I can't wait for a light fighter rework

DeusVult··1 votes·360 views

Of all the classes, the class that has the largest amount of champs that people just cannot stand playing against has to be light fighters.

Because Light Fighters encompass the following champs:

Aatrox Fiora Jax MasterYi Riven Tryndamere XinZhao Yasuo

Now, with the exception of Aatrox, all of these champs are either decent or strong in the current meta. And they are all positively horrible to play against. Most of them, if they haven't been nerfed to an noncompetitive level simply beat you by stat checking you.

Aatrox Lifesteal for days, Fiora %true max health damage, even when built as a tank, Jax high base stats, literally no item is bad on him, stat checks everywhere, MasterYi gets 2 items, 1v5s your team and then builds tank, Riven the definition of a snowball champ that is good early and has great late game scaling, Tryndamere stat checks everywhere provided you pray to the RNG Gods, XinZhao see Yi, but with CC, Yasuo stat checks everywhere. Literally Everywhere.

And, unlike Juggernauts, who are supposed to be the tanky ones who still deal good damage because of their lack of mobility, (Skarner Garen Darius Mordekaiser do not have a single dash, unless your going to use Darius's Ultimate for a 460 range dash...) Light fighters are stacked with mobility. ALl of them have at least 1 form of targeted/untargeted dash, many of them with it on a severely low cooldown. (looking at you Yasuo )

Light fighters get so many free stats and safeties built into their kit that they end up breaking items meant for other champs/classes. The rise of season 6 Metagolem, or the terror of item 3931 item 3124 on a carry jungler and watching as your team evaporates.

Immobile Mages are the current class being looked at, but without a doubt the next class to be brought to heel has to be light fighters.

aatrox was never a light fighter though. he was always intended to be a bruiser and actually works better by stacking health with damage like any other bruiser. he even has health scaling on his passive if im not mistaken.

its just at his release people tried to play him as a melee adc. though that never really worked out, even back then. ive always seen the bruiser build be more successful than a squishy buld.

and xin and jax are also supposed to be bruisers.

actual melee adc who are designed around strifing for a squishy glass cannon build are Fiora MasterYi Yasuo Tryndamere Gangplank and i guess yea, you could throw riven into the bunch.

the only way these champions are able to carry in melee as squishies is due to their high mobility and outplay potential. theyre supposed to be mechanically difficult, or at least tricky to pull off.

the only problematic champion i see in the bunch is captain rng/splitpush tryndamere. the problem with the other champions are mostly scalings or not a good enough kit to actually support being squishy in teamfights. so their bruiser build versions are far more reliable than their carry versions, and that creates issues with these champions.

Edit:(I say bruiser instead of fighter cause I liked that term better until riot changed it)

Aatrox isn't a light bruiser, Fiora wouldn't be reworked, Jax depends he really is more of a heavy bruiser not light though, Yi needs a rework, riven doesn't need a rework, tryn needs a rework badly, xin doesn't need a rework nor yasuo.

Yi, Tryn, Yasuo aren't bruisers nor assassins though riot just decided to remove their term "carry" permanently. :/ A carry scales powerfully with crit but the issue with Yi unlike other carries is he doesn't build crit at all with how much attacks he dishes out he doesn't care about AD/AP and just wants AS+On-hits.

Nobody minds playing this champions when they are actually balanced.
