Might aswell just remove Aatrox, Akali and Galio from this game.

Literally stripped their identities.

Galio was meant to be an anti-mage tank with defense and initiation. Yeah just remove everything that is this champion was meant to be and slap a bit of damage to compensate.

Aatrox was meant to be this strong bruiser drain tank that can revive. Now what is he? He is just another generic bruiser with nerf after nerf. He is nothing special anymore. He is getting another healing nerf next patch.

Akali was meant to be a nimble assassin that can assassinate multiple targets but it requires skill and outplay compared to other assassins. You removed the one unique thing about her, nerfed her damage 500 times. Next patch her R stun is being removed completely so now she will have 0 chance to fight anybody now.

This balance team and community is disgusting. Jax sitting at 54% winrate, better buff Jax Q cooldown because why not?

Irelia is causing problems in solo queue and pro play like Akali, Aatrox and Galio, but has she had her identity stripped? Of course not because people enjoy playing against a juggernaut that cannot be kited with infinite mobility.

Fiora has not been nerfed once since 7.14.

Watch out, the riot bootlickers are gonna downvote your post and write 7 paragraphs about how great the reworks were.

Game is balanced around pro-play.

Cause you can always get better at the game and pull things like Asol/Azir/Akali/Aatrox/Galio/kalista off in 99% of the ladder.

If shit was balanced around low elo, let's say plat for example, it would mean tons of champions would be busted AF in pro/challenger.

I'd rather see Riot balance around pro than the entire spectrum since they are not willing to simply ban some champions in pro play(which would be the best course of action IMO) (What I mean is they could have a 10 champ permaban list that consists of the 10 best(a combination of top pick/ban/win ratio in pro) pro champions, and it updates on a patch-to-patch basis, would bring a more diverse meta and would leave mechanically challenging/team oriented champions in a more playable state for soloQ)

idk why people haven't gotten the picture yet.

Riot doesn't care about what people think. ESPECIALLY people on the boards.

If you want people (that matter) to read your arguments -- make a reddit account.

Galio was meant to be an anti-mage tank with defense and initiation

Is he anti-mage? Yes, he has anti-magic shield and is rewarded for building mres Is he a tank? Yes, you can build him tanky, again he is rewarded for building mres and he has a lot of cc so he is still useful without damage items Can he initiate? Yes, with either E. flash-W or both

Aatrox was meant to be this strong bruiser drain tank that can revive.

Is he a bruiser? Yes Is he a drain tank? Yes Can he revive? No, but healing 50% hp on takedown is as close to revive as we can get without making him unpunishable

Akali was meant to be a nimble assassin that can assassinate multiple targets but it requires skill and outplay compared to other assassins.

She never worked like this. She was a sustained damage assassin that requires several rotations to kill her target, and for this she had her low cd Q and E, reset on R and sustain on passive and gunblade. Her gameplay was literally dash into target, blow your Q-E-AA, wait for cds in W/Zhonyas, repeat. She can't miss something, there is nothing she can waste except W, but she also can't do anything more than this. Now she is a sustained damage assassin that has stronger but bigger cd R and still can't kill in one 0.1 sec combo, so she is required to hit several Qs and proc several passives. And instead of relying on sustain to survive her cds, she has to rely on her W and mobility spells more, and they were improved specially for this.

Irelia is causing problems in solo queue and pro play like Akali, Aatrox and Galio, but has she had her identity stripped?

B...but the disarm...and anti-shield passive... Actually in my opinion Irelia's old identity was about planning her minion Qs(to the point of using ult charges on minions so that she can use them to reposition), turning losing 1x1 and 1x2 fights around with her passive, W, E and R that gave her better effects for being outnumbered or having lower hp. This "identity" was utterly ruined by the rework with that bonus minion damage on Q so that she can oneshot ranged minions much easier, and all that marks that allow her to just dash in the face. We already had tons of champions that dash at their enemies and lost 1 of 2 champions who dashed on nearby minions instead

Fiora has not been nerfed once since 7.14.

And nobody ever picks her? But scaling %max hp true damage coupled with hypermobility should be op, right?

Good, Akali doesn't deserve to be viable in solo Q with that many safety nets, an abusive laning phase and a good late game.

I love new Galio's visuals, but his numbers and abilities need tuned to make him that anti-mage he's supposed to be. His taunt is the one thing that's truly anti mage. His abilities don't give buffs that help people catch up to mages, or survive their burst, nothing. Imagine if his Q provided a speed boost to allies that walk through it, or his E gave a sudden burst of Magic Resist to allies he passed through, or a magic shield on his ult target. So many things could bring him back into that anti mage status.
