@Riot Balance team, please explain your thoughts behind this "unfair" way of nerfing
I'll make this as quick as possible. Annie and Morgana are both AP champions that have seen success as supports and therefore got nerfed by having their base values reduced, except that....
Annie had her AP ratios increased to not affect AP Annie: > Disintegrate > Base damage reduced to 80 / 115 / 150 / 185 / 220 from 85 / 125 / 165 / 205 / 245. > Ability power scaling increased to (+80% AP) from (+70% AP). > If Disintegrate kills its target, the cooldown is reduced by half (in addition to refunding the mana).
> Incinerate > Base damage decreased to 70 / 115 / 160 / 205 / 250 from 80 / 130 / 180 / 230 / 280. > Ability power ratio **increased **to (+85% AP) from (+75% AP).
> Summon Tibbers > Base damage decreased to 175 / 300 / 425 from 200 / 325 / 450. > Ability power ratio **increased **to (+80% AP) from (+70% AP). >
while Morgana got nerfed as a support and what's more important in this case, as an AP and for no real reason, she wasn't extremely popular as an AP and still got and is about to get nerfed.
> Black Shield > Base shield health reduced to 70/140/210/280/350 from 95/160/225/290/355.
> Soul Shackles > Base magic damage reduced to 150/225/300 from 175/250/325. > Total possible magic damage per target reduced to 300/450/600 from 350/500/650.
> PBE: Tormented Soil > Damage changed to 80/160/240/320/400 from 120/190/260/330/400 (full damage for 5sec, which never happens unless on still minions or cc chained targets)
...why treat them differently? this isn't about their support positions that you thought needed nerfs, I'm fine with that but why does only AP morg suffer from this?
Why is W nerf a bad thing?
Can't clear casters at rank 3 W anymore : one of her strengths, the clearing isn't instant and with a regular AP rune page and masteries it takes exactly 5 sec to kill them so it's not overpowered, other champions like lux and ziggs do it with their rank 5 E/Q instant spells with much lower cd.
Sustain nerfed: her passive and W are what keep her going early game, well not anymore. You are also indirectly nerfing her passive with all these damage nerfs...
Hurts AP Morgana the most: does riot really think this will stop support Morgana? you just nerfed lvl 1 to 9 of AP Morgana that maxes W first without making up for it by increasing the AP ratios...
Dear riot balance team, please revert this unneeded uncalled for PBE nerf and buff her AP ratios.
