I kinda like Triforce being this strong, it's a really good item now (I'm not sure if) it's still the most expensive item in the game after all it's "buffs" to the price but if it is that should be ok. I'd rather see them put it back to the old price then have Triforce go back to being "the bad Sheen upgrade"

edit: I was under the impression that IBG simply overwrites other types of sheens IBG>LB>Tri/SHeen thats what I've been told so I've never made both at once.

With the BT/LW walk around and never shoot EU style ADC you'd think more of them would be playing Ez/Corki. Instead they all keep deciding to do the no-damage build on like Cait and Varus, weirds me out.

The main target still gets hit by the corresponding single-target Sheen proc.

??? typical case of writing bullshit for the sake of saying bullshit, the Anti EU circlejerk has been strong the last few days.

BT/LW is a pushcentric build which allows for fast turret kills. It's also the highest dmg build for Varus and on Cait Peacemaker and Ace in the hole hurt like hell (it takes like 40% on a squishy by the typical 20min timing)

Doublelift proclaimed bt first on Cait as cancer and NA ADCs still get IE while the majority of EU&Koreans have switched to bt into lw/shiv >>> NA is da best.

Also as far as I'm concerned I haven't see any promatches since regionals (aka after triforce buff) so what makes you think that euros don't play ezreal/corki? (protip: ezreal was played a ton in EU Summer LCS)

I feel like if you assume that you have enough sustain already (from lifesteal quints and dorans), then even though BT will push towers down slightly faster than IE, IE+LW would be just way better than BT+LW, because any time you get in a fight IE+LW would do much more damage. Even on champs like Graves.

Just tested out IBG+Triforce in a bot game it appears to work exactly how I thought it did, in that the IBG simply overwrote the Triforce sheen. First and foremost the "easy" test if you shoot the buff that you get is the IBG buff, but the math test I autoed the Elder Lizard at level 15 with boots and those two items exactly. my median auto was 130, my median IBG shot was 265 on a 20 armor target, suggesting I was getting IBG damage and not triforce damage.

Not to mention the slow field worked as per usual so I'm not sure where that info came from.

tl;dr if you MUST get a slow get a mallet.

IE is the most expensive item 3628<3800.

Just drop the sheen to 175% and see how that works.

It's kinda funny how cheap TForce is now compared to what it used to cost.

The thing about Triforce now is the only way for it to be OP is it's timing, it's still not an ideal late game item, it's not bad, but in a perfect 6 item setup it will always be eclipsed, so if you put the cost back to it's old spot a bit, you fix the timing w/o making it even worse than it already is late game (not saying it's bad)

I'm still on a wait and see if it needs to be nerfed anyway (lets see how it plays out at worlds) it's without a doubt strong, but strong =/= bad.
