@Riot don't remove atma's, change it

I think they should have just increased the cost and made it a late game item like it's intended to be. A 2k gold item that scales well into late is too good to be true. Make it cost around 3k gold and give it a true niche. I don't understand how this is a problem.

Currently there is no AD-Armor item niche outside of Atmas while there is a great AP-Armor item(Zhonyas). I guess they fear AD bruisers?

The big problem with it is that if it became good enough, ADCs would get it and whichever one got the combined offense and targeted defense against the other ADC first would usually have a larger than average advantage.

Or just leave Atma's alone? it's not like the crit chance makes the item murderous. It just gives tanks the ability to crit. Their damage is USUALLY low anyway. I think they found that on a tank this is adding like 50 AD and then a 15% crit chance which is a significant increase in damage output on a role that classically does not deal much damage.

atams would be a good item if scaled with 2.5% max health ad.

this would give reason to build warmogs again also.

it atleast needs more armor or to give about 15 flat ad with the current health scalings, its just kinda sad atm on most champions.
