It would be cool if riot could balance this game so I don't have to dodge...

... and lose 10 lp every time the enemy picks draven - janna. There's so much stupid shit to ban, it's really sad. Then the new patch comes and they fucking buff akali and yasuo. Like what is the balance team really doing there ? I don't understand, I really don't..

first yas is now not buffed anymore, janna and draven and ardent are now getting nerfed, so hopefully that cures your twisted nipples

Are you drunk? Because that would cause a shitload of balancing issues.

Oh man the balancing issues would be fucking through the roof. Along with complaints.

I mean balance issues are already through the roof.

True, most of the power in the support items, along with stone plate. Jesus the locket shield, even though it only lasts for 2.5 seconds and decays. However it helps block something that is very dangerous. The meta to me is all about utility at the moment.

Morellonomicon?

Seriously?

An item that gives 100 AP, 400 flat mana, 20% CDR, massive mana return on kills and assists, 2900 cost, the best fucking build path in the game in the game, and GW because fuck over bruisers. At least bruisers, who have Cleaver/Trinity, are forced to build pure defensive options to exist.

Morellonomicon has 0 downsides and dictates the entire mid lane meta right now. The item is obviously overloaded and bloated. Negate mana costs, massive AP, 20% CDR, and the free "fuck bruisers" status effect with the cheapest cost ever.

Another Akali buff? Didn't she just get a little boost recently?

Another Akali buff? Didn't she just get a little boost recently?

Yup, but she's still not being played to much effect. She can stomp pubs, sure, but she gets shut out very easily and tends to get bopped by ranged champions and decently-coordinated teams with at least a little bit of hard CC.

Akali has been in an awkward spot for a while since she tears through people, given the lead to get at least half an item ahead of her opponent. She also has a knack for easily becoming one of the most useless champions in the game when behind, provided your team has ANY hard CC to throw at her.
