Why did riot remove the AP from FG, wtf?

What's the reasoning behind that move?

That worked good for hybrid AP champs. I used to build that on gragas, phoenix udyr, blitzcrank, alistar.

The hybrid AP combo used to be Frozen Gauntlet + Liandrys. (I saw Karma's that would destroy with that combo)

I don't even use gragas anymore because of it.

Riot had to find multiple ways to nerf AP champs while buffing AD champs to fit along with their most recent patch

It supposedly made it more appealing to buy.

I don't know, most of the champs I play would rather have triforce or frozen heart.

Tanks supposedly.

Or juggernauts.

I honestly don't understand half their design decisions.

Now if its spellblade also had a 2.0 base AD proc like trinity force mwahahahahaha.

I guess, I just dont quite get how making an item worse would appeal to anybody. We dont need more ad items for fuck sake. This game is going full AD as it is

Well considering the size of the aoe scales off of armor, I guess they wanted it to be a tank item.

20% cdr made it better for a niche few champions.

They took off Ap from sheen giving it CDR

Those who built it didn't need much in the way of AP, and it was barely built in the first place.

They moved the gold sink from the AP to CDR. Makes it a comparably more offensive build path that can compete with Frozen Heart.

I forgot about malphite, nunu, sona, all used to do great with it too
