Guinsoo's and Trinity
Well, Trinity Force has been hardcore nerfed. It was an item that offered EVERYTHING. Absolutely everything. Movement speed, health, attack damage, mana, ability power, critical strike, attack speed. It was an offensive item that offered a li'l bit of everything to every offensive stat, it didn't discriminate. But nope, fuck off Ability Power. Fuck off bonus damage to your AP abilities for that mixed damage. Sorry Jax, sorry Udyr, sorry AD Evelynn, you don't get mixed damage.
And right as you remove the 30 AP from Trinity Force, we see this..
> NEWUNIQUE PASSIVE Basic attacks grant +8% Attack Speed, +3 Attack Damage, and +4 Ability Power for 5 seconds (stacks up to 8 times, melee attacks grant 2 stacks). While you have 8 stacks, gain Guinsoo's Rage. NEWGUINSOO'S RAGE Basic attacks deal bonus magic damage on hit equal to 20 + 15% of bonus Attack Damage and 7.5% of Ability Power to the target and nearby enemy units.
Guinsoo's Rageblade deals bonus magic damage on his equal to 7.5% of ability power. That's neat! That's an item that would work on Jax, keeping true to his Weaponsmaster, where every item benefits him in some way. That'd be a great item with Trinity Force, offering 32 AP from Guinsoo's and 30 AP from Trinity Force. That's 62 AP. That's a lot of extra damage. But, wait.. Trinity Force got nerfed. It doesn't benefit Jax as much anymore. So I should drop Trinity Force for Guinsoo's, right? Nope, I can't, the Sheen proc is too valuable. So if you want that 32 AP for your abilities and defense by proxy because of your ultimate, you're just going to have to give up a defensive item. This is a big nerf to Jax, and a big nerf to all Trinity Force users, especially ones that first-item rush it (Udyr, Jax, off the top of my head). I play those two champions pretty often, I have almost 100k mastery points on Udyr, and while I don't have as many Jax mastery points, I played him quite a lot before the introduction of Mastery Points, carrying myself to Gold with him. Jax is the reason why I am Gold right now, and this was before Sated Devourer. I feel like I have the right to make some criticism on these items, and how they'll affect these two champions.
This is ridiculous. Revert the AP removal from Sheen. It's, similarly, a nerf to Fizz, Kassadin and other champions who build Sheen in to Lich Bane for extra damage. I don't understand why you're ignoring feedback of this caliber, is it because you want to "evaluate the numbers" like you are with Mordekaiser? How's he doing? Oh, nothing on him either, despite it being months since that update. Glad we can trust you. Just ignore our feedback. Ignore the feedback on Sword of the Occult, ignore the feedback on Trinity Force, ignore all the feedback. I'm glad I'm hopping on the bandwagon for ADC role this season, because Jungle just became pitifully painful for us Jax and Udyr mains.
Like a TRUE Hybrid.
