@Riot You need to be more agile!

DW Diana··2 votes·235 views

It just occurred to me that Riots biggest problem is they aren't agile. I use agile as in the business term.

Example: Aatrox. This guy has needed a rework for so long most people had forgotten he existed until riot decided to nerf, I mean MINI-REWORK him last year. They've continued to hint at a rework and we might actually get to see it in the next couple of months! The problem is its too late! He's actually not in a bad spot right now! You missed the boat! And chances are the rework will do more harm than good!

Ahri is also getting some changes which, while being interesting, are completely unnecessary!

Meanwhile they nerf champions to the ground, and rather than going "oh shit we went a bit far there!" And fix it, they just leave them because they're too busy working on the changes to X champion that were needed over a year ago!

This isn't to say Aatrox doesn't deserve the rework, and Irelia is great imo, I just think if you break it, you should fix it and riot seems to take a LONG time to do anything.

Ahri does need some changes, as i see her now, she has only her Q to deal damage. Her W it's mostly a joke RN, and her E .. i guess it's decent. Aatrox Rework, based on hes old lore, might actually come out as even better than it is now. I expect something like "Charge In, kind of champion" like Kled, but different. They aren't fixing things, because they don't need to be fixed. Well some do, but i find most of the champions enjoyable to be played as/against.

It called priority. A system doesn't need to be perfect to work, the same goes for champions being viable. Ahri is and for the first time in my league memory so is aatrox, meanwhile many champions who really need some changes are being left in the sorry state riots bad balancing decisions have left them. Fix what's broken when you break it, then work on improving/reworking other champions later.

Don't get me wrong the recycling of champions for profit makes perfect sense from a business point of view, but I would like to think riot are more than just Blizzard mk2.
