I enjoy how, because big changes are coming, we all have to suffer the current state until nov

Is it very hard to just slip 3 or 4 super minor changes to improve the game for the next few weeks? just knock a little attack speed off of the adc core items. will that honestly break the game so bad that the world will end?

Ardent is getting hard nerfed. That is a nerf to ADCs

ADCs are broken in general, mostly due to things like itemization. Ardent was a problem in it's own right but it's issues were only amplified because it assisted an already busted class the most. Nerfing Ardent will not fix the ADC problem, just make it less big.

Lol no it's not. ADC's will still get 2 zeal items + infinity edge and still just wreck the enemy team. Tristana, Twitch, Caitlyn, Kog'maw will still be good enough early game and monsters late game. ADC items are incredibly powerful and incredibly cheap. People have suggested more anti-crit itemization and maybe have Thornmail reflect extra damage on crits.

To be fair, Censor did for a while, negate the need for LS in your itemization. And even when that got nerfed, Enchanters as a whole, reduced the need for sustain. (Also, Warlords synergizing with the other energize items.)

ADC itemization simply doesn't have the same level of Opportunity cost as it use to. Itemizing 3 or 4 crit items meant giving up LS, or giving up your last whisper. That use to be huge, but at the moment you can build exclusively for a Max DPS with little defensive repercussion.

adcs arent being changed in any way whatsoever just because you have a janna/lulu or a leona/blitzcrank. theyre still fundamentally broken, the meta will just adapt to find the current best way to abuse adcs to the max.

First it's because of Worlds.

Then it's because big changes!

Then it'll be because of letting the waves settle!

Then it will be because of Spring Split.

I would like to point out as a support main, I've had an ADC stomp even without item 3504 its not as OP as everyone thinks it is its not core like item 3031 and item 3087 are, and nerfing it isn't going to stop the ADC burst meta any its just going to annoy supports cause they keep on and keep on getting their items nerfed and nerfed and nerfed cause of non-supports

Personally, I decided to quit until RR drops and went & made a PBE account instead. [sg-poppy]

Ardent Censor is being nerfed next patch, Rammus is becoming even better against ADCs while being worse against Mages, Urgot is actually getting some pretty massive buffs without being the "help me, I'm stuck in a pit" kind of buffs, and Manamune is actually getting buffed. I feel like those are nice for now.

NO, RIOT'S BALANCE TEAM DOING THEIR JOB OF BALANCING IS TOO HARD OF A JOB FOR ANYONE AND THERE TOTALLY ISN'T ANYONE IN THE WORLD MORE ABLE TO FIX THE GAME!

sigh... everyone likes to hop on ardent censor, and it isn't the problem. remove ardent censor from the game and adc's will still do loads of burst dps. Hence my suggestion to knock some attack speed off of their core items. Read into stuff peeps, stop repeating popular boards.
