Infinity Edge is so dumb.

You rush it and then one crit decides fights. It doesn't even matter who you're playing. There's no build diversity now.

Was there build diversity before? In my experience ADC has always been one build to rule them all with a small number of outliers.

Yeah, I'm sure no one will force you to buy an IE ever...

-20 minutes into the game some nerd checks your items-

"U FUKER BUY IE NOW ORE I RPORT U"

It seems most of the champions you play are Marksman. You don't have to build Infinity Edge you know. You can create your own build lol. Right now to me it seems a bit hypocritical that you are complaining, but still building it. No one is forcing you to build it, you can build other things and still be powerful.

The fact that it is insanely powerful tends to force people to build it if they want to win.

There are definitely other ways to win a fight, yes it seems to be a staple in most builds, but you don't have to build it.

In silver maybe, but in any decent rating if you don't go IE first you're going to lose every single trade unless you're like 4 kills ahead already in which case you're winning despite not having IE, not because of it. There are champions where you might want to rush Trinity or botrk, but those are exceptions. There's a good reason why most pros and high elo players rush IE, it's the best ADC item right now.

I always rush IE first. All I said was there are other things you can do, I always rush IE, but yet again, I'm not the one complaining about IE in the first place.

Without AS or even more AD IE is insanely useless. I once first itemed item 3031 on Yasuo and Vayne, failed extremely hard. It's a mid game item and is really expensive.

For something expensive you should get something powerful, not down right garbage. So IE is really worth it's price, and is perfectly balanced atm.

Yeah how could critting for half somebody's health at 15-20 minutes be good? Better not rush it.

Are you kidding? IE is rushed a lot because of how good it is on its own.

Sometimes I do other builds but in my experience IE rush is just far superior. I am very open to experimentation and I can tell which things give me the best results.

LOL 50% of someones health? I think you completely over exaggerate, or you're vs. players who build no armor or HP.

IE has 25% Critical Chance and 80 Damage, all for the price of 3800. If you first item this, you're putting yourself greatly behind.

Problem with ADC is it's very cut and dry. One build will always be superior (or so it seems). Even if one build is .5% stronger than all others... It will still be stronger and "the only" build you can do. All other roles can have somewhat different strengths and bring utility, CC, etc. to the table. ADC role cannot do this for the most part (those with utility tend to be outperformed by the pure damage champions).

That's the nature of the ADC. Riot might try to change it up in S5 but maybe not.

Riot reworked BT because it was the rush item for all ADC...

How will IE be reworked I wonder?
