I think we should nerf Repertoir

I mean, the dude is fucking broken.

Post in every thread and answer everything on the Boards.

Pays attention to every idea made by the community.

Adjusts his reworks based on community feedback.

Knows how to take sarcasm and likes to joke with us.

Repertoir is seriously out-classing every other Rioter right now, he's practically permabanned. I suggest we nerf his numbers, so he's less overwhelming to the game or we bring up the Rioters to his level, so they won't feel like dumpstered when faced against an enemy Repertoir.

Bioluminescence is also pretty broken. He's (I think it's a he?) not often seen because he's a niche pick in Story & Art, but his kit is pretty OP as well.

Can confirm. Bio's Global presence was nerfed in same patch with TF and Phantheon's, but can still gank you from mid lane to bot.

Eh. I very occasionally roam. Definitely not a normal jungle pick though. (And Jeddy017 is correct.)

(And I have SUPREME respect for what Repertoir is doing. Teach me your secrets, Master!)

Nah,let's just rework him into a more balanced state.I think Riot Repertoire is the right person to handle this rework.

Agreed, right now he can burst 100-0 my irritation with Riot with one post.

Jeddy017Aug 16, 20159 votes

We can't have that,he's should do that with every 3rd post.

Mistress MadokaAug 16, 20156 votes

Also his "R - Balance Feedback" should get a Passive that turns QQ threads into his own slaves to farm top lane

acepil0tAug 17, 20157 votes

With %max HP true damage, right?

Big ball-of-stats jack-of-all-trades Rioter with 0 counterplay free stats too much mobility between threads too gold efficiency increase his gold cost / salary

But... but... shouldn't we focus on buffing the others so they can compete at his level?

I like the way you think

That would just lead to consistency creep

ArchenzAug 16, 201512 votes

I hate the balance team for this game.

Repetoir is fucking broken and the dev teams says

"better nerf certainlyT"

Ariel the CruelAug 17, 20152 votes

And yet, they end up nerfing RiotSchmuck instead.

FadedpfAug 16, 20159 votes

Meddler is still bad ass and he gives you hard info about what you are asking, unless he can't reveal any info just yet. But Repertoir is responding to things like crazy, maybe because riot was getting some shit about not caring about us. Seeing reds every day is nice.

Ariel the CruelAug 17, 20155 votes

Eh, Meddler is just a heavy farm jungler. You don't normally see him until cinch moments. Then you realize the rest of the team is just there as back-up.

Valor BotAug 16, 20158 votes

Ok, but we'll need to go through some PBE testing for this first. Many have cited his ultimate "Everywhere at Once" to be an already extremely satisfying ability in its current state.

WolfChasesAug 16, 20158 votes

Omg...A NERF? Dodge the spear and stop bitching...

RozzetaAug 16, 201511 votes

But, but... do I pink ward the spear before or after I dodge it?

WolfChasesAug 16, 20158 votes

Before ofc, it's invisible when thrown out of fog of war xD

ElegantDogeAug 16, 20158 votes

Just make his keyboard access a skillshot.

KougaAug 16, 20156 votes

Hm. I've been off the boards for a bit; is he a new Rioter? Because I swear I've been posting up the most detailed and thought out feedbacks, proposals and ideas and have never gotten a single decent Riot response.

So Many Gorramn Threads

Those were all before Repertior started coming on the Boards. He's only been here for a few weeks.

ArchenzAug 16, 20153 votes

Sorry sir, that was before the age of Repe the Pepe.

Make a new thread now if you wish, and he will answer

OyddAWqJ5rAug 16, 20156 votes

CertainlyT be like: I can rework him into a "healthier" state, trust me ;)

SalronAug 16, 20154 votes

Nah man we need to buff all other Rioter to his level

DesideriumAug 16, 20154 votes

He's not as great as you think. He doesn't care for intelligent, long-term discussions about singular topics, and he generally pops his head into a thread, asks a question along the lines of "hey guys how do you feel about this" then never goes back to that thread again, leaving people with hollow smiles.

I'd rather take no smile over the hollow ones he passes out.

This is why he has time to respond to so many threads. It's a good thing. It's the way you get feedback:

Ask questions
Read answers
Acknowledge that you heard the answers
Make changes based on those answers

He often goes back and edits his single post on the thread with feedback he's read in the thread, satisfying 1, 2, and 3. Then he acts on it -- 4. Interaction doesn't need to be huge amounts of back and forth for it to be useful.

True. He also has made note of reading public opinion by stating his analysis of it in other threads, like when those #BuffSona2015 threads popped up.

Doctor IvelliusAug 16, 20156 votes

From what I've seen, his questions basically always get to the heart of the matter and show that he's paying attention to community concerns.

I think he is a collective of many different individuals who all call themselves by one name. It's seems pretty suspicious that he is remaking champions, fixing code bugs and also able to respond to every thread on the forum all at the same time.

Plot twist, Repertoir is Kalista

Diananmen SquareAug 16, 20153 votes

We should make his posts a skillshot instead of a targeted ability.

BooriinAug 16, 20153 votes

Please don't nerf him before he change my beloved Sona item 3070

IGotScuttleCrabsAug 16, 20153 votes

What if we buff the other Rioters up to his level? We'll call it the Repertoir Bar

LeeDarkAug 16, 20152 votes

Watch his next champion design be utter crap because he spent too much time on the forums. That would be hilarious.

Ariel the CruelAug 17, 20152 votes

Then just keep is current level of access and put him in PR. He seems to be doing a lot of good in that department at the moment.

IntakiNineAug 16, 20152 votes

Don't worry, the community will run him out of town eventually. Just like all the others before him.

Ariel the CruelAug 17, 20152 votes

But we can at least enjoy it while it lasts.

BlainezyAug 16, 20152 votes

But don't forget to give him compensation buffs after he gets nerfed.... Veigar

Calibretto9Aug 17, 20152 votes

It's true. Repertoir too stronk. I made feedback on the Garen changes on PBE and Repertoir actually listened and implemented. OP.

EvilRabbittAug 17, 20152 votes

I tried to ask why fiora's passive didn't work on jungle. No reply on either (other than me) and my second attempt got moved from Gameplay and Balance to Boards Feedback. <----You aren't allowed to ask for clarification.
