Why is riot making damage creep higher

BoilTheOil··6 votes·638 views

With the new runes riot is making damage creep higher than before this is bullshit

Thunderlord's decree 10-180 + 30% of bonus ad + 10% AP already pretty strong. Now we have electrocute 50-220 + 50% bonus ad + 30% AP

The cooldown is higher and things like Gangplank ult and Zyra plants can't apply it instantly, but the damage is still so much higher than before.

Dark harvest is a new keystone is going to be awful for the game all it promotes snowballing and if you snowball your going to one-shot people no joke and if you don't snowball then it won't be very good. Combine this with Rengar ultimate item 3147 , Talon Q auto item 3147, Ekko E item 3100 and it's actually awful to play against I've played with it on the pbe multiple times and it's unhealthy for the game.

It's not just the keystones that are doing a ton of damage, but the masteries/runes too. The mastery merciless is being buffed from 3% bonus damage against champions that are below 40% health to 10% also if you get a kill you get a certain amount of ad/ap for a few seconds. Why such a big increase in damage I don't understand.

Sure its going into preseason, but I'm concerned about the balance of the new runes hopefully before the new season starts riot can make everything not one-shot

Base armor buffs on tanks did a lot. Played Leona earlier on pbe. At lvl 5, I got blitz grab combo'd (no ult, he wasn't 6 yet), Ashe ult and volley, with basic attacks from both. I walked back under turret (was about 2x turret range away) with quarter health left. I actually felt like a bit of a tank early on instead of feeling like I was made of cardboard before 3 items.

I'll have to look into that.

But it will get nerfed btw.


"ADCs and tanks are completely ruling the game." Riot Games: "I sleep."

"Urgot is viable." Riot Games: "Real shit?" nerfs urgot on pbe

Honestly, from playing on the PBE for weeks now, it feels like many champions do less and scale slower/more smoothly. Only two things that stand out thus far, in terms of damage, are Electrocute keystone and the Duskblade item.
