@Riot Remove non-skillshot stuns from the game

Bultz··2 votes·2,039 views

Champions like Ryze, annie, and renekton need to have their stuns forced into being skillshots. FIrst off they all do horrendous amounts of damage which you can't come back from as they snowball you into oblivion.

Rekentons stun isn't even a skillshot it's a close range hit which is absolute bullshit as he can go tank and lethality and shred you into the ground. He should be forced into throwing his weapon to stun you, not get a freelo stun off anytime anyone gets to close. He already has bullshit built in heal and his ult is cancerous while he can gap close for free, he doesn't need freelo stuns.

Annie too, a champion whose passive is a free stun is a load of trash. Like you're fucking already being bursted into the fucking ground by her kit and her bullshit bear who rages you and you are punished if you kill her by dying anyways to the bear. Like it's a load of shit.

Ryze is trash now, but his stun is still bullshit. Something so game changing on a champion who can burst you is too much. I mean they all have silences as well to their fucking stuns. They need to be forced into them being skillshots like every other champion is forced into.

Ryze has no stun my dude. It's a root. You're more than welcome to use abilities and autoattack while rooted, you just can't move from that spot.

It doesn't matter one way or another, it needs to be a skill shot.

Why? Because you want to buff Yasuo, Renekton, Riven, Lee Sin, Camille, etc, etc? Because that's what that would do. If there is no way to stop them from being a pain in the ass, bouncing around, and killing everyone other than landing a skillshot, do you really think they're going to be fun to play against? Targeted CC was not designed to be countered, and it's supposed to be difficult to fight, but it's ultimately, relatively balanced. Targeted CC was designed to be counterplay to champions who won't stop moving.

It doesn't buff anyone. If you don't have the skill to play the game, you deserve to lose, not be rewarded for a bullshit kit. It's not balanced in the least if it doesn't have a counter to it.

Nerfing a champion's counters is a buff to that champion, yes. And let me tell you, the skill in using abilities like those isn't landing them. Most of them have long enough cooldowns that you have to decide to use them, and if you're in a teamfight and hit the wrong enemy, you probably die.

Now, I'm not saying Yasuo's unbalanced in this regard, because he isn't in this regard at least.

But you're complaining about Renekton's melee stun? When Yasuo can E-Q for a knockup which requires a blink ability as well as a cleanse to remove instead of just a cleanse?

Isn't that a bit hypocritical?

Also Ryze doesn't have a stun, he has a root. Completely different.

No, Yasuo can't do near the level of damage rekton has until late game and to that yasuo is a squishy who can be cleared with merc scimitar, while renekton is a tank who has build in heal, damage, and his ultimate is strong while he can build lethality and tank items.

No it's not. You have 1 tenacity time in game and 1 debuff item in game. Renekton's stun is up every like 10 seconds or less with cd items. Meanwhile merc scimitar has a 180+ cd time and renekton just stuns you again multiple times during one fight. That's a load of shit and needs to be forced into using skill.

You check them with a skillshot. If you don't have the skill, you don't get rewarded for bullshit kits.

Um no. If you're playing one of those champions, you are SUPPOSED to be saving the mobility tool TO escape with in the first place unless you can all-in and kill them before they can retaliate by having worn them down low enough. (Or a jungler gank or just being fed, etc)

If you decided to waste your mobility tool and got hit anyways, that's your fault and you misplaying. If you had the mobility tool but still couldn't dodge anyways, that's a misplay on your part.

Ummmmmm no, the only counter to a bullshit stun being to run away or die is not fuckign acceptable. I either stay in base or go in and run away from the fight if they dash in on me? No no no, that's a load of shit and needs to change.

No wrong in either case, being stunned at any engage in your laning phase in a 1v1 only to be force into running away if they should stun you is the biggest load of crap i can imagine.

Um. You literally forgot what you said 9 minutes ago it seems. You said use skillshots against them. What I'm saying is you have no excuse for a skillshot to ever hit you in a 1v1 as one of those kinds of champions.

Wow, gee, maybe you should stop dueling the fucking earlygame champion if you're not equally strong earlygame IN SAID earlygame.

That's a load of shit as any mobile champions are close range fighters and renekton's stun is a non skillshot which hits you and gives you no way to avoid it.

Wow, gee, maybe you should stop dueling the fucking earlygame champion if you're not equally strong earlygame IN SAID earlygame.

Oh i'm sorry he can ult and tower dive 5 minutes into the game and kill anyone while taking barely any damage while having built in heal and gap closers. No don't play bullshit cards.

Jesus fuck you don't get it. I'm not talking about targeted abilities.

If it's a skillshot, you have absolutely no excuse to be hit by it as a hypermobile champion ever in a 1v1.

If you get hit, you are bad.

It's not up to the enemy to decide whether they can hit you. It's up to you and whether or not you fuck up like an idiot to decide whether or not they get to hit you.

No that's not how playing a game works. It's so easy to predict mobile champions that you have to suck at skillshots to miss. mobile champions are super easy to stun.

It's not up to the enemy to decide whether they can hit you. It's up to you and whether or not you fuck up like an idiot to decide whether or not they get to hit you.

No that's not how playing a game works. Yasuo without minions is fucked. LIke no beign stunned doesn't mean you are bad.

Then Yasuo's dash should also not be a point and click, no cooldown skill either.

If he doesn't have the skill to avoid a skillshot, he shouldnt get rewarded for bullshit kits.

Yasuo's dash doesn't stun you or prevent you from attack so no. His dashing is him avoiding the skill shot. Rekenton doesn't give you a chance to dodge the skillshot as it's isn't a skill shot and your point in invalid.

MissingKayo4 votes

Jesus fuck you need to learn some reading comprehension.

His E-Q is a targeted and near unavoidable knockup if he can E near you/onto you. Same thing with Renekton's dash. Complaining about Renekton's dash-melee stun but not Yasuo's dash-AoE knockup is hypocritical.

Renekton is trash lategame.

And you need to learn fuckign context. Yasuo doesn't do shit damage to you early game while renekton's fury stacks bash your skull in and stun you for 1.5 seconds while healing him and doing shit tons of damage to you nor do they give yasuo an extra 225% damage. Yasuo knocks you up and has to run or he dies from his squishiness, Rekenton stuns you and proceeds to fuck you analy.

Renekton is trash lategame.

LOLOLOL Sure he is.

MissingKayo4 votes

No one gives a fuck about the context.

Yasuo is a lategame hyperscaler. Renekton is an earlygame lane bully.

Of course Renekton will do more damage early.

If you think Renekton doesn't fall off, you are simply bad.

Renekton doesn't fall off ever. He does that damage all game.

Um, Renekton is countered just as hard.

Yes, he does that damage all game. Except everyone except assassins and ADCs build armor and health. So his effective damage still goes down.

That's because you and your team is bad and not handling him right then.

No his effectiveness never goes down. No one targets him in a 5v5 because he is a tank and wouldn't be the first one to be killed, he has plenty of sustain, and he does plenty of damage. He never falls off if he gets the slightest lead.

MissingKayo3 votes

No, Renekton is not a fucking tank.

He doesn't do damage nor does he sustain if you'd actually handle him correctly and CC him/use Grievous/Lord Dom's/Void Staff/etc.

SKill or no reward.

Think about how dumb your logic is.

You are literally asking a pack of soldiers to not use RPG/Stingers, landmines or whatever that's more secure and guaranteed to shoot down say a fast and armed vehicle, but instead you force them to only snipe it using rifles or something.

Because apparently the land infantries need to be able to snipe a fking driver or tires of an armed and retaliating vehicle to be considered "skilled", while the vehicle is entirely okay to just be all that by default and one only needs half a brain to hold the steering wheel and shooting the mounted gun at the general direction of the infantry.

What sort of dumb and biased shit is this? It's outright and blatantly unfair. Why are you advocating that being mobile doesn't need a direct counter of lockon/lockdown just as mobility vastly outshines the immobile by having better maneuverability (such as juking) and speed etc? Why are you saying a balance that clearly favours 1 side of the equation is entirely okay?

Please stop.

If anything, with all the mobility creep over the years we need more targeted skills not less. Sometimes the only answer is an on demand "sit your butt down!" skill. They are usually balanced by having longer cooldowns.

Annie has to build 4 skills and has a visual telling you its there. Even then she probably has to burn summoners to get you if you play smart. Ryze is fast but his kit isn't near what it used to be for machinegun plus he has an ult thats hard to utilize in solo play from what I've seen. You even said somewhere that renekton has like 10 second cooldown on his melee range stun.

Targeted cc always has some trade off. Whether that be the skill itself or the overall strength of the champ. Old Taric dazzle was a super useful skill. Whereas the new one has the potential to hit someone the range and telegraph often see the target just side step it with a mouse click. So even though it can do more because its a skill shot it is much less actually usefull than it used to be.
