Are Champions in General Getting Weaker?

PapaGreg21··2 votes·601 views

As somebody that primarily plays Shyvana, Sejuani, Nautilus, Akali, and Syndra I have noticed that they are all SIGNIFICANTLY worse off now than they were a year ago (with the exception of Jungle Shyvana.) I don't play a lot of other champs but is this just a trend that other people have noticed with the rest of the roster or is it just bizarre that all of the people I have enjoyed playing as have been hit by the nerf truck?

Yeah, they are. Riot's been trying to downplay snowballing and increase the amount of teamwork it takes to win.

theyve been doing exactly the opposite. all of the season 6 changes made the game less teamwork focused and incredibly snowbally.

Personal experience (and I can't speak for everyone) but I've had a lot of good teamwork games.

Games have been snowbally, but they don't feel like season 5 Vayne snowbally.

Nah, Snowballing is way up since Preseason 6.

I think they were trying to keep both. That way your individual performance can have more impact, but other things about the game are encouraging you to shift that snowball's path straight into the teamfight and crush the game.

Top lane is the prime example of insane snowballing, which is kind of ironic as Tanks fit best there.

Welcome to my world. I played Alistar top lane, got it to work and played him jungle, he then promptly gets super-nerfed into Support Only, and even then a sub par one compares to others.

Played Lulu, Gutted.

Played Jana, Gut.

Played Olaf, Gutted.

Played, Ezreal, nerfed.

Taric? Nerf.

Maokai? Nerf.

Zyra? Nerf.

Now Rengar? community has their pitchforks sharpened and torches lit and wants him gutted.

Maybe I should just play Zed and Yasuo and see if I cause them to get nerfed lol

Yeah your list of champs got beat down pretty bad too. That sucks. Rengar isn't even that strong too, it's just that everybody else stinks and he has to be brought down to their level.
