Champs who need a hit by the nerf bat.

TheShinx··2 votes·1,226 views

The game is in such a state of imbalance it's not even funny anymore. With Champs like Kalista, Jarvin, Morgana, Zed, and the list goes on, being a cut above everyone else. When was the last time you saw champs like twtich, Draven, Fiora, Galio, Gankplank? Champs who got nerfed because they were to over bearing against the rest of that champion pool. Lets stop this crap now. Here is a list of champs (with reasons) who need to be hit out of the park with the nerf bat.

Kalista: The problem child of bot lane. She can do everything a support can do and dish out more damage then a jungler on any monster in the game. She is a master of everything. With a kit that can kit just about anyone, to pure burst damage and CC, she is in desperate need of a kick in the teeth to bring her back in line with everything.

Morgana: Renowned as one of the best support champs in the game currently. She has a binding that can ensare you for 3+ (since i am fairly certain the tooltip is wrong and its closer to 5), a Stun with a built in slow on it, A spell shield to have one person/Self be CC free for the Duration, and a DoT that ticks faster then all other DoT's in the game.

Jarvin: He was recently tapped by the bat with a -22 armor loss on his Flag. But that doesn't really do much considering his natural tank stat's, above average Scaling abilities, and Resistance shred. With his natural tank and building any sort of damage he can quickly take over most games.

Zed: Another Problem Child. From what I have seen regardless of his Nerfs he is still very much a threat. Because he has an escape that no one else can match. He can close the distance on someone better then close to the entire roster of champions. Riot has stated that it's incredibly hard to balance Zed because of his style. Which is easier to balance then anything if they knew what to do.

Lissandra: Who since release was always a sleeper OP champ. With the removal of DFG we saw a slight hit in damage, but she was still able to do a ton of damage. Considering the nerfs Time can only tell if they are enough, but currently her range on Q (after hitting a minion) and radius are still a little high, and do not match the animation at all.

Yasuo: Wind wall, Dash, Resourceless, Shield, Knock up, Armor Shred. All this makes Yasuo what he is. But it also creates something many league players dislike. He has to all in but he has a lot of safety as well. In lane he can bully many match ups out and make it extremely difficult to get back into the game. When it comes down to it, Yasuo needs to have his dash on a leash and not be able to use it every 1 second.

That's it for now. I will add more later on as I see it.

You guys seriously need to stop complaining about Yasuo. He's been nerfed like 6 times to the point of being basically a troll pick. I felt that every single nerf after the E damage nerf was unnecessary and put through just because people couldn't deal with him. He lost like every matchup ever except for a few and is extremely vulnerable to ganks. He's so far from safe that it's not even funny. His strength lies in the late game when he has items, but good luck getting those items. Yasuo has no range so he can't farm when he's behind and even when he's ahead, he dies to every jungle gank that walks into his lane if he's even an inch past the halfway point. I don't know why people think he's so good. His weaknesses are too obvious and his strengths don't make up for it anymore. As far as this game's balance goes, I think it is actually balanced better than it has ever been. The champions you listed aren't even really problems and they aren't that hard to deal with (except Kalista). They all have weaknesses that are fairly easy to exploit. I'll admit that they're strong, but not opressive or ruining the game.

i main yasuo for my mid lane, and after a while i just stopped playing him because of the nerfs. I now am playing him again, but it requires a lot more skill.

I loved playing Yasuo back before he was nerfed into the ground. He was so much fun to play, especially in team ranked. I loved his theme and design as well. He felt like the perfect example of a high risk high reward champion.

This is the most useless nerf list i have ever seen on the forums aside from this guy

The thing that bugs me the most on this list... yasuo. Let me just... yasuo? Really? He's been nerfed like three times... and his e is not an issue. He needs multiple targets and he cant just spam it. He needs to know how to position it. I would post more about all of your suggestions... but with this low of intelligence i dont see why i should bother. Im assuming you agree with the nerfs to veigar... you seem like you would be the guy who designed them

I agreed with everything except the veigar changes. I say changes because I see them as good. They are effective at what they're supposed to be. It's a trap, not an instant stun. You put someone in the middle of that and what can they do?? Nothing. Veigar's clutches are around them and they can do nothing but watch themselves fall apart. I played new Vei on PBE, and I was the only one playing it right. A lot of people seem to think he still plays like he used to...

LeeSin dat pick rate

TheShinx1 votes

I forgot about lee. Tho I feel sorry for the blind monk. He is a tricky bastard to balance. Will add in a few hours after sleep. Sleep is needed.

Yeah... his win rate is meh, and he is somewhat easy to manage if you know what you're doing, but his pick rate and popularity is annoying. It hurts jungle diversity if the jungle is made to cater to one set of jungler.

Sejuani is getting a lot of heat right now, but I honestly think she is the Lee Sin of tanks. She is what tanky junglers should be. Maybe she individually should be nerfed, but she is definitely top tier now.

All hail the pig... and the boar she rides :3

Vayne - Surprised she doesn't get picked as much these days. Who needs a support when you can peel for yourself with a stun and invisible dashes that also add more damage to your already buffed true damage and % health basic attacks!

Ahri - Ahri's almost at a decent place, I just want to hit whoever thought she needed extra movement speed on her Q with a stick. She already flirts around the edge of fights easily enough with her E and R... She didn't need the extra movement speed to make her laning phase even safer.

LeeSin - Self explanatory.

Katarina - Self explanatory.

Riven - Shield dash in, stun, q three times, shield dash out. Repeat until they're at half health and then double tap R to kill. gg ez #bestrivenNA

Sion - Infinite stacking HP, a shield and CC up the butt... And then you get punished for actually succeeding in killing him. =/

XinZhao - AP + ASPD version: "Turret? What turret? Wait, are you actually attacking me? I can't tell because of my heals."

Gnar - I'm just gonna hop around the edge of a fight slowing people that try to go in on me until I'm ready to jump on their heads, stun everyone and get a pentakill.

Nidalee - Let me just haphazardly chuck spears every three seconds until one hits, in which case you are now royally screwed.

^ all of these are on my usual ban list, though Jarvan, Lee Sin and Gnar are usually at the top of it. We need more bans.

All of the nerf suggestions I've seen on this thread make me realize that those people are dumber than the guys that "balanced" veigar
