Conqueror has successfully given Fighter/Bruiser type champions a way to win lane in Tank match-ups. However, it has also given too much power to these champions in team fights. This has created a situation where both Tank and ADC players feel that they don't serve a very useful purpose in the current meta. The source of the problem is this: "Melee champions refresh the bonus damage duration by triggering combat effects against enemy champions."
you litererally have twice as much AD and 60-100% crit on almost every adc, which means you literally have 12-20% true damage 100% of the time from the start of mid game
The potentially unlimited duration of conqueror's true damage effect has two major consequences:
Yes in the perfect situation this rune will keep staying up, all through the four seconds that most team fights last when either the damage creep 1shots team A or the mobility creep of team B creates a disengage scenario
- It makes Tanks way too easy to kill in team fights.
It makes tanks way too easy to kill in team fights by a class of champions that is meant to kill tanks
- It makes the job of the ADC obsolete.
The what?
It has traditionally been the job of the ADC to shred the enemy front-line in team fights. The unlimited duration of the true damage effect of conqueror has created a situation where Bruiser type champions can do the ADC's job better than they can. Putting a set duration on the true damage effect of conqueror would maintain it's effectiveness as a trading tool during lane while taking away some of it's team-fighting power, thus breathing life back into the Tank class and giving ADC players a more useful purpose.
So only adcs can do that too
We should just throw AD and Crit for ranged champions only on every item at this point, because adcs literally want the world
fuck it why have any other champs? just remove everything in favor of adcs right?
you get every meta, every fucking amtch I have to see two adcs, like NO OTHER CLASS
But now you're infesting my jungle too, so sometimes I see three or four of them
and clearly it's heimerdinger and irelia that are the issue
Dude if something with conqueror is killing you then you fucked up or your top laner fucked up and he fed a top laner, which means that, like with the old runes, that top laner will run the show until late game when you adcs just get handed the game regardless of how well you do with the only limitation on you being how well the enemy adc is doing
