Why are lethality items nerfed again?

They nerf the dmg on most of lethality items, remove out of combat movement speed, nerfing Duskblade passive, remove magic resist on EoN. WHY? Aren't assasins already quite weak? With and all heals and shields they already struggle to kill adc. I feel like only viable lethality user now is Kha and he's getting nerfed too. And what's up with giving HP on EoN? Another mandatory item on adc to help them survive?

It's not a nerf, it's a change. If it is a nerf they'll probably buff it again in the next patches.

A change is when you take something to give something else. This one is a nerf as it only removes stuff from items.

It are changes. It's not only nerfs. If you make a post about changes, make sure you know them well.

Add to your list:

item 3147 Passive deal less dmg, doesn't scale, out of combat movement speed removed, gives 10 less AD

item 3814 out of combat movement speed removed, Magic resist removed

item 3252 out of combat movement speed removed,

item 3134 out of combat movement speed removed,

item 3142 gives 5 less AD

So yeah, every one of them got something removed. Maybe next time you list a changes, list every change, not only ones that suit your opinion

Yes, they are removing things. But they're also adding things.
