Games balance is great, the problem is bad players who refuse to adapt

I know this will hurt your feelings, but the truth has to be bombarded in to your dense heads.

Every game I see Mordekaiser ban and people cry for nerfs on forums, simply because they refuse to adapt and want to do what they have done for the past 3 years, take a Marksman and a Support, have a boring static laning phase, then team fight. When the enemy team has Mordekaiser , why do you cry? why do you rage? why don't you lock in XinZhao JarvanIV bot lane and crush him? Oh yeah, because you refuse to play the game and adapt.

Every game I see bans to Skarner (granted, skarner is probably the strongest champ out of all of these) Darius Fiora Garen Mordekaiser . Everytime something becomes viable, people panic and QQ on forums or spam ban them in game. Why do you guys do this? How come you don't think outside the box and make counters to those champs and play the damn game like a GAME, be creative.

I've played Zed Yasuo non-stop since their release, even during the time when they were at their lowest winrate and absolute garbage. I've done 0 crit Yasuo builds (which is pretty good actually) and a lot of different Zed playstyles, top, mid, jungle etc.

The champions are not the problem, your lack of creativity and will to adapt and explore new builds, new champions etc. are the problem. The juggernauts are weak to ranged champions, why don't you practice some good ranged champs and fight them? Instead, you ban them, so you can play the same Irelia Nasus Riven top you have played for the last 2-3 years. Nothing wrong with playing the same champs a lot, but don't cry for nerfs and QQ about new viable champs just because they counter your champ. Either adapt your build or your champion pool and playstyle.

As a Zed Yasuo main these juggernauts give me a tough time, yet I don't cry for nerfs, I am happy they are viable after 2-3 years, keeps the game fresh and makes me adapt and understand and improve more as a player.

Next patch, there will be buffs to Veigar Zyra Ezreal , will you spam ban those aswell?

Yes. I usually play melee champs, can't wait for next patch with the buff to AD Ezreal, but knowing this community they will spam ban him lol.

No. Some people cry because new champs counter their main,and most because of how unbalanced and retarded some champions and mechanics are.

Either expand your champion pool or adapt your current champs to their counters with new item builds, masteries, runes and playstyle.

Let's see. 110 champions owned. 8 rune pages. 17 mastery pages. Yup I think I'm ok. Riot's gameplay balance is complex,sometimes it's good,sometime it isn't,and I can see that riot completely fckedup this year.

The only valid criticism on balance is that Warrior enchant is a bit too weak and Hunters Machete doesn't give enough sustain to make squishy junglers good.

Everything else is great.

Except Morde's bot lane is truly broken, it's not a problem with adaptation at all. As what is the problem is not his mechanics but his own presence/number alone, there is just nothing to adapt to. You might as well call the players who cry over a boss in some game that has 1 million HP and hit for 3 million per his otherwise undodgeable AoE sweeps (while possible max HP for any character is only 2000), wimps for not being flexible enough.

Not to mention most people cry over Morde's rework not because of his balance state (well I should say "not entirely") but because of the rework itself. It didn't achieve what it was set out to do, but it in fact actually made the problem it was trying to fix in the first place even worse than ever before. The rework also cost Morde's entire character, giving stuff utterly nonsensical to himself, as well as forcibly locking him in bot for no apparent reason and in the worst way possible.

Maybe Morde is not that much of a trouble gameplay-wise, you can be right no doubt. But one can not deny that his rework is just sinister and plainly wrong on every level and it should either be reverted or be taken back onto the drawing board ASAP.
