So Graves, Irelia, Lucian and Jax will remain in this unbearable state until next season?

Rαy··71 votes·17,635 views

Or until Worlds end? When can I start enjoying the game again and ban out of preference instead of having to ban clearly overtuned shit? What's the deal?

Will overall damage be addressed? Will SOMETHING happen after almost one year of frustrating, dumbed-down, oneshot fiesta gameplay? Something other than a Pyke ult buff?

I am getting so tired of this.

remove shunpo's cast time already ups wrong thread [katarina-love]

AirKingNeo7 votes

why should kat have no counterplay?

0 Hogapu3 votes

not asking for the time for her dagger to be on the ground to be removed btw.

Just the CAST TIME of shunpo which is 0.075s, which is 75ms. And i dont think you have the reaction time needed to play around something that has a 0.075 cast time anyway. (given than you already know where the dagger is)

RyzeTheSmurfMage4 votes

It's basically a spamable flash if you remove that cast time which is bull sh**.

Moon Mom3 votes

You're sorely mistaken if you think her windup times aren't enough counterplay.

Kaisa Akali Zoe ???????????????

Sexy Jack Rabbit7 votes

If you seriously think Zoe is overbearing or strong right now you're delusion.

After the deserved 8.16 nerfs she smacked into the concrete. She's bouncing between a 46.5 and 48% winrate which is where she should stay.

She's amongst the most balanced she's ever been.

Honestly jhin is pretty easy to shut down early with the right counter, same for kassadin i guess

Śhunpo2 votes

They're not though. Kassadin has a laning phase now due to Fleet Footwork, Corrupting, Dark Seal and his level 6 being bonkers. Jhin isn't ever "weak" since the moment he picks up Stormrazor he both hits like a semi-trailer AND runs like Usain Bolt on steroids.

Saibbo1 votes

Idk Kassadin, i just know that late game kas is not balanced, kinda as jhin but yet i played with and against jhin and yea there are way to shut him down

Śhunpo2 votes

Yeah he's beyond broken late game, however the problem is that he doesn't really have a "weak" phase to him right now given the fact that it's extremely hard to shove him out of lane.

Sure, right after they nerf Ahri and Zed .

Quite frankly an Irelia mid is what made me very toxic at this point. I know it may seem dumb of me, but i believe that due to how many issues there are in League (like what you've mentioned) is what's making the community very tilted and toxic and this game very frustrating in general.

hemitris2 votes

i got chat restricted for defending myself after team flamed me losing to an irelia mid and got about 12 kills off bot lane. pretty fucking done with how punishments are doled out for very reasonable frustrations.

maybe we will get another ryze rework next season, wouldn't that just be great!

Hopefully we get Fervor back

Fervor actually encouraged long fights. Conq is just like "yeah fight however long or short you want, i'm just as effective either way"

Jax

Agreed. Fervor was a lot healthier for the game than Conqueror in my opinion.

It was a really fun keystone to take, too. A strong choice, yet not overwhelming or impossible to itemize against.

Absolutely not. Oppressive god tier jungler and toplaner for months now.

Banning him every game.

Did you know his E even mitigates AOE damage? I don't know why, it just does.

Besteal2 votes

Funny enough, I don't think many people know that. I asked some League friends last year if they knew about that, and they looked me straight in the eye and told me that I was crazy and that they had never head of Jax having AOE damage reduction on his E ever. Crazy huh?

Exactly. He is a dueling splitpusher. Even his lore states he can not be beaten 1v1. Dueling is his identity, so why should he receive free team fighting abilities? His ult gives him enough artificial tankiness for team fights.

Removing his AOE damage reduction would be a good example for a minor nerf to him that doesn't weaken his playstyle.

AirKingNeo1 votes

Ok? Mitigation is better than being negated.

YOu could also just not fight him at max passive.

What does his passive have to do with this now? His passive is fine, it suits his playstyle. He still doesn't deserve to have AOE damage mitigation as a splitpusher/duelist.

I do check sites, so I'm wondering how Jax jungle has been "dominating for months now" with a sub 5% pickrate.

Who are you quoting? I said he is a god tier pick in both roles for months now, which is still the case. His toplane pickrate is very high and his winrate on that role even higher, so what is your point?

AirKingNeo3 votes

I said he is a god tier pick in both roles for months now

and his stats show he isn't a god in jungle.

Yes, he is. Even if he wouldn't be a top tier jungler, he's too oppressive on his main lane and still deserves a nerf if Conqueror isn't touched.

how is a champion with a below average pickrate in that role "god tier" in that role?

Pickrate doesn't have to do anything with tier lists. Aurelion Sol is a god tier midlaner for years now.

AirKingNeo2 votes

a pick isn't god tier if no one plays it. People will play strong champions, so people don't play it because it isn't strong, thus only mains play them and bolster the winrate.

Conversely, high pickrate champions will have lower winrates because bad players are deluding the winrate.

Once again, pickrates have nothing to do with tier lists. Aurelion Sol, Taliyah Jungle or Talon for example are not played a lot at the moment, yet are still god tier picks.

Jax top is played a lot AND has the highest winrate among toplane champions, so what exactly is your point?

You're denying how statstics work.

At this point, I think the answer is yes.

In case of Lucian though, except he has now really good damage in lane, the moment enemy laner comes with Stormrazor it gets somehow balanced. Plus there is also MF who is dealing 60% your hp with second part of Q after she returns with item 3134 and that will delete you in less than 2 seconds with R once she completes item 3142 /item 3147 , Jhin who is practically uncatchable with the ms speed he gets with stormrazor. So in fact the new buffs just made him to get into top tier of marksmen with already mentioned two + Draven and Kaisa. I don't think he outshines them much, maybe in lategame teamfights.

He outshines them completely. He's the single top tier ADC on Lolalytics for a reason. MF might be annoying, sure, but his all-in destroys her. He was very strong before his unnecessary buff and he will be the most contested AD carry at Worlds. No doubt.

Jhin can easily be fixed by toning down Stormrazor or Hail of Blades (although Riot doesn't care about this either, I guess), but the other champions I mentioned clearly need individual nerfs/buff reverts.

jax is fine, he has a good winrate, clear counters and is easy to put behind. The rest i agree with

SithesisLord9 votes

In what world does a 53% winrate with an 18.2% pickrate and 26.6% banrate in Diamond+, while also being the overall best toplaner in the game and having as lane counters 9 out of 40 top lane champions, some of those barely countering at all qualify as fine?

a lot of people like to deny how easy it is to bait jaxes E. Walk up. Walk out. Now you can fuck him in the ass for the next 13 seconds. Also if jax gets guinsoos and ur dumb enough to fight jax with conquerer + Guinsoos ready to proc or already fully stacked, well.. Dont fucking fight jax like that unless u have the cc or mobility to stop him from stacking guinsoos or letting his conquerer go off.

Oh and P.S He has a 51% winrate and 12% playrate. This is fine as long as the champ is 51 and below they are not broken by any means unless their playrate is sky rocketing (like graves or lucian)

SithesisLord2 votes

I think you mean level 1, right? Because level 2 onwards if you're not Poppy or Malphite he just jumps on you and takes away 3/4 of your HP because somehow, some retard at Riot thought Conqueror was a fine addition to the game when there was already a bruiser keystone and it worked perfectly fine into tanks.

GodlyBane1 votes

no

listen i know the boards likes downvoting facts and shit but its time to stop. His E is easy to bait out. Jaxes always use E before Q. If u die to jax in lane by him stunning u, then honestly thats just not smart

SithesisLord2 votes

That doesn´t change by any means the fact he's statistically broken.
