Is that no longer happening ? Seems there hasn’t been a word about it in weeks now, just like in mid season 8 when they said they were looking into addressing damage in pre season then completely forgot about it..
Please Rito we need more durability
They just said that because the boards/reddit were blowing up about how high “damage” is, so they tell people they’re gonna do something so everyone shuts up. Classic rito
9.2 did a good job though.
And 9.3, while not addresing anything systematic, it got Irelia out of mid for good and nerfed plenty of problem Champs.
Overall DMG is still to high but if they continue we could end on a pretty enjoyable game.
Riot balance team and doing their job properly are two concepts that never meet.
they are busy right now with catering to crybaby adc mains. Which actually equals upping adc damage
They nerfed ignite, they nerfed every damage rune or scaling runes, they lowered a little offensive stat and buffed a little defense stat, they nerfed every top pick that goes into this (the one remaining I can think off atm is xin?), items have been properly nerf (tiamat cost increased notably), ADC item are weaker even with the new recent changes...
Like no dude, they really did stuff about this. Maybe they didn't go "SO GUYS, I AM GONNA DROP A BIG NUMBER NERF ON DUSKBLADE BECAUSE YOU ALL HATE IT AND IT FEEL GOOD" because the item isn't such an outliner anymore and it was a lot of different things.
Hey, one of the actual problematic stuff in lol is possibly aftershock bringing too much resistance early XD
Who said anything about lowering systematic damage? They did offer you a solution to reduce damage yourself this patch:
VS 
is far more effective now. And any armor on top of it drastically reduces damage even more. At least versus adcs, Tanks should be semi viable again.
We still have to deal with Conqueror of course, but this patch has mitigated one of the problems.
Otherwise, damage is pretty similar to Season 1-5. (With the exception of Shojin users/Conqueror)
P.S. Keep in mind, before the True damage IE rework, Randuin's only reduced crit damage by 10%, so in comparison to what it used to do, it's already pre-buffed
It's called empty words and lying. It's always easy to fool a child with empty promises.
When they added Pyke they just stopped caring about balance.
The problem are the runes, so much braindead damage just by 3 hit or hit with a spell someone and everyone having 45% cdr making the game like URF lmao
Rito: "We know damage is too high so we're going to tone it down a bit over the course of 20 seasons at a time. Also, in order to make up for the longer games this would result in, we're significantly raising damage across the board to make LCS more watchable."
