You were the one who comented on the dominance of ADC. I said that if you didnt want that, basic attacks scaling with AD would probably have to ''change. ''I even gave a suggestion of damage type separation for magical and physical in order to alleviate the over-reliance on AD for objective taking. I never suggested a straight nerf.

Again, Nida and Rek'Sai are top competetive because their core strength is still mostly untouched. Azir was another case of being at the top of mid lane competetive play, but being completely unsatisfying in almost every other ELO until they removed his ability to shred towers.

There's a major difference between getting a single defensive item and having damage oriented champions completely warped by defense. If anything, since the end of season 4, the option of getting a single defense item on a carry has been almost removed, since you lose a massive damage spike and your survivablity still remains almost non-existant. On the other hand after that, the rise of tank assassins has been systematic. Again, reliance on overbloated tank stats and a lack of situational passives. I find it amusing how alot of the Reddit base complains of how static LOL becomes with how it's itemization and champion pools work, but when these more situational things get introduced, they are dissmissed as "gimmicks"...people seem to forget DOTA2 has alot of that, and it works.
