Why is Attack Speed Hardcapped?

I don't think any champions would be OP if they could have more than 2.5 AS, all the limit seems to do is make it so you can't have ~3.6 AS item 3085 item 3085 item 3085 item 3085 item 3085 item 3085 Soraka

There's no reason this kind of useless but entertaining build should be impossible.

Mostly because incredibly high attack speeds make the animation look completely poor. If you've ever played those "custom hero" map types from Warcraft III, you'll know what I mean. They look like they're having seizures.

So Jinx doesn't have 5.7 attack speed with item 3085

Riot stated that there is an attack speed because If they didn't, the attack animations of the champions would look extremely clunky.

add a botrk there and tit might be viable also a wits end or anything on hit

It would likely be most OP on champs who have built in on hit damage such as Irelia, Yi, Vayne, and Fizz.

What I would want to see if there was no attack speed cap:

item 3009 item 3085 item 3085 item 3085 item 3085 item 3085 Kalista VS Hecarim item 3284 item 3069 item 3172 item 3172 item 3172 item 3172

Could she kite him without taking damage?

Zombie Brand with no attack speed cap would basically be the best thing ever.

Probably graphics limitations. The models would be moving so fast it may crash lower end graphic's cards.
