After getting towerdoven at lvl 6 by chain vest ornn from full health
I really have to question the mental capacity of this so called "live design team" and the VERY vocal small minority of people who cry for tank buffs every other day.
If the only way to make tanks work is make them bully bruisers out of the laning phase maybe they are just shitdesign and should not be viable?
How about you stop buffing the shit out of tanks? The only ones who have to deal with this shit are toplaners who get their entire champion pool reduced to like four champs they can pick or they int. Just think about that ornn gets sunfire cape a THOUSAND gold before i get my trinity. A THOUSAND FUCKIN GOLD. The only way to make tanks work is overstat the shit out of them and undercost their items and all that happens again is they automatically win the laning phase by pressing two buttons off cooldown until you have to recall or you die. Man what a laning phase. I don't like interacting with the minion wave or my opponent, going for small trades, all in, denying him the all in. I don't like mechanical microplay. Nono i like standing behind my minion wave and get pushed in because everytime i try to auto a minion i get an ornn W auto grasp procc for half my health bar at lvl 3. I like ornn pressing Q and W off cooldown until he bullied you out of laning phase. THAT is the gameplay i like. I like playing the least impactful lane made even less impactful because i can never interact with my opponent because he automatically beats me from lvl 1 and outscales me hoping my botlane wins the game. THAT is the gameplay toplaners like, brought to you by adc mains and mage mains crying for tank buffs. Because they all love playing tanks in toplane. As adc mains and mage mains.
But smart boards figured out CONQUEROR is the real problem. A keystone now only used by like five champions (again) that doesn't even make them good bar riven because its fuckin riven oh and irelia because lemme tell you, it is irelia who you often see with PTA now anyways. So there is the tank that just needs to hit the minions to procc grasp and auto me once for burst dmg, healing, and permanent health. Then there is the bruiser that has to attack him five times just to get a real keystone that is also shit. There is mages who poke you from range and also get a keystone that let them do more poke (arcane comet) altering nothing about their gameplay and if they want they get poke on top of their poke (scorch). Supports who shield and heal a lot shield and heal a bit more playing the same way as always and that's fine (aery). Tanks do what they do and tank and get even tankier for using their abilities (aftershock). ADCs get a heal and movementspeed buff for doing what they always do (walk around and auto from range). Combo based champions (mostly assassins) who deal a lot of burst dmg play the same way as always and get more burst on top of their burst (electrocute).
You see a pattern here? Somehow bruisers are the only class that are not allowed to have a keystone on demand no they have to play minigames which you also find in all their kits. They all have mechanics and minigames to play before they become actual champions. And as a thank you we get trinity/steraks destroyed, tiamat nerfed for no reason (oh they wanted to hit junglers ehehehe) every champion nerfed directly a patch after they become good or show up in pro play. We get the most expensive items that are only good if you can snowball and to make sure you never snowball a bruiser has to play half the game without a keystone and gets sat in front of an ornn or a mage or a jayce who automatically wins because their champions are just so much better.
Man what a great gameplay i'm so glad riot is not a bunch of biased shitheads. Keep listening to the boards and reddit. They know it, they lost to a conq vlad bruiser in their promos. That means bruiser are overpowaaad.
Do me a favor and finally get a toplaner on your live design so bruiser mains have a place in this game. What a fuckin shitshow this game is. Seriously, what is the reason to keep buffing tanks? THEY DO NOT WORK IN THEIR CURRENT STATE without ruining the game and making toplane even less impactful. JUST STOP.
