Buffing lethality was a horrible idea

Unlucky47··5 votes·659 views

In the same patch you nerf kha'zix and rengar and then buff items that benefit them directly. And the nerfs you did on them were so small that they actually just got indirectly buffed overall making them stronger than they already were. And now that jhin is one shotting me and mf is ult killing our entire team you should probably reconsider buffing lethality.

I actually 85% agree with you. I think they should tone Lethality back down however I think Rengar got a worse nerf than Khazix and that it actually helped tone him down a bit.

If anything they need to either A reduce the Lehtality of the items or B revert their changes. Champions like Jayce and Udyr have sky rocketed in dps due to this buff. They are doing insane amounts of damage at level 5.

I used to play a lot of khazix back when I didn't hate jungling and I used to even say he was one of the more balanced assassins. The rework that he got was a massive buff and I don't think they've done what they needed to to put him back in place. And that's a really good point because these items are made for assassins and like the marksmen currently they should not be leaking into other classes itemization like fighters. Along with some general changes/nerfs lethality needs something to make it unique to the ad assassin class and not useful for almost any ad based class.

Lethality did not get buffed in the most recent patch? I think it was buffed in 7.2

The patches are kind of running together for me and I probably should've done research. However, that doesn't change the point of the post and my argument still stands.

I personally don't know why armor pen needed much of a rework the current lethality is much stronger than armor pen ever was tbh

Armor pen was literally better until level 18 (which most games don't get to) and the only real difference other than that is that youmuu's gives more*[zombie-brand-facepalm]* And come to think of it, do you even remember the days of brutalizer

Do you really think that pre lethality armor pen was better than this patches lethality? I played riven either way with full armor pen and full lethality and have never done so much dmg with the stat this patches lethality along with next patches is probably still much better than old armor pen, and I'm not talking about brut I'm talking about the patches upcoming to lethality change.
