Nerfing system

ScamTheMan··3 votes·392 views

I want to ask, how Riot nerf and buff champions. Because in this day, everyone plays Yasuo, Darius, Jhin, Katarina and so on, because they are overpowered. I want to know, if they have nerf-buff system used on Challenger or Diamond league, because i am low and I know it, but I bought Kindred yesterday and tried to play her. And Yasuo had after 10 minutes 8/1/6. And if I tried to go near him, he instakilled me with 1 basic attack. Like, WTF ? Kindred has so low stats at begin nor Yasuo has 100x stronger. I know he is assasin and I am squishy ADC, but how can I fight him? I really wanted to be LoL one of my favorite game, but it really can be with this unbalanced champions. Or something like Katarina. If you are better than Gold, you can counter her. But if you are lower = 0% chance. With R she get so much power to kill everyone in 2 seconds.

You're... calling... Yasuo/Darius/Jhin/Katarina OP...

Why isn't this joke thread in M&G?

I think I've spent too much time on the boards.

I'm starting to identify a player's ranking based on who they are complaining about and the arguments they use.

Or maybe it's because the OP said "I'm low and I know it" [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

That said, this board alone manages to irritate me enough with some of the stupid comments made, and almost compulsory habit of downvoting every thread that exists.

Jhin is not broken, one strong assassin and he is not in a single teamfight, kata is kinda noobish but not that hard to counter, Kindred can be really powerful, You can poke darius to death so they are not broken in any way. The game is not the most balanced in the world but it's not that bad though. Good yasuo is broken AF and even bad one is strong, but it's hard to balance him without changing his spells. Just ban him or learn how to play champion that counters yso.

Katarina has to snowball and get luden's echo finished before she can truly begin blowing people up, as without the item, her bust tends to be pretty lackluster. The issue I have with Katarina's ult is that it is designed as an ability made to shred hp, but instead of shredding, it simply bursts the shit out of anything not possessing an extreme amount of tankiness. Secondly, Yasuo counters Kindred because she's a marksman, and Yasuo was literally designed around the playstyle of being able to counter champions who rely on projectiles to do damage: marksman are the very embodiment of this playstyle. Darius can get kited to hell and back, but a good Darius will simply dodge the kite and farm his way to dunkville. Jhin is annoying to play against, but I can always shit on even the best ones if I'm playing Quinn because she can pop him like a balloon and out-DPS him, and Yasuo gets countered most melee champions, and with Katarina all you need is one cc spell and she's done.
