Patch 5.6 breakdown

  1. All champions that do not have a dash or gap closer will be eliminated from Summoner's Rift.

The logic here is that these champions aren't in line with our LC$ big plays way of thinking. If you can't fly in and kill an enemy under his turret and get out safely than you're just an idiot. On a side not, what kind of noob thinks he can sit under his tower with 90% health and think he won't get insta killed by our well designed assassins? LOL

  1. The champions that are removed from Summoner's Rift as per above will still be usable in Dominion.

We don't want our many earlier champions that were well designed with very noticeable strengths and weaknesses to be completely removed from the game. Sure, they aren't viable anymore on SR because of the insane mobility creep but they might work ok in Dominion. We don't have ranked Dominion because not many people play Dominion but not many people play Dominion because we don't offer ranked. Catch 22 amirite? So it doesn't really matter what goes on in this mode.

  1. An updated server will allow people across the entire continental US to experience on average 30 ping.

Jk

  1. We will be removing bans from Ranked Queue.

Many players feel that more bans would mean more champion variety in actual game play because players would have to expand their own champion pools. So we got to thinking and feel that removing bans entirely would have the same effect! Also, we want to see Lee Sin in every single game. LeeSin

  1. Max health will be capped at 2500.

Tanks can't make flashy LC$ plays. Also, the health cap will further allow assassins to insta-gib which is healthy for our game.

Wtf? You should be BEGGING to see Lee Sin every game. You should also be hoping to see Zed, LeBlanc, and other assassins at silver elo - on the other team that is.

Below 50% win rate by an appreciable margin on all the above champs on the other team? Freelo pls. Srsly, idk why you guys complain so much about them being op when it's statistically shown you're more likely to win against high skill cap champions in low elo.

Silver Sin is true role playing because not a single q lands, which is exactly what you'd expect from a blind monk.

Ok but when you get higher in elo, the more clearly you see how OP Lee Sin is.

Yeah I agree winning less than 50% of the time in diamond shows that he's not OP.

But you're not diamond, so you shouldn't be qqing , and neither should 99% of this forum who all supposedly describe first hand how OP Lee Sin is when Lee Sin loses the majority of the time.

LOL I was diamond last season. I haven't played ranked yet this season. Win rate does not equate to OPness of a champ

Yeah and OPness is also not dictated by "X is OP cuz he's OP"

Win rate as a measure of a champion's strength is probably the best indicator of "OPness", unless that champion is only played by a small percentage of players. That is not the case with Lee Sin either the most popular or 2nd most popular champ.

I guess I just didn't see the need to point out what others have said countless times; his high base movement speed, his gap closers/escape, high AD scaling on his ult, etc.

Oh so you can read his skills and describe how they're working as intended back to me? Gj I thought only I could read skills and describe them starting each description with "high", "too much", "insane", "op", etc.

people bitch about lee sin because they think he's freelo, he has low winrate because of this people, they try him and get anihilated, that tanks the winrate, lee sin its a bit over the top right now, a small number nerf wouldn't hurt, but other than that he's perfectly fine, the removal of his attack speed debuff left him balanced and healthy

own oppinion = lee sin sucks (exept ur rly good on him and belive me 80% of main lee's are NOT) almost like shaco^^ (but i've seen some good shaco in recent games)

Wait. Jinx can still tower dive like that from her passive, even if she doesn't have a gap closer/dash. She also has epic LC$Plays snipes. Keep her?

stop building glass cannons and it wont be such an issue. play smarter . Gap closers have always been around. If they didnt have them then melee champs would be almost pointless.
