Champion Feedback for some Champion Designers.
This is what I would say to every Champion Designer at Riot (that I know of) besides the obvious CertainlyT. All champion designers found here I found in this thread http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=370626 after an awful ARAM game, where I found out the two most frustrating and unbalanced champions on the enemy team were made by the same guy. Maybe post below what you would say to a Riot champion designer?
Brackhar - I don't want to see half your champions on my team, they're that bad, the few I would be okay with seeing on my team are Cassiopeia and Nidalee, I'm fine with Nidalee on the enemy team, easy to beat as long as I can see her spears, but I don't want to see Cassiopeia on the enemy team. Most of your champions shouldn't be in the game IMO. They ruin the fun for one side at least. You also seem to like reworking Snare champions, yet somehow you didn't think to make Ryzes snare a skill shot, I'm disappointed. Idr any Morgana rework so I can't complain there, but she's my favorite of this list. (Since Nidalee is old Nidalee who couldn't all in very well)
Coronach - Please stop with the burst, you really really seem to love burst, and it's very unfun, especially on Fighters. Shyvana is fine (as long as you nerf Devourer since it makes many champs OP) however Olaf, Wukong, Poppy, Udyr, Mordekaiser and a bunch of Assassins? Bursty Fighters are the worst type of Fighters for this game, doing good damage is fine, but 100-0ing people quickly while being durable is dumb. Fighters need damage, but not all at once.
Ezreal - For the most part you're champions are fine, but when you make a bullshit champion, you make a ridiculously bullshit champion, I don't understand how Nasus and Teemo make it into the game, Nasus has no counterplay, and is by far the most unfun champion to go against as a melee top laner, Teemo on the other hand, has two options, lane bully top laner which is outrageously unfun to play against, or terrible mid/adc/jungler, that is super useless and probably losing lane hard. Also fuck Vladimir, I am sure all of you at Riot are thinking the same, I've heard Vladimir is the champion you regret making most, and I think while he's not the worst one to make it to live, you're right to regret him. Also you made two bursty Fighters, Irelia and Jarvan, please don't do that any more. PS: Don't work with Guisinoo anymore, Ryze, Cho'Gath, and Singed are all annoying to go against as well.
Fantasy World - Please don't make point and click high damage harass. A skill shot would have been fine.
FeralPony, you're champions are all easy to play and frusterating to play against, I don't know what you were going for but generally it's better if games don't end in rage quits and surrenders, so maybe go back in time and make Fizz require skill and Rumble to not exist.
Geeves - I don't get it, how can all of you champions be so strong and then you make Miss Fortune? How does that happen, all your champions are nearly impossible to kill, but very easy to get kills as, and then you make Miss Fortune, a 325 movement speed adc, that has no other mobility besides a passive which almost always negatively affects her, aka the troll passive.
Guisinoo - you seem to really like point and click, easy stuff. it's like playing WoW but having less to memorize, If two point and click champions fight each other it's pretty easy to see who wins and that same champion will win every time, it's not a skill thing, it's just pressing all your abilities. I suggest adding more skill shots into the game. Get used to 2015 where we don't need our hands held by our champions to get a kill. Also, fuck level advantages, you suck.
Meddler - This is alright, I mean some people might not like fighting Ziggs, but he's easy to not die to, really more of a skill thing.
RJCombo - Make your champions use less mana per ability, if you're champion can't kill someone with their mana pool, mana costs are probably too high.
Shureliya - I'm trying to decide if it would be worth it to not have you exist as a Riot designer, I mean I really like Lux, but would I give that up to get rid of all your other bullshit. Idk, but I hate Pantheon and his point and click easy win playstyle.
Volty - You knew what you were doing, thanks for making champions that are fair, and fun to play and play against, until you made Xerath, I so badly want to punch you in the nuts for that but honestly, S2-3 Skarner was worth the endless aggravation I get from fighting a champion who is hitting me at my tower, from his tower with every single ability, and dominating ARAM. Volibears too OP but at least he has what Skarner doesn't, Skarners identity as an inescapable duelist.
Xypherous - Not bad, all very fair, you're probably my favorite designer from the point this thread was made http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=370626 Idk if you've screwed up since then, but can you make the next champion? I want something fun to play against.
Hephastopheles - You are by far the worst champion designer in the game, I can complain about CertainlyT and his whole overloaded kits, how is Darius a thing? How does riot see Yasuos free lane win as fair? Honestly though, I think of you and I think you should be making champions for Dota instead Talon cannot possibly be balance, if he ever does enough damage to kill someone he will need immediately hot fixing, and if he doesn't he's still annoying and yet nobody wants to play him as an assassin that doesn't 100-0. Then you have Viktor, the champion that can 100-0 you will just his ultimate, His Lasers are bullshit, and his point and click is annoying sure, but his ultimate just overshadows all that, it's supposed to get closer as it moves away, but with a shield like Viktors you walk with it and the person dies in the fast moving cloud, just a second in that stupid cloud melts you, I know you think your champ is high skill, but he's not, he's unusual so it takes practice to get used to, but he's pretty low skill once you're used to it.
Most of all though Jayce, how is this a thing? Every 16 seconds he gets an attack stronger than most ultimates, imagine if Syndra could ult every 16 seconds? It's not just Jayces bullshit Q, but all 5 of his other abilities. Yea that's right 5 other abilities and just 1 is that strong, every single one of them is strong, if you take a look at other 6 ability champions usually they got a few shitty ones, like Nidalee trap, or Elise human Q, but every Jayce ability is better than Talons ultimate, which is still very strong. Some times games have a "Jack of all trades, master of none" Jayce is like "Jack of all trades, master of only half of them" He can 100-0 melees in a second with a point and click just like an assassin, while being pretty durable considering he has no fucking tank items at all. He can boost his AS to max for 3 autos which fucking hurt, 1 EQ then 3 autos in a second and you die, that's ranged form alone. You have to close gaps on Jayce twices because after the first time he knocks you away, he's fast, like honestly, you shouldn't work in balancing, I'm not even sure you should work at Riot alone, just out of fear of you contaminating the minds of others and making another Jayce.
Jayce is made to look like superman, and he has all the strengths of superman, including the being completely overpower and boring. Some of the lowest counter play, you need to implement an item in the shop that instakills Jayce for 200g, call it Piltover Knight. Finally there will be a way to balance Jayce.
