Items Have Gone Off The Rails
I have a theory that, far more than any champion that exists (except Vayne, f*** her), Items are driving the insane ADC/Support heavy meta. It amazes me to watch people refernce old gameplay problems, who quite obviously did not live through them. Example: Atmogs.
Atma's Impaler: 45 armor 15% Critical Strike 1.5% of HP gained as AD http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Atma%27s_Impaler
You all know what Warmog's is.
That... that's it. In a game where bruisers and Juggarnauts are constantly being said to be highly under powered... you're afraid of Atmogs.
HAVE YOU SEEN SOME OF THE ITEMS RELEASED THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS?!
When Atmogs was a problem there was no Dominick's. There were very few items that provided critical strike. There were extremely few items that gave Movespeed outside of boots making it harder to evade bruisers.
Items now are so vastly beyond what items originally were that it is insane.
