Revert Ignite buffs

Seriously, Ignite is used a lot now (even toplaners take it over TP half the time) and it's ridiculous. Combos that previously would not have killed you suddenly deal an extra 20% of your HP in true damage, it's dumb how strong Ignite is.

Revert that shit please, combined with Electrocute assassins/burstmages have a way too easy time killing people

The reason toplaners are taking it over tp is because the state of the game. Why have tp when it's cooldown just had another minute added to it, when ignite helps toplaners snowball out of control? even if they were to nerf it, i'd still be taking it toplane unless they reverted the tp CD

Riot has a tendency to creep the meta into a ridiculous pathway. Few patches ago they buff ignite. Now they nerf teleport because of fiestas in bot lane. Sigh, honestly the only reason you see fiestas in the bot lane is that bot overextends with no vision, mid comes to gank, maybe the jungle too and then top will teleport. It all has to do with looking at your map and saying, do I know where everyone is? Yes, I can be aggressive. No? I should step back and let the enemy push the wave into me. My laner is pushing the wave? That's a tell that someone plans on ganking soon or is on their way. Ward try to push and back off.

TLDR: Riot is literally trying to overcompensate for people not looking at their maps before making decisions.

I had a Yorick top come to my midlane in a game not long ago. He was level 16, I was 15 and doing okay as Morg vs a Zed (we mostly traded 1 for 1). In the fight he ignited me (he had ignite which was weird enough) and it did it's 455 true damage as expected... except, I had no extra HP items, just base HP at the time (other than dorans). It did 25% on my HP. This is the first time I realised how much it really does.

At level 1 it will do 13-14% of my HP, which is more reasonable. It scales better than most champs base HP so if you don't build bonus HP (like a lot of midlaners, ADCs or Enchanters generally don't) it gets stronger as the game goes on.

I would think Ignite should be an early game kill secure summoner spell while late it should be used more to stop healing due to it's grievous wounds but at the moment it just does a lot of damage.

I started using Ignite every game a week ago, and rigth now this summoner spell means 6-7 kills every game. (At least for me).

It's way too powerful and basically free gold. Counters Heal, Exhaust, and probably other summoners too.

Quite overpowered.

I think the issue is less the ignite buff and more the TP nerf which was a big overcorrection. Rather than nerf ignite I'd honestly rather see other summs buff. I think most of them other than flash and TP should be having a bigger impact than they do.

it deals way too much damage and it's just dumb,many champions can fk up their combo and still kill you using ingnite

but also nerf summoner 21,after ignite buffs for the very first time it's possible to lane against someone with barrier as assassin and not feeling worthless because you can't trade them because of their range but neither all in because barrier cockblocks you there are few exceptions (Fizz ) but many assassins ended up like that before ignite buffs

people started using ignite because teleport got nerfed so hard that its only worth taking if you are against shen/TF, its such a long CD. what else do you expect bruisers and whatnot in the toplane to take now that TP is a 6:30 cd, while other summoners are 2 minutes.

Why revert ignite buffs? The ignite/electrocute buffs make it so that horrible players can just take overpowered point and click champions and climb so they buy more skins.

That would be quite interesting.

Nerfs Heal and Buffs Ignite at the same time. Nerfs Teleport to punish players for desperately reaching for a defensive summoner spell that actually fucking works.

Revert the damage buff but increase it's range for ranged champions.

Kinda feels shitty if you play a mage but don't get it off with your combo. Would be a buff for champions like Syndra who need one anyway.
