Attack Speed

So... there are 17 items that buff attack speed and 2 items that reduce it. I am SICK of champs that don't need ANY damage items that can maul towers and champs alike without more than one damage item while stacking tons of attack speed. It is a stat that does not have enough counterplay. There is one item that reduces crits and 2 items that reduce attack speed... So why max damage when you can just max attack speed?

Towers, at least, should reduce the attack speed of enemy attacks. Armor isnt enough... armor doesn't even matter enough. Attack speed procs: on-hit effects more often. Crits, more often.

Can we PLEASE do something about this attack speed nightmare?
