Patch 8.18 is absurd

Okay, first of all, lemme just say this. Yes, I am a Gnar main. So I maybe a bit bias about this. But why the hell does riot think it's okay the make Gnar even squishier in mini? I do agree that Gnar maybe a bit too opressive. But why not just nerf his damage instead? I'd be perfectly fine with some damage nerfs to Gnar instead of his base armor being lowered.

I play gnar not because he can do some pretty good damage, but because with a good team and proper communication he can give a good advantage in team fights with his ult and w. And unlike some toplaners, he's not super easy and can't really carry the game. He's not op in any sense rn, and is in fact doing pretty bad in solo q.

Also, the vayne cool down reduction on her q is a completely uneeded buff to her early game. I feel like she's going to be played so much now after the tank changes last patch. She and kaisa are going to dominate.

And the renekton changes are even more aids. I don't know his exact winrate, I think it's around 52% in diamond. But I really think they're unneeded.

Pls riot, stop ruining ur game balance just because of fucking worlds.

ranged tops should be removed from the game anyways.

Riot is trolling. Varus sitting at 48% wr in soloqueue and he got nerfed last patch as well. They made an inmobile marksman even squishier because "muh LCS"

Definitely agree with OP. Gnar doesn't need nerfs.

I'm fine with reducing Vayne's lvl q Tumble cd from 6 to 4 seconds. Holy this helps her early game so much despite being a champikn with the shittiest early game to ever exist. Aatrox's total spellvamp buff seemed weird tho. Why cut his minion heal in one patch but make him have better and more sustainable trades in another patch. 30% total AD ult sounds nuts tho, since as a hyperscaler he struggled in late game. Renekton's lvl q E buff is ridiculous tho. I'm fine with max rank E buff but making his early even more toxic to deal with is jist straight up nuisance. Gnar's and Braum's nerfs seemed really weird tho, I don't see how were they causing trouble in Solo Q rather than LCS ~ oh wait, my bad. Speaking of nerfs, Ryze got another one. Incoming rework I guess. XD

I wish they would do something about kaisa's absurd damage, sustain options, mobility. Just something that that makes me feel like I ever had a chance.

Is Renekton a Pros buff?

Vayne won't dominate unless Jhin, MF, Kai'Sa, Draven and Lucian are heavily nerfed.
