Why the nerf to Sunfire Cape?

I’m so confused.

Why nerf the damage to this item? Wasn’t this item changed to be a stupid ? They lowered the damage it does to champion and lowered the range of the passive that of basically have to huge some one

Now they lowered the damage by nearly 50% it does to minion for an awesome 5extra bass dmg...

Why? It’s not like this was a go to item for anyone

No The old Sunfire had a larger range and much higher damage.

They essentially hate it 5 extra damage to champions and lowered the the damage to minions by nearly 50%.

They should have just added the range back to the passive. You can’t trade with this item when you pratically get kites or have to hug enemies to have that pitiful damage

It's not a nerf, it's a revert. Awhile ago Riot changed Sunfire from an anti-champion item to anti-minion. They're mostly reverting it to a middle ground against both Champions and Minions. Don't think its a nerf because it does less vs minions, you dont buy it for that anyways.

Honestly it’s the worst kind of revert. I’d rather have the old range than the damage.

It's a HUGE buff.

On live , sunfire deals 11(+level) damage/ sec to champions On PBE, sunfire deals 25(+level) damage/ sec to champions. Granted it deals less to minions but it's still a huge buff.

PS : I don't see any range changes, where do you see that?
