I would like to see Cleaver reworked again
i think it is too generally powerful and too easily abusable
What i want to see is to shift the armor shred stacking to scaling with time in combat. id actually like to replace the armor shred with some other form of damage boost entirely, but I can't think of anything that would dent tanks while not also making it easy to nuke squishies. possible it could just become % pen for selfish purposes
this reduces the cheese potential of MF/lucian and makes it worse on assassins unless they spend a while in the fight, but keeps the item viable on sustained damage fighters and possibly become more accessible to other ADCs provided they actually stay in the fight long enough
i think BC changes would be a good step to addressing quickness of teamfights and the general OPness of AD, while also trying to maintain its importance for juggernauts etc.
as an example of what an AD caster IS NOT.
Nocturne, like marksman, synergizes with crit. His damage comes not from abilities, but from basic attacks. He has abilities, but they supplementary and not core. Varus synergizes with crit because he is ranged, but the majority of his damage comes from his abilities unless he all ins. Same thing with lucian; youre never mindlessly basic attacking like you do with caitlyn or jinx, youre using abilities in between your basic attacks to do your damage.
lucian with just
. They lost every time unless they had CC or red buff.
