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.

Let's not forget Fratma's - Frozen Mallet + Atma's Impaler. Not only were you slowed, you were getting crit to death.

Indeed, however now most bruisers just grab a Shiv if they want to do that, adding in burst, MS, and more crit. If someone builds any form of Atmogs now they get kited to oblivion.

Also now we are talking 3 items consumed to deal, what is now, meh damage.
