And please do so calmly and specifically. If you want to vent about it, go somewhere else, I just want somebody to explain it to me plainly.
EDIT: Sorry for being vague, I meant the reworked version.
Warlord Scrap3 votesRiot thinks current liandrys has an identity crisis. The flat pen leads to dealing more damage to squishies but the passive makes it a tank killer. They want liandries to be the tank killer and new morellos to be the go to squishy killer

LostFr0st1 votesCurrent Liandry's or reworked Liandry's?
ModThe Djinn1 votesCurrent Liandry's gives what appear to be great squishy-busting stats (Magic Penetration), but is otherwise designed for sustained combat (DoT, health, etc). As such, it's a weirdly positioned item that can benefit from being split apart into more cohesive wholes -- in this case, Morello's (which is excellent for hitting squishy characters who have or will receive incoming healing as protection) and new Liandry's (which is amazing at sustained fights against durable targets).

Ah, the issue there is that there's a lot of ways to compound the damage to be insanely high. At 2% maximum per tick for 3 seconds it's probably fine, but on longer DoTs like, say, Malzahar (4 seconds) or Moderkaiser (10 seconds), combined with Rylai's (which doubles the effectiveness), you're looking at around 4.4% maximum health per second for up to 13 seconds, with no way to really play around it.
Personally I'd like to see them put a maximum burn timer on any single given spell, and/or have the damage fall off after a certain time, but we'll see what pattern they settle on.
Mordepool1 votesRiot forgot Mordekaiser existed and made a item that does more dmg the longer a dot you have
