This isn't surprising. An increase to this was announced like last week, if not before then when they announced all the ADC itemization changes.

it was 2800 gold last time it was on pbe

this time they increased it more ending up being a 1200 gold increase with LDR and IE

no reason to take that anymore over BORK(which is getting a buff) adcs

Except some ADCs will still prefer crit over on-hit builds. That said, the Zeal items have been grossly undercosted for a very long time for the spike in damage that they offer.

Does that mean botlane will stop having the majority of impact? cause tbh that is all that matters.

It'll still be most viable to camp them out of every lane, since apparently in testing camping botlane makes the enemy ADC completely useless, essentially turning the match into a 4v5, rather than making your ADC OP.

No, this means that crit adcs will be trash while Ezreal KogMaw Varus Kaisa will be the strongest adcs and maybe also Jhin MissFortune with lethality. (and maybe Kalista can reach 46% winrate LUL)

There will be literally no reason to play crit over on hit adcs, I also expect Ashe to go on hit since she even loses E.Reaver + crit being too expensive. And Vayne probably will go back to Botrk first iteam and then Guinsoo.

If Kalista will get more than 46% winrate you will see 100% a nerf because why not

the reason kalista is nerfed everytime she's viable is because of pro

I replied to the wrong person. I meant to reply to the guy saying ''There will be literally no reason to play crit over on hit adcs, I also expect Ashe to go on hit since she even loses E.Reaver + crit being too expensive. And Vayne probably will go back to Botrk first iteam and then Guinsoo.''

That's because adc's don't usually buy it.

Ashe Caitlyn Draven Jinx Kalista Tristana Twitch Yasuo Xayah Tryndamere are dead come 8.11

Ezreal has his tear builds. Vayne Varus KogMaw Kaisa have item 3124 and/or item 3153 builds they can use.

Jhin MissFortune Lucian can use lethality.

I don't see how Ashe can possibly make an on hit build work.
She doesn't have any on hit effects in her kit to make use of Guinsoo's Phantom Passive.

Unless you mean a build like the old "Korean build" that existed in S6/7. item 3153 item 3085 item 3071

Vayne is most likely going to be using item 3153 item 3124 item 3046 as her 3 item core.

Varus and Kog will still build what they do on live right now, They aren't really crit users.

Kai'Sa I'm not sure about.

Ezreal will still use his tear build.

MF, Lucian and Jhin can use Lethality. Maybe Draven can also.

Why not just remove Crit from the game? I'm serious and I have ideas but I'm sure if I posted them it'd get downvoted.

Edit; lol, see what I mean.

They also reduced the amount of crit that Zeal itself provides if I recall.
