Proposition: Range champions auto attack do less damage to melee champions

Hibeki··2 votes·637 views

Yes, this is a hugely drastic change and it will 100% change the meta.

'Marksman' have been incredibly stale, unfun, and boring to play as and against for years. They melt tanks before they even get to them.

Lets think about what this change will effect

Melee assassins will become dominant in the mid lane

Champions like Zed, Talon, and other melee assassins will become insanely popular. In order from the meta to not shift back to Assassin meta again, Assassins will need to be reworked accordingly in the assassin patch.

The range vs melee matchup will become balanced

Range vs melee has always been a cancer matchup. Now melee can fight back without being 100 - 0 without being kited.

Kite ranged champions will become popular and meta

Kite will need a slight nerf so that melee are allowed to compete. If this change goes through, the meta will consist of champions that can endlessly kite so they can get all their damage off. It will need nerfed SLIGHTLY, enough to where ranged isn't 100% dominating with this

Melee ADC options will be explored

Remember morde being made to play bot lane? Now we might actually explore this option. Other options like Tryndamere, Olaf, and other hard hitting melee based attackers will be explored botlane for a much more versatile and interesting game.

Thoughts?

Proposition: Melee champions auto attack deal less damage to ranged champions

Yes, this is a hugely drastic change and it will 100% change the meta.

Bruisers and assassins have been incredibly stale, unfun, and boring to play as and against for years. They just dash onto you and melt you before you can ever get any damage off.

Let's think about what this change will affect:

Melee assassins will absolutely suck No more Zed. No more Talon. No more other melee assassins. Sounds pretty good to me. And they'll be taken out of the meta until they can be reworked properly to be balanced in the assassin patch.

Ranged vs melee will become balanced Range vs melee has always been a cancer matchup. Now ranged can fight back without being 100-0 after being dashed on without being able to kite

If this change goes through, the meta will consist of champions that can endlessly kite so they can get all their damage off. It will need nerfed SLIGHTLY, enough to where ranged isn't 100% dominating with this

Melee ADC options will stop being explored Remember morde being made to play bot lane? Remember how much it sucked? Now people will actually stop doing this. Other options like Tryndamere, Olaf, and other hard hitting melee based attackers will stop being explored botlane for a much more versatile and interesting game without trolls.

btw don't take this too seriously. But I get the temptation to do this whenever people make suggestions for the meta based on how they'd like it to be.

You also ought to consider some of the other stuff, like pretty much all of the ranged supports/mids getting dunked on when you're really targeting ADC's.... Karma's like cool and meta now without being blatantly ridiculous like Zyra and Sona were, and I want her to stay that way.

I approve of any Yasuo nerf.

the only reason why people do not pick yi,tryndamere as adc, is because the range. you basically want to delete range melee carries.

this is a stupid idea not only do adc do no damage to tank or bruisers because they do damage while building armor you want to make it harder for them to do damage. Whats stopping me from taking yasuo bot now with a blitz because they will do less damage to us or morde and leona?

i agree. Marksman need serious nerfs.

agree
