I don't think we give Riot enough credit in balancing champions.

We complained about the nerfs to Sona and Kassadin not realizing that Luden's Echo was going to be an indirect buff to them. Then Riot also gives them compensation buffs to appease the community.

Now we have a Kassadin with an ult that comes up every 1.5 seconds and an insurgence to Sona Mid, which is quite similar to Soraka mid in the bs category. (I've been playing Sona mid lately, even have gone through some mirror match ups with other Sona mids)

Thanks guys.

It should be known that I'm not one of those who are constantly critical of the balance team and I'm not combative in posts about balance. To the point: Considering that it took literally over three **years ** for there to be any changes to Fizz, other than a single 10% increase to an AP ratio, I think my level of credit is fine, where ever that level is.

Side-note: Not to try and rain on your parade, but assuming we're referring to Sona Support, the way Sona is all but always played, who would ever build Luden's Echo on her? And since you're not, you are talking about a fringe pick that I have no doubt was not factored into the design decisions on the item.

Yeah no there balance sucks. Most champs are too strong or too weak.

You are wrong, but would you like to attempt to prove your point?

Look at the fact that only like 30 champions run a pool of 120+ what else do u need

where are you getting that 30 champion stat? Way more than 30 champs are played with success, both in solo Q and competetive
