Why do you nerf Sunfire and magic resist items?

I don't understand the logic... you nerf tanks and buff bruisers in the same moment. Why!? Toplane is gonna be like squad. Reducing BC cost or increasing Sunfire cost apart would be better. Not both changes in the same patch. Nerfing magic resist items and improving magic damage for new apcs? What the hell is this? Let's see. 45 MR GA, 55 MR Visage, 25 MR boots. 125 bonus MR are you kidding me? Against new magic dmg guys that deals % max damage!? You know we're forced to build a lot of armor too cuz adcs are still in the game.

Why?

Let me ask you when you last really saw anyone that is a tank or a jungernaut rush something other then Sunfire or IBG. How often you see assassins rushing these 2 items as well.

It has been too good for the cost and will still likely be option A or B to rush.

It offeres decent damage and wave clear while not being something to disregard in defensive stats either. I wish Wit's end felt as worthwhile to rush on Irelia and Jax as Sunfire feels to rush on Volibear or Shen or Fizz.

and God forbid they have a legit tank player on their team who mains a Maoki or a nautlist, for if they do, you end up with a mega tank, who can't be killed who ccs for days and does tons of damage. Legit, I built pure tank on my Jg Sejuani one day, with Blue gem as my only damage item.

I died only once and did more damage than our full damage Fizz mid laner ._.

That is how out of hand AOE and Tanks items are atm

Well. Increasing Sunfire cost is okay. But why on the earth they reduce BC cost???

Riot's special AD babies were jealous that mages got new stuff so they tosses them some buffs this patch too.

Because simply nerfing the strongest tank items would get fighters back into a good state

Many shorten it out to IBG because we are lazy.
