So uhm..... Trackers knife?
Why?
Why?
It was an outlier in power. There was no good way to fix that for the MMR it was a problem in so its gone. That's what the balance team should be doing. Target issues that stand out. RIP Trackers
This is pretty much it. My one concern with this is that it leaves us with only two choices for jungle items (not counting enchantments), and Riot's accidental leak of their singular, all-in-one Pathfinder's Knife suggests we might be dangerously close to having junglers get railroaded into a single build path in the game's early stages. I'm all for removing outliers in power and making the game more balanceable, but if we ever fall to just one jungle item, that should be a time for Riot to reexamine what they want to do with junglers, and how they should go about controlling their power at different stages of their game.
Riot balances game around LCS most of the time, and its abused in LCS.
Sad , but its how riot operates.
If something becomes a problem in any elo, then it gets nerfed. Tracker’s Knife became more and more mandatory the higher you went.
Because vision is capital OP. So wards got nerfed as has happened sometimes.
"Riot balances game around LCS most of the time,"
Oh, I wish that were more true. However, practice demonstrates it clearly is not.
