Juggernaut Rant
Preface: This is a semi-rant so don't downvote, or leave nasty comments just because you don't agree with my opinion. Now onto my rant! Ok let's go down the list of all of the Juggernauts now. Skarner has had to be HOTFIXED, because Riot did such a great job re-working him right guys? I haven't fought a Skarner yet; therefor, my rant on him ends here due to lack of experience. Hmmm.... Let's go onto Mordekaiser next. He can literally ONE-SHOT a tank, and he can out duel any other champion sans maybe Darius, or Garen (For obvious reasons). I played Hecarim into this guy. Hecarim of all champions who's typically fairly lane dominant, and uses that to roam to other parts of the map snowballing his team. I was pushed under tower all game. Mordekaiser then at level six chunked me for 75% (maybe closer to 80%) with a single skill, flash+ult+ignited me for an easy kill. I already had some tanky bits of items on me too; it wasn't like I was a squishy Lux, or something; I was Hecarim. Next broken part of Mord is his Dragon. So he managed to snag one early, and pushed down mid. This THING chunked my whole team, and the enemy team then proceeded to tower dive, get kills, and push down our mid inhib. (Note: this was a top lane Mord I wasn't doing some weird Hec bot kind of thing). Next is our quad of broken re-works is Garen, or as I call him screw-you-if-you're-snowballing-cuz-winning-isn't-allowed. It's a long name I know, but I think it's accurate. I was playing Rengar this game (Rengar top). I styled on this guy; I went 3/0/0 in lane with a final score of 10/3/6 the game in question. I like the idea of the villan don't get me wrong, but true damage IS NOT the way of implementing it. Story time! Ok so they were Baroning I stealthed, and jumped in assassinating Ahri, but not before a whopping 21% of my health was done in TRUE DAMAGE simply because I was the villain at the time. That's balanced right Riot? Don't you worry I saved the best for last, or the worst in this case. Darius.... This champion... I abhor this champion... Every Darius I've every played with has been toxic, and every enemy Darius just bullshits his way through the game even if you manage to SOMEHOW kill him in lane; which by the way IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE ALREADY. You gave him basically a free pentakill as his passive's passive, his damage is so front-loaded that I think I see power tools outside getting jealous. MEDDLER WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?! You want to buff this cancer giving scum bag's laning phase?! His laning phase is already more toxic to fight than Teemo's signature darts! HE HAS A MASSIVE TRUE DAMAGE ULT THAT GETS A RESET!!! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING WHEN YOU DESIGNED THAT RIOT?! Rant over; my final opinion of the juggernaut update: the items need nerfs to their numbers, the champions all need heavy nerfs, and gone unchecked I believe that this could actually kill League. I absolutely love this game. I love playing it, but some of the thing Riot has done baffle me. Tweak these things right, and we can have better champion diversity as well as item diversity. (Note: Yes I am bronze; it's because I don't play ranked much, but if you think me being bronze means I don't deserve an opinion then you need a reality check. This is MY opinion, and if you don't like it you don't have to agree with it.) TL;DR: The "Juggernauts" as Riot calls them are ALL ludicrously overpowered, and deserve heavy nerfs ESPECIALLY Darius despite what Meddler says. I love the game, but please balance these things.
