Why is IE now a mythic?!
LoL Fans Believe New Infinity Edge Is Useless
Infinity Edge is one of the most iconic items in League of Legends. It's the big item spike for almost every single AD Carry in the game and in LoL Patch 13.10 Riot decided to turn this item into a mythic, but the classification change has not gone according to plan.
Players have noticed that every single other AD mythic item is better than Infinity Edge. What should Riot do though to make this a feel-good bot lane item once more for ADC's?
LoL: New IE Stats Are Horrible According To Players
Infinity Edge has been one of the most iconic items in the game. It's the power spike for bot laners and yet ever since Riot decided to re-classify it as a mythic it's fallen to the wayside of all the other new items, and even to pre-existing mythic items as well.

The new stats of Infinity Edge are basically the exact same as the one before, but it now has a mythic passive which empowers each of your other Legendary items with 5 AD.
Players have noticed how unsatisfying Infinity Edge as a mythic has been and that the new and improved Youmuu's Ghostblade is a much better option for most ADC's even if Ghostblade is considered a "mythic for assassins".
Even champions that you'd think want to build IE, like Jhin, Miss Fortune or Twitch will either choose Ghostblade, Galeforce or Rageblade.
Some players suggest that the item should have its mythic passive reworked to give even more crit chance or crit damage, since Infinity Edge is known as the crit item. Though it seems like Riot did test out the added crit damage per legendary item but decided to scrap that before release.

Others have also suggested just giving the item a mythic active, kind of like Galeforce with heightened damage for a few seconds, or a speed boost.
Overall, it seems that no one wants to build Infinity Edge right now and that the item has lost its popularity. It was a usual 3rd or 4th buy for most, but since LoL Patch 13.10 it's been one of the least used items.
