Why does Statikk do magic damage?

does magic damage that can crit. Why are we giving ADCs free hybrid damage that scales with AD build paths?

I cannot for the life of me figure out why it has magic damage that crits. It's becomes more of a problem on champs like vayne who now deal AD, AP, and true damage. Isn't that the reason the damage on Irelia's E got nerfs? Why is it acceptable ranged champs then? There is very little risk to using it.

Change Shiv to do AD damage so we can counterbuild properly. Or at least remove the crit mechanic.

Irelia's E got nerfed because it had 320 originally, then 280 base damage.

Mixed damage was never the issue with Irelia. It was all of the free damage/scaling in her kit.

It's so you can't build one resistance type and completely counter most of a class. ADCs are the only class in the game that all uniformly deal mostly AD (Except Corki and Vayne to a lesser degree). It's not fair that you can just stack armor and counter their whole class every game. This adds in a little extra damage of a different type.

It's not fair to stack armor? How is it fair to build a item 3036 to nullify multiple items worth of stats then?

because the item does lighting attacks. otherwise it would be useless. You can't be spoon fed everything in game m8, work around it. As for Vayne, she is a slayer.

Who cares if it's lightning? Real world logic has absolutely no place in the balance of a game lol. Why does Jayce shooting a ball of energy at you do physical damage then?

well then, Who cares if its mixed damage? changing it to ad so you don't have to build ap armor is not reason to change it.

The damage type is a gameplay issue. I just explained that to you

For who? I have used shiv a million times over and never once has it made my game play op.

Because, even with an Infinity Edge, it will deal at most 300 damage (with the base MR from melee champions, it goes down to 200 damage). If you make it deal Physical Damage (seriously, calling it AD Damage sounds as dumb as saying that you should build AP Armor), you will be further increasing it's effectiveness in an AD build, as it will now scale with Lethality and Armor Shred. Since in a game you will want to have both Armor and MR, this lessens a bit the possible burst from an ADC in most scenarios.
