The Sorcery tree is pretty bad
Too strong as a sub rune Gathering storm and Absolute focus is giving out too much free damage. Also 18 adaptive from Offense and Flex.
Examples:
Already in a good spot, but with multiple crits on top of triforce + conq set up? Pretty damn strong.
Yet again, still in a good spot.. but the synergy with the runes? Off the charts.
Like I love the idea of Conquerers boosting up Triforce damage and being cool. But when players are getting free damage for simply existing?
Comparing to the tank page Literally the whole page sucks minus Aftershock. Tanks initiate, but having a 4 second delay on grasp? Stone plating is the most selected rune, randomly making supports invincible to poke. Why even bother with Conditioning or Second wind.. when it's exclusively better to just bone plating ALL-in whoever is poking you down?
This brings up pre-nerfs Akali. "She is 0-3, but can still 100-0 any player as soon as she gets gunblade". Remember that? Oh that's pretty much when she gets Sorc boots + Gunblade + Gathering storm synergy with Electrocute.
Manaflow Band and Transcendance
Lissandra uses this, Malzahar uses this.
Infinite mana.. pretty good for the meta isn't he? Literally no counter play.
Surprised we haven't seen a mana cost nerf to Malzahar yet.
Pretty much has Malzahar level wave clear, with no interaction in lane other then getting snared to get ganked by the jungler lol
TLDR - Nerf damage . . start here. Add some more interesting mechanics other than giving us free raw stats that everyone abuses.
