Damage has gotten ridiculously high in this game. Zed, Rengar, Fizz, etc. are blowing shit up left and right. I just watched a stream where a level 13 Graves's auto-attack crit for 600. Tryndamere is coming back because he can survive 5 seconds longer than anyone else.
League's gone crazy.

They might be suffering from nerfs to tank items, but I think the problem is a little different. Specifically, I think the problem is twofold:
