Riot: When Are You Going To Stop Ignoring Champs Like Kalista and Nidalee?

Kivolan··7 votes·376 views

The last few patches have just seen League go down the crapper. For months now, I feel like every single person on these forums has told you exactly how they feel about playing against Kalista... And thus far, it's pretty much been ignored. I pretty much feel like we have a new Nidalee. Instead of taking care of the things that your playerbase want done, you've decided to continue screwing around with game balance by introducing some really gamebreaking new items... That you also seem to be ignoring (Congrats on moving the late game dominance of Fizz / Jax / XinZhao / etc. to level 6 or so with the addition of Devourer and Runeglaive, by the way).

Nidalee's kit needs a rework. Plain and simple. I know you're pretty much 100% concerned with making sure that she stays top tier in some regard (Runeglaiveeeee) but her jungle clear speed / sustain is ridiculous. Take out her heal. Nerf her mobility by removing the reset on kills. I don't care, but I'm rather tired of Nidalee and Blitzcrank feeling like essentially the same concept: zoning enemy champions by the sheer fact that they exist. I'd rather take Blitz any day, really, because at least I might actually be able to kill him without needing to worry about him jumping away and healing any damage I've done.

Anyway, I'd already hated Nidalee for her safety and mobility... And then Kalista happens. There is no counter to her besides point and click CC. Ordinarily I try to position my skillshot CC to where I believe the champion will be when it lands, and I've gotten pretty good at it. With Kalista, it's a goddamn crap shoot. I have to use the skillshot and pray to god she's dumb enough to hop into it. On top of her cancerous passive, some genius thought she also needed a slow to go along with her already ridiculous kit (provided she's not using it to rend the other half of my health after a few autoattacks).

I have some hope... The Fiora rework looks pretty good. At this point, though, I'm pretty much in favor of holding off on any new champions / items until you fix the things that your playerbase has been asking for. coughcough Quinn autoattacks

Quinn doesn't need a rework or buffs if you ask me. Better autos and Bug fixes. I also think Nidalee Kalista Just need reworks

Quinn just needs her several-year-old bug with her autoattacks fixed.

The only reason Kalista is strong right now is because riot nerfed other adcs to the ground

Kalista JUST got several nerfs

Nidalee has had a rework, as well as several nerfs (Remember when bushwhack shredded tanks?)

Granted, they are still strong, but riot is not flat out ignoring them.

The problem with Kalista is in her mobility... Which they did nothing about.

They need to break her kneecaps, not her hands.
