okay you can't really run from him with it. and he slows you. but you can''t run from multiple champions in this game. vayne for example. with her passive. i like the blue build personally and dont mind going against it. he does a lot less damage than pretty much any adc in a team fight. over the match he does the most but because of all the free poke (might be the reason people hate it). but he can do that with any build. he can still build frozen mallet and do the same thing

The reason it is being nerfed is that it is too good with Sunfire cap.

But this will not kill the combo and it will likely result in the item getting nerfed again.

whats the nerf?

base AD ratio on IBG is droping from 125% to 100%

IT is a bit of damage nerf but the combo will still be effective in making champs unable to leave meaning sunfire can keep the damage coming.

It needs a weaker slow in some way. Since it applies to the ground it is always a 2 second slow on a 1.5 second cooldown. Even making it an AoE burst for the slow instead of staying on the ground for 2 seconds since ethat would enable Tenacity to weaken the duration of the slow.
