Gunblade is OP

[Eternal]

Nerf Train. Kayle -> Jax -> Morde -> now Akali ----> Poppy??

[Tardar]

Doubtfully. Poppy needs a Trinity (or at least a Sheen) before she's even bursty bursty. If you build her AD, then really Gunblade isn't smart for you.

And then with the others, it's only on Dominion that you see it being a huge issue. Kayle was nerfed to the ground, few people play Jax "competitively," and there are better choices than Akali (especially since she doesn't even fit the meta).

Trininty + Gunblade Poppy is the strongest thing on earth. Those are her two core items.

gunblade is somewhat ridiculous
ever tried stacking it? even then its worth it, if your snowballing

now try to farm that in 5v5 on her

Only seen this popping out on Dominion.

Dual Gunblades on Pantheon was viable in Crystal Scar due to its stacking LIFESTEAL on hit and on skill hit.

Basically cool, dunno about the nerfing it on the future since it can be used at Summoners Rift. So let's wait till Riot does something about this newfound monstrosity.

Exactly my point. Gunblade is a great item, but it's definitely not the first item anyone should be getting unless you're possibly Jax or Kayle (though I prefer Rageblade first). And as said earlier, it's only amazing on Dominion because of the insane gold generation so you can buy items faster.

Well, the solution they had for some other items was to make them unavailable in Crystal Scar and make a nerfed Crystal Scar version.

That'd be fine with me since it'd probably reduce how faceroll Jax is.

They should ban akali not gunblade LOL!! Gunblad was a little powerful though.. that's a nice nerf. However, akali keeps broken (SPAM Q with 3 sec only) deals 500 damage with sheen GG;

Build MR, Exhaust, Ignite, don't fight in her Shroud, Flash over Ghost as an escape.
Akali is so easy to counter. If you whine about her, that's just sad.

The Hextech nerf was necessary, it stops stacking them on Dominion (was was becoming popular on Jax). Also, it's a great item anyways. Try a Hextech WW on Dominion. Your sustain and ability to duel with just a Kitae's, Visage, and Hextech is great.

LOL!
Yes, she is easy to counter.
However, her q is still broken.. it deals too much damage specially after they buffer her ult (jump - auto attack)..
Play her in a 3x3 and that's an instant win if you are good!
Easy to counter just like tryn and? lol

Let's supose its a 1x1 (exhaust ignite flash over ghost)
Choose 2, You cant have 4 spells

LeBlanc's Q is the exact same concept, therefore LeBlanc is the most OP-shit champion in the game right now as well.

If she was so great in 3v3, she'd be everywhere in Twisted Treeline (but she's not afaik).

And Tryn is easy and binary. Thornmail for some reflection. Wards. Exhaust. Don't be an idiot and stand in front of your tower being one-hit away from death once both level 6.

I always take one offensive and one defense so, I think I shall take Exhaust/Flash.
Also, WW with Hextech, Kitae's, and Visage can take down an Akali with Rylai's and two Hextech's easily. So very easily. People just need to put on their thinking caps instead of running in like they have too many chromosomes or something.
