** 1st part**

item 3085( item 3046/item 3087 ) item 3031 80% crit chance, +85% attack speed, +70AD, +12% movement speed, ignore unit collision, 3 extremely powerful Unique passives


** 2nd part**

Which turns the safest ADC's into hyper-carries

Caitlyn Jhin Twitch are the current 3 'God Tier' ADC's. They are extremely strong from itemization and their current balance state,** IN ADDITION** to the fact those 3 champions hard-counter the rest of the ADC pool with a couple situational exceptions.

  • safe
  • deal shit loads of damage

What more could you want from an ADC?

Why play Ashe when I could play Twitch instead? Twitch's dmg and safety > Ashe's ult. A shit-ton of champs can have a stun; no other champion else can do the damage he does while being completely safe.

Why pick Tristana when you could pick Jinx ?

Why pickVarus when you could pick Jhin ?

Why pick Ezreal when you could pick Caitlyn ?

There's obviously differences between these champions. Ezreal is moderately safer than Cait, but Cait outweighs his damage by 3x.

I personally love playing Draven Ashe MissFortune Tristana Lucian Sivir , but there's no point to play them if I'm at a disadvantage just by picking them.

Ashe 's slow is awesome, but why slow them when you could just kill them with Twitch ?

Remove crit on item 3085 , make item 3087 passive do half damage for ranged while leaving item 3094 as the alternative. item 3046 unique passive (12% reduced damage) should be for Melee-only, maybe add another passive for Ranged-Only. ADC's aren't duelists and really shouldn't have such a thing. Another option for item 3046 is to reduce Crit by 5% and/or attack speed by 10%.

The problem with nerfing crit itemization is that it effects champions that don't need any nerfs.

item 3087 in particular, isn't even that good right now, yet some marksmen like Quinn depend on it. That kind of change would put her in a worse state than she's currently in. Even Yasuo barely builds Shiv right now. That nerf would be dumb. I do agree that Runaan's needs nerfs though, but not right now.

Most of the popular marksmen are getting by thanks to their utility and/or true damage, while all of the others are struggling.
