So what's the point of Eyeball Collection again?

MAX STACKS 20 ⇒ 10 STACKS 2 per champion kill, 1 per champion assist, 1 per ward kill ⇒ 1 per champion takedown (kill or assist) ADAPTIVE FORCE 1 per stack (20 total) ⇒ 2 per stack (20 total) COMPLETION BONUS 10 adaptive force (unchanged)

So eyeball collection is a little faster to stack from assists, but its now competing with Ghost Poro and Zombie Ward. Thing is, Eyeball Collection doesn't give you more AD, isn't guaranteed as its KDA dependant, often won't be faster unless you have a dominant early game, and effectively won't do anything for you that Ghost Poro/Zombie Ward won't.

What reason do people have to not immediately swap in Ghost Poro since they can just use it off CD and have it fully stacked in 10 minutes (assuming you do it off cd, its more realistically like 11-12) wheras you aren't guaranteed 10 kills/assists within that time frame. In fact that's an incredibly explosive game if that happens, even when both players lose botlane or something that's more like 8 kills over 10 minutes. And keep in mind, Ghost Poro grants you vision while giving LITERALLY THE SAME STATS.

Yeah, when the changes first popped up I was confused as well. The three options were all pretty distinct from one another and now they all do the same, but they decided that one just does it better than the others...

It is really strange.

One thing is that they all provide the same stats, but with different methods to get them. But Ghost Poro is way more reliable to get your stats than hoping to get alot of kills/assist or having to clear so many wards.

And on top of that, while the other 2 options just give the same stats, Ghost Poro also provides additional vision by replacing a dying ward with the ghost poro? It is more reliable to stack and gets another benefit which the other 2 are lacking?

This change just made it that instead of everyone picking Eyeball Collection, literally everyone will switch to Ghost Poro instead.

Now that they've changed it, there's really not one.
