@RIOT How does riot decide base hp stats?

yeah it was just what i thought its probably more complicated but also i think its different just to have difference not much reason behind it most likely.

I'm kinda thinking it has to do with their positioning in fights. Vayne is usually in the front line because she is a very short range ADC, Ashe, Cait and Jhin are long range, and they rely on having solid front lines, so through good positioning, they shouldn't normaly be in much arms way.

Just my theory.

Sion has low base HP because he has infinetly scaling HP.

Yet his Low base HP requires him to get a huge amount of CS to even brake even in HP with other tanks at LVL 18

They need to buff his base HP scaling per level by 150-200 by LVL 18, he is a "late game scaler" through infinate scaling. Yet he has better win rate at shorter games than longer ones, because survival scales worse than damage in general and he would need to get A LOT of CS to even start breaking even with other tanks

Base stats (no items) needs to be readjusted on a lot of champs since the item changes, heck ADC (who are supposed to be weak early game but scale into monsters) are able to easily out trade many supports (who are meant to be the kings of base stats with poor scaling) early game since the AD item changes, adc reworks, and in general S6

For example for Sion I would nerf his base HP (LVL 1) by 100, but make his HP per level return 600-700 more HP at LVL 18

He had infinite scaling hp before the rework and had decent base health. Having lots of HP is supposed to be part of his theme.

And yet, he has to farm whole game just to break even with other tanks.
