Remember when they removed attack speed from Youmuus?

Patch 6.22:

The base stats attached to Youmuu’s Ghostblade were a bit of a grab-bag for physical damage, making it useful for basically every AD-focused champion. Most of its unintended users benefit too much from the active’s attack speed, so we’re removing it.

ATTACK SPEED IS NOT AN ASSASSIN STAT!

Why is Sanguine blade giving LIFESTEAL AND ATTACK SPEED.

You removed ZZroot and banner of command and deemed them as unhealthy for the game. Yet you are making assassins the split pushing classes?

Who can deal with a split pusher that will one shot you with 2.5 attack speed and 500 AD? on top of 80 Lethality?

Easy solution:

Another broken split pusher with Sanguine blade.

Can't deal with Tryndamere? Just Send Nocturne with sanguine blade.

Because AD assassins weren't overloaded enough.

'assasins dont get to kill ADC's because of BrUiSeR's...'

meanwhile: Vlad is single-handedly killing your entire team solo, and flash E -> Q's to kill your carry....

I'll focus on things I enjoy for the moment, like the new support items but I agree, I don't like the item and I hope it sees nerfs soon. On the other hand it makes me want to play top cuz split pushing should be viable using that item.

ATTACK SPEED IS NOT AN ASSASSIN STAT!

What about Zed who used to build BORK first item for years? The reason attack speed was removed from yoummous is because ADC was abusing the item, not because attack speed is not an assassin stat

Because apparently they wanted to let assasin's split push faster without any enemies being there to actually defend structures and gain bonus AS on the first place?

This simply looks like a Bruiser 1st item cashgrab with lethality slapped on it just to make sure the enemy top laner stays behind permanently.

At least Triforce was raw AD, jeez.

The AS wasnt removed because of assassins, it was removed because of ADCs. It wasnt really an "assassin item" at the time.

This is what they want all pro league to be like this season.

This item is WAY too OP on tryn and nocturn. Both are JG or split pushers so they can use it alot, and with noc W you can nearly hit the AS speed Cap with just this item and berserker grieves.

I might try it out on sejuani since it sounds really really OP with her frost. Kayle as well.

Uhhh. It was nerfed because ADCs were abusing it not assassins.
