Ravenous hydra and titanic hydra NO SWAP Rant
ok now that im less salty lets start the actual discussion.
"While this was a neat idea, in practice being able to swap for no cost presents us with some balancing difficulties. Key among them is the smoother build of Titanic Hydra - letting champions with an intended weakness in their early-game bulk up at no cost to their late-game damage scaling. Rather than continuously tune them based on their relative power (instead of how useful they are to their core users), we're separating the Hydras for good. Goodnight, sweet serpent prince-swapping. You were too beautiful for this world."
Hydra is presenting us with more balancing differences aka more work so were just gonna shut down the item for good. Apparently champions are buying this item to get tanky early and then switch? Are these guys retarded? IT IS THE OPPOSITE WAY AROUND-lets take tank
for example. This is an extremely unbalanced champion, probably one of the reason they are removing the switch effect. But wait a second- fiora buys the ravenous first because she dominates lane! Guess riot forgot this, and has decided to nerf the rest of the champs instead
Most of these champs are sht, but im glad riot is trying to make the game healthier by nerfing them further.
Second reason: "this will separate the good hydras from the great"
Strangle me.
Actual Reason:" A free swap isn't healthy"
Remember when they nerfed a sht ton of junglers by making it so u cant change jg items? Well they are making the same mistake again.
Hope riot considers undoing the change and nerfing the problem cough cough instead
