Veterans views on balance and why it is so disappointing.

It's really sad and pathetic to see a game with just so many "well x is better than X so why play (first) x"

It's just sad really.

Like I'm not angry or crying. I'm just disappointed that riot let their game be like this.

Ya know being cool and flashy just isn't what interests me I love healthy gameplay and different roles with their different things that make them what they are.

Like alistar his defining feature is his WQ combo. Ya know its just so "him" but because his R is still broken he's not allowed to be that cool guy with that cool combo.

He has to be that cool guy with a long CD everything because his R is either broken as shit and extends a lead or a spell used to keep him barely alive in a behind situation.

Idk man I'm just sick of the lack of balance.

New champ after new champ pushed out and we can't just balance the old ones or update the older kits and give some QoL buffs every single patch and then some extra changes between patches that are shipped out at a slightly later date.

It's just sad, I'm really disappointed.

idk man I guess I just knew that any sort of balance that could've happened on older kits and then new champions pre release.. it just goes out the window.

I mean they say they'll do x but why couldn't you do X years ago when they first came out?

Not 6+ months 9+ 12+ months after they came out?... I just don't get it.

it's too above my head.

Procrastination is so scary or maybe it's just laziness...I don't know.

Whatever man. Just whatever...

I remember we used to talk about league balance, and a common contrast was drawn between LoL and DOTA. Dota was known for having very powerful champs who got a lead and hard carried, while the rest of their team turned into support. League was balanced to where each champion could do their thing, and no one could get fed enough to hard carry. You gained an edge but tactical play could restore balance.

Now it's like every champion balance Riot is seeing just how OP they can make their favorite champions while still having "counter play." Riven and Vayne were known problems for this, having extremely oppressive kits when they get ahead, but then we get this juggernaut patch and OMFG rito pls. It's just so oppressive.

When I say game balance what I'm wanting to see is a bit more balance and a bit less "I got fb so I can carry."

They focus so much resources on LCS that forgot about balance so badly. I still dont understand how Dev has been left untouched for so long when it made so many champions so oppresenly strong.

You know experience at a video game is not the same as knowledge of video game balance right?

The most incoherent post of the decade. Something, something, ghostcrawler, something, something, new champs, alistar's R, something. What a great read.
