Enough buffs, next patch we need NERFS, and lots of them

Champs that have been S tier for multiple patches that are untouched :

Akali Camille Evelynn Graves Graves Irelia Jax Kassadin Kassadin Kassadin Pyke SionJhin Jhin Lucian

All need significant nerfs, stop with damage creep by buffing shit like Khazix damage (like wtf, who in the world thought he needed MORE DAMAGE?), hes also probably gonna need that buff reverted.

Start by changing duskblade and stormrazor after that nerf the damage of every single champ, then nerf everything that's strong.

Hem... We are basically in October :D 19 patches. Worse and worse. They've expliticly admitted that their "balancing" isn't for who actually plays their game, but only for a couple of dudes in LCS.

Why are you still hoping they're gonna do something reasonable? :P

Homogenizing everyone til the point that it all feels the same, and then most of the players quit like in WoW?

Didn't every champion at the dawn of League feel the same and yet it still turned out to be one of the most successful games?

Hell, some champions still feel the same now (cough Aatrox and Riven cough)

Champs were capable of being more homogenized during old runes because you could patch weaknesses with stats. Game was 1000% more fun and balanced.

So much this. This game has been extremely unbalanced ever since the new runes. The extremity between meta and nonmeta is just ugly now. Before off meta I could still do well. Now its an uphill battle. I think one good step would be to separate the stats from the runes and let them be customized.

Or just remove runes and masteries.

Dota 2 has been kicking league’s ass in game balance since the game released, and they do it because dota heroes are so wildly different. Removing the system that makes each class take the same things would be a step towards this

Like what riot said theoretically made some sense. If people are keeping the same ad/ap/pen/regen runes every game, might as well remove those and buff the champions in those areas up to where they were. Not brooding on the fact that they didn't do that, the problem comes from the runes we often swapped in and out, the health, the mr, the armor, THE MOVE SPEED! Sometimes it was better to have scaling health or health regen than flat health or armor/mr. There are so many champions in the game that interact with you in so many ways, the ability to change stats like these to be prepared before your first item meant those who learned the game were rewarded by dying much less in lane. What I'm getting to is that stats like these can change with the match up and thus should be the primary candidates for runes reforged slots. Damage in its current rune form is simply not needed and even if riot wants to spice things up outside of experimental items by just skipping straight to cooky passives/actives the way they've done with some runes, it should've been done side to side with the promised stats we lost with old runes.

actually he's not wrong. If they buff everything it will be balanced as before. Just instead of everyone doing 1 dmg (an example) everyone will be doing 2 dmg

Keep buffing everyone and everything you get what we have now, people killing eachother in less than 2 seconds and team fights that only last 5-9 seconds.

Too Late,.. fifteen years too late.

Akali just needs is a nerf to her shroud like when under enemy tower, keep the tower won't target her unless leave shroud but after half duration has elapsed make her targetable by champion abilities. 8 seconds of being zoned under your own tower for no trade off is stupid.

I cannot support a thread which throws shade at Jax, but I agree nerfs are needed for everyone on your apart from Jax.

how? jax is so ridiculous rn. He can actually 1v9 currently, which no other champ in the game can do, or should realistically be able to do given how the game works.

Nami doesn't need nerfs. Wtf. She's pretty balanced right now. Only a high winrate because she thrives in this meta compared to other supports.

She's been sleeper broken overpowered for several months straight. The champ is pure cancer in lane and needs to be nerfed.

No she has not been that. Pure cancer is Pyke. Nami is fine.

But she's not OP. She just has a good kit that goes well with the meta.

limebuster3 votes

i agree completely with you here, regardless of the winrates some of them have, they are all extremely opressive to play against right now due to the sheer little counterplay most of the champions u have stated have, with this little counterplay and extremely good kits with great damage, the champions deserve nerfs and its time for the balance team to crack down on them.

Katarina Nerf her harder so that she becomes the legitimate worst champion in the game. Then they can revert her rework, giving us the Shunpo we deserve, one with a low cast time. [katarina-love]

kassadin is good right now because of his lane sustain build with fleet footwork and taste of blood/ravenous hunter Overall he is in a very decent spot right now but i don't think it is nerf worthy (and i don't even play kassadin) I don't know how many games i've been winning when suddenly the 1/6 kasssadin hits late game and starts oneshotting people but his early game weakness is still easily abusable (by no means is he unbearably strong) In fact, there is no champion in your list that i think deserves a nerf (with the exception of akali, that champion is sadly stupid retarded) Everything else has abusable points in the game and can be outplayed. I think riot should only nerf champions that are truly broken. You have to consider that every time they nerf a champion they lose a portion of the playerbase who devoted time and energy into that champion just so that people like YOU can have an easier time playing the game. They need to consider whether it is truly worth the nerf and if it;s actually justified. It can leave people feeling frustrated. Like, i hated zoe too, i thought she was pure cancer to lane against and to play against but i still agree that she has a high learning cap and takes skill to master. I didn't agree with her nerfs and think that she would have been fine the way she was (even though she was cancer)

No, damage creep happened because the core defensive fundamental was taken away, defense runes.

Man. I super love you for pointing out the damage that taking away old runes did.

Riot did however adjust stats a to compensate a bit. Defensive runes being taken away is not the only reason that damage creep is happening; OP champs and items are also reasons.

Unpopular opinion If you nerf S tiers, other S tiers will apear If you buff champions to be able to compete with S tiers, the S tiers will have more champions S tiers will always be a thing. If you nerf say S tier kassadin, another S tier will stand out and people will beg for nerfs Riot just needs to buff the right champions not fucking khazix or darius

Or they could stop listening to people like you and slow down with the damn buffs and send out a nerf or two. Apparently Pyke is/was terrorizing High elo.

Wait Kassadin doesn't feel like shit to play anymore!??

Infernape6 votes

Nope. Fleet Footwork, Taste of Blood and Ravenous Hunter for runes and starting Corrupting Potion then getting a early Dark Seal basically erases his early game weakness. The sustain is godly.
