Stop nerfing and changing champions when your god awful items are the problem.

Most of all - stop changing shit for the sake of changing it.

But anyway - as the title says. Yes there are champions that need to be nerfed and adjusted, but riot is literally sitting there balancing the game around items, and not champions.

Oh you lowered Ekko's base damage? Fantastic, that still does absolutely nothing. SFC/IBG and other tank items still allow him to remain nearly unkillable with his kit.

Top lane sucks, it used to be fun. Outplays used to happen, now losing lane means absolutely nothing because EVERY champion can simply itemize fast enough to act like it didn't happen. (Looking at you ZZROT). It's not fun. I highly doubt anyone disagrees with me on this.

You just continuously change champions, either A.) rendering them to shit. Or B.) doing nothing. You've yet to figure out that you literally can't balance them without adjusting or ridding of items as a whole.

Not enough research is done as to how items interact with every champion, and how MANY can simply abuse it.

The fact you are attributing Tank Ekko's brokeness to IBG and Sunfire, instead of the badly directed nerfs (aka they should have hit the utility, like they will do after like 50 threads suggesting it) means you dont know exactly what are you really talking about.

Yes, Riot's item balancing sucks ass (nerfing RE's base damages while nor buffing ratios, all the MYMU that mostly benefit AP assassins, constant bruiser nerfs and adc buffs on many items, etc).

But Tankko is not an issue of this. The items always existed, and aside from Ezreal and release Evelynn, there has never been an abuse case for either of them.

"Top Lane Sucks, it use to be fun." Sunfire Cape has always existed to me. I ran in on bushwhack Garen, always. Maybe you're just looking for an outlet. Considering you like playing tanks and bruisers mostly. Popular ones at that.

Just come to terms that you need to understand that items are suppose to give advantages.

Just like we have overloaded champs, we have overloaded items. It's not hard to see why every ADC is rushing Ghost blade when it offers so much more than any BF item for so much less

Why don't you tell us what you know about balance rather than just ranting about change?

Could we, idk..... remove item 3142 ?? It's making Riven Zed MonkeyKing Khazix TalonLucian Rengar stronger than they really should be. If buffs/minor compensation needs to happen, so be it. But right now, that is a huuuuge balancing problem for AD assassins/fighters/Lucian.

Every one of the items you are complaining about are only OP on a few champs. It's much easier to nerf a few champs than try to re-balance an item for everyone in the game.

Yeah, and stop nerfing/changing items when the god awful champions are the problem.

I disagree with you.

I agree totally. You should take a look at my post, it talks about this phrase:

Most of all - stop changing shit for the sake of changing it.
