So how would you rate this balance of the game?

I really hate the state of the game, Riot balancing team revolving their world and mind around a small circle of meta champions that the pro uses rather then balance old champion to maybe bring them at least close to the meta.

I was watching Scarra and ImQp talk about how trash the balancing is for the game, Scarra even said he doesn't even get why the hell the reworked assassins class were not even balance before LCS started back up for example Khazix Rengar Leblanc Jayce for example<<

They never got a meaningful nerf until for some reason we were in the 1st week of LCS/EU/LCK where the pros abuse them non stop. All these champion made it on the PBE instantly making me think that the balance team doesn't know what the fk to do unless the pros abuse them and show the audience how strong they are.

The game should had been balance from the start of preseason to the beginning of LCS/LCK/EU not during the fken games.

For fck sakes even a whole stack of mastries are getting nerf, now the balancing team think finally that there is a problem with high damage?

Lets just a minute to remember being actually able to survive as a tank for more than 2 seconds.

Lol, assasins are what they want to be meta, I think their new gamemode 13 minute games is ideal for them.

Game is balanced around pro play, fuck everyone else.

Yea, fuck regular players...

Its been in the making for 3-4 years now. They keep nerfing tank items, buffing damage items... and then masteries were just a mirror of items.

Balance is honestly shit right now.

The sad thing is Jayce wasn't even reworked during the assassin update, he just never got nerfed after Worlds last year. I think Scarra hit it perfectly in that the balance team is not moving fast enough. Not enough has been changing each patch and as a result we've been stuck with the same meta for several months. As a bot lane/support player, I am also sick of seeing Jhin every game who always seems to pick up a load of kills even if he gets dumpstered early game and misses all of his skillshots.

  1. The balance team isn't even trying
Big Lincoln3 votes

meta tanks do juggernaut damage while being far harder to kill and having CC

assassins running rampant every game, lethality ADCs too

Quinn, Jayce and Graves are meta again

Corki completely ignored by Riot even though he's BS right now

Weak champs get nothing but confusing, worthless changes like Cho is right now

2/10 I get mad almost every game

0/10

I'd go as far and say 7/10 with a few flaws. Overall it's not THAT horrible. Could be worse

The fact is the game can't be balance as long as we have a meta. That's what meta really means the best champions right now. and out of what 130 champions only 10 are meta? that makes every game feel the same and boring. People use terms like he's not bad he's just a niche champion.... I don't believe they should be a champion if they are a Niche. All Niches need removed or buffed out of that category. Its stupid. Every champion should be better at something in the game that the others. That's Riots own idea yet.. they haven't even come close to doing it. there are just some popular champion that do everything better, and bc they are popular riot won't nerf them. "cough" Teemo. Or are so old they aren't competitive and instead of making them that way they buff or change something that still leaves them useless cough "cho'gath's rework on pbe" Seriously people should be protesting outside riots doors about some of the dumb shit they are doing. Yeah cho'gaths rework looks cool and all but why? you didn't make his skills any faster, his feast change don't make me laugh games don't last long enough for that to even be effective. Make him even bigger? well now the power can go out mid team fight and ill still land a skill shot on him, Like I said they are doing useless shit like that.

You seriously think teemo needs a nerf and ignored jayce, quinn, maoki, poppy at top lane or lee sin, heca and vi as junglers.. I can list many more but the fact that you prioritized teemo makes me curious.

TheFallenShaw1 votes

No, I seriously think riot won't really touch teemo but they will maokai and others infact he's already gonna be nerfed next patch his seedlings are losing 1 /3rd their damage. I try to bring up champions that riot bc of backers wont touch.

5 It sucks but I've seen the horror that is the yugioh metagame. At least here you don't spend all your resources to wipe someone's board only for them to topdeck pendulum call and summon 5 monsters at once because ayyyy pendulums weren't a totally fucking stupid idea.

ChíckenDaddy1 votes

I think its an 8/10

BIG BAD AXE MAN1 votes

0/10 for summoners that have to deal with this shit.

12/10 for the amazing circus show that balance team throws every fucking season.

Support Bοt1 votes

2/10 soloQ 5/10 teamplays

BUT... There is a champion pool bigger than in ANY other season now. The problem is that THIS CHAMPION POOL is WAAAAYYYYY too much powerfull when you compare them to regular champions.

WoonStruck1 votes

Viable champion pool is not larger lol.

Before season 4, you never knew what you'd be up against or with outside of jungle/bot, with the exception of small periods of blatant balance outliers.

You have a pretty good guess of what you'll be playing with/against this season.

^^^^^ Do you mean champion pool is larger in the LCS? Well there is a reason why, Riot had 10 ban because they suck at balancing the game to diversify the champion pool that they have to let pro ban 10 broken champion.

Hawckey1 votes

Lol wtf are these replies, spoiled community who has never seen a truly unbalanced game. I rate it a 6-7, most games seem fair to me, if my team outplays the other team consistently, we win, if they do that to us, we lose. That's how it's supposed to be. The few champs that are broken are constantly banned anyway

Teemodanegro1 votes

8/10 most online games don't allow for a large selection of champs / heroes. League does this very well.

Arakadia1 votes

Its actually really balanced CHAMPION WISE. Their are a handful of outliars, but the reason the game is unbalanced is, imho, not because of champions.

Part of it is damage creep, so reliable champions like Rengar are going to the same damage as someone who should be doing more, but is less reliable. Itemization, masteries, and parts of the map also screw things up.

Ahristocats1 votes

between 3 and 5 on 10

the game is balanced 10/10 in gold/plat, past diamond it becomes less balanced, past master it becomes a straight up locked game

Quepha1 votes

Really good relative to how well most games balance.

WoonStruck1 votes

Right now, probably -3i/10

They don't even deserve a Real Number.
