We have a big, big problem this preseason (Extension of S5 Tank Brutality)

Let me start by first addressing the grievous wounds changes. Lowering it's effective healing debuff percentage from 50% - 40% is actually tolerable and incidentally, due to the introduction of the new item named Mortal Reminder, is necessary to perform. However, the game developers have made a big mistake in altering the mechanics of how grievous wounds works by making it only affect the individual champion being targeted heals, rather then the previous mechanics of reducing all healing sources. This initially means that a bottom lane adc's ignite can be easily disregarded and "shrugged off" throughout all laning phase if their opposing laner are partnered up with a healing support such as Sona, Soraka, Alistar (all of these champs are typically chosen in gameplay for a support role) and etc. Imagine engaging in a duel as a bottom lane ADC with a level 6 or above Vayne (no offense, but another champion who was buffed unnecessarily when in actuality, 2/3rd of the league player base was calling for her nerf) that has a summoner spell of heal or a Soraka support... Nevertheless, during a late game team fights (which every player must eventually participate in) when the opposing team is equipped with loads of damage and either magic or armor penetration and lifesteal/spell vamp and/or spirit visage, the usefulness of obtaining any grievous wound stats will be too ineffective. Undoubtedly, perhaps the initial purpose behind healing debuff nerf was to allow more diversity in choices between summoner spells, rather than ignite (which we already had during S5, with teleport being the most chosen among top laners and exhaust/heal being constantly selected amongst support), however, this is unlikely the motive.

I'll type more of my observation and experience with this preseason on another paragraph seperate to this one since! Typing too much words in one paragraph will cause...LeeSin

All we have is problems right now. Riot broke their game.

Now for the real problem: Secondly, why out of all items they buffed and nerfed this patch (which I can include all the comparisons' here but it will be too much for a forum post) are most health stat based items increasing for the number of health which they provide? We already have a problem with this during Season 5 (where tanks who are yet to be nerfed like Darius, and to sidebar on him having the highest base AD on the game along with Garen being 4th), where these tanks that are able to inflict substantial amount of damage with only 1 armor penetration item and 4 defensive item. In addition to inputting a noticeably high damage output, they cannot be neglected or dodged due to items such as Deadman's Plate, Mercury Treads/Boots of Swiftness and Righteous Glory. Why in the world will they decide to unnecessarily buff Spirit Visage with an extra 100 health (it makes a difference, especially when:) 10 extra magic resist is included? This is totally unnecessary, especially due to the fact that Last Whisper has been hit hard (I have to stop ranting lol, but it makes absolutely no sense to do this when we have an issue with tanks) with it's armor penetration only scaling with bonus armor; and on top of this the effect is unique for love's sake, meaning it cannot stack with it's own! Consequently, In late game against a tanky bruiser, this is similiar to an average civilian wrapping his/her hands in cotton candy and attempting go toe to toe with the current UFC champion (Fabricio Werdum during the time of writing this). This is tank facism to a whole new level! Not change!

In no way am I trying to discourage you guys from speaking your opinions about the wrongful changes in the game, but I am giving you a reality check when I say this:

Rito is a business! They do not give, even a tiny bit of a damn on what you, an individual, or the community thinks towards their game and their changes! To them, their franchise is more then likely very similiar to a famous Wutang Clan song: "Cash rules everything around me, Cream!" Lol but jokes aside, you get the point. I can tell you without a shadow of doubt that no Rito member will read this post and more importantly, you will just get down voted by the forum administrator and others that feel infuriated once they view a headline which contradicts any changes which Rito makes!

Your better off either saving your vocabulary or opinions on some other forum which interests you other than this one, or you have to swallow every ounce of criticism which your mind is thinking of and forget about posting them anywhere in this forum.

After all, Rito put the community on mute...only certain individuals are "considered to be worth hearing."
