Is anyone else concerned with the Ornn nerf?
PBE Notes:
- Bellows Breath (W) advance is no longer unstoppable.
- Call of the Forge God (R) cooldown increased from 130/100/70 to 140/120/100
His W is no longer unstoppable? WHY!?!?! Why get rid of his ability to ignore CC for a short window of time, which was one of the reasons I picked him up in the first place since it was an interesting aspect of him, when people are complaining about his damage? Has the balance team ever considered lowering the brittle proc damage or lower the duration of brittle by maybe a 1-1.5 seconds, or lower the Q damage, or anything else besides this? Hell, just fucking revert the nerf to him by going back to current health on W, maybe add base stats on if it was really that bad.
As far as I can tell, nobody complained about Ornn not getting hit with CC during his W, they complained about his damage. His W as it is right now at least when talking about the unstoppable part, is one of my favorite things about Ornn. It can be a show of skill of maybe properly dodging some CC to either get to an opponent or even escape. It gives some skill to him outside of his easy-to-read Q->E combo.
Ornn is one of the few new champs and top laners that I truly love top play. Taking away his Unstoppable is the complete opposite of what people are saying. Most people complain that tanks shouldn't be doing shit tons of damage anyway and that buff you gave to him with max health just did that. So now because of that, instead of lowering/reverting the damage, you're taking away an aspect of him that appealed to people like me and leaving him in line with tank champs that just do shit tons of damage. Because this is League of Legends currently! We don't want to admit mistakes like Malzahar or other failed reworks or want to balance the game out throughout the lanes, we want to buff ADCs incredably, makes games decided by who wins bot lane, and just have damage through the roof and increase the snowball factor!
If these changes really go through, I'm completely giving up on the idea that the current balance is doing their job or knows what the players want and more so on League. This is beyond a stupid way to nerf him and I've just had about enough of this shit balancing once and for all.
