Stormrazor ruined support for me

CaptainAntiHeroz··5 votes·2,651 views

As a Lulu, Rakan, Leona, and Sona main I had gotten used to getting two shot or some crazy nonsense like that from time to time, however with the introduction of stormrazor to the game, it's like saying "hey you might be winning lane against that Jhin, but we've given him a free win because your adc uses attack speed rather than raw one shots" Completing a stormrazor, which on MOST CHAMPIONS sucks shouldn't compensate for lack of skill. If you can't farm well as an adc there shouldn't be a garuntee crit item to reward you for killing the trundle that thought we were diving. That in all normal assumptions, wouldn't fully reverse the Jhin losing lane. But no, now Jhin, MF and Draven get to run around taking 1/4 of a Leona with w on at Max ranks health away as soon as they step back into lane.

Honestly just get rid of the item instead of trying to buff it for the normal scaling carries while making it insane on early game carries. Make crit cheaper and remove stormrazor ty

Nope they want to add things they make the game more "fun" and chaotic not what's balanced and that's how they will continue to change the game.

I know... I was just hoping something would change if someone said something... Cuz full tank Olaf with stormrazor... Why is that allowed.... Where's the counterplay

all crit adcs been saying a lot, as the main support i feel your pain but, to be honest, they seem adamant in making the game unfun for those who don't surf the meta.

every meta change i feel like they are not Really rewarding meta players as much as they are punishing people that mains those champions that are not "IN"

You say you feel that Riot doesn't reward off-meta picks, which I agree with somewhat (except with the botlane fiasco currently), but you say that in response to someone complaining about an off-meta being "allowed". item 2050 ___item 2050 ???

I'm fine with off meta picks, I got an S on Shaco support earlier today I just don't like how the meta makes jinx and Tristana seem like troll picks, Jhins fourth shot with stormrazor literally melting all the support picks I have and MF literally half hitting people with double up without a full item Oh... And brand is kinda overloaded but that's beside the point...

I use those m7s to cover up the 80k mastery points m6 yasuo but I love playing Lulu 444 total mastery score, and the champion I refuse to play is Zilean

Being seen as a yasuo player ruins people's opinion of the quality of their "support that would've been a yasuo main if he could get the last 2 m7 tokens" They tend to be like "can I really put my life in this m4 thresh that wants to finish m7 yasuo?" But on the other hand I play like everything as a support at this point S on Shaco support, 1 m6 token for pyke, the seasons been interesting but freaking weird af

And if you meant zilean.... Well it's cuz I can't stand that guy, also like the only support I can't play at least somewhat competently

stormrazor is really cool.

im glad were seeing diversity in bot lane

I like diversity, I don't like not being able to itemize because of a 10 minute 1 item kills me instantly situation

But people like that guy are LITERALLY what riot is catering to. Balance comes second. Just saying.

If you pay attention to the meta at all you can tell that bot lane is bad at the moment, but not because of Stormrazor. If you were being constantly two-shot, and suddenly started to get one-shot because of a single item then it probably has more to do with yourself. As a support main, I have yet to be one-shotted at 10 minutes by a Stormrazor ADC. Show me a standard Leona, or any support for that matter, getting one-shot by a standard Jhin at 10 minutes and I will change my mind.

Bot lane is currently filled with champions that do not belong in bot lane, and a lot of them are outperforming most marksmen. They need to buff marksmen and/or their items if they are to resolve the fiasco in bot lane currently, and that will probably include Stormrazor.

Based on other comments here, you are taking highly unlikely events, such as Olaf going Stormrazor and winning and blowing it's viability out of proportions, very close to no one builds storm razors on Olaf. Also, the item isn't chaotic at all, it's pretty straightforward compared to other crit items that are reliant on percentages. Just shield or avoid being auto'd until they waste their empowered auto if it hurts you as much as you say it does at 10 minutes in.

You sound like someone who has never seen Rakan before.... Your not tanky, but you can't itemize fast enough for how fast stormrazor can be bought, unlike old ie which was a percent chance that they might chunk you, vs a garunteed crit It's simple garunteed crit is busted unless you actually have to put effort into it Crit items need to be cheaper, or all the"weak" crit carries need damage amps

I didnt specify Rakan but ok. Anyways, I've played Rakan plenty of times, and played against him many more times. You definitely have a chance to itemize alongside the enemy ADC building Stormrazor, the item costs 3200 gold total i believe? You can grab a redemption for 2100. Plus this whole itemization thing is completely skewed anyways, you do not need to buy a full item to help against Stormrazor. Ruby crystal and Cloth armor for example. You would literally have to be afk and unable to click the shop, OR jhin gets insanely fed, for him to one shot a Rakan or any other support.
