Løthric··2 votes·6,685 views

I have been plays a lot of games with ekko latly. I have decided to main him. What can i expect for ekko in the future? will he be buffed nerfed, or just kept the same. I honestly dont have an opinion on this i just want to ask the balencing team where ekko is headed.

We don't have any current plans for Ekko, so it's quite likely he'll be unchanged for at least a few patches.

Do you have any plans for Diana or Lux? To me they seem a bit on the strong side for the last few patchs.

Don't derail the thread just because Meddler showed up. This is part of the reason they don't comment much.

where was i angry?

The part where you want to pretend Riot doesn't have valid reasons for not commenting.

the quintessence of rage clearly

Dextix LT1 votes

Well, they dont......

The raging always comes from bad decisions (mordekaiser). So people have a valid reason for rage, because it wasnt them that fcked up.

? He literally said nothing negative about Riot. He just said they don't avoid the boards because of people hijacking threads. Actually read posts before deciding to insult someone.

Deep Terror Nami1 votes

It's not about this post. He is a regular forum troll that only talks shit. I'm referencing his general anger at them, not that he demonstrated here.

It doesn't help.

If you want to ask Meddler a question, make your own thread. Otherwise, don't derail and stay on topic unless it shifts toward a topic you want to ask.

Honestly, when will people just leave Riot. Sometimes people like Meddler need to take a brake from the hundreds of nonsensical comments filling there Boards update page. I'll have to agree with you on that one :3

We're keeping an eye on both, with Lux especially looking like she might be too strong. No immediate plans that I know of for either of them though, in part because preseason's coming up soon and that'll shake up balance in general, so it's possible they may not need any changes after that.

please don't nerf Lux, she is finally viable, but not insanely overpowered. People are just upset because they haven't had to learn to play against her. at least give Lux some time to be in the spotlight to see if people can learn to adjust against her much like they learned to play against people like Yasuo, etc.

She was already "viable" before, you and anyone else were just upset you can't win with her unless she's dominant. She even had a high pick rate this entire season.

Lux has always been viable. She was sitting at 52% win rate before her buffs. Now she's edging on 56%. She's too strong at the moment. Not overpowered, but her unnecessary buffs were, well, unnecessary. This is coming from someone who enjoys playing Lux from time to time, before and after her nerfs.

she didnt get any damage buffs. the only damage buff sort of is the second binding is now the same as first. which is a moderate buff at best. the rest were quality of life that made her a lot more fluid to use.

i don't think they should revert the E or W change if they do nerf. if they want to revert the Q back to half damage on second binding thats ok. but the other two just made her a lot smoother to play. the insta cast shield is so nice as it actually allows you to counterplay people who going to burst you. and the E insta detonate is perfect for landing it now. The Q was the only real damage buff.

I wish people would stop acting like she was immensely buffed or something.

Master of EVIL901 votes

almost all AP items got buffed that patch, indirectly buffing all mages in the entirety of League as a whole (yes, even Yorick)

Stephenizgod1 votes

Yorick scales better off of AD though.

Actually her buffs made her lane more effectively. The only buff I'd probably remove atleast is the mana cost on Q and range increase of slow on E ( which they only increased for those with higher ping if I am correct)

The secondary buffs like full snare on Q on secondary target (I wouldn't mind if this were removed aswell), midflight activation (gragas got this too), and immediate shield aplication are quite "healthy" buffs.

Lux, compared to other "control"/ "burst" mages is still weaker what they can do compared to her. She still needs 3 items if not more to clear a whole minion wave. It's ridicilous that she can't kill caster minions with one full maxed E. cough cough Viktor, Velkoz, Ziggs, Anivia, Azir, Xerath.

I agree she was always strong, the reason why her winrate went up is also because more people picked her up aswell. 56 % doesn't mean a champion is unbalanced, some are balanced at 48%, some at 50% and some at 55%.

I don't mind the nerfs but I really want to see what balance team will do, cause sometimes their choices are well questionable.

Meddler , how do you explain the lack of cassio changes in the recent patchs ? if you say its because she is fine then you are just blind to the truth . cassio is the urgot 2.0 it's criminal how little attention she gets , i know that Cassiopeia is pretty much a forbidden topic . and i know that the balance team will never agree that the cassio rework ( as mordekaiser one ) was meh because of your ego . No matter how much threads the community wrote about the reworked champs , you just ignore feedback . It's disgusting how you are oppressing a minority

What about Fizz? I find him extremely oppressive to deal with in lane. He deals a lot of dmg just with a sheen. And at lvl It's insta-death.

Master of EVIL901 votes

Meddler, I'm starting to see why Rioters try to stay away from commenting. though it is nice to have Rioters to comment on posts as much as possible, I personally would avoid my home in the Champ and Skin Concepts section if every comment I made start a rage debate over stupid thing.

I do still envy you though :3

can you not. I feel like if my mid lane can't play against some one he probably shouldn't mid lane.

hes actually really strong tbh u should start checking up on him

RedCyclone4 votes

Uhrm...have you by any chance seen the front page?

Most importantly, is there any Morde/Sona/Cass changes planned to actually better these champions in the aspect that they all got shafted by a rework

Dextix LT1 votes

Can i ask when are you going to fix mordekaiser? Dont nerf him, that will make him unplayable. I just want to ask where is the post rework support you promised?

I apologise if this is derailing the thread, but this is the only way for any Rioter to see a mordekaiser complaint because they always seem to ignore them on the threads dedicated to mordekaiser.

If you go "I'm going to main him" then immediately ask about whether hes going to be buffed or nerfed it makes me think you "main" him. Js

Of all the posts to reply to Riot chooses the one that isn't even given enough thought to be spell checked.

This is now a TombDragon police thread, he will arrest you for disagreeing with him.

It seems to me Ekko is actually in a nice place currently, maybe a few tweaks here and there. He can be a little strong without any reason to be that strong, but with a bit o teamwork its not a big deal to punish him.
