“Pyke - Looking at whether AD purchases are appropriately rewarded, or whether he's too skewed towards building tank/utility when played optimally (open question, not a firm statement)” Just gonna note that several days ago I said Pyke’s optimal build was tank and got a lot of (good natured) grief for it. Well now Rito is catching up to what was obvious to me after a few ARAM games. Not really that practical use to this remark, but half the fun of sticking your neck out with whacky opinions is getting to say “I told you so” on the occasions you turn out to be right. So consider it said.  | ||

While banner was an option, Zzrot was outclassed so there wasn’t much reason to build it. Once banner is gone, ZZrot is no longer completely outclassed so it gets compared to just not building an item. Sucks as a pushing item after the change. All it does it reverse the minion push and then is useless. Almost never is actually useful in pushing a tower down by itself because of its range. | ||

I’d like to see how this plays out, and I also think a lot of posturing is going on. They should at the very least make zeal items cheaper and give 25% crit. You can't nerf the base stats of champions and make their items bad in the same patch. | ||

"job well done boys" They've been trying to remove the "you have to have an ADC" thing for a while now. Morde rework being the first obvious move towards this. They basically said, "yeah we want IE ADCs to be an option but not be mandatory." The issue is in my opinion, the only time morde was actually viable is when his numbers were disgustingly broken, and now when IE ADCs (With some exceptions) are completely useless in early/mid game. Basically, the game has to be designed explicitly to allow them to be played. Depends on your opinion on balance of changing the game so radically 7+ years into this meta that ADC players have become accustomed to it. Now with this change, maybe we have a shift in player base, where ADCs go play other roles (Kindred buffs could bring them back to the jg meta for e.g) and bruiser players move to bot lane. Basically, this is a Huni buff. Top lane is the AD role now  | ||

Like last year when Varus/Jihn were shitting on people yet ADCs whined so hard that they were irrelevant. All champs that don't focus on crit are fine. The only thing that is still kind of a problem for bruisers bot is junglers doing lvl 2 ganks. Because crab is a thing sadly. Ad+support is still the superior 2v2. | ||

Top lane is the AD role now well im an ex dota player so i dont care about lane assignments. dota has it right where lane positions/roles etc are very fluid. the only issue with lol is that no adc at bot lane usually means adcs are just shit in general and cant go to any lane. this is a balance failure rather than success | ||
