Riot really needs to focus on an item balance patch, introduce new options and change current items
Reduce the damage stats granted on CDR items because you shouldn't have burst AND the ability to throw out back to back abilities. The absolute maximum any CDR item should grant is 50 AP/AD, anything more and it's just absurd damage inflation because you empower your abilities AND throw them out more often for absolutely no cost.
Add more options to deal with the obscene damage in the game. Add a
item with armor, add Magic-Resist items with Mana so
and
aren't the ONLY hyper-niche items in the game that grant both. Add items that grant Physical or Adaptive damage shields, items that create grounded AoEs. Add items that create temporary Walls that absorb incoming projectiles like a
wall. Add ward upgrades that make it possible to drop a
so you can have some sort of counterplay to late-game assassins.
Literally do anything to give the game diversity and counterplay, because it's so beyond fucking boring seeing the same exact braindead shit items every fucking time.
Oh boy I bought

, I really worked hard to wipe out 1/3 of an enemy's HP bar because I landed a single spell after missing 10.
Oh boy I bought
, I really worked hard to all-in that enemy after hitting them with a single CC after missing my combo 10 times while they do 0 damage to me.
Oh boy I bought
, I really worked hard missing every part of my combo and totally whiffing my ult, glad to know electrocute will be back up in 20 seconds though so I can 1-shot them with 2 abilities anyway after missing 20.
Oh boy I bought
, I really worked hard right clicking a squishy enemy from 700 range and getting a lucky 600+ damage crit,
It's fucking stupid and needs to be addressed Riot, fix your game and make it so people have to actually THINK about their fucking items instead of just building the same exact fucking thing no matter the champion they're playing because the items give you access to Burst per Second due to the obscene amount of Damage CDR/Attack-Speed and increased damage passives tacked onto every fucking item.
