rip ap champions

I can't believe riot is dumb enough to do this. Basically every AP item across the board is being nerfed or costs more, except for maybe abyssal scepter. Mana potions are gone, and the compensation base mana buffs are being traded with mana regen nerfs. Zhonyas hourglass, the standard anti-ad ap item, is getting butchered with 20 less ap, 200 more gold cost, and 5 less armor. Even runeglaive is getting nerfed.

The point of balancing is to keep everything EQUAL, not to rotate which groups of champions are strong and weak, so that they can get their own time in the spotlight. Riot is trying to create a meta where adcs + yasuo are ridiculously overpowered, and I really just can't understand why.

True balance would mean that every champion is pickable and has a 50% win rate across all elos.

Obviously this isn't possible, but the reason for these AP item changes is that AP champions in general are too strong. this tones them down a bit, allowng more AD champions to be picked. AP champions will still be good, but AD being weak isn't "balanced"
