wwwwwwWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

For god's sake, I think we don't want anymore buffs to champions through buffing their items! I mean lets look back recently to when lethality was buffed. Lethality: the one thing Talon essentially builds now a days and recently got buffed to where champs like abuse the crap out of it now. So essentially Riot's plan on buffing Talon, who they're feeling is weak at the moment but with the lethality buff I'd imagine is actually doing decently, is to further buff his items, which are lethality and almost everyone can build them? ... you know I'm not even surprised at this point. I mean, right now on the PBE they're thinking of making have full 45% armor pen, you know like the full items it builds into. Riot's balance team and logic, everybody!

Yeah I don't get it either. They're so hesitant to give a little power to Talon in every situation. They buff lethality to buff Talon, but then indirectly buff everyone else anyway. Though I will admit he's pretty good atm. I don't understand why they want to create this Lethality meta, only to have to nerf it eventually anyway, putting them back to fucking square 1 with Talon. Just give him some extra fucking tools, don't beat around the bush and "buff his items".

Meanwhile they're more than willing to go balls to the wall and give LB ridiculous dmg and Rengar a cleanse, cc immunity for 1.5s (nerfed now), the SAME insta-1shot window that he had BEFORE rework which defeats the whole mantra of the fucking assassin rework, 30s ult to scout (nerfed), a free crit which is much easier to land than Talon's crit, a heal, a mini dash on his Q, on top of all the other tools he has like a slow/root.

Riot tip toe's the fuck outta trying to give Talon some extra tools, but they don't hesitate one fucking bit to make Rengar over-the-top. Anyone that tells you Riot doesn't play favorites with champions is oblivious lol

One day riot will realize that the balancing team needs to be fired.

One day.... but until that day we can only dream.

im pretty sure lethality works the opposite of armor pen, as in you do more damage with the less armor they have. the triange should go like this

Assassins beat ADC/APC APC/ADC shreds tanks and towers Tanks (and its archetypes) siege and engage... but they also just punish adc as hard as assasins all the while remaining largely healthy.

can't really be balanced, if adc are strong then tanks are weak (season 4 meta), if assassin are strong then adc are weak (this meta), if tanks are strong then assassin are weak (cinderhulk meta).

I think a room for counterplay should be given. Killing someone with 1 non Ult ability is stupid and poking people from a screen away to half health (jayce) is stupid. Overall damage needs to be toned down for all roles.
