Trinity/Sterak nerf for Camille? Come on :l

My opinion about the Trinity/Sterak interaction nerf (from Camille perspective).

Camille facts:

One of the toughest laning phases in the entire game against the majority of top champions. You are a tower bitch until jungle mouthfeeds you 2-4 kills (will not happen most of the time) or until you lose tower. "But Camille has good roaming!" - Doesn't matter, any toplaner that has kill pressure on you (80% of them) will push you to tower and never ever leave lane before you. Leave lane to roam mid, you will lose at best 20 CS and a lot of XP. EVEN IF YOU GET KILL MID (and statistically, you probably won't), does not pay off. You will have very few good opportunities to roam mid in laning phase as Camille.

In terms of dueling potential lower than average. Not at any point in the game can Camille 1v1 Renekton, Trundle, Jax, Mundo, Illaoy, Fiora, Tryndamere, Aatrox (could go on and on) if they are even in gold and levels. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't know what they are talking about.

Yes, Camille can delete squishy mids and adcs if she avoids/survives/qss's CC after her E. But the time window when Camille is bursty enough to do this, and no one is grouped at least 90% of the time is very small, and when teams DO start grouping at all times, there is no reliable way to escape death (unlike Zed, Akali, Talon, Kha etc. which can all do exactly the same, but not die).

Camille has negative win rates in bronze, silver, gold and plat ELO according to champion.gg

Sterak on Camille top 2nd item (Trinity, Tiamat, Sterak) or 3rd item (Trinity, rHydra, Sterak) is mandatory. There is absolutely no good alternative. I could write 2000 word essay why.

Camilles window to hypercarry is early-midgame to late-midgame (highest carry potential after you build trinity, then slowly declines, then jumps back up when you build Sterak, then declines for the rest of the game).

And now I hear that this hard and unforgiving champ will have massive damage nerf on her main powerspike in the only phase of the game where she has any carry pontential?

I don't know what champ is considered to be OP that Riot think that Trinity and Sterak interaction need to be nerfed, but it can not be Camille.

Riot should buff her scaling to compensate for the item nerf 100%. Otherwise it will be a serious nerf on a champ that already has negative winrates in the hands of 98% of players (bronze, silver, gold, plat).

What the fuck. Nerf Illaoy ult or Kled passive instead of this stupid shit. Whoever fucking complained that Sterak and Trinity interaction OP? Show me that fucking person.

Well, Camille has statistically been needing nerfs for quite a while now, so indirect or not, if this brings her down in power even slightly, it´s a good change, not a bad one.

In exchange for that nerf, you are getting 2 new items, that are on PBE right now. Why are you unhappy?

she's like one of the strongest and most overloaded champ in the game, can't wait for more indirect or direct nerfs tbh

First off, as someone who playes a shit ton of riven and has also played tons of Fiora Camille Jax and, lets be honest, all the bruisers. Camille needed a Nerf. He has no real weakness. She dictates her lane via her shield and mobility. She has sustain and ranged poke which is almost impossible to dodge if she is good.

Her weaknesses of being a little bit weaker in overall power for the first 5 minutes are not enough of a weakness. She either had to have her scaling reduced. (steraks change does this) or he had to have her laning gutted.

Steraks isn't meant for you. Camille. so it will come as no surprise that I don't care she's getting indirectly nerfed
