Should be melee only, they should literally be restricted only to melee. Once this is done, we can actually work towards fixing melee v ranged so that tanks and juggernauts won't be as bad as they are now compared to ranged counterparts that abuse THEIR items.
ItsOrval13 votesHeres what should be melee items:
AirKingNeo2 votesMaybe night of edge, but not Duskblade. That's a Quinn nerf. Also just make BoRK 6% if ranged, 8% if melee instead, cause Kalista.
Saianna11 votesDuskblade was created as assassins tool.
ADCs ain't assassins = fuck ADCs and their demands = duskblade melee only.

IS AN ASSASSIN
No other AD carry would build duskblade because that requires building more armor pen. ADCs don't usually wanna build armor pen and build crit. However now that armor pen is more balanced ADCs should have the diversity to build it if they want and fall off properly/not snowball insanely.
Also do you really want to fuck ADCs over? Do you know how these boards work? They whine and complain about whatever class is weak. Morde's weak and getting "nerfed"? 5 threads about Rylais. Beginning of season 6, everyone complaining ADCs are too weak? 5 threads on ADCs/Last Whisper. Besides, you're saying fuck ADCs yet we complain about Kalista being weak and no other ADC than Quinn would build Duskblade.
This kind of mentality of "well this X is strong so FUCK THEM and lets NERF THEM INTO THE GROUND AND NEVER BE GOOD FOR MONTHS" is the stupidest thing I see. What about those mains? Was it really fair to Jax mains for Jax to be completely gutted just because "he was strong at time." (48% winrate top lane, 52% jungle.) No, it wasn't. Neither is it fair to Quinn to be nerfed for no reason.
TwinkiePro6 votesNo one really cares if ADCs are weak. We'd love that actually. No one like fighting quinn top because we know players like that are just abusing her for her range and self peel. No skill about her against any melee.
AirKingNeo2 votesQuinn mid? What about that?
"But no one plays it!" No one plays Morde either.
TwinkiePro1 votesThen we would treat it the same as varus with weaker poke but much stronger peel. It's the peel part on quinn everyone feels is toxic. point and click reposition stun into blind. Good fucking luck countering that.
AirKingNeo3 votesAnd the Azir's Wall is toxic, but we said buff him. Kalista's passive is toxic and we said buff her. Morde's ult is toxic and we're saying buff him.
Also Quinn's E's knockback is very brief, half a second. Her Q is easy to dodge. Her damage laning phase isn't that good.
TwinkiePro1 votesLee Sin's ult stun last shorter yet everyone complains about that. Morgana snare is 3 seconds on a ~7 second CD at 30% CDR. Nasus Wither is a scaling slow that caps around 99% and last a total of 5 seconds, and no one complains about that. The durations are not the problem, It's that she is very difficult to deal with and is very much a lane bully.
You are also comparing Ultimates and a passive to an 8 second miniature knock up with a 50% slow that scales down over a second or so. This also marks them for her passive. This can easily be followed up with her Q to deal more damage and mark them again with her passive, which also blinds them to anything beyond a short radius. Do you understand how irritating she is to deal with as a melee champion? Or how difficult it is to run from her or stop her ult at her speed for anybody?
On a side note, how is morde's ultimate toxic? irritating with rylais but nothing more.
AirKingNeo1 votesLee has to get into melee range to ult. Morg snare is very dodgable. Nasus is still Nasus.
You're the one who called Quinn toxic but she has counterplay.
Morde ult? Take a dragon and you got a free tower.
ShaolinToilet10 votesStop saying no one and we.
TwinkiePro1 votes"Most"
The difference is negligible anyways. 97% or more basically encompasses my words.
Ahristocats1 votesas long as i agree with what should be done, this is right we can't speak for everyone.
Arybus3 votes"No other AD carry would build duskblade because that requires building more armor pen."
OH...{{champion:6} }of {{champion:21} course 
no marksman 
ever
builds
Armor
Penetration
AirKingNeo5 votesJhin, Twitch, Graves, and Draven all build ghostblade into Crit. Varus is a mage marksmen, he builds armor pen as a caster which isn't unhealthy. Jayce isn't a marksmen he's an anti-bruiser and as a caster he's supposed to build armor pen. Lucian builds crit now, unsure about MF but she'd be the only one.
EDIT: Downvoted for being correct, nice people really showing how mature this community can be.
TheHappyReaperz1 votesQuinn is an adc
Leetri2 votesJhin, Twitch and Vayne are officially Marksmen/Assassins, so technically they should be able to use the item just like Zed or Talon.
Saianna1 votesYes, and Garen is technically a mage then.. stop this nonsense.
They are hybrid'ish assassins at best.
Riot nerfed the living shit out of assassin part in twitch though.
Leetri1 votesYes, having 2 roles usually means they're a hybrid, like how Garen is a Fighter/Tank hybrid or how Katarina is an Assassin/Mage hybrid. Talon, Zed, Rengar, Kha'Zix, Fizz and Ekko are Slayer/Fighter hybrids, the only "pure" assassins in the game are Akali and Shaco. So I guess that means only Akali and Shaco are allowed to use the assassin items then.
HazyCloud71 votesYou say that as if nerfing Quinn is a bad thing? She's one of the cheesiest champions in the game. Just by being viable top lane is a far worse place.
GULAG 4 U2 votesNot ruined king, every else yeah.
Awoof2 votesHeres what should be melee items:
Why? As far as I remember this was made for adcs primarily.
Ahristocats2 votesread xypherous when he made the item.
Hinagiku332 votesActually, when was added it was a Fighter item. It gave no Attack Speed, did 4% of current HP and healed you for half in addition to the AD, Lifesteal, and active. Later on it was reworked into a Marksman item and given Attack Speed and the forums complained that Riot was taking away Fighter items to give Marksmen even more tools to hose them.
Glad to see that never changed /s
The Space Cowboy6 votesCan we add and maybe even to the list?
-Bork just so they can tune it up for intended users.
Bob41311 votesOn the PBE, got its passive back up to 8%, so its at least not so terrible
The Space Cowboy3 votesYa, but inevitably it will get abused and nerfed. If it was melee only maybe they could leave it at 8%.
notice me Sin pi4 votesunfortunately we will never see any sort of treatment unless it becomes a serious issue in LC$ which are not gonna happen for a long time from now on either
ZacsRealm4 votes
AirKingNeo1 votesIt's just like Morde and Rylais. It's such an underused thing that they shouldn't really care. Like nerfing Rylais, should they buff Azir? No, Azir still hasn't been fixed.
Seenan3 votesI never see much champs build Steraks anymore on non-tanks, even though it can be completely necessary.
TBC on ranged should be half as effective or something since they can apply stacks easier. Frostborn has broken Ezreal for a whole season or two, and even got it changed slightly/nerfed in damage (I believe also Ekko and some other bruisers got it nerfed to 100%).

They don't build it on Abusers (Marksman) anymore because they Nerfed the stats. So the Juggernaut & Tank items got Nerfed how the fk is that fair. Make it melee only and then buff it fk Marksman and their whiny asses
AirKingNeo2 votesLets not fuck marksmen but still don't allow them to abuse bruiser items.

Bârd3 votesYeah, fuck different builds!
should only be able to build 
!
should only be able to build crit!
should be forced to build 
, because FUCK dynamic playstyles! Pure tanks for life!
should go rot in a corner until people learn to play him as an ADC! I mean, that's what Rito advertises him as, so of course that's what he is!
build a fucking 
you dolts!
Sorry, no more nostalgic AD build for you!
/s
Veltox1 votesI think should be kept universal.
obviously.
no more blue cancer ? YUS PLZ.
How about 
too?draintanking for adc's should not be a thing imo.
AirKingNeo4 votesGage needs to be melee and buffed so ADCs can't abuse it but Bruisers can actually buy it.
Astôlfo1 votesThey should have made all the flat armor pen/Lethality items melee only.

A ranged bruiser that transforms into a juggernaut with vanguard level cc? Yeah riot overloaded and fukt him up severely. That being said, he is like mordekaiser. We will not stand by and let cleaver continue to be used by ADCs, regardless of whether the change dumpsters gnar or not, I dont give a shit quite frankly. They can always give gnar the garen treatment and give him some innate shred. They can prob work it into his three hit passive.
MrWasjig1 votesAs soon as these items are made Melee Only, they can be given some decent fucking stats too [zombie-brand-clap]
Tychusfindlay9191 votesAs soon as these items are made Melee Only, they can be given some decent fucking stats too [zombie-brand-clap]
While I agree that IBG and steraks are both pitiful, cleaver is in a fine spot for the most part.
DoktorKaiser1 votes - yes definitely
- uhmmm no, only ezreal uses it and he isnt a problem
- i am not sure, its broken on some champions (mf, lucian, jayce, gnar) but then again somebody like urgot would be destroyed
- this should be number one item removed from ranged, the constant slow is cancerous on ranged champions
- I think should also be melee only so that it doesnt get abused by ADC's
