Please remove Ninja Tabis from the game.

As an ad toplane main I really feel tabis are unbalanced and should be removed.

I play Jayce, Renekton, Gp, Tryndamere, Sion I find so many of my opponents have tabis before even completing an item and depending upon matchup this means I need to buy them too or auto lose even though I may want to buy cdr boots or mercs/swiftys.

I feel this has been the case for quite some time now and would be really happy if they were removed, I feel it would be quite healthy for the game.

Maybe keep them but change the 10% aa damage reduction to something else maybe a phage like ms proc after an aa that is higher for melee champs

Would like to hear other people thoughts I'm sure there are a lot of apes out there who love their tabi rush more than anything else but I feel its so unbalanced when an ad champ can abuse another ad champ because one bought tabis and damage items and is effectively a tank and the other mercs and damage items because the enemy team have sej/morg

See, I thought about contributing then I read your comment about how anyone who does this is basically an "ape". This makes me feel that any argument that disagrees won't even be considered.

I like how you took exactly what you wanted from this, I said I bet there are a lot of apes not everyone who does this is an ape. I just find it hard to swallow when the enemy toplane darius builds tabis when we have sej, veigar, leo or whatever just to abuse the opposing ad toplaner despite it being a bad choice. Mercs are not as unbalanced.

People take emotion too far with this game.

Except there is nothing wrong with that sort of strategy. Early resistances from Tabi or Merc Treads can help lane, yes. I just finished a game as Yorrick vs a Brand top. First thing I bought was Merc Treads. Yesterday I played against a Renekton, first item was Tabi because otherwise, I probably would have been bullied out of lane more by either of them.

Now, as far as changing what they do. I would say no. Each boot has a theme it fits to: Treads MR and tenacity, Tabi armour and aa reduction, Ionian w/e they are called give cd and summoner spell cd, Sorc gives pen, Mobis ooc speed, Swift lesser slow.

The way you want to change the effect would make more sense for Swifties.

Instead of changing the effect or saying remove, why not just alter? 10% is easy math but how would you feel about like 7%? More fair?

The problem I have with them is champions unlike Yorick that build 0 tank Items shouldn't have an item that is so strong in terms of damage reduction like Jayce, Riven, Fiora etc I feel they are completely unbalanced not just a little unbalanced maybe halving the reduction would be enough but I actually doubt it.

You could make the argument that would hurt tanks but I feel the tabi passive should be on an actual new tank item or maybe change the passive on randuins to be 15 - 20% aa reduction instead of the crit reduction

I mean the 10% aa reduction could be put on a heavy expensive tank item but on boots that already give 30 armor its just too much imo
