Besides being bad he also changed his mind apparently, because I remember in the patch preview of the V1.0.0.139 patch. That (I think, but fairly certain) Morello said something along the lines of "With these changes we want to make DFG into an alternative for Rabadon's on many casters". Obviously implying they wanted to make it a core item for many casters, at which they succeeded. Though they failed at making Rabadon's less popular, instead we see both items as core more often now.

And now he is coming back to that statement saying it's OP and toxic? Well maybe you shouldn't have made the V1.0.0.139 changes in the first place Morello...

And what DFG does will ALWAYS remain the same, bursting down squishy targets with it will ALWAYS work better than killing tanks with it because they have far less magic resistance than tanks. To make it effective against tanks it should scale off of how much mres someone has, not how much HP. Hitting Vayne for 800 damage hurts her a lot more than hitting a tank for 1400 that still has to go through 100+ mres and then runs into 4K HP...

But I guess no one at Riot ever came up with the idea to look at what an item needs to be a tank killer while leaving most squishy targets relatively unharmed...
