The Season 6 Balance Thread!

DevilishMetal··1 votes·475 views

I figured it may be a good idea to compile all the complaints, compliments etc about Season 6 into one big thread. Note that this will be a WIP and I will add things as I see fit (major complaints etc).

Warlord's Bloodlust: You know what I'm about to say: free lifesteal on Yasuo, Trynd, etc. I won't sugarcoat it, this keystone is way over the top. Thinking maybe replace the lifesteal with another, healthier mechanic. Movespeed?

Marksmen: Okay, I like the updates to the champions a lot. They're all quite well done to the champion identities with Cait's headshot and Quinn's ult. However, the items are a bit overtuned and are enforcing a "ad all the time" meta, to a certain extent. Dominik's Regards is somewhat annoying, Essence Reaver Lucian, as much as I love it, is way too crazy, etc. Nerfs to a few items, those two included, would probably be reasonable (dont gut reaver pls i love lucian)

Minions: I see the complaints on the boards, and I understand why it's a problem, but I feel fine with it. I feel like the goal was to have low leveled teams have minions under tower to get xp from but it wasn't delivered too well. Needs work.

AP and Armor nerfs: Armor nerfs were a bit silly in my opinion, with the rise of items like Dominik's Regards. That's all I have to say on that. On AP items, I feel like AP is undervalued by a lot of players at the moment- high, long range burst is huge for killing squishies (adcs).

Anything you think needs to be added? Leave a comment, I'll see what I can do.

Well, the new Quinn sucks compared to the old one. If you were to face the new Qunn against the old one, my old school girl would be making chicken wings out of the new Quinn corpse, as valor is now just an scared chicken-horse.... woah a gigantic legendary war eagle that runs crying when it see's an enemy.. woah such a legend.

The Warlords Bloodlust: OP, just OP all over it. It would have been better just to make it grant extra % critical chance or just a bit of extra crit damage. Or at least make it regenerate life overtime equal to your crit chance over 10 seconds, so if you have 10% crit chance you will just regenerate 10 life and you won't be able to spam the healing like the lifesteal does.

Marksmen: thanks for making Quinn even more weak, less versatile, less reliable and more of an easy prey.... and disguise the huge nerf as a buff.

Minions: needs a fix.

AP: the main problem was Echo of Ludens.... ECHO ECHO ECHO..... I mean seriusly the whole nerf was about that item, they introduced Ludens and it became a must used for almost every mage... Lesson: "we wanted to fix the problem that Deathfire Torch caused so we are going to do something even far worse".

To be fair about the point on DFG's removal- it did invalidate a few full AP build, which was the goal. Hoever,Ludens is worse on mages that are actually mages- I agree on that point.
