He's been OP for over a whole year, and now the balance team is buffing him because he's at a 51% winrate? lmao

Because hyper carry adcs are riots babies.

XxDRAGONsAK47xX6 votes

Maybe because this hyper carry had a 49% winrate in patch 8.4???

Daddy Tie Me Up17 votes

creeping to 50% win rate in meta where games do not exceed 35 minutes as hyper carry? Damn sounds like he was in really bad spot.

Mizaya1 votes

I would argue that even ADC players themselves don't even like hypercarries, for example doublelift I think has said multiple times that he hates when hypercarries are meta.

Because the balance team has no common sense. [sg-ahri-2]

XxDRAGONsAK47xX6 votes

If they have no common sense, you must have no brain.

Check Twitch's winrate for patch 8.4 buddy

Win rate is not indication of weather or not a champ is OP or just plain cancer. Get an actual argument.

  1. Yet that's pretty much OP's argument
  2. Saying balance team has no common sense isn't extraordinary argument either.

What are you talking about?

They aren’t buffing him, he’s getting half of his nerfs reverted but he is still overall nerfed.

Flawless Fetus5 votes

... he got nerfed. True. Now he's getting buffed. Being weaker than before doesn't negate the fact that he's getting buffed. Lol.

DuskDaUmbreon4 votes

Technically getting buffed, but it's functionally a semi-revert on a nerf.

Reverts are understood to not be the same as a buff or nerf.

And this is "I'm so smart I will give winrate as a star and it's automatically winning every argument". Well sadly winrate doesn't mean sht. Just a bunch of twitch mains having low performance because they can't have DMG everywhere. And twitch kept oneshoting whole teams with ult, out of stealth. Very healthy gameplay. This e nerf didn't change anything but gave him a little less DMG in early game, he still stays broken and toxic for the gameplay pattern.

I'm not giving winrate as a star argument, I'm just pointing that this whole Post is based on a lie, and if winrate didn't meaned anything OP would not be lying about it in on purpuse.

T4underbolt1 votes

OP doesn't understand that either. Win rate or not twitch is toxic for the gameplay and needs changes and nerfs untill he gets changed. It's unplayable Vs this champion.

Naymliss12 votes

He had an almost average winrate. Oh no! Better buff that. Never mind other champions who are in the gutter right now with way lower winrate. Twitch is the one who needed the help, I completely agree.

49% winrate? What's wrong with that?

saltran3 votes

If there's nothing wrong about 49% winrate why OP straight up lies and says he had 51%?

tieger051 votes

Champion.gg says he's at a 51% winrate in plat+ elo. I'm not "staight up lying", do your research. Even if he's at a 49% winrate, that doesn't mean he should get buffed right away lmao. He's still very strong.

Oh no, he had a 49% wr!?!?!111 For a whole patch too?! The horror!

Literally every other champion from every other class(obviously exaggerating but you get my point) would have had to wait months just to get this kind of attention.

Hypercarries shouldn't be doing well in quick games, but they are. The fact that everyone got used to hypercarries being good right now is a bad sign

Blåbæret12 votes

Lmao. At this point it's so freaking obvious that the entire balance team consists of marksmen mains. They're not even trying to hide it anymore.

Sp33d Zer01 votes

Unless you look at who is actually on the balance team and you realize it's actually mostly mid laners.

Brcause that last nerf made him dip slighty under 52% winrate.

Riot balance team is a joke lol. Love the lore and skins team, but god damn the balance team is so bad at what they do lol.

XxDRAGONsAK47xX8 votes

You're right! It was below a 52% winrate!

Right to a 49% winrate

Naymliss20 votes

Lucian DrMundo Syndra Lux Lissandra Yeah, what a tragedy. A 49% winrate. How low. That's really sad. Mhm. Yup. Yeah, I think Lucian is also saddened by this super low 49% winrate.

Madsin258 votes

Vladimir Has a 49% winrate. I demand buffs.

Over nerfed with 51% win ratio?

He had a 49% winrate.

Check your damn facts

CLÜE3 votes

Different sites always say different stats. Champion.gg shows 51.

AirKingNeo1 votes

Champion.gg isn't a reliable source though.

chipndip12 votes

One reason why no one should use champion.gg

Sp33d Zer01 votes

Champion.gg also says that the more games you play on a champion the worse you get at them.

CLÜE1 votes

I wasn't really saying it was reliable, just trying to explain the differences in info going around

SierraTangoDelta6 votes

He's an ADC. ADCs can't receive real nerfs ever with this season. I vastly preferred the previous season of everyone shitting on ADCs

Raiyza5 votes

Because Riot has no idea what they are doing.

They STILL won't nerf his ultimate.

Colgate Gator4 votes

Because ADC mains are the most asinine group ever, so Riot prefers to not leave a single one of their mains weak.

God forbid it was a tank tho, these motherfuckers get their items AND their stats nerfed and they remain like that for months.

muted team chat4 votes

Riot has a tunnel-vision mentality that some champs SHOULD be strong and others should not. It's weird.

Hexshot4 votes

That's their way on "nerfing ADCs".

no to toxic4 votes

Imagine being so bad at the game that a sub 50% winrate champ with a one of the lowest playrates is the bane of your existence

saltran2 votes

Goebbels would be proud.

NorthernRedStar2 votes

51% win rate for plat+ elo.

He didn't need buffs at all. Or nerf reverts, whatever floats your boat.

Let other champions shine for a while, we've had enough of hyper carries dominating early, mid, and late game.
