Brutalizer: What The Hell Were You People Thinking

It's such an illogical decision that I've still built a brutalizer on numerous occasions, only to remember that it's now completely useless in my build path. I'm all for changing black cleaver, do what you need to do to make the game more balanced and the like. But who the hell needs a phage and a kindlegem with their fucking armor shred? You've completely removed the most viable option for ad cdr and indirectly hard-nerfed champs like zed or jayce who rely on it to be effective in the midgame. I'm not saying to change the item back to the way it was, but put the brutalizer back in somewhere and do it fast. Next patch at the latest. I know I'm not the only one pissed off about this.

Brutalizer on its own is a broken item anyway

It gives 3 stats that all scale off of each other in moderate amounts for only 1337 gold

It didn't need an item for casters to also shred everything late game, and now bruisers actually have a good item

Bruh... U made your own comment useless. First you say do whatever needed to make the game more balanced... Ever had the thought that they maybe weeken pplz like tht with that on purpose? O.o Besides that makes it an item you don't have to rush. It can easily be the third dmg item. Nobody is that damn tanks that u need the armor shred that bad before 25 min.

Exactly. Zed and Jayce are both often-oppressive champions throughout the game. Actually, taking Brutalizer out of their standard build paths made it so that they had a more clearly defined window of weakness. I think that making an item like that less available to oppressive, lane-bullying champs like Zed and Jayce is actually an intelligent decision on Riot's part.

Now, i think it is ridiculous that Brutalizer now only has 1 build path.

But dont pretend that Ghostblade isnt a good item on Zed or Talon.

Brutalizer needs to build into an assassin oriented item. Youmuu is for ADC's right now.

We need a new assassin item for AD because of what they did to Cleaver.
