About the Nerf train latelly...
I want to start this with a couple of questions:
What are the champions you see almost every game in certain lanes? What are the champions you played as when they came out but never saw or played again? What are the champions that DID stay playable after release? Any common traits between the ones that are played? And which of them have been nerfed?
I've been asking myself these things for a while and this is irrelevant to the current meta, meta makes champions come and go but there are some who are there for ever and some who never come back
Champions that I see almost every game? let me think...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
Champions I played at release but don't play much or see?
,
,
, 
What stayed playable after release?
... hum... maybe no... oh
! and hum...maybe
? oh yeah and
.. kinda... she fell of a bit lately...
Common traits? I don't think so... well they are all good or broken depending on the meta... they never actually are bad or have problems regardless of meta or enemy composition, they mostly work on everything even if you are bad at them...
Nerfed? Well
was hit pretty hard lately,
is about to join
,
and
in the deep dark pit of almost unplayable unless you're really good at them,
in itself was hit with the nerf bat right after he came out and he wasn't that good to start with...
This is the problem with the game!
Nerfs are normal to bring a healthy game, but why are some destroyed to the point of unplayable while others such as
keep all their power to the point of a support being able to play as adc?
Why do most new champs get forgotten? why do they nerf them to the point they can't do what they were created for? what is the need for
nerfs? she is barely played as it is, yet she is getting more nerfs instead of buffs to be viable, I remember when she came out everyone believed that finally we would get so diversity in the jungle from the obligatory
but then nerf, while
stays as oppressive and un-fun to play against as ever...
WHY?
Why does riot decide that some champions do not deserve to be op while others stay relevant regardless of meta or team? why must
be broken on every team comp?
at least has the ulti that works better with some team comps but
and
?
Poke lane?
works, Kill lane?
works!, sustain lane? With a face of the mountain it kinda works
Gank jungle?
is perfect, Farm jungle?
has all the clear speed you want, counter jungle? don't even need to comment
Need damage?
got you covered, need tank?
got you covered! Need utility and CC?
has the bitch covered!!
You adc sucks? no problem
can take over!, your adc has no mobility,
has your back, your team has no tank? step aside ladies
is here to deal with it!
on the other hand
, can she jungle? yeah!
does she have CC? a little bit
does she have damage? if you build it
can she tank? if you build it
can she do both? no... simply no
can she be an adc or work as a support? no but she can kinda lane...badly...
This might just be me, but I am tired of watching the same champs on every game and see champ after champ be forgotten for ever after release!
I want to see
, I want to see
, I want to see
again, I want some DIVERSITY
I want to stop seeing
and
on EVERY SINGLE GAME!
Give them weaknesses!
should be a tank or damage NOT BOTH,
is a utility support SO WHY DOES HE HAVE SO MUCH DAMAGE AND RESISTANCES?
isn't tanky,
isn't tanky,
has no damage or ranged aa,
has no damage or ranged aa, so WHY DOES
HAVE EVERYTHING?
No champ should be perfect for everything and no champ should be useless at everything
Make a change, nerf what must be nerfed, buff what is never played!
Even if we have some op stuff for a while it's ok, as long as it's not permanently op!
shouldn't always be a good pick, give him a bad season, given
a bad season, give
or
a good season, a season where they shine, a season where
is banned in LCS, a season where you have to counter pick
!
Give us real diversity!
PS: Keep in mind this is my opinion in ramble form you may disagree with my view on what a truly changing game is, you may like to face a
in every game, i for one would love to face a team of
top,
jungle,
adc,
mid and
support for example
