Regardless of riots skill as a gamestudio such massive changes take time to be balanced out. The point is these items give them better tools in the future to balance the meta not to fix balancing right now. Literally playable. 6/10 had some fun.

Hah I appreciate people thinking we could nail the balance on the first real go, but more realistically it'll take some iterating from here. We are EXTREMELY ears-to-the-ground right now taking in all the data and feedback to iterate quickly on both the item system and individual champ/class balance. All the games you guys are playing and feedback you're giving is super helpful. In the meantime, enjoy the chaos!
