For how much longer we are going to pretend items like ludens are fair and balanced?

Can we get some nerfs to the elephants in the room?

More namely : item 3285 item 3135 item 3089 item 3165 and for course the (item 3020 + item 3916) combo

Like adcs wish their itemization was half as good as mages, ludens is so absurdly broken right now that its basically equivalent of it for adcs would be an item that is both item 3031 + item 3087 in a single item for 3200 gold lmao.

Fun fact : Even if they put DFG back into the game every mage would still build ludens first over it, its that broken.

Oh here we got the Mages circle jerk guy again Adc already got a better item , item 3087 , you would be trolling if you say Luden's is better while being even more expensive it was known before the ad items nerfs how people complain about Statik like , what's exactly unfair about Ludens? the fact that it does 10% aoe extra dmg ? or the wave clear?

It's build path is good too, Lost Chapter is insanely good for 1300 gold.

For as long as Tencent owns Riot Games and League of Legends. We have no say in this

Originally, I was going to talk about how the items themselves aren't overly strong and that it could just be due to the champions making them seem stronger than they actually are.

Yet, while I was looking up the gold efficiency and build paths, I realized that they are indeed some of the strongest items in the game.

As an example, Luden's boasts a 95-99% gold efficiency rate while Infinity Edge and Statik Shiv only have a 71% and 81% efficiency rate, respectively.

I personally don't think the items are broken beyond all belief because of how hectic the game and champions are right now, but you make a good point and made me realize just how strong the items actually are.
