I can't evne follow the reasoning behind things riot is doing these days.

At least there seemed to be some kind of within reason logic behind changes back in the day.

Now it is Medler saying "she is a bit strong so we are removing this core element of her kit but not the actual problem" or "Blitz is not competitively viable so we are allowing him to delete all shields with the press of a button".

At least I could follow reasoning with Morello even if I did not agree with everything.

Can we go back to the Morello ways of nerfing everything already?

Riot: "We heard what you guys were saying...." AND Decided we know better even though we have never played the roles we like to nerf and even though these mechanics were in the game for a reason........ eh it'll be better this way FOR SURE The community: "Are we a joke to you?"

I can't bad mouth them on here but it's a pretty well known issue these days. Riot just doesn't care when we speak up about it and just keep doing the horrible crap they are doing already.

Kinda reminds me of: ''We are taking 5 movement speed away from Irelia so she has a harder time chasing her opponents'' or something along the lines.

Riot trying to balance their game is like monkeys trying to build a rocket [garen-swing]

There is no reasoning behind riots balance decisions.

They are just rolling dice to decide what they change.

1-5 gutted 6-11 - small nerf 12-19 buffs Nat 20 - legendary skin and a juicy buff.

You are assuming riot has an actual reason anymore.

Riot used to care about balance for all champs. Sure they might have dropped the ball here and there but all in all things were fine.

Now they literally only care about popular/playmaking champions. And those generally tend to be high damage champs that really arent fun to play against. But they leave 100 champs on the wayside.

Unpopular opinion Riot wants the game to be in a perpetual state of negativity to continuously keep people buzzing about the game. They think people will get board of the game if it were 90-95% balanced unlike it is now where it is 60%? (meaning there is a meta, and somewhat of champion balance, turret adjustments, jungle exp nerfs, established bot lane rules, etc.) balanced.

No one can. Why do you think they spend so much time trying to explain the changes in each of the patch notes, even though their explanations make no fucking sense.

dont forget, all skills that remove shields, also do a lot of damage and have CC on them, is basically a death sentence by itself.

I mean you know they have no idea what they are doing with game balance anymore when they literally stated in the last patch notes that they were gutting Tahm for being annoying to play against.

They removed so many mechanics that Tahm is not even the same champion anymore.

Just remove Sylas and Zoe and Yas to START. Then we can look at ruins. Nerfing isn't enough, idc if Sylas is at 20% winrate I still don't want to play against him EVER, but I NEED to ban Morde or else auto lose.

Anyone remember that Ekko E buff from a few years ago. It went something like "Ekko fairs pretty well when his cooldowns are up, so we're buffing him to allow him to do that more often" or some invalid shit that sounds pointless like that

Or when the changed siege minions to 90 gold and caster ones to 14 to "up the ante"

I can't wait for them to nerf Amumu by replacing his ult with an aoe slow
