Alright.
So, awhile back, I made a post which I deleted because of the hate. Now, I've improved it. I wanna know what Riot's champion design team is thinking (now that im less biased with azir). I'm going to take both newer and somewhat older updates in this post, so if I say something that's not relative to the current update...
Why are they nerfing Malz and Azir, but buffing Illaoi and Fiora constantly? Though I hate to admit it, Azir is pretty strong (mid-lategame, shit early). But up to a certain point, isn't it just time to stop nerfing and see his win rate? I mean, look at this! https://gyazo.com/31466ad1c7d05ea1d7b624b2d15530e6 As a Malz main, I agree with the nerfs. He has an extremely strong mid and lategame. And he's still viable, but his winrate has dropped steadily down to 50%. All of that aside, I'd like to move on to the assassin class. The champions that are there are rather balanced, zed is squishy and has to get in close to do damage (ult), or aim from afar, Ekko has a stupid ult, but he's still beatable with a bit of cc and/or silence, Fizz can be bursted down with cc, rengo isn't too strong without all fervor stacks unless fed, kha is kha, but then we have THOSE champions. My first example? Kat. She has a ranged ability empower that bounces. She has strong waveclear at all levels. NO MANA! She has a reset on her hop. The only good thing about her is that she's squishy, but tank Kat is actually kinda strong. What about Talon? He has a basic attack empower, he can go invis every... 40 seconds? Which can be used for both escaping and damage, since his ult does damage when it spreads and when it returns. He has a 99% slow for .25 seconds, and gets a damage buff against said target which ranges from 3-15%. https://gyazo.com/72ce7ca38c5c48cba6d11197bd5ad844 https://gyazo.com/4054856a33fedd48efba3bde25f554e0 And it's kinda fair to call Yas balanced. If you're a midlaner, just bait out his w and poke him if you're ranged.
Now I'll just list off some champs that I feel are broken and why, and that'll be the end of this post, because I'm tired and I came back from the army today.
