Xypherous, I don't have a PBE account, but wanted to comment on one AP item change coming to PBE

So in your recent post on PBE forums, you mention that you're changing RoA, reducing its health while giving it more AP. While I understand the reasoning behind this, I have some problems with it. RoA has been a core item on AP Bruisers like Singed and Swain forever and this is nothing but a nerf to them. Their DoT, while increased a bit by the AP, pales in comparison to the lack of tankiness they'll have at RoAs completion that they NEED, especially during the mid game.

So what are the plans to help these champs out since you're nerfing(for them) a core item in their build paths?

Ok, that's a really fucking stupid idea. The itemization for AP Bruisers (as well as the choice pool for AP Bruisers as well) is thin enough as-is. We don't need to make their trademark item fucking shit on top of it.

I mean, AP bruisers as a whole are already crippled because, unlike AD bruisers, they can't just build one or two damage items and call it a day.
