When the zeal items fall out of favor, ADCs will go back to spamming M.A.W. and Mercurial scimitar

Maw sucks. MercScem is a situational item.

Why would they spam them?

Zeal items are too core on marksmen, i doubt most of them could stop building them even if they want to,

Zeal items are an integral part of an ADCs kit they’ll never fall out of favour unless they’re given the most ridiculous nerfs.

I don't think Caitlin ashe sivirs xayah and so on would rather have maw and mercy scimitar then zeal items..

I think you're confusing Maw for the old version that gave armor pen. New Maw is garbage as an early item.

Those are defensive picks. Most games don't last long enough for people to even reach such picks anymore. On top of that most people can't itemize correctly.

Completed Maw kinda sucks. Scimitar is a situational item. Either way they'll lose a bunch of damage building either.

"Malmortius, if youre still out there, listening, I hate you. That name is so dumb." - Some Rioter, forget who.

you should probably always get a Mercurial Scimitar late game anyway, as for Maw I dont think it's a great option over... Right, Sterak's is melee only. Might start seeing some Trinity Lucians or just reverting to Lethality, but thats only going to happen if Zeal goes from 1200 -> 1500g and combine costs go from 650-900G on Zeal upgrades. As long as Zeal remains cheap, it will be the best item to rush. Even if they weaken Shiv's single-target damage

Scimitar isn't an uncommon buy, just the game usually doesn't reach that point but QSS is bought a lot.

As an MF main, I rarely ever finish my Zeal Item. AD and the occasional Black Cleaver feel too good.

My point is different ADC are different, so try to generalize less and talk more specifically about the ADC you feel are abusing multiple zeal items.

which are worse than zeal itemS in therm of power?

And they will still deal ridiculous damage.

"After these pure offense items get nerfed, adcs will start using these situational defensive items instead."

There should be an award for being this wrong.

Sad.

If Zeal items DO fall out of favor, then would hit garbage tier in a heartbeat.

Then again, it's Yasuo. So, people would rather see him in the gutter than anywhere else.

And people will still complain about adcs then being unburstable.
