How do people feel about it's removal and replacement with Zeke’s Herald? On one hand, I'm glad supports have the option to increase AD damage now. On the other, I'm really upset about the -20 armor being taken away.

In fact that's the thing that really makes me mad. How can they take away one of the only 2 armor reduction items without adding a new one? That and the cdr made me feel like riot is trying to nerf ranged AD. But... then, what is the point? It's not like ranged AD is particularly strong.

I suppose one could make the argument that ranged AD can use CDR too, but have you ever seen a ranged AD go for that instead of raw damage? The reason ranged AD even exists is because you can position yourself to auto (the turret, the enemy, a key position) without being hit by the enemy. With all the gap closers and burst, battles are decided in almost seconds now. What's the point of making encounters even more skewed towards burst.

Meh doubt the change will have a huge impact, but I don't like the direction that the game is headed.
