Infinity Edge balance

Infinity edge is meh early game. Adcs need 3 items to carry a game but with the shorter gametimes this preseason, it becomes moderately difficult to actually get there and compete with every other role that carries harder once getting there. Crit ADCs suffer this the most. We can improve on them by improving upon IE. Give it a flat 30% attack speed and a flat 30% armor penetration upon completion of the item and call it a day. This will also help Adcs to fit things like Merc Treads into their builds when appropriate.

This has to be a joke haha. That would make IE pretty much the most powerful item in the game. ADCs snowball so strongly right now, so the last thing we need imo is buffs to IE.

No. Simple, flat, no. ADCs do not, under ANY circumstances, need buffs. IE is the deathcap for marksmen.

.... Im also hoping this is a troll thread.

Holy this is a bad troll, 30% AS and 30% Armor pen on a 70 AD 20% crit chance item, oh yeah and increase crit damage by 50%. This would be one item by the way.....

Probably should leave the balancing to Rito, lots and i mean LOTS of redundancies in this request

  1. IE is the staple adc item, buffing staple item can be compared to saying "hey lets give all adc's 100 more ad at level 1"
  2. most importantly ADC's are doing great atm with a select few being weaker early
  3. if you give an item meant to elevate a specific play style multiple play styles you make it not only a staple item for 1 class you make it a staple item for EVERY class that can use it. the biggest example is your making it fit assasins as well as bruisers.

so after all that you made it fit all ad types except ad tanks except all ad tanks are bruisers so they would build it in conjunction with black cleaver, congratulations you made a first build item for 64 champions.

even item 3504 didn't get built by that many champs
