So CDR was made a universal stat as per Rito's wishes

Why not just remove CDR and rework champ cooldowns? Instead we have champions accessing CDR like madmen way too fast, and for some champs the super early CDR stacking is oppressive while on other champions the early cdr is forgettable.

What I want to know is why was CDR selected to be a universal stat? What makes CDR as a stat so special that only it can be universal and not health or AD or something? Ideally, you should have to consciously itemize cdr and give things up for better spammability. Maybe that's just me.

IMO the big three abusers

loads of CDR has made these three near universal for their respective damage classes.

Because gaining power through gold is a thing in this game.

You missed the point of this thread. Every other stat you have to consciously decide to get it and give something up, that just isn't the same with cdr. You can usually find an easy 30% with all the items you want anyways, and many times 40%.

The only time I EVER get stuck at 30% is when I play ARAM and I want to go the absolute most AP build I could possibly go on a mage item 3040 item 3135 item 3027 item 3089 item 3165 item 3158

So what? It's a stat that all champion archetypes need (except pure AA Marksmen) so they can all get it with gold.

CDR is pretty damn dumb tbh

I miss when champs were actually gated by long cooldowns for more than the first 15 minutes of the game
