Why hasnt Trinity Force been nerfed?

Trinity force makes half the champion in the game into mid game gods. The power spike from building solely Trinity Force in the mid game is far too egregious. It needs to be taken down a notch. Exempli gratia: Irelia, Jax, Xinzhao, Udyr. They all become unstoppable rape trains in the mid game if they simply rush this item. In addition, the item is good enough to keep the snowball rolling into the late game, allowing the champions who capitalize off its power spike to go on to build all tank and still have quite good sustained damage. In my opinion, this item needs to cost more or have its stats reduced.

Half the champ pool huh. Name all ~60 champs that triforce turn into mid game Gods.

It's already hard to build it though unless you rushed it, reached late super late game or got a Massive lead over the enemy which ofc he should be rewarded for it.

I am not entirely into the idea that Trinity Force is OP personally.

I agree with OP, probably making me the minority on this one,

however rushing the TF is the best part. If you look at my recent kat games, I've won a couple even building 2-3 TF.

The TF passives are all you need to keep in mind to correctly rush it. Take the phage first, if the goal is to farm it, the sheen first if the goal is to get kills for it. The Zeal has it's own spot between them, helping you do both slightly better.

Just because I agree that it is OP, doesn't mean it will be nerfed.

If you look the previous items building into TF have been nerfed, why would they nerf TF

It's expensive, and as great as it is early, it doesn't scale all that well into endgame. I think it's fine.

Pretty sure it's already the most expensive item in the game. The champs you listed are already incredibly powerful, Trinity force simply aids their dueling potential. It's in a balanced spot, just leave it be.
