Riot...Give each team 5 bans+ or balance your Champions...

II Xero II·Feb 11, 2016·8 votes·1,348 views

I am so sick of getting hit by 750 points of damage from a Lux ult with 1 ap item or getting dove by an Evelyn at level 5. NORMALIZE THIS DAMAGE OUTPUT. It is not that hard. Certain champions can't even hit those numbers without properly farming or leveling up (ie. WW, Kog, Kass, Urgot, Skarner) But you have champs at level 2 doing 400+ damage so fast and so soon (ie. Anivia, Pantheon, Evenlyn, Lux, Corki, Ahri, Zed, Leblanc, Talon, Aatrox, Shyv and I can keep going) How on earth is this balanced? If you guys are too lazy to balance then give each ranked team enough bans so we don't have to deal these toxic champions. 4 more would make so much more of a difference and would make the game that much more fun. It's just ridiculous though because there shouldn't even be bans if the champions weren't op in the first place. Cmon guys i'm sure its not that hard IN YOUR OWN GAME!

Up until 6.3 i was against 5 bans each. But after seeing those buffs to certain champs (*cough xin *cough) I'm starting to doubt Riots decisions regarding Champion Balance.

Cause Riot was never aiming for balance. Ahri or Lee Sin are perfect proof of that, if it was about balance many LCSBIGPLAYS champions would be eating nerfs long times ago.

Then they should be. A good game has balanced characters that a player can learn and succeed with. This game, not at all...A good player just has to exploit these overpowered champs and win constantly until the enemy picks that champ or the team just has a group of op champs. That isn't fair at all and being a player since 2013, this game has really gone downhill after all the buff and "nerfs" they hand out.

Congratulations.The most important point.

You played against a Zed or Talon with that new item? Its a horrendous experience and has made mages even more obsolete. 5 bans yes so we can ban all AD assassins.

Makes adc meta irrelevant also. Yea I can take a tower early but let zed or talon see me or anybody that's a carry. Instant death followed by escape or slaughter of the rest of my team.

Lux and Anivia skillshot? Viktor.Bad argument and invalid.Shut up.

HoukagoFapTimeFeb 11, 20162 votes

Out of all the champs you mentioned only Corki and Zed are in the unbalanced state right now. Maybe Talon too.

The other ones are pretty fine.

With that said, i'd like more bans too, even one more ban per team would be something at least.

No.Other ones aren't fine.Protecting op champions and downvote all.Lol.

Stop responding to my comments. I'm tired of your constant crying. Learn to play vs those champs and grow up.

Learn the meaning of care.

It's not even so much as learning to play against them. They land just one or two abilities and you're already having to recall or pot up. It's ridiculous and riot should really look into normalizing the damage the champs they designed.

HoukagoFapTimeFeb 11, 20162 votes

My comment was towards that particular guy that has been crying and raging for 24 hours.

Anyway, Lux and Anivia have always been like that, they have a combo, if you get hit, you get hit hard. That's more noticeable now that there's thunderlord. But they have no escape and they're both full skillshot. Same goes for Panth, he has mana issues and once he lands his combo he won't have it again for like 12 seconds (while using 3/4 of his mana).

LB is just frustrating to lane against depending on the match up. Ahri has always been a solid mid laner, not an OP one.

There's difference between an annoying/frustrating champion, and an OP one.

CatastropFeb 11, 20161 votes

Anivia has a combo. Lux is just, E all of Pre-6, then just press R whenever it's up. I've literally used that ult to clear a wave, back to base and have it up again by the time I'm in lane.

1st off if you didn't want to protect your argument and get a reply, why are you commenting?

Second off, although some of the people on his list aren't OP, they are still a bitch to vs.

Lux is def op right now. Anivia has egg and huge burst, just annoying as hell. Ahri has to land one charm and your dead mid game. Kinda same thing with blitzcrank in a way. Aatrox can solo baron at most any level by the time he gets sated and a few more AS items.

They might not have op win rates but there is something about all of them that is just anti fun.

HoukagoFapTimeFeb 11, 20162 votes

First off, my comment was aimed at that particular guy, QQing since yesterday.

Second off, if you guys complain about Aatrox we can end the discussion here. Like what the actual fuck,LOL. That champion is a walking minion.

TheGoddessDiana guy protects op champions.You don't care with him.

CasriFeb 11, 20162 votes

If the game were in a better place in terms of balance, more bans would not be needed. I wish Riot would lay off on new champion/item releases until the current roster of champions is in a healthy state.

Right now the game forces you to decide between banning blatantly overpowered champions: Fiora Graves Zed Udyr Corki Poppy DrMundo

Or incredibly frustrating champions: TahmKench Ezreal Malphite Blitzcrank Lux Soraka Kindred

And some champions often fit into both categories.

There's 0 room for banning tactically (high pick rate, high win rate, low ban rate champions like Janna ), or banning something which counters your intended pick.

blfUvZ8YbuFeb 11, 20161 votes

You're right.But they were nerfed Viktor.

Excitidly InsaneFeb 11, 20161 votes

I was all for reading this until you complained about Evelynn.

BadmoonBCFeb 11, 20161 votes

They need to really do 10 bans now. It will make lcs more fresh and solo q more skillful. Think of a the "pick/bans" right now people are crying about Udyr, Mundo, Zed, Xin, Ryze(nerf might change this and it was only in high Elo where he was perms banned but still), Tahm Kench, Soraka, Jax, Graves, Fiora, Darius... The list goes on....

Come on riot...
