Is it just me or CDR is everywhere?

I feel like I would rather have CDR taken off some item to make them stronger in their intended purpose. It's very rare that I end a game with less than 20-30% CDR...

item 3083 is clearly intended to be the '' ton of HP '' item, why not take off the CDR and give it more HP?

item 3001 item 3194item 3065 , the Magic Resist tank items, all have CDR. Maybe make Adaptive Helm lose it's CDR to give more HP and/or MR?

Also, every single support item seems to give mana regen and CDR. item 2065 item 3504 item 3092 item 3401 item 3069 item 3174 item 3222 item 3107 item 3050 item 3109 ... Do they really ALL need CDR?

It's also true for AD assassin items item 3156 item 3147 item 3142 item 1400 item 3813

I also feel like some stats on the mage items are misplaced... I'd rather have more AP or armor on item 3157 rather than CDR, and more AP or magic pen on item 3165 instead of health since it's obviously not a defensive item.

Cooldown reduction feels like something you just get as the game progresses instead of a stat that you build wilingly because you need it.

It’s everywhere on tank items, yes.

Which is fine - tanks are as casting reliant as mages are, they should have access to as much CDR as a mage.

cries in Armor items

No, seriously. I play a lot of Sion top, and when I go against full AD teams it can honestly be difficult to get the CDR I need. I often want to rush item 3047 item 3075 , but Thornmail gives no CDR. While item 3110/item 3025 are great, they doesn't give any HP - so Conqueror/Ignite just kill you anyways earlygame. item 3800 is mostly an HP item with just 30 Armor tacked on, and doesn't really have the stats I want late-game.

Plus, I eventually want to go into item 3143 or item 3068, which also don't give any CDR.

So not every buildpath gets free CDR.

In regards to Mage items, I kinda agree and kinda disagree. After building your choice of item 3040item 3285item 3030, you sometimes want to go into item 3089 or item 3135, which unfortunately don't give CDR. So Mages do have some trade-offs to think of.

Don't underestimate the health on the morellonomicon. Health is a big part on mages' items, not so sure we should be quick to change that (mages don't get many resists, as a tradeoff).

I feel like assassin items are justified to an extent since assassin rely on abilities and therefore they need high CDR to do things Yet at the same time an assassin spamming his spells every two seconds can get very annoying, and this is coming from someone who loves assassins I feel they should have enough cool down to kill their target and get out, Maybe not exactly 40% I think they could do well with 30% maybe even 20% I mean they are supposed to be bursty rather than have sustained damage

When they were giving cdr to almost all items the community was telling them to stop and not to do that. It is still fucking stupid and I still consider it an issue of League, but they are never fixing anything, they are just adding more bullshit. The game feels like bearly playable. It is not fun.
