Since my last post was removed. Ill make this one a little nicer. Riot Employees the cream of the crop the best of the best, geniuses in their own right. @Meddler the leader of the best employee’s and smartest employees in the gaming industry. i just want to thank you all for removing Kench from any viable gameplay environment in the game we call League of Legends. A little background on myself 5K+ games top/support GM/Masters elo on Kench. The ‘enhancements’ which were made to Kench are amazing!!! now do I not only not scale late game, I am utterly useless as Kench from the start! I am so happy! Hopefully Kench will be moved to TFT where I can maybe Get a glimpse of him within your client. Removing Q stack was a great idea. Because it was too easy for Kench to walk up to a riven or any champ with some sort of movement adjustment and auto two more times. Very oppressive. Damage reduction from passive - might as well get rid of all that too... who needs any damage when Zyra or Morg or Lux can just do 500 damage with two spell combo... ill just run at them and hopefully ill have enough health because of the ‘buff’ my E got on regen. Gray bar!!! No problem! I was getting confused of pressing E when I had a shield- I am so happy a 3s cooldown was put into place, now I will just jam my keyboard and break my hand to try to get a shield! W stun nerfs, Perfect! We’ll just give champs with flash and any other jump or dash spell a chance to run away! But its okay guys..... we get to eat Jungle sentinels Blue and Red... this totally made up for the gutting of Kench! I am definitely okay with all the changes now since I can eat jungle sentinels, i definitely think this will be so MUCH FUN. Kench is going on vacation I guess... he needs the time off since he was a little oppressive for one whole patch! Have fun Riven, have fun Jax, have fun all the other OP champs who scale into late game!!! Just wanted to say - keep up the great work Rioters! I will be looking forward to the other GREAT ideas you kids come up with in the future!!!

Much love - yours truly - a Kench Main side note: this is my Smurf Account if anyone is really wondering

this is actually funny because it's not comming from a silver player and it's an actual representation of how riot hates tanks and doesn't want tanks to function in the game

honestly i had problems laning vs good laners when i was with tk and i didn't have issues laning vs tk

he scaled like dog shit and got really hard bootied by split pushers and couldn't farm past 20 minutes to save his life even

but if the irelia that kills a squishy lvl 2 can't kill a tank at the same point in the game we have to cry and bitch about it until that tank gets gutted so we can go and 1 shot that squishy lvl 2 again like we were used to

+1 riot is doodoo when balancing tanks for reference he lost 6% as support and 12% as top

while i do agree the nerfs were severely overboard....all i wanted them to do was nerf the slow on Q so i actually had a chance to get away from him

one (1) patch?

I'd prefer they just remove that trash champ from the game via some rework that completely destroys his entire identity. make him a bland underwhelming assassin without any mobility or cc

My apologies he has had his "OP" lane buff since Patch 9.9 @preternatural - where they introduced one small increase on his "Q" which led to everyone playing him top - but nerfed his passive , his "W" and his "R"- prior patches also introduced many nerfs including the grounding nerf on his "w" because pro players did not know how to "handle it" and they wanted to see champs like "kha" "riven" "lb" etc etc... one shot people without a way to safely escape "cough cough - zhonya item" , and patches throughout 9.10-9.13 introduces Nerfs to his kit as well. I think it is fair to say that Riven having a stun lock combo lvl 6+ is not frustrating at all to one shot any non-tank......Irelia having a stun lock combo 6+ is also not frustrating at all to one shot any non-tank.... Jax having a stun lock combo 6+ with empowered Q is non frustrating at all to one shot any non-tank.... Darius having a stun lock combo 6+ is also not frustrating at all 6+ to one shot any non-tank.....plus the many other champs that do this... so to summarize... I guess it's okay to have a stun lock combo as long as your enemy champ dies within 4 seconds.... if your champ has an extended stun-lock combo like Kench where the champ needs 10s+ to kill you because he is lacking damage... that pours too much frustrating emotions for that 10s+ into any human ( life is hard ) so Riot being the AMAZING FANTASTIC company and group of individuals they are decided that he needed to get gutted.....After the gutting they thought OMG his 12 and 6 % WR decrease was too much so they decided to release a Mid-Patch 9.14 buff which will did absolutely nothing except raise the % by 1-2 leaving him still crippled for any type of competitive or high elo play.

what happened? did you drop 300 lp because you abused a broken as fuck champion, on which a silver quality player could win lane against a master/grandmaster because hes had literally no bad matchup and practically stomped every other champion in lane?

i want to unironically thank meddler for finally nerfing this shit out of top lane. i dont want to see that champion again, until they can make his lane phase balanced with his mid and lategame.

I do think they overnerfed him, but you better bet your ass I'm not complaining.

Who ever down voted this.... you people are the problem this game can never be correctly balanced... you cry when someone has better skills than you and blame the champ for the lack of game knowledge you need to overcome your opponent instead of making yourself a better player. So Riot bends over for you to help you have a better in-game experience because of your cry baby whining.
