I just don't know how I feel about the whole "it is not what it looks like" thing. It started with Ashe, where crits are not crits any more, but she always crits but only damages for crit chance. So that is where crit chance started not being crit chance. I don't like the idea of stats not doing what the stats say.

I understand that it is kind of complex to come up with new champions that feel "diverse", given that there is only a finite number of spell types you can combine. But in the end, when diversity is created by messing around with the stats, and health gives armor, armor gives magic penetration, magic penetration gives mana regen, and mana regen gives attack speed, and so on, it's come to a point where you can skip itemization balancing altogether.
