Conqueror nerf for Mages are in the wrong direction

Actually those ranged champions who are abusing Conqueror are all mages, as far as I'm concerned. As I see, it is abused more by mages than adcs because ranged abilities still gain 2 stacks. The nerf will make Conqueror not viable to adcs, who don't abuse it. So I feel that the correct nerf direction is making ranged champion skills only stack 1 too.

Or, actually, Riot is just having the concept that Conqueror is inherenetly a melee-only keystone?

I feel both nerfs are correct.

Conq shouldn’t be lasting 8s to begin with and mages shouldn’t be generating stacks faster than a melee champ.

I'd rather if mages were nerfed to the point where they had to hit you many times to hurt you. Their full combo should be enough to lower your HP by half. and then your other 4 team mates fight and in a big team fight it is not just a mage blowing up everyone with just their Q

As far as I know, only ADC's who use Conqueror are Draven, Twitch and Ezreal.

I do agree with you though, Ranged basic attacks only apply 1 stack so why do abilities need to apply 2 when it's less risky for a ranged to land an ability than a melee?
