Can we choose adaptive damage?
So I've recently been playing a lot of
as I plan to main him in season 8
I mainly play
support running a comet rune page maxing my E and starting
in order maximize my poke in lane
I am trapped in a corner with buying
because the damage from my runes automatically goes into my AD (which makes me lose out on a lot of poke in lane, overall ruining my early game) and I have found that upgrading it to
sets me back when I could get a
and another item and getting a lot tankier a lot earlier.
And In light of these new support changes on the PBE I will be forced to buy a
or else I wont be able to get the damage I want in lane wasting my adaptive damage.
Now this problem doesn't apply to my off meta play style and build but it also applies to other champs for instance
with keleptomancy and
or
starting a
or
starting a
and getting stuck with adaptive AP. In the case of
you are forced to take the AP instead of the AD which he needs as his early game is already pretty weak, and thanks to Rito's Spaghetti Code
is stuck with AD unless he starts
which in some weaker matchups is a weaker option compared to
. This not only applies to the three examples I provided but really any champ with different damage scalings like
to name a few.
A simple fix to this would be to add an option to choose between AD or AP before the game starts in order to not trap players in a corner when choosing a starting item or build path.
