Prevent Bloodrazor From Being OP on Laners - Limit Smite / Jungle Items to 1 Per Team
Just found this video, where Phy talks about the possibilities of Bloodrazor being picked by Marksmen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPkLw1_hd9Q
It immidiately reminded me of how dumb Smite was on laners back in the day. The Smite Cinderhulk Toplane Meta was really unfun to play against and hilariously overpowered. Then, later, came the Runeglaive Ezreal Meta which was equally shitty. Both times the items they've picked had to be nerfed even though they really weren't all that OP on Junglers.
Now imagine this is going to happen again and literally every marksman player and his grandmother is going to pick challenging smite and combine it with Bloodrazor. Everyone is going to find out that it is bloody OP and botlane in general will be a terrible and boring experience, just to end up with the jungle item getting nerfed again even though the actual junglers who used it might not have been that strong ( well, except for maybe Kindred ).
This brings up the question why smite wasn't limited to 1 per team everytime this had happened. Sure, the counter argument that creating more strategies makes the game more diverse still exists, but everyone being forced to take a jungle item and creating a balance dilemma between junglers and laners again won't really benefit to diversity at all.
So please, just straight out remove Smite for laners once and for all.
with it, because he is alreadya problem child, but with ADC, they could just make it** melee only...** fucking over
, but does she really need more damage?
