So you wouldn't have to keep gutting new releases after their kits proved to be overbearing or OP in pro? Could've sworn you said you'd do that like....eight times. Still waiting on that.
In morde's case they didn't even nerf his ult. Just lowered his base stats. His kit isn't really overbearing
Riot prefers it when single champions ruin games for others
Ive become convinced there is some sort of cash prize for or office pot for "over/under" pick/ban rate in pro play.
Theyre all out to have the "new hotness" champ that has to be played or avoided because of their kits impact.
Pro games are mostly new champs and reworks with a few counter picks and standby reliable champs. Braum, just one example, is simple, effective, and most notably, reliable in contribution. Still Kaisa, Urgot, Aatrox, Irelia, Sylas, Akali are new or reworked and show up in every match nearly.
I dont know if its incentivized, cultural, or something else... but the power creep in the form of "mega kit overloading" started a while back. Ekko was probably the first champ where overloading became standard. Like Akali he came out way overloaded, and way overpowered.
So like the addict that knows their actions hurt others, they cant seem to stop themselves from doing/using (insert abused substance/action). Just like Riot knows theyre making their game a balance nightmare, they cant seem to stop themselves from overloading or over tuning reworks and new releases.
I consiser new mord really not that bad. Maybe a small nerf but its way better than release Xin Zhao or Ahri.
Who could've thought that removing old champions would cause problems.
MORDEKAISER IS BALANCED AS HE IS, you guys are just almost entirely irons, bronzies, and atmost silvers that haven't adjusted to fighting an ap darius yet.
Way back when they said that Nidalee being able to chunk you from out of sight with her spear was unfun and they would never do that again.
Do you remember them saying that, Zoe?
Tee-hee
The hotfix seems like it hit. Morde is scary but I don't think he's any scarier than say Illaoi or Darius etc.
