Blade of the ruined king and adc state
Riot said that
might be overtuned, i think it is not and the real problem is that other ad items such as
are undertuned in early game. Before flaming me read everything please.
The real problem in ad items, especially the crit ones is that by having only 1 item you are useless either it being an
.
To deal damage with aa 3 things are needed
- AD as a stat
- Attack speed (to be able to shoot more aa)
- Crit chance (to crit). To deal damage with abilities 3 things are needed
- Ap as a stat
- Cooldown reduction (to be able to shoot more spells)
- Mana regen (to help spamming)
- Mana To tank 3 things are needed
- Hp
- Armor
- Magic resist (reasons for these 3 are very obvious) Now let's go into item details. For ADC or AA based champion the possible first item are
(3600 gold) very expensive and only gives ad and crit chance so you will not be able to do a lot of damage due to lack of as
(2600 gold) cheap but gives 0 ad thus abilities and aa will not hurt too much even when they crit.
(3300 gold) not too expensive but not cheap either, a bit of lifesteal to have sustain in lane phase a bit of as and ad which result being the most effective.
For mages and ability reliant champs
(2900 gold) borderline with being cheap, gives ap mana cooldown reduction and mana regen, basically everything needed in a 2900 gold item plus just by making
in lane phase it's easy to not run out of mana and deal damage too for a 900 gold item.- Situationally can start with
(2750 gold) cheap item that gives cooldown reduction ap and magic resist
For tanks
1.Standard start
(2900 gold) borderline with being cheap, gives hp armor and waveclear with passive
2.Situationally
(2800 gold) a cheap item gives hp magic resist cooldown reduction and hp regen
The only class that lacked an item to be somehow relevant before having at least 2 full items and boots was adc
just solved the problem, it is not op or anything like that, of course it is better than
because those are situational and more of a defensive option.
Consider not nerfing bork as it finally made adc a nice role to play again with a bit of diversity and some fun as you do not get 1 v 1 by anyone support included anymore.
