EVERYTHING that needs to be fixed before champion balance can happen @meddler a high elo perspective
Here is a list of disproportionate game mechanics that should be looked at before touching any champ including yasuo graves (with a couple of exceptions that i will list below)
WARLORDS BLOODLUST AND BOND OF STONE HAVE NERFS/HOTFIXES ON THE WAY AND ARE THEREFORE NOT INCLUDED HERE
-Tier 2 and tier 3 towers need to have there health buffed as they were not proportionately increased based off of the resistances they lost
-Rageblade needs to be back in line with the value of some items as its close to 4500 gold in stats for a 2500 gold item (ie for comparison is not even gold efficient at 3500 gold)
-The increased healing and shields masteries need to be nerfed probably by half
-The healing and shields increase on windspeakers blessing should not apply to oneself
-45 percent cdr may need to go unless you feel its ok to gut hecarim karma and alot of other champs if you intend to keep it (i would like this to be done last if necessary because it is insanely fun)
-Fervor of battle and Grasp of the undying are too similar so one will always be better for bruisers. REMOVE ONE AND REPLACE IT WITH SOMETHING INTERESTING (i recommend removing fervor or changing it drastically because yasuo nidalee eve and irelia can abuse it much better than the rest of the cast as they have permanent full stacks in the case of yas and nid and near full stacks on engagement as irelia and eve.
-** IMPORTANT*** The removal of Veteran scars (the flat health in the defensive masteries) has disproportional buffed champions who depend on early burst timings and windows of opportunity namely irelia leblanc and syndra (there are others but its hard to name them all). i would like to see some compensation for some late game champs like GP and ryze (there are others just cant name them all here) to compensate or i think a majority of the community will find these champs largely overpowered at the moment if this patch were more in a vacuum with the veteran scars removal
-Item balance is aweful. Deaths dance is bad shiv is busted when compared to last patch. IE is too weak. im sure there are a whole host of complaints here that are pretty easy to spot for the balance team. we want small changes and fast
We want changes now upvote if you agree. WE DONT want our champs changed too much before you figure out the patch.
Overall i LIKE THE NEW PATCH. SINCE IM NOT REWARDED FOR PLAYING PASSIVELY. it was boring to sit as gp and scale for 20 minutes. now i dont have to do that.
