Apparently Meddler and Ghostcrawler only like to Nerf?

Ahristocats·Jul 4, 2017·4 votes·390 views

can we rememeber how ALL OF THOSE CHAMPIONS were garbage with 40-44% win rate and are now with 48-51% win rate due to buffs? not only this, but their pick rate increased massively? gnar and corki had 0.6% pick rate, and are now with 7-8% pick rate

and they're buffing

who else is garbage right now honestly? like literally unplayable? i can think of ezreal, nautilus that has 0.44% pick rate and 44% win rate, who need a rework, even can work atm with support items like

"rengar was gutted" yeah 50% win rate 3.6% pick rate, and lethality is being buffed

No, actually i would blame them for not nerfing champions enough

are all insanely popular followed with a huge win rate, and they aren't nerfed, some of them are being nerfed now after months

and with all those buffs i honestly think that league might be perfectly balanced one day for solo queue only , balancing league in competition would requiere to redesign a lot of champions to give them a proper and unique niche

note: all the statistic are from leagueofgraph in plat+ and diamond+

I feel like they buff too much instead of nerfing lately. Like how for example Jhin gets buffed to top tier again instead of making Twitch Draven Caitlyn balanced first. Or how Rek Sai gets buffed every patch when Elise LeeSin Khazix Zac Nunu are around.

Idk but Id prefer just nerfing opieop stuff instead of making more of it.

I mean, in rek'sai's case perhaps it may be because they completely gutted her?

There was really no reason to buff Rek'Sai in 7.13 though. She was already top tier pick in proplay, this made her pretty much first pick-worthy.

Her current ult is shit.

Nuff said.

I am going to be biased as Jhin main, so take this with a grain of salt, but:

Jhin was left in the bin after Lethality (which was a huge fuckup in general), while certain other ADC (hint: Q and item 3070 , and it's not MissFortune ) was basically untouched in the grand scheme of things, because item 3153 was overbuffed after that and was still an A tier champion at worst.

Jhin in general was in the bin for few months (he was on like 45-46% winrate), because Riot couldn't balance Lethality. DFT, damage masteries, Curtain Call slow, Lethality, all these nerfs in conjunction with item 3153 buffs basically made Jhin irrelevant as a champion. Especially when you had Lucian abusing + item 3071 in pretty much every single game.

Also, Caitlyn and Draven being busted since midseason patch didn't help Jhin either (even though the item 3812 rush made it somewhat possible to sustain against the item 3153 users. You can at least try to win lane against Twitch . Good luck doing that against Draven and Caitlyn.

Jhin post nerfs was borderline free win for enemy team, especially after item 3153 got overtuned. That shit felt so bad.

i mean if people would literally report you for playing jhin is not an indicator of a champion sucking you should tell me what it is

Well sure he was garbage but I wouldve preferred first nerfing op adcs, then you can see if he still needs buffs.

Cmon, this your first game kid?

Lots of buffs = damage creep

If everyone is OP, no one is OP right?

It'd turn into URF mode.

Aatrox pick rate didn't rise

No, actually i would blame them for not nerfing champions enough

are all insanely popular followed with a huge win rate, and they aren't nerfed, some of them are being nerfed now after months

i agree mostly.
