The latest league patch added more damage to the game and now adcs are one-shotting assassins. The balance changes are actually just stupid at the point every patch adds more damage into the game #leagueoflegends

Teemo main here. I will never forget when Teemo was giga-busted in the beginning because of the three new items creating the Malignance - Storm Surge - Shadow flame combo constantly proccing on Teemo shrooms. Instead of nerfing the items that seemed custom tailored to Teemo's R, they decided to nerf... his Q and 5% scaling on his ult. That's right, they nerfed the ability that's not even proccing any of the broken items. But when surprise, it's still broken, they gut his R and nerf... his E on-hit damage as well. Another ability that isn't even triggering the items. Then Phreak said, "Oh, the E nerf won't affect him too much." But because of how dog they are at balancing, they ended up making it so that he couldn't last hit under turret until 4 points into E or a half item. So they hotfix it but Teemo's 'still too strong' because of the items so they double down and nerf his E scaling... only to to then revert it when they finally touched the items. Now you gotta buy Malignance if you even want to have mushrooms up like you used to on a base level.

I remember this! I couldnt think of an example of the top of my head but this is literally it. I wouldnt mind if when they nerfed the item they remebered the champs who got nerfed and buffed them immediatly but they dont. Teemo gets his kit gutted because of an item.... it should be the other way round
@raithdoom4 ай бұрын
While I will never complain about teemo being nerfed riot nerfing champs not items just shows how little the balance team understands the game. Malignance was in just about every mage build and it didn’t even seem like they considered that the problem was the item and not champs. It’s even worse when you compared it to hexplate which was supposed to be the ad counterpart to the item yet it was never really built even on ult based ad champs

I said this for years to friends and will now say it again. ADC cant be balanced cbs of how the Math works for it. Let me explain: Damage is for all champions defiened by values that scale with each other. These values are : Damage (ad / ap), repead rate of Damage (Atatckspeed/ Cooldown[as is just aa cooldown]), and penetration If you buy 100 AD, then with a spell that does 100% AD dmg (like autoattacks) you now deal 100 Dmg more. If you then buy attackspeed/ Cdr to attack twice as often, you do twice as much dmg. --> bcs you now attack twice as often you apply the 100AD from before twice as often, making them effectivly into 200AD. If you buy penetration to have your damage reduced to 50% instead of 25%, then you now do 100% more dmg then before. --> now your 100AD from before, which were effectivly 200ad bcs atatckspeed have become 400 AD. In other terms Stats of Damage Items are multiplied with each other --> Damage in league = (number of Items owned)^(number of multiplieing stats) --> Dmg = Items^3 ADC is the ONLY exception, as Crit also multiplies AD, Attackspeed and Penetration --> only for ADC : Dmg = Items^4 For anyone that knwos Math, anything up by 4 grows faster then anything up by 3. Thats why ADC is "balanced" around having weaker items (on their own) ADC Items MUST be weaker on their own then other items on their own, bcs otherwise adcs would ALWAYS be stronger from the first item on, bcs x^4 is always bigger then x^3 Thats why if you would only have 1 Item then an Item like Steraks, or Black cleaver is stronger then JUST Infinity Edge. --> Dmg = (Item strength * Items)^(Multiplier) Lets assume an ADC Item has 70% strength of a Mage or Top laner item. THen top laner would be --> (1* items)^3 while ADC would be (0,7* items)^4 Now the problem: Riot balances ADC around being as strong as other Champions around the 2 1/2 item mark. this means --> if all players have equalyl as much Items (so same gold income) then ADCs are weaker at 1 item, weaker at 2, stronger at 3+. complelty op at full build (but games "normaly" dont go to full build) Thats why riot always tries to make ADC itme prices in a way that they reach 2 1/2 items when the game is at its most important and deciding stage. THe problem: --> Game lengths change with patch and ,etas, with that the timing when adcs should reach 2 1/2 items. Adcs can be ahead, and then are super op bcs then a 4 Items facing a 3 Item top/ mid laner is FAR to strong, cbs his items scale better Adcs can be behind, adn then a 1 Item Adc facing a 3 Item top/ mid laner is completly useles. It will ALWAYS result in frustrating Gameplay: If the Adcs is behind its totally frusttrating for the Adcs, as he is usles. If the ADC is ahead its completly frustrating for EVERYONE else as he is completly op. If the Game finishes fast its frustrating for Adc bcs he couldnt reach the timing in which he becomes usefull If Game goes long its frustrating for EVERYONE else, cbs now adc is ful build, completly op and everyone else is useles Thats why i always said: --> Riot MUST remove crit chance from the game. If Adcs would not have crit chance and instead only the 3 dmg values dmg, as, and pen, then it would have the same scaling, and then items could be as strong as other, rtemoving all the problems i said before. It also is super easy to do that: remove crit chance adn rework the entire adc item system to be centered around on hit effects. On hit effects are multiplied by buying atackspeed and penetration. buying ad does nothing for them. the same way AD isnt multiplied by on hit effects. It would be a x^3 system like for EVERY other role. Adcs would be less op when having ful build or being fed, as items wouldnt scale better then others. and adcs would feel more usefull when behind or in fast games in the early game, as the items on their own would be able to be stronger. this is the ONLY solution to fix adcs. bcs even if you could prevent people feeding, or snowballing and would give no gold for kils and farm, and just give 1k gold every 5 minutes, it still wouldnt be possible to balacne crit, as the average Game length still would change from patch to patch. Some examples for how to make an on hit adc item system: Items like BotrK or Kraken are already good examples of how it would work. Then champs like caitlyn or yasuo who atm have passivs scaling with crit, could scale with on hit. for example Caits passiv instead of doing more dmg for crit chance, could increase the damage of on hit effects by a % value. in the end the passiv gameplay wise does the same, but is easier to balance and more healthy for the game, as ADC player would be less frustrated when behind and not be as useles, and EVERYONE else would be less frustrated facing a Fed adc, as he then couldnt just do 1v9 as ADCs can for years now. Also 2 more side notes: Thats also why Tanks are bad in lategame adn frustrating to face in early game: Tanks only have 2 values: Armor/ MR and HP. --> so defense is x^2, bcs only 2 stats multply with each other. Thats why tank items must be stronger then other items on their own, with all the reasone xplained above, adn why in the early game a fed tnak with 2 items cna feel unfair when you ahve 1. but also why a full build tank is useles vs any othr role with full build, bcs damage outscales defense. a defense rework system to give a 3th defense stat would be good for the same reason. And lastly: The durability patch was horrible: it didnt removed damage, it just made people more tanky by their base stats --> as a result it nerfed burst damage and buffed dps, but didnt made damage less, just instead of getting 1 shoted by an assassin you lsoe 80%, and instead of getting bursted by an ADC in 5 hits you got bursted in 6. also if all champs have more HP/armor/MR by lvl ups then buying defense stats is worth less: if you have 1k hp and buy 1k hp you doubled your hp. if you have 2 k hp and buy 1k hp you got 50% more hp. --> as a result people need to buy less Defense and can instead just buy more damage. that is why the durability patch could never work from the start. So guys, i wish you all good luck and lets hope Riot Game designers will learn a bit of math, as in the end Game balancing is simply said just math (as showed above) GL HF

@@comment4t0r61 Your math is wrong. If an ADC's Items are 0.7 effectiveness, then they depreciate in value with exponentiation. Also, saying that Mages don't exponent with Items is equally dishonest. If anything, they have stronger powerspikes on Items than any Non-ADC Class, since the Items are internally coherent. They give AP and Pen (Burst Items) which have scaling components for MORE burst. They also give CDR and Burn, which synergizes with itself as more applications of DoTs gives more damage. Instead, I propose that Crits should deal a Percentage amplification to basic attacks. Rather than being a nebulous 1.75X at random, Critical Strike Chance should be, "Superliminality." The Stat gives you a +0.2 bonus to every autoattack. The game now functions much healthier as Mages/Fighters actually powerspike harder until Item 3, when ADCs now have 1.6AD Autos. Then, you can have a 2.0+ "Crit" that's both more consistent and easier to balance. On-Hit Champions can use Superliminality as well as Crit Champions, since they can explode the damage with Guinsoo, at the cost of less consistency. EXAMPLE: (On-Hit) 1.4 + 1.4 + 1.8 < (Crit) 1.6 + 1.6 + 1.6 | 1.6 + 1.6 + 2.2 = 1.8 + 1.8 + 1.8 | 1.8 + 1.8 + 2.6 < 2.25 + 2.25 + 2.25 Your process actually fails because now ADCs aren't incentivized to build On-Hit Items. Their superior Gold Scaling should make them build Bruiser/Fighter Items, abusing them at higher effectiveness while being unkillable.

@@omegaminoseer4539 Well the 0.7 thing isnt wrong as you said as i said it as 1: an example, the number doesnt need to be exact. 2: as a multiplies. so if you with my example have 5 items as adc is woud be (0.7* 5)^4 = 150 and a Mage with 4 Items would be (1*5)^3= 125. Its not about 0,7 being the right value (and i wont make the math now to find the value needed that both equations meet at 2,5 items) its ane xample ot explain a principle. also you saying Mages scale better is also wrong, as again iam talking about the principle. ofc the actualy scaling depends on the items power, and if Mage items would be 3 times as strong as adc items they would always scale better as league caps out at 6 items. but iam talkinga bout why crit cant be balanced, cbs you cant make the items as strong as all others, while for bruiser, Fighters, mages, assassin you can easily balance the game by making all Items equally strong, as all have only 3 stats multiplieng each other, ONLY adc has 4. And thats why i suggest the on Hit variation to exaplin again with your magee xample talking about penetration and ap: Lets say you would have an Item that gives all Mage stats : 100AP, 50% Ability Haste (which reduces the Cooldown by 50% of the current value), and Penetration. And then an ADc item that Gives 100Ad, Atatckspeed (of equivilant value as the Ability Haste), Penetration (same value) and Crit chance. THe Damage of the Mage would be 100% Ap scaling, so 100 dmg which he then can apply double as often bcs Haste --> 200 Dmg, and ignore enough Mr to double dmg again --> 400 Dmg THe ADC item does 100AD so 100Dmg, which then can be applied double as oftne cbs attackspeed --> 200 Dmg, and ignore enough Armor to double dmg again --> 400 Dmg, adn then enough crit to Double again --> 800 Dmg. Bcs ADc is the ONLY role with Crit and with that the only Role that has 1 More stat that multiplies with all others. On Hit would fix that, as you can buy Pen, AD, Atackspeed and On Hit: AD scales only with Atatckspeed and pen, not on hit. On hit scales only with atatckspeed and Pen, not ad --> BOth cases its the times 3 multiplies like Mages, Bruiser, Fighter, Assassins and so on. and it MUST happen, as ADC can never be balanced otherwise, as otherwise you will always have a breaking point at which the ADC becoems stronger then everyone else, cbs as explained: with my example of (item power* Item number)^(itme Multiplier) the Power of Adc items must be weaker, or they will always be stronger. so depending on the item strength value ADCs Items will surpas other items at a certain point. Before that point adc is weaker, making adc player frustrated feelig useles. and past that point making all other palyer frustrated playing against an over powered adc. Making Crit consitsant instead of a chacne like you suggested changes nothing about it, just makes it consitsantly op or useles instead of having a random factor. but even with a random 25% chance to deal double damage, it just is 25% more dmg, no matter the chance or guranate.

honestly, at this point, i get it and i would say the same. if everyone can oneshot everyone else, it would, in fact, be unfair to single one guy out and say "no, everyone can oneshot everyone but you can't". If we still had genuinely distinct classes, if we had tanks who had 0 damage, bruisers who were strong early but fall off a cliff in teamfights, mages with range and damage on a long cooldown, assassins with the pick potential and nothing else, it would make sense to have ADC be the short range, sustained, squishy DPS source. but if everyone is functionally an assassin, just with slightly different kits, ADCs are more than okay to fill in the ranged assassin slot.

I switched to dota 2 and honestly having a blast. Game is way slower paced, you can't surrender, most games feel like every individual player has some impact and oneshots happen only when the person being oneshot is super behind, or when the champion doing the one shotting is specifically designed to do so, and has other big weaknesses. And strategy and tactics matter are way more important than individual mechanical skill. Mechanical skill is important still, there are a lot of ways to juke, confuse and outplay an opponent, but it's not done with 200 years movement abilities, instead it's done with consumable items, map manipulation and ability timings. People who play league and have never tried dota should definitely give it a go. It's hella fun.

Just out of curiosity, when are ADCs supposed to 'win' ? As far as I know, the only thing ADCs are supposed to have as an advatange is superior damage through items. But without these changes, Tanks are too tanky to kill, assassins are too mobile to kill, juggernauts run you down before you can kill them, mages burst you down before your consistence damage has any effect, even supports lock you in place until someone else comes to mop you up. I feel like ADC champions have become obsolete and impossible to balance because their original game design was 'damage' and nothing else. So they're either effective at their job or they're simply a walking money bag. I see a lot of people saying 'damage isn't the way to balance ADCs' but i dont see a whole lot of solutions. Another way to balance ADCs in my opinion would be to increase AA range with every item by like 100 to 150 so that when they have items they can harrass with consistent damage. (With their precious damage though, not the current one-shot one) That or better ways to scale becuase they are the 'scaling' role. But now everybody else also 'scales' which makes their original purpose redundant.

Curent state of solo queue - bruisers are locked into a build of 5 items that all cost 3300 or more gold, so basically praying the game lasts 47 minutes (average game time 23 minutes). Tanks are either unstopable machines, thanks to heartsteel, or a weaker super minion thats a bit annoying. Jungle is basically "who can use blackfire torch/profane better" fest. Mid is "lichbane vs galvanized vs profane hydra" galore, adc is "who got collector, infinity, lord dominics" snowball first, while support is basically "what wins? A leona locking an adc down for 7 seconds, or brand pressing R on an adc?" duel. If anyone with a new shiny item goes 5/0 thats basically it, they get drakes, grubbies, plates and snowball into a 9/2 monster that wins 21st minute baron fight, and just all mid push wins the game in 23rd minute. Fun... I love playing against the same items every game. Nothing quite like malignance, blackfire, cryptbloom, collector, opportunity, infinity edge, heartsteel and warmorg every game... imagine if I saw anything else other than champions revolving around these items.

I mostly agree, but there is ONEoint I strongly disagree with. I actually do think Blackfire torch is a balanced item. If a new item is being used on a champion, it’s because the new item has better synergy with the champion than what they were previously building. If the new item has better synergy, the winrate of the champion will go up. The new item has to make a higher winrate or they’ll just build the old item. So it does make sense to nerf the champions who now have items that more synergize with their base kit. But yeah league of damage is dumb, everybody dying to 1 auto is dumb, and removing Caitlyn from the game (which is kinda what next patch is doing) will not solve the problem.

Honestly, the few patches before 14.10, adc felt alright. The main issue was the complete lack of defense options. Shieldbow was a joke and now is the whole circus. They really thought bringing bloodthirster back to its problematic self was a good decision. There was a good amount of build variety last patch and now it’s just infinity edge, bloodthirster, and ldr.

So true. Back in season 4 and 5 there were roles. An assassin was physically unable to kill a tank or bruiser, let alone one shot them. If you were an assassin and went to fight a tank you would waste 40 seconds- this was before the stupid tank meta but rather at that point tanky champions had their place. Adc's started doing huge damage at literal 4 1/2 or 5 items. So a 2 or even 3 item adc chunking you was never going to happen. It's also clear that Riot doesn't want to introduce durability due to the insane eastern servers who allegedly like fast games and burst. Durability patch was the reason I came back to League and I genuinely enjoyed it. But damage now has become insane again.

The damage creep I believe is due to players wanting higher kill count games and Riot trying to deliver on that. It's also not just item and champion damage creep, but mobility and cc and gold creep as well. Leading to action packed quicker games, which many players prefer to play and watch. New items and champions are supercharged. Riot's job is to create enough chaos/changes so that the meta doesn't get stale is all and when you have to constantly change things it's difficult to stay original or exceptionally creative or even intelligent. Lethality items especially are just straight up imbalanced for so long now and I think are the main culprit along with old stormsurge and now blackfire. ADC's didn't use to have a bunch of free lethality in their scaling builds with an IE. Champions that can make great use of both lethality and crit builds are consequently OP AF. Collector especially is op, it should have zero lethality and they can up the gold you get from its passive to like 50 or even 75. All lethality items should have at least 2 less lethality and probably less. Change collector to a dedicated adc snowball item and give yun tal to the ad assassins and change its crit to ability haste and some of its attack damage to lethality. Make Blackfire cost 300 more gold so only dps mages still want to build it and they can lower ap ratios on blackfire passive further or on lilia/brand/Karthus/Rumble kinda stuff and raise their base damage to compensate them a bit if needed.

I think the reason this problem exists (and it does) is because Riot live with constant anxiety that if they don't change the game every five minutes people will get bored and stop playing because it is 'stale'. So preseason that commit massive fuckery and it's 'engaging'. Not anything to do with balancing. My question is, why do people still play tennis? Ball is the same, racket is the same, net height and court is the same. The only variable is your opponent, but if Riot ran tennis they would be changing the net height and boundaries every two months.

It just makes everything more "kill them before they kill you".

You know why Riot doubled down on ADC item damage buffs? Because Assassins can oneshot them without counterplay (dodging skillshots etc). At the close of the last split Phreak and August both said that they know what the would need to do: Make funny dash mobility boosting single target burst champions (a.k.a. Assassins) unplayable as a whole. They then said that that would cost them a huge portion of the playerbase. So they did the other thing. Buff the damage of squishys so the can literally oneshot Assassins with on rotation or few auto attacks as possible. And now think about how tanks were changed (the class that does not care about single target burst). Yeah, making sense now?

Here is an idea for a fix: Tanks: Can't kill anything, but can't be killed easily. Juggernaughts: Less tanky than a tank, can kill things, but take a while. Mages and Assassins: Can burst down a single target, but have long CDs. ADCs: Have DPS, but can't one shot anyone. Utility Supports: lots of CC. Work items around these specifications. I will be honest, it is not fun to play as a tank when I get killed just as squishie and it is not fun that I can't kill a tank, but the tank can kill me in two seconds.

The intent for mages is to 'scale' but they've kept pushing early power spikes for mages and now we have blackfire torch. There's Brand seeing successful play in every role. Players love being punished for just being near the wave and losing 1/4 of their health. All new champs have percentage health damage somewhere in the kit. They nerfed and changed Seraphine to push her back to support then immediately buffed her again to see some more APC play. Remember when Mr. Head of Balance Phreak told ADC's they need to build defensive items, Varus played realized they had percent health on everything so they built full support, then Phreak nerfed it all?

Now with new patch 14.10 a lot of crit items got changed including navoris, and guess what? None of those nerfs got reverted on GP. His winrate dropped to 46-something percent. Guess we are just building him wrong. Fuck this balance team, they have no idea how their game works.

Sorry, I was writing comment before I got to the part of this video, where "nerf champ, not broken item" were said x)

no problem! thanks for adding the 2ndd comment, ngl I havent seen gp in about 15,000 games because shock he got the riot special. And this is it isn't it he's finally getting buffed again I think but how many months has the champ been crap because of a broken item

To be honest they finally should get out of trauma of season 5 and 2 and NERF DAMAGE. I know they fear dreaded tank meta, when Esport was at its worst (still remember how people cheered for ward kills, because everyone feared to engage in cc fest), but there is reason this role exist you know.
@Rewleague4 ай бұрын
Yeah, could they not balance ADCs to do more dmg to tanks? or make it so seryldas grudge and cryptbloom are good vs tanks but terrible vs squishes? so you have to buy into anti tank stats rather than buying antitank items that are good vs everything?
@LeeSimp90294 ай бұрын
Honestly the worst part about this is just the fact that ADC never feels strong unless its WAY too strong. I wish they would just accept that the rune overhaul was the worst thing to ever happen to the game and that we should go back to season 3 simplify a lot of these characters that make everything feel shit because they don't have 8 dashes, 3 stuns, 800 range, 4 passives per skill, and percent health max dmg on every skill. It's not even power creep at this point, like power creep has tapped into the speed force.
@Rewleague4 ай бұрын
good point on the dashes, like how do you balance a traditional adc vs yone...

It's not healthy that Cait can crit on a headshot. Why isn't it a crit baseline?
@voidheart74254 ай бұрын
I've been playing every role for years now and the damage creep since the introduction of Thunderlord's decree way back when has been insane. Every role does too much damage and before balancing anything else they should honestly just nerf all damage in the game by at least 30%. Losing more than 200hp level 1 from one spell an aa and a keystone is criminal

Subbed, i have played this game since 2010 and what this game has turned into is a mess. Tanks that do a good amount of dmg with no damage items, and the absurd amount of dmg assassins, adc's do to each other lmao. Champions like Garen make me want to smash my monitor.

back when that ashe clip happened an assassin or mage would have to play like perfectly to one shot the ashe and it would take like 4 seconds, but nowadays an ahri can dash on u miss her entire combo and kill you with w and lich bane auto attacks in like 1 second. in order for adc to be playable they need to be able to punish that which means now you need to kill in less than that time. if they just made everything not completely one shot like that even when u miss everything adc would have be fine. none of the characters in that clip are really damaging the ashe that much also meanwhile in current league if that trundle auto q autos u ur probably 1/3 hp and die to a singular varus q.

funny how you cite a clip from season 10 as the glory days of adc (a season where IE had the same exact stats it does currently) but imo the issue is mostly caitlyn because thats adc i see doing these ridiculous one shots and shes being nerfed in 14.11 along with ie so its not a month long to see changes like you said in the video its just a couple weeks and obviously when a big midscope like this comes out there will be a few outliers and imo riot is doing a good job tackling them quickly. but i do agree jinx should have been hotfixed MONTHS ago its really crazy
@daw1dstec4 ай бұрын
caitlyn isnt even that strong. people dont play how to play around her range at low ranks, and its also really frustrating for many champs at higher elos. then she snowballs and its like OH ADC ONESHOTS ME OMEGALUL (any other ad does that when ahead at any patch really)
@Rewleague4 ай бұрын
You cope is crazy to me, how you can defend and adc oneshotting is unreal. Like i say if every champ had veigar ult and one shot is that a low elo skill issue or bad game design. Whats wrong with having a snowball adc kill in 3 autos and the enemy adc whos behind taking 5
@Rewleague4 ай бұрын
But so much else is different to ie and in that ashe clip look At aphelios ult it does 0 dmg compared to now. Yeah saw the cait ‘adjustments’ after i recorded they are more nerfs than adjustments. Its more than this patch though the midscope really isnt that big but the point is the midscope literally just adds more dmg To adc and mages even ludens is stronger and akshan my main is at 54% where is his nerf
@ad1v94 ай бұрын
@@RewleagueIm not defending adc one shotting? im saying one or two adcs are the outliers and they should be adjusted not the whole role r*ped because caitlyn has a 120% scaling on her headshot. and in the aphelios clip his ult does nearly no dmg because look at his build dude he has runaans and is building into dd, i agree now that collector ldr and yuntal exist there is a lot more ways to do dmg for ability focused burst adcs and that is the problem. and thats why crit dmg is being adjusted as a result. im not defending it im just stating dont act like its the entire class thats one shotting with burst when its clearly just a few outliers that are abusing it
@Rewleague4 ай бұрын
is that not the point of dmg creep though? dd was viable on aphelios he was doing less dmg and taking more damage. The items now are pure dmg even fucking Aatrox doesnt build deaths dance thats mindblowing to me. For sure I agree cait is an outlier and sorry I thought the comment below was also you adding on to the first comment about oneshots.

Everyone quick to beat down on ADC's as if the last 2 years hasn't been a meme of adc's being the worst role and in the last year 3-4 man dives botlane become a thing. There is no play safe under tower lol As a support main, it's about time ADC's at least got to feel useful pre-3-4 completed items.
@path97604 ай бұрын
pretty much this adc has been shit to play for years to the point where the best bot laners to play were all mages adc vs assassin -> dead "well its an assassin thats their role fantasy" Adc vs Tanks -> dead or unable to kill "well tanks are supposed to mitigate damage of course the adc shouldn't be crushing them" adc vs mages -> dead "well mages do more burst of course they can kill a squishy adc with only 1 set of spells" adc vs fighters -> dead "stay away from them, you have to pay attention to their high mobility and gap closers or you shouldnt be able to fight them" ADC was the ONLY role that completely depended on your team and protect you to do their job but when everyone else can do the damage themselves why should they? Obviously pro play is a different world to solo q. Checking winrates on the patch only 1 bot lane marksman is in the top 10 of winrates for emerald+(2 if you count mid akshan) Adcs finally being able to punish assassin brain players in other roles that just saw food isnt the problem. Its the games global damage... Now I don't want tank meta back but I'm also sick of everyone 100 to 0'ing anyone they get to combo. Everyone is just reinforced to buy full damage. its insane to me "bruiser" champs like aatrox build full damage like an assassin when they are exactly the type of champ that fits the role of lots of hybrid items thematically .
