Just wanted to share my opinion and hopefully balance team will see this
I noticed recently that people are complaining abour urgot... not because hes OP but because they think he might be nerfed purely due to pro play.... this got me thinking and i feel like i need to just voice my opinion...
When something or someone is strong they get nerfed almost immediatly due to pro play .... such as tahm kench recently he was a good pick to help get carries scale into a late game as the abundance of damage exists heavily in early game .... On top of that there were sejuani nerfs.... I dont like the champion personally but i dont thik she needed nerfs either... i understand she was nerfed for pro play to help reduce how much she may be played
But this is where i say ... why are we nerfing things that are suddenly good in pro play? why not let time and patience run its cause? Let people work out strategies around them? like is sejuani is strong due to her CC then that may force for morgana supports or anti CC/ mobility champs to be played ....
If a champion is good at what theyre designed to do ... they shouldnt be nerfed because its what they do... why nerf tahm kench because hes got a good peel skill ? why nerf sejuani because shes good at engaging and providing amazing utility in a teamfight? Let people strategise around them ... metas for a while now are created from nerfs buffs items and runes.. we dont casually shift from one meta to another ... a meta is isntantly chanegd through one of them... All it take sis a bit of time and patience and people will eventually strategise around a meta ... if im seeing soraka support become meta then by logic i will pick high damage into her and kill her ... if i see udyr become meta then ill be picking mobile laners to help avoid them ganks ...
A champion should only be nerfed if they do their job too well for example Miss fortune - shes a good team fight champion but lacks that one on one fighting however with dasrk harvest she Qs and chunks a massive portion of your HP ... thats something which should be nerfed because not only does she still have that strong teamfight she can easily 1 v 1 too
ANother example is Zed - one W E Q combo and half your HP is gone when he shadows in he will proceed to auto/igote you to death ... if you try to flash away this is where he ults ....the ult lately has become a second gap closer or some kind of dodging tool such as using it to didge malph ult... Zeds whole kit used to be around maximising damage during death mark to let the victim pop by it but its rarely often i see the target actually die to the death mark pop...
Basically to clarify i dont get why were nerfing champions because they being played to do the job tehyre designed to do
