The limit of Potions SEVERELY NERFS all Melee champions hard. (Top lane perspective).

I'll start with an example. Let's say I play Jarvan IV top against a Gnar. No retarded Gnar would walk up to J4 and start taking hits. No, Gnar would zone out J4 and CS using his range advantage. How does J4 win this lane?

Well aside from the obvious counter poke with his Q, he needs to be able to trade damage equal to that of Gnar to have a chance. But with the recent potion change limiting them, you can't trade as a melee mana using champtions because your sustain has been drastically reduced. You are limited to 1 type of pot. Either you give up harass potential or you give up hp sustain. (You can no longer buy HP pots and another pot that heals MP). As a Jarvan, pokers are now able to stand back hit you from far away and win because they will always have the sustain advantage. You are forced to tower CS.

Top lane may be seeing some way more passive play with just two ranged pokers csing under turret because your typical melees become much less capable of farming and therefore less useful.

<-------- I imagine seeing some of these a lot more often top lane. As opposed to Irelia, Darius, Fiora, Wukong, Hecarim, Jarvan, Jax, etc.

BRING BACK POTION BUYING!

When sustain resources become scarce, there's less action, more CS, and a slowing of the pace of the game. I for one absolutely HATE this change.

Pre Patch J4 trades go all in do damage. Even trade. Go back tower heals with pots. Return to lane. MORE ACTION Post Patch J4 trades go all in do damage. Shit no more sustain and I'm getting poked the fuck out. Go back to base. Refill pots. Repeat.

This maybe a simplistic way of looking at it. But nevertheless it holds truths. Though yes this nerfs bruisers in general, but it hurts perfectly balanced champions that use mana like Wukong, J4, Hecarim etc. (Nerf champs like Darius not all melee, mana using champs....)

Ranged champions have less room for error now tipping the balance in their favour. I am calling for a revert back to old pot system. (Note: Pots have already been nerfed, they cost more. That alone should be enough)

Please share. I enjoy playing this game but this change has severely hindered my experience and with I'm sure many other players.
