The proposed nerfs to Cloak of Agility is -5% crit chance (25% > 20%). This is probably due to the rise of cloak stacking on marksmen like Caitlyn and Jhin.

Instead of a heavy handed nerf (even further after build path was nerfed by removing Brawler's glove), I propose that the last 5% of crit chance should be added on as a passive.

Cloak of Agility

  • 20% Crit Chance
  • Passive: 5% Crit Chance

This way cloak stacking becomes less viable as

  • 1 cloak = 25%
  • 2 cloaks = 45% (vs. 50% live)
  • 3 cloaks = 65% (vs. 75% live)

** edit: some have suggested just making the entire thing a passive, but I wanted to keep stacking a viable strategy for marksmen players who choose to forego a better mid-late for early

Generally speaking, we try to avoid having "UNIQUE Passives" on components (at the primitive stat level; eg. long sword, mana crystal, pickaxe, etc.), mainly due to the complexity that bubbles up into the items that build out of them.
