Patch 9.2 "A Joke"
Ok new season guys, lets get excited. After a long season without many changed, the biggest being the bounty system and the towerplatings(still waiting for the role-rank on euw), I thought that they wouldnt do more before a couple of weeks after the season launch, oh..I was wrong....
Lets talk about the nerfs. First of all, the jax nerf is a joke. It adresses his lvl 2 power-spike, but thats not the main issue of his kit, the problem is his broken ass kit with the essence reaver, His synergy with that item is insane. The galio, urgot and cass nerfs was expected and justified after we have ssen the dominate the last month or so. Though the nerfs wasnt that harsh, and we can probably expect so see them in the future. The brand nerf doesnt change his play-style at all. Im not going to talk about the rakan changes, people who mains rakan says that the changes are horrible, and are crying out loud for riot to revert it. The Irelia nerfs however... She had it coming, her kit is overloaded, and very hard to balance. So when riot decides to nerf her across the board to make people stop complaning about her until they can find a way to balance her, she becomes gutted. Rendering her useless for the next patch to come, the next patch is supposed to buff her w and hp per lvl. A very strange and drastic way for them to start a new season for Irelia mains...
Its to much to rant about the patch notes, her is the link for them https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/patch/patch-92-notes
However the point im trying to make is, WHY ARE YOU MAKING SO MUCH CHANGES AT THE SEASON START. Isnt that why we have a thing called preseason? I find it strange that the balancing board decides to do this at the season start.
