A Twitter post came out late yesterday, concerning the 0 CS top lane off-meta play style, and how there will be a hotfix added to "fix it". I know a lot of people have already commented on the Twitter post, but I really just want to get an overall community opinion. Are these changes healthy for the state of the game or detrimental for supports?
Honestly, these changes are dumb. If the "0 cs" top lane strategy work because of the spellthief + Klepto synergy, just hit Klepto which is generally NOT used by supports (except Sona which yet has other good runes available for her)
Klepto basically allow you to get 10 gold every 10 seconds through two autoattacks (so 5 gold for AA). Just reduce the amount of gold you get from Klepto to something like 3 gold for AA, so you get 6 gold every 10 seconds. If you think that's too much of a nerf, add also a +1 gold if the Klepto AA kill a minion, so you lose gold if you use those on minions but you are still encourage to not only harass with Klepto
Problem solved, Klepto still give you a sizable amount of money, but you can't abose the passive gold gen to just freely harass without worrying about CSing
I like them it won't do much to hurt support and in some cases will actually buff the amount of gold supports get.
I wonder how many times support items need to break the game before Riot realizes they're fundamentally flawed
Shouldn't bother me too much since I rarely stay in my lane solo whenever my ADC recalls back.
They honestly should've just hit klepto
Now you need yo have someone with you to be able to get gold from spellthief and you can't get gold if you adc recalls etc
I mostly play support, often rotating from enchanters, mages and tanks. Targon's already required an ally to proc the tribute. I don't have an issue with the other two lines falling under the same rule.
Your poll is completely flawed. Something can be detrimental to supports as a role while simultaneously being healthy for the game in terms of getting rid of bad gameplay abuse.
Also, I hope Riot actually fixes this issue beyond this "quick fix," because they acknowledge it's not a good fix, but instead a bandaid - but they really need to commit and find a better fix than this.
As a support main, I am not sure how I feel about this. They definitely need to do something to fix the "no CSing" top lane thing going on ASAP, but hopefully this doesn't effect me
I mean, it only effects spell thief so once it's upgraded it works like normal so it should be fine, right?
Thanks riot!! Killing an entire role because a few people like to play off meta in top :) why not nerf klepto? That shits broken as is
