Riot is literally the only company that goes "Oops, looks like you guys were right" AGAIn and AGAIN

Azir range nerfed despite community outcry that it'd make him useless. Now being reverted.

Same with Kassadin ulti range. Getting reverted.

Same with Veigar stun ( instead, they refuse to admit their mistake and keep "trying" in indirect ways)

Are you even trying to listen to us Riot?? The ONLY mistake you made in listening to us was when you returned the DAmn ward-hopping potential for this guy LeeSin

Kassadin's change isn't getting reverted. The range for Rift walk went from 800 to 450. On the PBE they raised it back to 550, then lowered it again to 500.

But they're making Luden's Echo, which on Kassadin is such a streamlined item it may as well be a direct buff.

Luden's Echo confuses me some. It's like a Statikk Shiv for casters, but it's burst on hit is large and impactful - not unlike Deathfire Grasp was...It just feels like another DFG. I thought the point was to reduce the burstiness..?

Who really knows the point to the item other than it might be "exciting". It's going to be SUCH a huge power boost on some champions they will have to either nerf it very very hard (from the 100AP +15% of bonus AP) or nerf every mage because it's a "must buy" item.

It kind of shows a lack of direction for the balance/development teams.

by the way i see it it will be a buff to everything because spells apply it bursty mages will charge it by walking and empower their burst by some % of their already high ap spell slinging mages will charge it much faster, but the damage of the proc will be weaker

last time there was a discussion about it i made some math if i remember the dmg was 100+15% ap viktor with that item and lich bane could get like 1k dmg on his q

that was literaly just one skill and it does not involwe the dmg dealt around the target

its just an empowering to everything that defines mages, they can wait for cooldowns, they stack loads of stats and like to burst stuff, and they use spells

nor is azirs range

but the thing is that riot does their thing despite community screaming at them that they know the results, then it actualy proves to be as community says and riot slowly goes back on their decisions

thats realy not nice

also the pbe ... a realy fun topic ppl complain about "how this went through the pbe" when they see toxic and unballanced stuff like kalista while riot does not test their ballance there, they state is clearly that they just look for bugs that could crash the game

and it is a fact that pbe is not a good place to test stuff in its current state

but riot is literaly doing everything blindly basing their decisions around how did it "feel" to couple of riot employess, during their test im assuming that they test stuff in their office at least

riot finaly broke that they need to nerf kassadins ultimate and now they just randomly throw numbers around, and the only time when it will be tested is once it hits live and impacts the game ballance

riot realy needs a testing ground where they will gather reliable data about ballance from players

I would change one thing you said.

Change that to "looks" and you are correct. Remember, they are not making a video game, they are making a tv show.

yeah there is that too

but it would be better if they would at least be able to do it right now even their lcs are kinda crapp since champions go op there

I really wouldn't care if Riot openly stated so, the fact that they "Pride" themselves on being a company "centered around the community" is really hypocritical

All I've seen them say and do is "Yes, we know you don't like it, buuut we're gonna do it anyway and it's good to hear you QQ"
