Riot are actually nerfing Cinderhulk while not nerfing a SINGLE ADC item

In the PBC notes the only 2 items nerfed / changed are Cinderhulk and Knights Vow (small nerf but none-the-less). Not a single ADC item nerfed despite entire forum loaded with posts about how ADCs are broken as well as proof (there is this guy who showed ADC WITHOUT A SINGLE ABILITY LEVELLED (just full build) deals as much in 5 autos as full APC combo and ult with full build).

Knights vow only problem is that we have to build this shit and hope our ADC performs better than enemy one. Nothing else matter, only who has the better ADC with more protection.

Isn't this the third time cinderhulk is being nerfed since it's addition? And some people claim riot doesn't hate tanks nor favor marksmen.

Not like that guy used item 3036 against a 10k hp target or anything like that right?

I'm starting to believe that it's not ADC damage that is overtuned but the amount of protection they have. Babysit supports like Janna and Soraka can keep an ADC alive for a far too long time at the moment (exhaust, knights' vow, shields, heals, ardent censer) and on top of that ADCs also have stuff like phantom dancer and death's dance that can outright deny or delay a significant percentage of incoming damage or bloodthirster that grants a significant shield on top of being able to lifesteal yourself back up to full health in a few hits.

ADC's have always been able to deal obscene amounts of damage lategame, the problem is that it's never been as hard as it is now to get rid of them or punish their mistakes.

Waiting until after worlds to make major changes. They don't want to enter major changes that may completely disrupt the Pro scene before worlds.

Riot bias in favor of ADCs is reaching insulting levels. [slayer-jinx-unamused]

The thought ever occur to you that support items and front-line protection might be the reason why ADC's are so strong right now?

Knight's vow is overloaded, but ardent is far far more overloaded. I think they both need to have their costs increased by 400g.

Knight's vow is not actually being nerfed btw 30 is still 12% of 250. If your partner deals 250 damage you are still healing for 12% of it.
