As much as I hate to say it, the Quicksilver Sash change was really good in the grand scheme.

For those of you that don't know, Quicksilver sash was changed to only removing cc effects instead of ALL negative effects.

For the upcoming assassin update, Riot wants to extend the burst range of assassins. This means that they can do something like Zed's ult, dealing damage after a delayed time.

This means that the damage can still be prevented via shields and heals, but not disabled completely by Quicksilver sash.

I really hated this change when it came out because, like most people, I hate Zed and his ult.

But I have to admit, this change means we can have better and healthier assassins overall.

If I see an enemy Zed that's 26/5, I am building a thornmail if I ADC. I don't care how bad of an item it is, that thing has saved my life multiple times and even gave me enough survivability to dish out some decent damage. When the Assassin update comes out, I'm definitely making that a third or fourth item pick.

But why Thornmail?

Because he's midevil.

Did you mean "Medieval", or is "midevil" some phrase for an evil mid laner that I've never heard of?

Or were you trying to make a pun?

All of the above.

But why Thornmail?

Flat armor plus the passive return damage even if it's not much. I usually build a Bloodthirster on top of it for that bit of sustain.

item 3026 ?

Honestly, I hardly ever buy the item as most of the time there's three people sitting by my corpse waiting to murder me as my team is either just as dead or ran to safety.

Sure it works, but GA works better.

Well, stop getting caught out so bad then. Most of the time for me GA popped and i revived with enough health to take out 2 people before dying again, no more enemy ADC to push turrets...

Their mail scales with armor from my understanding, so it's passive is wasted.

I for one think it was an awful, stupid change

Wait can you explain why that was a good change? I thought it was a bad change because now no item counters zed. Before at least I knew okay zed is gonna ult me, i can qss this.

i cant remember the explanation they gave for the change but, ults like fiora,zed and trundle cant be cleansed anymore but skarner gets 100% negated on his ult. doesnt seem fair.

I really didn't like the change because riot didn't do anything to tone down his damage until a few patches after where he got his nerf but got a compensation buff

Am I the only one who never ever once ever saw someone buy was against zed and couldn't understand why people raged about that change?
