Rabadons needs a rework

Price Reduction: 3800g ----------> 2900

AP: 120AP ----------------> 100AP

Passive: 35% ----------------------> 20%

Riot were trying so hard During the past year to balance AP Champions around this item, when they should have been trying to balance the item out itself. Its not healthy for an item to provide you with so much AP, and cost a shit ton of gold too. Why? because it forces AP Champs to build it. If they dont build it, they get outscaled. If they do build it, They're wasting almost 4k on an item that provides them with nothing but pure AP. Champions like are forced between buying a 4k item that gives them no resistance, or not buying it yet being outscaled by literally everything.

Solution? Rework Rabadons, Heck even removing it works, and buff Champion's Scalings slighty

The problem is, Riot have been balancing AP champs around rabadons, to the point where You have to choose between saving 4k gold, or getting outscaled. We're in a meta where if you don't build rabadons, you get outscaled. If you do get, You've just wasted 4k on pure AP.

Lets use diana as an example, Because I've mained her since Pre-season 6. Lets say a diana built item 3027 item 3020 item 3115 item 3157 item 3135 , and is about to build her 6th item. She can either buy an item she can actually make use of, like protobelt, at the price of getting outscaled quickly, because of the fact that AP champs revolve around rabadons. If she DOES build it, she just wasted 4k on Pure AP, which is way more than she needs.

So, not buying rabadons is bad because you get outscaled, but if you do it's also bad. I really don't understand your logic.

did you read what i said at all? i said its bad for champs who dont benifit from pure ap, especially at 4k gold, but if they build another ap item thats not rabadons, they get outscaled way too hard. riot are forcing ap to build rabadons
