> SIZE RATIO 0.45 bonus armor ⇒ 0.55 bonus armor > BASE SIZE 190 ⇒ 180

What's the amount of Bonus Armor needed to reach the break-even point where the size is the same as previously? I used to rush IBG as a first item on Sion/Poppy/Illaoi, but since it has now been noticeably nerfed if you don't have enough Bonus Armor, maybe I'll change my build orders...

100 bonus armor the nerf will break even. With item 3025 giving 65 that'll mean you'll need one more armor item to break even.

that doesnt sound like much of a nerf tbh. i dont know how blue ezreal is less terrible with this.

why dont they just change it to interact differently with ranged auto attacks, or not at all?

either way, 6 armor item malphite will now even be more hilarious with this.

Because they just gutted Ezreal to the point where blue ez is the only route he can take. 40s added on his ult is a huge nerf if you aren't running blue Ez

Pretty sure it used to be/still is half size for ranged champions. Ez can just spam so easily so you can barely tell

It already has half the AoE on ranged champions / shapeshifters in ranged form. The slow not persisting after leaving the area is the big change.

So basically now it'll do an initial AoE slow for everyone in that area, but not stay on the ground?

No, it is on the ground but you stop being slowed when you leave the area.

That makes more sense. That'll really help with blue ez
