BORK Nerf?

MustacheSquid··7 votes·1,898 views

It's come to my attention that BORK has been a crucial item in leading the AD Carry Meta. With the buffs it's received, (P 7.5) the Blade Of The Ruined King puts an edge on a lot of ADC's I'm seeing a lot more than I usually do. Not only this, but some ADC's are nearly worthless at the money because of it. Champions like Draven, Jhin, and Corki have gone down the drain at the hands of RIOT. What say you?

But this is how meta works. The top tier champions are changing. Jhin and corki will come back into meta. And i think the current meta is quite good. Blade gives a lot of good stats and allows adcs to have a one item powerspike. This buff to the early game fixed the previous "adc in 2k17-probleme"

Bork has become core on almost every champion who uses auto attacks, leaving you behind others if you don't build it.

There is no meta when for the past two season it has been go bork and rageblade or nothing... Meta means change and right now I dont see any changes being made only reverts to past crit build champs. Riot is trash at meta change and thats why its competitive play is a joke.

My original comment was made 2+ years ago, and I don't know what was meta back then, but right now bork is indeed pretty annoying

It isn't OP, but would love to see it become a MELEE ONLY item. It is such an amazing early buy for ADCs it feels OP, but overall it isn't actually. The fact that an ADC can out-sustain a Warwick on first item...

They actively made changes about this item to promote marksmen buying it. It is clearly intended to be bought by them and even as a core item for some of them.

So, it won't happen that it becomes melee only. And I agree with that.

Well, that is obvious, but I still maintain that it should be melee only. Hell, it is a sword...

The argument that it is a sword doesn't really hold. If you look at it that way.... marksmen would be able to just buy these items: item 3146 item 3036 item 3033 item 3094 item 3085 That's it.... the complete item pool for ranged ad champions.... Gunblade being the only one which should be melee and ranged because it is a gunblade.

As long as Riot isn't creating a huge bunch of new ranged only items, I doubt they are really going to make the split between ranged and melee.

Each auto shreds 8% of your max hp per auto... THAT IS 2X THE AMOUNT OF A LEVEL 1 SHEN Q FOR EVERY FREE AUTO!!!!! DO THE MATH YOU HAVE 100/8 it would take 13 autos without the added base dmg or even crit dmg to kill anyone... fucking idiots man

Check the thread creation time, bonker.

Riot already said they're looking at nerfs for it in the near future.

You spelled toplane meta wrong. Because games are decided by which op top laner didn’t get banned and which one got fed out their ass.
