Nerfs

Just wondering why the hell Tryndamere, Yi, Jax, and Riven haven't all been looked at and nerfed? Tryndamere either dominates lane and wins the game or splitpushes and wins the game, jax does the same and so does yi, and riven can just get deaths dance and spear of shojin while running conq and then she can literally 1v5 after being cc chained for upwards of 4 seconds? They're all champions that just haven't been nerfed because of pro play but always get complained about being unbalanced and anti fun to play against. It actually makes no sense as to why they haven't been nerfed.

So tryndamere and yi do not need nerfs. Have you ever seen those champions die 1v1 pre-6 to the enemy jungler? They literally never get back in the game. Ever. Holy hell do tryn and yi lose hard when they are properly counter jungled.

Jax and Riven though, I agree with those two. Possibly removing spear of shojin would destroy both of them. Maybe a tweek to trinity force?

Not if they just brainlessly splitpush, they farm and then 1v5. They get back into the game just fine

This is coming from someone who is mastery 7 on both yi and tryn. Also from someone who is consistently gold in these metas, these assassin and damage based metas.

Yi and tryndamere do not win from behind. Each wave of gold, if all are killed is about 100g. Each kill is 300.

Ontop of that, tryndamere can't wave clear from behind, he would have to build tiamat, which would leave him open to die in every trade. The game would have to go for 45 minute. And in this meta, thats not an average game.

If yi dies, he is put behind in his jungle clears, possibly his jungle invaded, his buffs gone and most likely lost a lane due to no presence. Yi can't clear fast enough early without help from those buffs, especially if he is being invaded. A jungler behind will lose all 3 lanes eventually.

If those champions are put behind, they will lose the game. If you don't know how to end the game pre 30 minutes, then its not those champions, its you.

4 bot, 1 top, jungler grabs dragon, rift and catches mid. You'll take all 4 towers in 5 minutes if yi and tryn are behind because they can't team fight behind.

20 minutes, red ward a bush by the baron. Bait baron, get a kill, kill baron, push mid and win. Both top and bottom will be pushing lanes and youll get 3 inhibs by 25 minutes in.

You're welcome.

Because champions are generally nerfed based on their performance in game. Champions are not nerfed because they don't just aram on rift all the time nor for over-exagerrated claim. Like this is supposed to be a strategy game of sort. So players may maneuver on the field, attack weaker enemy positions, flank, force advantageous fights on key targets or whatever. Why the hell would we nerf the characters they use to do that to try to punish players for doing that?
