Should a nerfed CotC work at half effectiveness on soft cc as well?
Should Grasp's ratios be inverted, so as to help some tanks and juggernauts get past the laning phase against Jayce and the like?
Should bond of Stone receive a series of 0.5% buffs until it's acceptably strong again, while we wait for it to be replaced?
Also I dig the idea of only having keystones, so that you have more visible power from masteries and less overall damage amplification and shits'n'giggles.
Ralanr1 votesNo. I don't want to see anyone being able to use it by buying a Rylai's and I certainly don't want Mundo to have it. Darius can use it effectively and look at that's effected him.
Idk. Having it be sustain and damage based on your health is just tricky.
Replace Bond. It doesn't feel interactive at all.
Photos of Ghosts1 votesI kinda agree on 1, but once the hard-cc case is balanced (they're nerfing it again), a halved version of it with the same cooldown might not be such an issue. If anything, the exception should be introduced where champions with hard cc in their kit can't activate the halved version.
For 2, I just think we need a sustain-heavy option for tankies, don't know if Grasp is a good one tho. We have Titanic for the damage part, so why not focus on the sustain?
3: sure, but in the meantime it doesn't make sense for it to be kept unusable. Just progressively buff it to where it's just below the power level of the others, so it's a good option when your champ can't use the others.
Ralanr1 votesBut if Bond is actually a viable choice then Riot will have less reasons to remove it.
Photos of Ghosts1 votesEh. I mean, Swain is perfectly viable and Riot still wants to rework him - he might even come before Nunu, who's way less viable.
Ralanr1 votesThey want to rework Swain because he doesn't actually fit his theme (he actually has two themes which is a bit awkward archetype wise) and because sustain damage mages are rather difficult to balance.
