New Thornmail is broken as hell.

I was playing my bronze 2 promos as a vladimir top and I saw that my team's adc kept dying everytime he tried to attack Thresh. It was ridiculous really, seeing the support 1v1 the adc, especially when my adc was fairly fed and the thresh hadn't done too well in laning (0/2/3). As the game went on, the Thresh was starting to get out of control. He seemed to be able to 1v1 most of my teammates, and was rotating mid and topside more and more (I could dodge his engage with my pool easily, so no big deal). Eventually, I (11/2/3), tried to shut him down, but somehow died as soon as I auto! I checked his items, and saw the thornmail, and when questioning how he was doing it, he gave me a stupidly simple reason why he was so strong.

Thornmail now scales with armor. Thresh gets infinite armor. Thresh now does infinite damage to anybody who autoattacks him.

Rito, I demand that this change be immediately reverted. How can you let a "tank" character get infinite damage just from standing around minions? Not only can his abilities become infinitely powerful, but now he can one shot anyone that attacks him? This is broken as hell, and the balance team should be fired as soon as possible for this horrendous change that has caused a previously balanced champion to now be able to one shot anyone on the team that attacks him. How can a Thresh with a measly 8000 armor be able to kill anyone that tries to attack him? Even a simple bronze player can see how broken and stupid the new thornmail is. More armour = more damage? Juggernaut meta? No. Welcome back to the tank meta.

Kappa.

Yes, this whole post is a joke. Yes, I am actually in bronze. No, we did not have a Thresh that got to 8000 armor and one shot everyone.

In other news:

Titanic Hydra too strong. Sion can do 8000 damage with the active(he just needs to get 80000 health first, from 40000 minion kills...)

Nasus is pure cancer, Siphoning Strike deals 8000 damage(after only 2333 minion kills). Rito pls nerf.

Veigar is OP. Rito, I demand you take away his abilities(except for his cage) because he can one-shot people with infinity AP.

...Riot heard me wrong on the last one and just took away his cage :P

It is broken alright, just not in the good way lol


Why is the OP getting down voted? Did people not actually read and assumed he was serious?

Of course it's broken, you see the hole Riot put in it? I'm surprised it can even reduce damage at this point.
