Suggestions to fix the Fighter Problems

Hi there !

It's a known fact that Fighters are struggling a lot , either toplane or jungle . In my opinion it's due to a lack of diversity in runes for them .

But before I lay down my suggestions , we need to take a look back to the old runes system : Most of them were taking the standard +14%AS and +8.5AD + resistances and also fervor . Some of them (those with AS steroids) were taking more AD and less AS . And those who were relying on their AA , were often taking full AS runes mixed with defensive stats .

I for example , was playing Aatrox with 20% AS , HP/lvl , and resistances . I never took much AD because fervor of battle did the trick . Same goes for Tryndamere .

Now , with the new system , the choices are pretty limited for fighters . If I take precision , i get +18% AS and if i don't take PTA , my damage is laughable . If I want more tankyness , i have to take the Resolve Runes which gives me just a little bit of AS if i combine it with Precision runes in secondary . Next patch will solve that problem , but let's be honest , +65 HP wont solve the problem of most fighters . There still will be a lack in diversity for others . But i can understand that Riot will have to do it step-by-step . You don't make a dive into a cold river , you just enter it slowly but surely .

Riot is taking a step in the right direction with mixing the stats of Resolve+Precision and Precision+Resolve .

My suggestions are : When taking precision+secondary tree , I'd like to have lower AS in exchange for some AD or other stats . For example :

  • Precision+Sorcery should give +9%AS and +5 or +6 AD and Sorcery+Precision should give +8 or +9AD and +3 or +6%AS
  • Precision+Domination should give +9%AS and XYZ lethality or magic penetration . Ofc , there will be a need to nerf lethality items a bit more and reduce the amount of AR/MR pen given from the Sudden Impact rune . Vice versa for Domination+Sorcery .

This will give fighters a lot more runes to use and not be forced to stick only to one kind of runes .

Cheers !

I don't like the way the runes give stats. Doing this would help some champs and hurt others. Literally any way you change rune stats would.

I think they should just axe those stats and put them on starting items. Remake the whole set of starting items so you can actually customize your stats.

On my main account I usually only play fighters Warwick Tryndamere Vi Kayn Renekton I'm not struggling with any of them atm.
