I can think of no way that nerfing armour would improve this game. The meta already revolves around who can protect/kill the enemy adc most effectively, so why would it ever be a good idea to nerf armour, making the carry role even more central to the meta?
Riot said they would fix armor itemization to that it's weaker mid game and stronger late game, better scaling basically. Hopefully they go that route because it's the right direction. It makes no sense when most tanks are unkillable at 20 minutes and then 10 minutes later I can almost 5 shot them.
Because It's almost time for Worlds and it's time for Zed to shine, bby.
Riot nerfs armor. AD and AP stacking meta starts
YOU FOOLS YOU'VE BROKEN THEIR CHAINS AND NOW THE ASSASSINS SHALL REIGN SUPREME AGAIN!
We need to buff our ADC overlords to negate any changes that may actually help fighters for once.
Nuff' said.
prevents early towerdives, prevents all ad teams from being negated around the 4 item mark, prevents anyone with a single armor item from tanking baron, makes sure that EVERYONE DEALS MORE DAMAGE TO EVERYONE (not just the adc)
Because Vayne cleared had still waaaaaay to many counters blocking her from her free 10 minute ingame lategame status.
On a positive note, it might stop the popularity of Vayne. Other ADCs will be able to do more damage against less armor while Vayne won't benefit as much from it.
I agree with OP and have read only nonsense in opposition to his argument.
This could have been avoided by simply making more than mages and baron deal magic damage. If you're tanking a split team that has mostly magic damage but maybe an ADC and bruiser, it's better to build HP and armor with 1 MR item because baron, dragon, towers, all minions, all monsters, and all auto attacks deal physical damage.
Split damage on towers between phys and magic, make caster minions do magic damage, make baron entirely magic damage. They wouldn't have to nerf armor if this were the case.
exactly i wonder if most people realize vayne dose not even build as much damage as other adcs most the time she just builds more as then most to go those w procs
For the love of god, it's the 70 AD steroid that makes her ridiculous and is the principle reason she builds more aspd. The silver bolts, even on tanks is almost never the majority of her damage. You need something stupid like 600 armor and relatively low max HP for it to crest 50%
The only way to make an armor nerf viable is when they also nerf 
. I can see the reason for the armor nerf tho. I feel it's intended to help ganking junglers that use warriors in the lategame.
However if they don't nerf I feel it will hurt more than doing something good.
