BORK nerf or?

Might as well play a high damage jungler for more damage since everyone and their jungle adcs get bork which effectively fucks tanks up. I'm starting to flatout fear playing tanks because they're just gonna get as much HP shred/max hp% true damage, along with BORK users as they can to fuck my day up.

As a tank player, I am WAY happier playing against Bork or Black Cleaver than Lord Dominik's. Maybe it could use slight tuning to bring it in line and keep itemization, but its not nearly as bad as when they made the LW items ignore nearly half the bloody armor you built.

The LW nerf was ok, but they compensated LDR by adding +5% more damage. Meanwhile they nerfed like 5 normal tank items, some by almost a full ruby crystal of health. BORK was nerfed previously from 8% because it was strong as hell. It was dumped back to 6% which kind of balanced it but also weakened it somewhat (at least every ADC wasn't building it). Why not 7%? Middle of both...or just 6% because 8% is ridiculous at this time.

The health nerf on the tank items did indirectly nerf BORK, yeah, but it also directly nerfed against everyone else since TBC and LW are still widely built.

Which is another thing. TBC needs to be melee only.

EDIT: Except, more people build BORK than LW atm.

Botrk got a cost increase together with generally less health and more armor and tanks last patch... Besides this the crit build paths got buffed so let the dust settle and we can see how well it does after that.

I still see BORK every game on any adc. +100 gold is pretty much one wave of creeps.

Wait for it to change then. Champions like caitlyn no longer builds it in my games, so it is likely just a matter of elo and bandwagoners.
