Why the next patch is going to be bad

Let's see, there are some significant buffs to a lot of the keystone masteries, and yet no nerfs to the champions that will be able to abuse them in order to get way stronger than before. Let's see here:

Yasuo with the new Warlord's Bloodlust can heal for 25% of the damage he deals and get +30% attack speed. This is completely absurd since he does so much damage so fast that if he heals for 25% it'd be like he'll live forever unless he makes a significant screw up. And Yasuo is one of the least fun champions to play against.

Nasus with the new Stormraider's Surge. He's so slow that he just gets cc'd and wrecked endgame and isn't even as useful as he is midgame, huh? Not anymore, with this, he'll likely be able to get around after just a single q and then completely dominate a teamfight. It'll really suck playing against him since if he gets enough stacks, then endgame is just good game. You could have the rest of your team way ahead but he'd probably just wipe them all out anyways if your top laner isn't very good. He probably won't even be OP, but he will be another absolutely horrible champion to play against.

Brand with the new Deathfire Touch. Since he wasn't already damaging or OP enough before, might as well give him even more damage. Even at level 1, one w will be able to wipe out a gargantuanly hugely ridiculous amount of health. And he'll scale ridiculously well with dealing very high damage all game. He's already the highest ranked winrate champion at 55.5%. I know that includes all skill levels but still, he's going to be the ultimate freelo champion next patch if he doesn't get a nerf.

Not only that, but also with so many of the keystones giving you even more damage or more speed in the case of Stormraider's Surge, but pretty much only if you're ahead, then champions will snowball even harder than before, meaning games could likely be over even faster.

Finally, supports are getting a nerf to their best item, in Frost Queen's Claim. Since they weren't already the weakest champions on the map by enough yet, make them even weaker. Great fix Riot.

Now admittedly the next patch is going to fix some things, but I feel these new problems are bigger than the problems that they're actually fixing.

  1. if you take warlords bloodlust on yasuo, you now give up alot of power in the earlygame which might even lead to him not ever becoming as strong as he was before. fervor of battle on him is too good as it synergizes absurdly with his Q and E so i guess if noobs gonna take warlords, its good for me.

  2. stormraiders doesnt give you much laningpower and for a champion like nasus who allready doesnt have any laningpower, it would probably be his downfall.

  3. isnt deathfire touch still weaker than at release? so it doesnt matter i guess. and its still pretty weak on dots.

WAT? ARE YOU SERIOUS? FERVOR ON YASUO? so the 100% crit healing every auto an q isnt good enough for you? "noobs gonna take warlords", this guy is fucking dumb

FYI this is not close to my main account. this is my third account that i try weird stuff on.

He has a point tho... Warlords Bloodlust is OK on him, its not OP. Yasuo is a do or dont champion... Hes strength comes from a strong early game, if he doesnt manage to snowball early, hes not that good at late game. Since Warlords is a Late game mastery, your early game presence is not really good. And its not a Flat 25%... it goes up by lvl, 25% is at lvl 18, the starting % is 15%.... 15% health on a no health champ, that early game he get 3/10 hits on me, means that hes not sustaining enought for what im doing to him. On Low Elo he is considered "God" Champ, because most Low Elo players have no idea how to fight his kit. But in Regular and High Elo, hes actually not one of the most op champs there is. hes actually considered weak in high Elo.

Nasus is already an absuletely horrible champion to play against. As long as you dont kite and herass perfectly with a hard counter like Teemo and the Nasus isnt some kind of hardcore Nasus main, youre gonna have a hard time ""denying his farm"" when he just becomes unfightable and ignores most champs completely after 1 item lel.
