While damage is by far the biggest issue in League atm, there are at least 2 others
Two issues of which I do believe need to not be swept under the rug.
-
Wither. So let's just talk about this ability real quick. Wither has been considered to be the most overpowered move in the game through all the seasons. A lot of people will flat out tell you that wither should be nerfed due to it's powerful utility, extremely low CD and laughably low mana costs. For those that seriously don't understand why this is considered by many people to be the most OP move in the game, at max rank it slows you by 95% for 5 seconds while reducing your attack speed by 47.5%. Just buying a quicksilver sash would be the best option, meaning you can just burn his wither off you and continue the fight. Problem is, unless you're running ingenious hunter and cosmic insight, your quicksilver sash is on a 90 second CD but when Nasus hits 45% CDR, his 11 second wither, now becomes a 6.05 second wither. So this means that if you don't have quicksilver sash, Nasus can infinitely wither you until you die, or until he dies. -
Having no reliable counter to shields.
and
are the only champions that have any anti-shield kits. And they aren't extremely reliable because Irelia is almost permabanned, leaving only Aatrox. And let's not forget that
will have a 10% buff instead of 8% to shields while
will have a whopping 20%. This all added with Guardian, Aeri, and Revitalize means that shield champions are going to be incredibly strong. However, where the best answer into heals from
would be
and
, there are absolutely no items to help reduce the shields.
