QSS is just a tad broken

Quicksilver sash has become such a pain in the butt. it makes champions like jax and yi almost unstoppable. Considering how hard it is to take them down already if you do not have heavy cc on your team this item pretty much activates god mode on them. It is pretty crazy, when your in lane against a jax and the only way you have to stand against him is a fear, stun or slow, you are pretty much screwed the second he gets the item not only does it remove all debuffs and crowd control effects it also gives a 50% speed boost, I mean this thing can even completely remove zeds ult that is just a tad broken don't ya think?

Agree. And it's cost 1200g. It's more broken on late game adcs however who can just get it and they are safety after it. The power level of this item should stay but the price need to be incrase. So you sacrifise serious damage for utility. Adc mains will downvote you quickly.

Except you're paying 1200g for an active only.

The MR is abysmal.

And no, stop making it seem like ADC mains are irrational.

QSS isn't broken

ADC mains not irrational but they complain the most and downvote instantly when some1 saying their items maybe a little bit too strong. (not all ofc). The active off QSS is a very powerful effect and fuck up a lot of champs meanwhile very cheap. You can agree with it. Even QT on his stream (who is a respected adc) said qss is very cheap and powerful. Incrase it's cost and mr a little would be a fair deal to anyone. And it wouldn't be a real nerf what is unnecessary.

Jax is not a great laner, also who rushes QSS ? Jax gets Trinity, Bork or Hextech, then tank items, not QSS; Hexdrinker is better rush items for him too than QSS, because of his ult active.

QSS being good on those 2 champions is more a result of them doing well to begin with and any reasonable purchase helping them out.

With a 90 second CD it's hardly the CC trump-card you're making it out to be. That's ult-level CD times, not so much QWE CC.

Also: QSS is a bit of a sacrifice in core-build power for pretty much anyone, and is more something you'd get if it can make a really big impact.

It's important to note with item costs a typical game is only going to give 11,000 gold per player - which is 3 major 3k items, 1k for boots, and 1k in the bank when someone's Nexus explodes. Or 1 major 3k item for early, mid, and late game. While QSS is certainly cheap enough to add into a build when warranted, even a 1250 item can really set you back.

Finally: it's worth noting most CC heavy/CC is their shtick champions apply CC in such a way QSS is useless vs. it. QSS cannot do anything vs. pulls, flings, knockbacks, or knock-ups. QSS also cannot remove terrain-based CC like Glacial Storm, Mega-Adhesive, Gravity Field, Iceborne Gauntlet, or a myriad of other slowing fields. And QSS can't do anything vs. sudo-CC tera-forming effects like the walls of Anivia, Azir, J4, or Trundle.

Vs. an Alistar it's 100% useless, vs. J4 it's 100% useless, vs. a Blitzcrank all you can remove is a 0.5 second silence.

Not sure I'd call QSS a tad bit broken.
