Riot's Balance Team has 0 Clue What they are Doing

Tristana Attack range decreased, especially at early ranks. W base damage increased.

Tristana's early game strength allows her to coast too easily into the late game, so we're giving her a notable lane weakness (lower range) while still giving her a success case (all-ins). Base Stats ATTACK RANGE 550-669 (at levels 1-18) ⇒ 525-661 (at levels 1-18) W - Rocket Jump BASE DAMAGE 60/110/160/210/260 ⇒ 85/135/185/235/285

Twitch E base damage increased.

We went a bit too hard on Twitch last patch and are half-reverting Contaminate's nerf. E - Contaminate BASE DAMAGE 20/25/30/35/40 ⇒ 20/30/40/50/60

Are you being serious right now Riot?

Tristana is disgustingly broken right now and the community has begged for nerfs so you nerf her range by 25-8 and then buff her W base damage by 25 at every level?

Then on top of that, Twitch was disgusting for over a year and you finally nerf him, After the nerf he still sat at a respectable 50.34% win rate with a decent pick rate (4th out of marksmen) and literally one patch later you half buff him even though the nerfs worked as intended?

What the fuck is Riot even on at this point. Their Balance team is getting worse and worse and it is honestly ridiculous

tristana's attack range nerf is actually a bigger blow then you would think early on. since she now has to play closer to the creep wave to farm, shes WAY more open to getting cucked by poke, and instead has to opt in for extended trades or flat out all-ins

in twitch's case, remember, they wanted to nerf his early game damage due to the buffs PtA was getting, but it was just a bit too hard, being that its practically his only trading tool (q Is just a stealth and a small steroid, w is a slow to apply stacks for his passive to set up his E).

They hired the only and only Ghostcrawler, the man renowned for destroying World of Warcraft in only its third expansion.

They want more diversity in botlane so that other champions besides marksmen can take the ADC position, yet they're doing absolutely nothing to lower the overall power of marksmen.

Keep it up Riot, you'll get there in a year or 5!
