Juggernaut items nerfed because it's abused by ADCs.

God I love Season 6.

Do you want to nerf all the marksmen? Is that a better idea to you?

Boards complain so much about champions being nerfed instead of the items, but since you don't like the champions it's fine to nerf them.

its more a symptom of assassins blowing adc up if they don't have it the alternative is banshee

But banshee does not give ad and the spellshield is too easily procced in advance its good enough vs ap assassins but steraks gives a ton more hp which makes it as good as banshee but 3 times better vs ad assasssins

Assassins with their bullshit mobility like point and click blinks and dashes are really hard to stay away from so instead its better to get a steraks and make sure you do not die.

sligtly less dps but at least you survive long enough to deal some at all.

They need to make gage a melee only item, that's the only nerf it needs.

Graves item 3142 item 3156 item 3053 item 1412 item 3094 item 3009 is probably why lol

Yeah. It's one of my favorite items. So I am annoyed that it is getting nerfed.

really? who even builds it? I remember doing the math and even on Illaoi who has the highest base AD and abilities that scale off her base is better off building black cleaver instead.

its one of the go to defensive items for adcs, even kindred jungle takes steraks quite often. Basically any bruiser can take it. You know its a problem when Yi is taking it as well. Honestly i think titanic hydra needs to be nerfed more than steraks, but thats me.

It sounds like those players are trolling themselves... Kindred has the second lowest base AD at level 18 in the game and the defensive stats are just alright for the cost.

The shield is actually amazing. LeBlanc jumps on your face twice assuming you'll instantly die, your shield leaves you at half health, she dies before her jump comes back up. It's great.

i build it on a lot of champions. the passive is quite strong. sure you can get more health. but the ad and the bonus ad you get when you proc the passive. is just great. so is the shield. works really well with maws.

I build it as a tank when facing a heavy burst comp.

That is such a blatant misunderstanding of Steraks that it's not even wrong.

Practically nobody. You have your typical champs, but even they don't really consider it core. ADCs have started to abuse it more and more often, so they're the ones the nerfs are targeting.

And now even less people will build it because it's barely worth it already on the champs it's meant for.

You should be building BOTH black cleaver and steraks on illaoi.

Between item 3147 and item 3053 nerfs, Riot REAALLLY wants AD assassins back in the meta.

Zed: i'm too flashy to not be in the meta! Balance is weakness!

Link? Seriously if the problem is that Sterak's is being used by people other than Bruisers or Tanks then just turn the 30% max HP into 40% bonus HP or something. Come on now.

It's getting nerfed by 100 HP on the PBE.

There goes my standard Urgot build. item 3042 item 3078 item 3053

Robbit Mang1 votes

trinity force makes a lot more sense on a more damage focused ad carry type urgot build maybe with essence reaver and IE and rapid firecannon... if youre building a steraks just go IBG, trust me its so good.

Westonbirt1 votes

I know IBG Is very good. I built it early in the season just after they retuned it instead of Frozen Heart. But my build is more focused on damage, and in that regard Triforce has a better scaling with base attack damage and also gives you critical strike. With only Mana-stick, Triforce and Gage I get around 800~1000 damage crits.

I mean I'm not surprised. It's good on anyone who builds AD.
