Randuin's Omen Slow Removal
Was there ever actually a red post discussing why the slow was removed from Randuins?

As someone that mains immobile bruisers, I'll never understand why Riot changed Randuin's this way. There is literally no other way an immobile melee can catch most ranged champions without it, especially if they have Botrk and/or Zhonya's. Immobile bruisers were already having trouble before they made this change.
They might as well just give Randuin's back its CDR and health regen if they're not interested in returning the MS slow passive.
look in the patch notes for the patch the slow was removed. You can look up which patch it was pretty easily. I remember the explanation being that the slow plus the as slow plus the armor and health made it pretty much a one item adc counter. you couldnt kite someone with a randuins.
Because ADCs should not have to build an item with less than 1/6 of Randuin's cost, and did not take up an item slot to counter the MS slow on Randuin's. Nor should they build Phage either. ADCs should build the standard IE, LW, BT/BotRK, BG, PD/SS, and whatever they want which is not a defensive item.
