Better remove infinity edge, static shiv, bork, GA, deathcap, lich bane, sunfire cape, devourer enchant and ignite. Too op. Too core. Players buy them a lot, characters are designed around them. Give power spikes. Help characters with certain jobs do those jobs well. Better to have characters who are kinda ok at a few things instead of being actually good at one thing. Single target burst cannot exist, it's too broken it it does it's job in any way. Better remove every single damage-centric item in the game. Make kat's ult leave enemies at 1 hp so they never feel bad for dying to an assassin. Tank/rylai kat is the only way to go, you're only allowed to assassinate people if you're already fed even though you're not allowed to have a core damage item. Totally ok with there only being 2 major AP items in the entire game, making tons of characters way less useful and less fun to play, making some characters completely unviable, and reducing options for every magic damage character in the fucking game. GREAT IDEA.

This has a 0.0001% chance of going through. If they couldn't even make lee sin changes happen there is no fucking way the community will let this happen. Horrible, horrible idea unless they plan on giving us a completely new item in it's place. The old DFG rework into what it is now I understood, nerfing it maybe, but removing it entirely? Abosolutely retarded.

But ahri can 100-0 people with no skillshots? What kit are you looking at? (2 skillshots responsible for more than half her damage, character designed to be an assassin from the beginning. Weak, situational, no cc aoe damage compared to any actual AOE mage like kennen, annie, ziggs, morgana, orianna or even galio or AP chogath).

But characters are built around the item? Guess what, so is literally EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER IN THE GAME. It's called game design. Every character in the game is designed around what items can be put on them. They are designed specifically FOR items, even. Do you think it was sheer luck that FIzz has tons of synergy with lich bane? Was that just a random fluke and riot was like "well, we never saw that coming!". Infinity Edge gives a power spike literally several times that of DFG, but I don't see anyone going "it's too op, all marksmen are designed around it, i've wanted it gone since season 1, everyone should play support ashe instead!". This isn't even a metagame focused change, there is no overbearing wave of DFG rushing mid laners dominating high level play. In fact, very few popular mid laners right now even use DFG at all. This is just stupid and will hurt much more than help as well as piss off way more players than it makes happy.

Also AP tristana is complete garbage now.
