5.16. Is it a massive troll by doritosgames?

You nerf armor to also buff mr without any actual reason whatsoever to do this. Now all builds will be completely fucked up for a month (oh yeah and you're buffing adc's, even though they're already really strong already), with absolutely no good thing coming with it.

You're removing tank junglers from the game (cinderhulk was already the worst or the second worst jungle item, if you actually bother to do the math)

You buff darius, a champion whose already really annoying, so having him be overpowered is horrifying. Though the worst part of this is that you didn't do remotely what you told use you would: Make him less of a lane-bully "win the early-game or go home" champion.

You garen garen garen garengaren. I seriously don't have any idea what to say about this. Though it seems pretty cool.

You drastically nerf skarner and mordekaiser in favor for new shitty teamplay mechanics.

You buff lee sin You buff lissandra (both stupid ideas)

You give lucian a fair buff.

No seriously I can't imagine that riot would actually be stupid enough to do this. So i'm guessing it's a massive troll? Like to teach this community a lesson or something?

they gave some justification for the armor/MR changes: Making way for "powerful new defensive items"

what those items are I don't know. Hopin' it's not strictly referring to hydra/gage.

cinderhulk's early and midgame stats are actually buffed, mathwise: Takes a good bit of bonus HP for the extra 10% to outweigh the immediate +100.

Darius is pretty much the same, if not easier to lane against if he's bad/worse than you are (Q's a lot easier to screw up and you can itemize better against him)

Garen's changes seem ehh.

skarner unsure about - sure, his new passive is gimmicky as hell, dude can also somewhat reliably stun you now.

Morde's an experimental mess that I'm 95% sure will need number buffs to be functional. Does seem like he -could- work, though.

Doubt that reason is good enough to justify it.

Well, now that I think about it, you're pretty right. Though still, the armor changes has made jungle sustain worse, and it also ruined one of cinderhulk's favorite items: Omen of war.

The only 2 nerfs on him were the Q animation time, lower damage on his ult and barely visibly lower damage on his passive stacks (they still scale like crazy). That wasn't nearly enough to compensate for the buffs.

His passive is pretty much just as good for him self as his enemies, his Q was nerfed, his ult was nerfed, his stats were nerfed (quite heavily too), his W was buffed a tiny bit and his E got a pretty big nerf. They Absolutely gutted Skarner with this, and I really hope they fix that passive (make it non-useable for enemies and maybe a little less situational) before it hits live, while also reverting the stat nerfs.

Not only number buffs, but also a fix to how he can ONLY enslave a dragon, and NOT ANYTHING ELSE
