Because they’d need to fix ADCs properly removing Stormrazor and AD assassins if removing both.

Now I know how it feels to be a mage during the Morello era and literally only being viable because of one stupid item. If you aren’t playing a Stormrazor ADC, you aren’t playing League.

They dont need to. They just need to make it so you cant stack them

Cause riot needs MF to continue to abuse duskblade so their skin whore can sell skins while simultaneously being good, and ergo stay popular.

Because Riot are too much of a bunch of greedy fuckers to admit defeat that they fucked up the game. They're too proud cos "zomg our huge game dominates esports we do nothing wrong". Kids wanna 100-0 people because they don't wanna do something where they have to think, then feel like a god so they will buy heaps of skins. $$$$$ thank capitalism for the downfall of the game.

Actually both items (mainly duskblade) have always been hugely problematic for the game. Ask anyone who is masters + and they will tell you the same thing. Why do you think it's been messed around with so much in such little time it's been out? It's an item that rewards you for bad gameplay lol Legit go to any pro player or masters + and ask them and lemme know what they say.

... Why should they remove it from the game?

Stormrazor have its fair share of problem but Stormrazor is only a problem on champion abusing the item aka assassin and some bruisers wanting to do an OS build. The item is not problematic on their core user, the ADC.

It is as if you said Black Cleaver should have be removed because some ADC abused it. The outrage that would have got... But I guess ADC item are fine to remove because 'reason'.

The moment their passive will stop being stackable, it will clearly stop this kind of abuse.

stormrazor is problematic even on the ADCs, since it boosts champions like draven and jhin much more than others, even though those champions were already balanced.

anyway, rengar has always been able to oneshot people. even before stormrazor. assassins are always a problem in league. rengar oneshots then dies, shaco tries to then dies, khazix tries to then escapes, evelynn oneshots then escapes. they all seem really unbalanced when compared each other... rito should make it clear what to be expected by assassins, and then make changes.

I hate how champions are associated with items now. "Oh we nerfed this item, we thus need to adjust that champ".

Back in the days, champions were not associated so much with specific items, you had the choice to build according to your composition / playstyle, enemy comp, ......

Next step: you don't even buy items anymore, then just get bought automatically when you go back to the base (as if they were are just a part of the kit, not a choice)

because items were stat sticks back then. now so many items have them gimmicky unique passives/actives that are on-par (or even stronger) than the actual stats on the item.

Nevrankroaton1 votes

Except a LOT of time, when Riot changed items, some champions were hurt in the process and people would rant at them saying they should buff this champ that is now weak because he used X or Y and these items have been nerf.

They do that because it was proved that sometime, an item excerd a bad pattern and sometime, a champion is reliant on an item to scale well.

You are incorrect, plenty of champs have always been item reliant.

Akali with gunblade, Jax&irelia with triforce.

Old Fiora and rav hydra.....even new one uses it mainly.

All the crit marksmen exist around crit items, live and die with them.

Mages are a bit more open but they tend to be looking for certain stats instead, if they can get those early then they are good otherwise they are bad.

Stuff like this has always been common.

Wukong win rate drops to 40%

Riot: Oh shit we gotta buff him again

Patch notes:

Wukong: cyclone + 100 base damage, + 4 attack growth and + 200 range on dash.

"Here at riot we feel wukong has been too weak for the past couple patches and would like to reward his high skill gameplay"

Don't forget the compensation buffs for Zed and Talon too. Difference is, those won't be nerfed anytime soon because of the worlds

DKM Bismarck3 votes

Except Talon got nerfed a couple of patches ago, which nearly phased him out of proplay, and the rune nerfs hurt both.
