Let's talk meta and balance direction.

And support is often populated by utility supports.
I know there are many who think of this meta as one of the most diverse but while the recent changes are good I personally fear that a lot of this is about to change if riot continues down the path of their recent item changes.
is finally a useful item and has been focused into being a proper tank buster item and
has also received small buffs.
Overall I am happy with these changes as they probably mean the return of bruisers or assassins that try to kill the adc since if they are faced with no threat they can easily build

My only worry is that this is the birth of a meta where you need 2 or 3 adc due to the shred options.
What are your worries? hopes? hopefully we can get a red in here and shed some light on what direction riot wants to go from now on since "increased diversity" is pretty vague.
