These reworks...

I gotta say that I really hate this reworks.... since the release of the new patch in every game I see Garen, Darius, skarner or morde. One of them ore more in the same team. The problems are these: A FULL TANK garen or darius going 20/something and doing the most damage in their team is not normal at all (and they wanna still buff darius!! Btw that heal with the Q is insane sometimes) And what about Morde? when they pick it botlane you are almost sure you got that lane lost... Awesome! Skarner is kinda OP but looks like they're nerfing it next patch at least...

What do you think?

Garen's always been strong. This change did little but buff him a little more.

Darius is the same as Garen. And people decided to take him up all at once and realized he's harder than he looks and asked for buffs to fix it and after learning him more and more they began to understand him and win more.

Mordekaiser could always had been used in the bottom lane. I repeat, always. His Q and E range were perfect and his W was great poke. Now he's just a bully. And with a partner, he's just unbeatable (especially if he has a heal, his W active, and a healing ally).

Skarner also has always been OP but people just didn't play him or understand how. The update fixed that by showing what he should build and people realized he is very OP.

In short:

Garen I knew about but don't worry since he isn't hard to kill since he did get some nerfs.

Darius doesn't need the buffs. But LCS is coming up and people like Darius.

Mordekaiser is just going to ruin the bottom lane. I knew it when I saw him that his kit was flawed and now he is the worst pick for mid, top, and support but strangely has the OP power to deal over 1600 damage with just his Q.

Skarner was always OP.

Skarner needs the nerfs bad, He's in a state of such high power right now that they mentioned that might just release a hotfix to tone him down, but I guess they never did that. The Skarner nerfs listed are a start but I personally don't think it's enough, a mobility tank with high damage output and high CC is just a waaaaaaay to overloaded kit. It's nothing new for Riot to do this I know but I think the champion update and balance teams are letting their imaginations run a little to wild and as a result its thrown skarner into another state of chaos and identity crises.

It' almost like their using the live server as a social experiment to see just what changes will and will not effect the meta, and as a result the constant shifting of the meta (From ADC to Assassins to tanks back to ADC and now Jagguranuts) Has really thrown the games balance way off tilt and just made things even more chaotic.

Darius is not so much he deals damage (bleed still really strong and is his damage), but the fact that he now scales really really well now with taking a small hit to his early game, but the scaling will get him played since he can be a hyper tank thanks to the % healing, with max cdr and pure tank items you become a hyper tank like maokai and mundo as long as you land Qs on the enemy team, if you sit in the middle of them it is not hard

They already hot-fix nerfed Skarner, but I wouldn't be surprised if they add more nerfs to 5.18.
