Champions that should be toned downed for healthier game state.

  1. Kai'sa - this champion is pretty obviously too strong right now, the damage she does is unreal, and she has a lot more than just damage in her kit. When I am playing solo queue and I see this champion on the enemy team get picked I know we are about to lose, because she literally 1v5's the game.

  2. Janna - Champion is pretty gross rn, there is really not a lot of counter play to her. In lane, she has great poke with sorc. tree and is oppressive to deal with as AD or meele supp champions, because not only does she poke so well, but she also enables her adc to trade incredibly well with shield in lane, and is near impossible to gank if she isn't playing terrible due to her q/ult. But out of lane she is even worse, getting on any key targets is way to difficult due to her double hard cc and huge shield. Also her shield turns any ad into a monstrosity, Kai,sa is the worst because she already gets a monster shield from her ult and tones of mobility and safety from steal. Top that off with janna roids and the two of these champions will take over the game. And the problem is that, with janna there is really not a lot you can do to out play her, you cant out play a huge shield that gives 45 AD + ardent buffs. Her shield CD is the same length as her shield duration.

  3. Zoe - Champion is really just not fun to play against, not saying she is OP right now, but... its just never fun having to dodge skill shots from fog for 30 minutes knowing that if 1 hits you you will either lose up to 60% of your hp or die out right depending on the game state.

  4. Ezreal - Champion has great lane phase, then scales up to power way quicker than other AD's, and is incredibly difficult to punish due to his range and mobility.

  5. Xin/Graves - I honestly like the jungle changes, because it encourages more intelligent play from both laners and junglers, and there are less cookie cutter paths, but these two champions dominate too hard in the 1v1 jungle meta, its not like lee sin or elise when they were strong, when you could out play each other, they just walk at you and start shitting on you, pretty unfun gameplay. Maybe, just a base stat nerf on damage or movement speed.

With Kai'sa I think she needs power shifts. Her kit isn't exactly a problem with how it plays. It's just tuned in extremely stupid ways, like how much %hp damage her passive deals with rageblade + nashor's, and how her evolved Q has a 1.48 AP ratio for a single target. That's about twice as much AP scaling as most abilities with a similar cooldown have. It's disgustingly out of line especially considering the synergy her kit already has with rageblade + nashor's.

It's really frustrating how Riot has decided to nerf her in places that weren't causing the problems and left this stuff alone.

It's definitely possible for that kit to be healthy without being totally remade. Like change her passive to flat damage, nerf her Q's AP ratio, maybe nerf the AD scaling on R shield?
