ok guys, hear me out http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/features/coming-preseason-runes-reforged

shows a few of the new runes coming out in a somewhat short time

While I don't like the idea of Berserker teemo cheese I'm more horrified at this one

[> Overcharger > +1% CDR per level, up to +10% CDR at level 10. Each percent of excess CDR is converted to +2 Ability Power or +1.4 Attack Damage, Adaptive. >

So let's do some math here

any numbers next to an item is not combined with that items base stats, but is what is potentially added by the CDR overflow item 3147 item 3142 item 3812 item 3156 item 3133 item 3158 14 possible ad

item 3025 item 3071 item 3078 28 possible ad item 3508 42 possible ad

so we just gotta reach cap? ok lets imagine any champion with a decent attack speed buff or animation cancel, or anyone who relies on hybrid ability casting and damage

we could use Jayce Jhin Lucian Riven Garen for some examples, although there are so many, and this is just the ad side of things

item 3042 item 3508 item 3046 item 3071 item 3025 item 3158

ok, so that's like.. not really that bad on say... Jhin but don't let it near Graves or Jinx yeah you're probably laughing at me for saying item 3025 Jinx , but you're forgetting... she could grab item 3085 instead of item 3046 and use the new berserker for 60% increase

at that rate Jhin Is certainly scary

I'm not plat, I wont make the next "holy shit damage" build, but someone out there will do ten times what I've come up with in ten minutes of theorycrafting, and someone else will put it on just the wrong champ... maybe Lucian

and I mean... there's always the legendary abuser of every item change Ezreal this rune, while designed to be adaptable, is actually a massive liability for CDR champs because of its inherent buffs to CDR items, riot will be forced to nerf these items, or nerf the entire ad caster roster, plus a large chunk of the ap roster
