Does Riot really think a champ that overloaded is healthy for the game?

Srsly, a buncha monkeys would know the answer...

I'm a thousand percent positive that not a single monkey in this world can comprehend what LoL is. Nor if they could, would they care.

You are playing a free to play game; which sole purpose is to entertain you. Do players like the new Irelia? Is she fun to play? Yes and yes. So then it is healthy for the game.

Balancing has nothing to do with this particular games health. If you think it does... why do some champions have infinite scaling and others don't. Why can some champs block abilities while others can't? There is no game balance, nor can there ever be.

Play what you like and have fun with it.

"Fun to play" and "Healthy" are not synonyms. Something can be fun to play and incredibly unhealthy for the game.

A better metric for healthy is "Fun to play" + "Fun to play against". Banned 2/3rds of the time with a 50% win rate is a pretty good sign she's not fun to play against.

Fun to play and healthy are synonyms for Riot. Not for you.

For you... playing against 'x' champion sucks. Yas, Zoe, Zed, whoever.

For Riot, they have both you playing the game and they have the enemy laner playing their game (*not including the eight other people in that match). It's a win-win for them.

The more people they have playing. The healthier the game is for them.

Hence they make fun to play champions with overloaded kits.

To get more players to play their game.

Your metric or desires has very little to do with their profit margin.

First, no need to pretend you don't understand jokes.

Secondly, is Yasuo fun to play for their mains ? Yes. Is his kit healthy for the game ? No, because it simply has too much tools, compared to average champions like Nunu Anivia Ahri

Same goes for Irelia . Old one was totally fine except her E stun that lasted way too long and prevented people to 1v1 her. Now no class can counter her : Tanks ? She got true damage. ADCs ? She got a ranged stun + a "cage" mechanic + a spammable dash. Mages ? You can't out-run her. Any other melee ? She has burst damage and is really safe thanks to her damage reduction and mobility. No, people might find Irelia fun to play, but she's simply overloaded and unhealthy.

First, no reason for OP to insult Riot employees. Especially with a stupid statement that is false.

Secondly; what you consider unhealthy for the game does not equate what it is healthy for Riot. Hence so many champions that people hate with overloaded kits exist. Because players play those champions, which means they are playing Riots game. Which -is- healthy for them.

It doesn't matter that a champions mechanics; kit, abilities or etc are overloaded. -- Yes, it matters to you as a player and individual. You might find it unfair or unbalanced. Yet; as I will say again. This game isn't about balance or fairness.

Every ad has access to conq. Thats a general problem of conq, not hers.

ADCs ? She got a ranged stun + a "cage" mechanic

A stun the enemy can sidestep with ease. Unless you are slowed that is. As for her cage, its there so the enemy will have to fight her. Nothing special. As long as you avoid the walls you have a chance of surviving.

a spammable dash

A stun that she can multiple times dash on you, if you get marked by her e and r. Yes she can land with ease her r but the e is a different story. Though chances are that you will get stunned if you are slowed. Long story short? Stick with your team. Dont try to 1v1 her unless you are a duelist.

Mages ? You can't out-run her

Maybe because they arent meant to? As i said earlier, stick with your team.

Any other melee ? She has burst damage and is really safe thanks to her damage reduction and mobility

Bullshit. Burst damage is strong against squishy targets. Against the likes of jax, fiora,riven and pretty much every juggy she loses hard (provided they are same exp and items). Her sustained damage is low compared to them. And she cant burst them down because every one of them have tools to lower her burst. Juggies have enough hp and sustain to shrug it off.
