You know, Worlds are coming.

I don't want to deny that I enjoy seeing Riven and Vayne in competetive but it's clear that these changes are targeted at Worlds again.

For me this season went by fast. Maybe it's because I hardly played compared to S5 idk

You stopped playing the game, and the season seemed to go by faster, yet time flies when you have fun. Ergo, not playing League must have caused the fun that caused time to fly. Hence, we can use logic to come to the obvious conclusion that LoL is no longer fun, QED.

I proved it with math rito, your move...

You know no one at Riot ever acknowledges their mistakes. They hide behind their pay checks. Because for some having money is better then having character, or standards. Or dignity.

Or empathy, or humility, or common sense.

Well, the Season also went prety fast for me, and I play everyday and have fun.

I still remember the Warlords Bloodlust when it healed and gave bonus attack speed for critting like the past month when that was preseason.

It would be really stupid if they nerfed Rek'sai for the Worlds patch but didn't buff her, like Kalista, among some other handful of champs.

Champion Favoritism

Good thing i didnt spent any fucking RP since 2 years ago and won't watch any boring Whack-A-Mole for 20minute LC$ game . I've seen ppl farming in LC$ up to 500 farm, full build, min 45 and everyone were still on their lanes farming. And everyone is fat, asian, or both at the same time.

^^You need to consider, however, is that this patch is to balance out Worlds.

Then balance for fucking Worlds$ , and for the rest of the 99.999% of the playerbase. 2 separate balances

Exactly, LCS is boring to watch. I remember season 3 worlds when we gathered in my friends house with tons of snacks and galons of beer, being excited about every single match. God I was a few kilograms heavier after s3 worlds...But now, I simply do not have enough of nerves to handle one single match. Even casters are different and annoying. for the Christs sake they are yelling like mad whenever someone make even an easiest play ever.

For Example:

Roccat vs NRG - Jhin ulted enemy Alistar and chunked him down to 10% HP casters be like "OMG! OMG! LOOK AT THIS DAMAGE WOAAAAAAAA"

C9 Hai playing Le Blanc chunking his enemy down to 15% hp with a single QR casters be like "WHOA WHOA HU LOOK AT THIS, THE POWER OF C9 HAI"!!!

Like gtfo it's the power of Le Blanc

And when I hear something like this my face is like -.-'

CeexSett1 votes

omg the leblanc part is so true.

A 3/0 LB arrives in the face of a Jhin, goes W Q R E in less than a second kill him: "OMG HE JUST GOT COMPLETELY DELETED!!!"

You don't say.

WolfChases2 votes

Are you sure she used all 4 spells bro? :D

CeexSett1 votes

The W is to get close (no damage) and the E is just to proc the R mark.

So technically she uses 2 and a half spells.

WolfChases1 votes

2 and a half is on, that looks like Le Blanc xD

Woah easy there, no need to drop F bombs. I get you're upset they nerfed Rek'sai, hell she is one of my favorite champions, and the nerfs have cut her low. You need to consider, however, is that this patch is to balance out Worlds.

League is a team based game, and while most of us play it single player type, professionals do not. If we want variety in professional games they need to change the game accordingly. I get you're upset, but acting like this only looks bad on the community.

WolfChases4 votes

I am not upset, I don't even play Rek'Sai but this nerf is the weirdest thing ever. Ok, I understand they are buffing/nerfing for worlds atm but still...Why don't they make champions "Just for LCS" and leave us play our normals/rankeds using our favorite champions that aren't balanced around competitive scene.

If they don't revert riven buffs and rek nerfs after worlds i'm done.

She was nerfed for a goddamn reason.

Nerf any champions used by anyone but Korea. Our Korean overlords must win Worlds as always or LCS will be pointless. Korea is biggest viewership, must keep Korea LCS happy.

i never saw morde because he was banned every single match however i dislike to see fiora at all because fiora.

Mordekaiser was very depressing to watch. Butcher a champion alienate a fanbase make him broken OP so the whole world can see. Turn the community against the champion. Force. Him into a melee bot Meta thats delusional at best all the while insulting/ ignoring the fanbase and as a LONG time fan finally get to see Mordekaiser played at worlds as a Jumbled Monstrosity that Riot called an improvement. Insult added to injury. Riot does it best

That's sort of what's been done to Tahm Kench, although to a lesser extent, and I used to main him, so I somewhat feel your pain. Hopefully, they'll do him justice someday.

Kench is baller asfaq. Sry about your nerfs. Honestly im not sure Riot has ever Done a shittier exécution on a rework. Than what they did to Mordekaiser. I bore witness so i could list off the tally of sins

Yeah, thanks. The nerfs were stupid, but the buffs weren't satisfying, either. His shield has a stupid low cooldown now. It's even worse to play against than his old one, since he never has a moment of weakness where you can go in on him. I also REALLY miss the power spike on level 6. What hurts the most is that when he was in a good spot, EVERYONE I ever saw play him was a nice person, but after the changes, all I've been seeing is complete douchebags play him. I also really miss the bug where you took Gromp (or any other jungle camp bar Red Brambleback and Blue Sentinel) back to your base, and then there would be a spot where you can spit him out that would freeze them, so you could just get Gromp to sit at your base the entire game. (Sadly people would keep trying to murder it). Oh well. At least I have Aurelion Sol now.

dude they dont care, its all about lcs, untill the game dies they'll realise its hard to have competitive without casual scenes

WolfChases1 votes

I doubt LoL is gonna die anytime soon. Look at World of Warcraft, thez literally fucked up the game 2 damn expansions in a row (Cataclysm and Pandaria) and yet WoW is the 2nd largest game in the world and is P2P, not to mention thousands of people who play WoW on pirate servers tho.. Games like this can't die, people are getting somehow emotionally bonded with champions/characters and whatever that particular game offers.

La Barbotte1 votes

the difference is that league needs players to keep players, when queues start to get on average 15 min, then 20 min, then 30 you get the idea, less people = longer queue = even less people = even longer queues, people wont play this with hour long queues to get raged on by 12 y/o

WolfChases1 votes

I understand your point, but again, it's not gonna happen anytime soon. Look for example at high elo ranked queues, they aren't shorter than 10 minutes and people are still playing. Heck I remember month ago when I watched Sneaky streaming on Twitch, if i remember well, his que was like 18 minutes long. Ofc that LOL is gonna loose its playerbase as every single game but remember there are still a lot of people playing WarCraft III FrozenThrone online xD also, Counter Strike, StarCraft, etc. :)

Rek'Sai is a top tier pick in competitive, and is getting nerfs for that reason. Worlds is approaching, and Riot is looking for balance changes such that there is as much balance as possible for then.

Just completely ban her in competitive play and buff her for solo queue.

Rek'sai is NOT weak she just has a high skill cap. She has an amazing early game then falls off later. A good rek'sai can easily climb ranks.

After the nerfs, she's gonna be kind of weak.

Pika Fox1 votes

Seeing as to how shes overpowered in competitive play, the real question should be "Why do you suck so much to be unable to properly use her?"

WolfChases1 votes

You simply can't compare competitive with soloQ/Normals, it's like a different game dude. They are using Rek' as a pink ward, just because of map control and meat wall, nothing else.

Pika Fox1 votes

Theyre using him as a global counter engage + knock up bot for peel/engage. Sure, i cant compare competitive to non competitive, but your argument is that no one should have an issue playing against them because shes so weak, when in reality she is incredibly strong.

So again, the real question is why do you suck, not why is she being nerfed. You can complain all you want, but at the end of the day, shes strong, too strong in the proper team. Meaning she gets nerfed.

WolfChases1 votes

I cannot suck or play her well because I do not play Rek'Sai at all but from what I saw in or against my team I came to the conclusion that she's just nothing unless it's not a 5 or at least 4 man premade. If she's strong, like really really strong in competitive but just a medocore in our games, it doesn't means she should be nerfed.

You can own a nice and fast car but if you are a bad or a medicore driver you are not gonna be able to push the car to the limits and win the race. Rek'Sai may be strong in competitive because there's good team coordination of 5 man knowing eachothers playstyles and they are using the same champion as you do but in completely different way and for completely different purposes.

Pika Fox1 votes

Champions are balanced around whichever is stronger; high level play or low level play. If a champion is too strong in either, it will be nerfed. Moreso with high level/correct play, champions fitting the latter are only nerfed if theyre truly out of line in those areas (trynd, yi, kata have a history of being nerfed/reworked because of low level play)

A game can only truly be balanced against high level play. As time progresses, all players will get better. Meaning eventually it doesnt matter if its only too strong in high level play, it will be strong elsewhere as well.

WolfChases1 votes

I understand your point of view but let's say that you are a pro Rek'Sai player, would you be able to use her max potential playing solo que with 4 random guys in your team without any sort of comunication except chat? I am just real, If something is way too strong, let it go, nerf it, I am maining Elise and I wasn't sad when she got nerfed, she was able to 1 shoot an ADC with a single rotation building almost full tank and I knew it's not as it is supposed to be but I honestly think that the Rek'Sai nerfs on PBE are just too much.
