Before you nerf Camille

Swarovsko··5 votes·1,120 views

I don't know if you guys are planning to nerf Camille, but I'm pretty sure that you will eventually nerf her since everyone is crying because she's """""op""""", so before you nerf Camille take your time and don't let her be Taliyah and AurelionSol 2.0. Learn from your mistakes and don't exceed with the nerfs, like you did with Tali.

Taliyah needed to be Toph, and ended up being Pebbles, the Magical Rock Tosser.

Give me my full-frontal, all-business, close-range rock mage with scary potential the closer you get to her. The weird positioning game they tried to play with her mines would have been better fit to a design like Heimerdinger, where they could easily have just put her at the fringe of the fight.

The Worked Ground mechanic and rocks theme seemed to fit better to a champion who wanted to bring the fight right up to her opponent-- Taliyah decidedly wants none of this, and instead dances around creating 'low poke zones' for herself. This probably results in a lot of zoning.

Well that's another argument but I agree. I feel like Riot needed to do more work on Tali. I don't know, her passive, W and E give me the idea that Riot forced her release without even thinking if the champ was going to work. "WOW! THIS WORKED GROUND THING, ULT AND PASSIVE FIT PERFECTLY HER NOMADIC HISTORY!" End of the story. I still like her, her look, the fact that she's not the typical oversexualized character but is a more realistic girl, her lore, her personality ecc... But I believe she could've been a better champ.

That cartoon was terrible and I disliked Taliyah purely on that basis..... yes that is petty.

I guess I should want every champion to be balanced but I can't force myself to like such a character.

What do you mean when you say "learn from your mistakes"?. According to Riot games that word is not on the dictionary.

Taliyah holds the record for fastest unnecessary nerfs as far as I remember

I'm still salty about that ult nerf in 6.15 (I think?) and that W change...

The W change was fine, Im talking about the gutting of the overall damage ouput

https://champion.gg/champion/Camille 50% win rate. 4% play rate.

Seems reasonable, nerf unnecessary.

What I'm trying to say is that she surely needs to be nerfed but not deleted from the game itself, which is what Riot usually does when a champ is too strong at its release.

And I proved that you were wrong.
