Armor too strong -> nerfed -> revamped penetration and black cleaver -> too strong -> nerfed -> health stacking -> too strong -> nerfed

do you get it yet???

They do have a tactical advantage. If you're giving them all that time to heal while you have improved movement speed and don't take advantage of their turtling, the fault lies on you, not some 35 gold item.

Im sorry but thats bull. Do you know how BORING it was that EVERYONE was forced to start boots +3? There was no form of counterplay AT ALL in buying your starting items. Going against someone whos going to be doing a lot of burst to you? better buy boots three. Going to be trying to win all-in fights top lane? better get boots three.

ps: better nerf irelia.

Self-made counter argument: well then dont do an all-in fight!

rebuttal: sometimes you cant change the fact that you get ganked.
It is very difficult to burst someone down through potions unless they commit during the early game, making the health regen offered by potions "nearly" as good as actual HP.

If you get insta beaten by 9 pots idk what to say. Different starts are for different times, what the **** is wrong with variety.

why not think of a way to counter those 9 pots instead of complaining? Why arent you going 9 pots if they are? The best thing about most strategies is you can adapt them for yourself.

Get a red elixer and all in your opponent early if farming is really that boring for you.

1. If you can sustain that, you're either katarina or running a bunch of potions yourself.
2. Potions heal 150 health. Most mages need a 2-hit combo to deal 150 damage at early levels, + an AA probably.
