Still see it constantly from 6 to even 9 (!!!!) per game.

It needs -5 armor.

If I see Jayce Jax Lucian Caitlyn (any support here) I'm ALWAYS getting item 3047. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the item if people choose to run heavy AA comps.

I mean, what else we supposed to buy then? Swifties?

Clearly we have to go item 3111 because tabi is "op."

Tanks/bruisers should be going mercs or tabi, im not complaining about that.

Im complaining about tabi being so strong that assassins, adcs, mages and even supports also go for them.

Considering they've been dealing with shit like Draven, or Lucy, it's not hard to see why.

Hell if anything, ADCs going tabi to fight other ADCs just shows how strong ADCs are now.

There is something wrong when every champ class is chosing them over their prefered boots.

Mages going tabi over sorcerer, adcs going tabi over zerker... Yeah its not broken at all 4Head

It might be that AD is overtuned atm. TO be honest i'm finding AD bruiser and adc are way overtuned if your a non burst mage with range.

Tabi is overtuned.

Im just asking to bring it into line where it isnt better than every other boots, ppl buy tabi even when theres as little as 1 or 2 ad champs in the other team.

What mages are buying tabi? I'm not noticing that in the LCS and you're the only one who says mages but them.

So let me get this correct..... Tabi was fine for who knows how long. Changes to ad and new ad items. then everyone building it to LIVE LONGER.... yep totally not ad must be the thing that was fine for seasons until AD things got buffed.

Please. I don't know what this AD circle jerk is but only a hand full of mages are playable because of the raw strength of AD champs..... but lets not talk about that.

Lmao.

Almost every mage is above 50% win rate, even low tier ones like lux.

Then theres ori/syndra who are basically god tier in both solo q and competitive play been over half a year.

Poor mages im right?

Love your links showing this. Plus why is there always more AD champs than AP in games?

They're running tabi over their preferred class boots because it only makes sense. Comps are regularly seeing heavy AA-reliance and what is the best item to counter that ball of stats bullshit? Tabi.

You don't run sorcerer's into a comp with Lucian, Yasuo, Yi - what makes the absolute most sense is Tabi to completely minimize their effectiveness. You don't NEED the flat pen against them because they never itemize defensively.

If the situation DOESN'T call for tabi and people still buy it (I.E. into a Gragas Elise Azir Ezreal (any support here) comp) then they're idiots. But typically, it is the SMARTEST buy, not because it is OP, but due to heavy AA reliant team comps.

If there are a lot of AD, yes, ninja tabi WILL be a popular item.
