Blade Of The Ruined King is completely overpowered!!!
Has become way too damn strong. And has complete displaced the balance of marksmen in the bottom lane. There is no more variety in ADC builds anymore.
has now become the standard and it has completely fucked up the balance of the game. Particularly to tanks.
Used to be that if ADC's wanted to take down tanks quickly they would have to get Armor Penetration, but because of BotRK they can completely negate having to get that item early. Now naturally ADC's are a Tank's main weakness with being able to kit and all, but you used to be able soak up the damage of an ADC to get close enough to engage so your team can follow up. After all that's a Tank's main job. And you didn't have to worry about taking too much damage unless the ADC built armor pen early or was fed. But now with 8% health damage per auto attack ADC's have absolutely nothing to fear from tanks. And lastly the only time i see ADC's build Armor Pen now is simply to get
so they can negate the enemy ADC's own lifesteal from the BotRK.
A huge part of the balance and strategy of this game is the variety and ways to build your items. Depending on the situation dictated what items you should build. ADC's no longer have that. It's the same cookie cutter build in every game on every ADC.
Maybe the balance team wants everybody to build the same thing so they don't have to work?[slayer-pantheon-popcorn]
