Strongest: take notes Adc. Runner up: no more Rng, tons more damage! Honorable mention: RIP Zephyr.

Weakest: shadow of its former self. Runner down: havent seen anyone build this all season, except for me once by accident. Dishonorable mention: needs to shield allied structures or something.

Most improved: Omnivore is dope, the raw stats are dope, and the active is, you guessed it, dope. It may be niche but it yields a lot of power on champs that build it. Runner stationary(Im weird): yep this bad boy makes the list twice because and said so. Indifferent mention(I had to): decent stat buff and ridiculously fast completion.

Overall Im happy with the state of items currently in s6. Have other opinions? please share.

Strongest: item 3142 , pre-nerf item 3156 was far stronger tho Weakest: item 3152 or item 3030 . Literally no reason to buy any of those, except for silly full AP Rango videos. item 3075 might seem weak, but is still a quite common late game purchase. Most improved: item 3146

Trinity Force got kind of a power shift. It now synergises a lot better with Champions like Jax and Irelia, while being a lot worse on champions like Gangplank and Corki... I wouldn't call the item straight up stronger.

According to SoloQtier list the tri force changes are beneficial to gangplank.

Yeah actually the change was great for GP, that extra CDR and attack speed is wonderful.

Sahn UzalJun 26, 20161 votes

Gangplank used to be able to get 100% crit chance, and have his damage be reliable. His early game is now slightly better, but his lategame is worse. Unless RNGesus really likes you.

I'm not here to complain about how aweful GP is now or something, because he is still a really strong champion. Sidenote, Corki did take a huge hit, and got some pretty significant buffs. So I suppose my point still stands =P

I actually like the changes more for GP. I just run some increased armor penetration and a little more raw AD in my build to bridge the gap.

I just like the way it feels more, probably just personal preference for playstyles.

I'm personally a big fan of reliability. I currently only get Shiv and IE for crit (50%), because getting a PD brings me to 80, which still isn't reliable, so the PD feels like a waste of gold to me. I really dislike having to cross my fingers if I'll kill a person.

SerevasJun 26, 20161 votes

Yeah, I get that. For me I really never hit the point where I had 100% crit anyway, the game was usually over before then so it doesn't feel a whole lot different to me damage-wise, but now the attack speed and faster CDR path are pretty nice in their place.

I actually reached the point of 100% crit in most of my games, since I farm a fuck ton when try harding.

Tbh, 2 bad so sad for gp hes like the only 1 besides maybe yasuo that doesnt benefit from the changes XD

I will point out that its a huge buff to non-crit plank :P

My picks as a mage main. Strongest item 3027 Weakest item 3152 Honestly, no reason to build this, if you want a Hextech item, GLP is better. Most Improved item 3156 (I am salt)
