How to make a balanced champion, by Riot:

Niyumi··4 votes·533 views

Enable one single champion to carry a game by right-clicking on someone and INSTANTLY melting them, regardless of how tanky they are. Doesn't matter that you were feeding your ass off all game, because you built a bunch of AS and lifesteal. And, you know, since they have SUCH a hard time doing their damage (right-click and AFK), we're goinna give them a free Frozen Mallet that gets stronger the more items you build, and a 3.5s stun that's global range, AoE damage, and the single most broken keystone in the game.

But hey, she just got a legendary skin! You wouldn't DARE nerf her now!

Ring a bell? Could it be Ashe? Nah, couldn't be! Riot gives a fuck about their game outside of income potential! They would NEVER let a champion be blatantly OP while they milk the playerbase! Heavens no!

It's just totally balanced, healthy gameplay for Ashe to be able to instantly kill a 3.6k Rene in his ult with 120 armor and Tabi's passive. Yeah! It's totally balanced for her to instantly kill a full tank Naut with 5k health and 220 armor! Yeah!

NOT TO WORRY THOUGH! Rito is here! We'll nerf her ult damage, and make her Q last 1 second less. THAT'LL fix her broken interaction with Fervor, and make her not instantly melt anything she clicks on! Yeah! We care about our game, trust us.

Honestly Riot, I really fucking hate you -- you and every greedy F2P company out there.

Still better then Lucian

Thing about Lucian is that he was never that strong to begin with. Everyone hyped up that Korean build, and, even though he lost nearly all his sustained damage, people freaked out because he was a bit burstier. His "nerf" was about the same as taking 3 AD off of Vayne, and really didn't change much at all.

Ashe, on the other hand, has always been strong. And with the recent addition of Fervor, and a legendary skin to protect her from nerfs, she can quite literally just push Q and seemingly turn on some kind of damage hack, deleting even a hyper tank like Naut instantly. Combined with her free Frozen Mallet, absurd utility, and her global range stun... she's beyond broken.

ADCs do feel like they can grow past their weaknesses late game. That's how I see it anyway.

I'm of the mind that ADCs have no real weaknesses. They have an item for every situation, and can build out of anything. The only way you can actually beat them is to kill them faster than they kill you -- which is hard to do because of how easy it is to stack lifesteal, and how they are the burstiest, most sustained damage in the game.
