Riot is actually nerfing everything, exactly as we asked?

Top - shit Jungle - nerfed 8.9 Mid - nerfed 8.10 Adc - to be nerfed in 8.11 Support - Meddler talked about looking into them

I don't know guys, the game seems to be going in the right direction. Maybe some small tower buffs and 3 new Runes for Sorcery/Resolve/Inspiration.

Overall, good job Riot, and keep improving the game.

The jungle changes are fine, in fact its much better we nerf everything than to buff everything to broken levels.

Support do need some concrete nerfs though.

They haven't nerfed the original injection of damage and stats into the game this season, the runes, which a lot of people have a problems with and dislike the results of. They're nerfing other things instead, which represents an entirely different set of game design issues.

Supports are way too strong right now and immediately need looked at. They are supposed to be messing with them after the ADC update which is great. Jungle nerfs are also working as intended, and have made the game MUCH more enjoyable for everyone that's not looking for a freelo role.

I left when the season came out, it was too out of whack, things were busted, and things couldn't change soon enough to balance things out. Waited, took my time, checked in here and there to see what crazy things they were going to do. And finally I choose today to try it again. Play 2 games, lost both. Really bad matchup Diana into last pick Vladimir , i was at disadvantage, bad mistakes I admit defeat. Second match... me Yorick vs Tryndamere trynd dcs Free top lane Bunch of shit goes down bot lane, enemy bot slightly ahead, all is good trynd comes back, kill him free lane, get turret etc. stick to yoricks split playstyle to counter trynds. Nobody comes to stop me, get 2nd turret, and by that time the team is wiped and ff (-_-) i am more upset that a dc got a win when it should have been a sweep. I am backing away yet again, the game is not at the state I would like and probably am not alone in that endeavor. Even the enemy adc stated afterwords (great guy), that the game was boring. And hearing how much it is stomp or be stomped. All i have to say is good luck riot. I really think lcs pinned you in a corner, have fun digging yourself out

People are mad because the biggest problem were ADCs and Supports. They nerfed all the other lanes and kept bot for the end. Which means that they're even stronger now in comparison.

Actually they are doing bad.

Before it was:

Top - shit Jungle - amazing Mid - good Adc - op Support - op

now it is: Top - shit Jungle - shit Mid - shit Adc - op Support - op

no, riot isn't nerfing. Riot is just buffing the importance of the bot lane and adcs. Exactly what everyone told them its a problem since like, the middle of season 7 or earlier. When they screetched and hard buffed adcs after "lolz adc 2k17 memes"

here's an analogy:

police: weapons (guns, knives, riffles, smoke bombs, paper bombs, etc) citizens: weapons (guns, knives, forks, etc) terrorists: weapons (guns, knives, riffles, bombs, etc)

Everyone complaining that terrorists got weapons.

And incoming riot balance changes police: a wood stick citizens: a slap on the face terrorists: weapons (guns, knives, riffles, bombs, etc).

Riot is just making the game actively worse, ain't they all lovely dovey company? Actually, wait, there were some adcs changes. I should edit the above part: terrorists: weapons (guns, knives, riffles, bombs, nukes, etc).

Coz they made armor stacking against adcs do more damage to targets above 300 armor than before and using true damage to achieve that hahahahahahahahaha

Bow to your overlords

jg could use some fine tuning since any somewhat weak or not as strong lev 2 jg (ammumu and rammus for example) is not worth playing.

Well, I don't fall into the "we" that you talk about. I think tanks SHOULD be strong in the top lane especially since they are weak in every other role right now. If I had to pick one role where tanks should be strong, it would be Top. That way, being the only tank champion on the team doesn't force you to have such low gold income that you can't even BE a tank in the first place.

I am fine with tanks being countered in lane, but when everyone and their mother is dealing true damage.... You can't just survive lane and be useful. Now you barely survive lane and remain useless. Low elo now requires high damage output to consistently win games. Being a tank is a coin flip.

P.S. I say all of this because Riot DID listen to all of the people whining about top lane.

Bro I think you got 8.9 and 8.10 backwards. 8.10 is new scutt and slower lvl 3. 8.9 was rip dorrans ring. Might wanna update that.

Saying Nerfs doesnt mean nerfs if the numbers are actual buffs. (adcs mages)

I actually really don’t like this trend... I wanna fight people... but at least my boi Aatrox hasn’t been getting weaker and I can kill people pretty well.
