Nerf Oracle Potion on Aram?

Quantum Hare··7 votes·1,782 views

Dear Community!

After some Shaco - Teemo - Rengar- Akali games on Aram I had very bad gameplay experience. Especially Shaco, Teemo and Akali. Think about it. For 300 Gold you can make pretty much make Shaco q w useless and inderect his e and passive, cause he cant (safely) spam -> approach. We all hate Teemo, but it seems kinda unfair to render an ultimate of a champion useless. For 300 gold. It's not like stealth in Aram is great, even without oracle. Since "Mark/Dash" is a legit summener on such a short cd Akali w is pretty much useless and you have to fear random spam hits (every 40 seconds from up to 5 champs). Imagen you could counter other champions ults/kits for 300 Gold. Seems kinda op, right?

Well I'd love to hear ya' alls opinions on this. Does Oracle Potion need a nerf? (I'm not some random guy who played 10 Arams and is now sharing his experience. I played to 2300+ wins in the last 2,5 years (an average of 5 games a day), so this post is like some kinda evaluation of my actual experience)

Yup. It completely destroys a few champions rendering them bad picks. Good luck getting people to care though. Nobody liked those certain champions.

It's not fair though because aram Zyra is more awful to vs. than Teemo ever was. Teemo isn't a good teamfight champion and those shrooms are all he has. " Oh but Teemo is mysteriously OP on most alt modes" ; nah the casual LoL player is just bad.

This this this! People think Zyra is easy to kill because how squishy she is but good luck trying to get to her.. You will blow up & be slowed to death... =|

if teemo's shrooms gets nerfed on aram aswell, he can literally put them down anywhere and people will step on them because the lane is so small

It doesn't need a nerf because there is absolutely no other way to cope with stealth.

We have bigger problems to deal with on ARAM first, like ARAM only accounts. You are complaining about a scrape when our leg has been severed.

There used to be vision items with other stats, so they already have made changes. Any more and Teemo gets more OP (he is already very destructive).

Also playing many ARAM games, my suggestion is to just reduce the duration of the elixir from 5 minutes to 2 or 3 minutes. This way if you want to keep the active up you need to hold multiple spots in your inventory and spend a little more of your gold on denying the enemy team a key ability. Either do this or create a counter item that has an on use that removes elixir buffs from a champ.
