Protobelt is actually a terrible item, and will slowly kill this game.

Protobelt is actually gonna kill this game, unless its taken out, has its price changed or its heavily nerfed. Hear me out:

For 400 gold less than Morellonomicon, you're getting 60 Ability Power, only 10 less than Morellos. 300 Health, the exact same as Morellos and 10% Cooldown Reduction which Morellos doesn't even give anymore.

Whereas Morellonomicon only gives 15 Magic Penetration and Grievous Wounds, which is less than Sorc boots, Protobelt has arguably the best active in the game.

Its active effect makes the motherload of stats that it gives, even better. When you use the Hextech active on Protobelt, you dash forward a short distance and release an arc of seven fireballs. Both the dash and the fireballs deal damage and the damage goes up by 10% for each fireball that hits a single target. If you do the math (or check the wiki) you'll know that you can get 255 + 42.5% of your AP in magic damage.

For the purposes of science, lets just say that you have a solid 700 AP and a Protobelt. 42.5% of 700 is 297.5 (298). 255 + 298 is 553. You can potentially get a solid 553 extra damage in a full combo just by having this item. And that number doesn't account for the other item effects, magic pen and other BS that you might be using in that game. Any bursty, AP melee champ can use this item with insane levels of efficiency and this brings me to my second problem.

Protobelt pretty much defines a certain group of champs, which are the Burst-oriented, AP melee dive champs. When was the last time you saw an Ekko with P.Belt finessed a game from under your nose because you couldn't outdamage him in the long run? Or how about the last time a Fizz suddenly did a solid 200 damage more than you were expecting? The list goes on and on, but the the style of champ remains the same. Ekko, Fizz, Evelynn, Galio, Sylas and even more. They all fit the mold and it might not even be a perfect fit, but protobelt makes it perfect.

This is a plea to riot, please just fix Protobelt and its various users, and if not just remove Protobelt.
