Who is this 'Korde' you speak of?

OK. Let's not confuse the issue. Yes, the mage changes are stupid. Yes, the Ryze rework meme is getting out of hand.

But blaming the two people from the balance team that actually communicate with the community is a wee-bit unfair.

so balanced when literally only mages get picked in competitive and all but a few assassins are shit in lane lole

Don't forgot that throwing fighters and top bruisers to trash after we done from buffing ranged top cc champions, maybe even check for future buffs on jayce, quinn and teemo.

I think the Ryze rework thing was accurate. They most likely just said it out of nowhere and immediatly began doing it.

TBH, Gnar albeit annoying was actually struggling outside the laning phase.

And tanks are supposed to be countered by ADCs. They're hard to kill for a reason. You shouldn't be targeting tanks in teamfights.

Intern 2 wants Wet paper towels to be?..... What?..... Low pressure walls's of Air. If tanks do too much damage tell me that after you have built Defensive items Not On your Safe Back line Squishy that sits there and let them walk up to you. when if they take one rotation of your basic skills they have to run or they will die to the next rotation. or 3 seconds of your auto attacks they have to hope some one else jumped on you and killed you or they die if it goes on for another half second.

How is it possible for tanks to be unkillable and for ADCs to have too much tank shredding capabilities at the same time? It's either tanks are unkillable and ADC's do no damage or tanks are too easily killable because ADCs do too much damage. And those champions aren't getting a VGU because riot has no idea what to do with them, which is why Aatrox, akali, nunu, are getting one and not them.

Mfw intense shielding and peels+the assassin rework puts all assassins out of viability, so Riot guts mages instead. Honestly, as an assassin main, I can live with that.

Well here my opinion on this matter. Unpopular but still I think its valid. I think why they went with mage nerfs first instead of adc's is because they already have an idea how they are going to nerf ADC's and think the nerfs will be strong enough to warrant a nerf to other classes (I hope, I REALLY HOPE that what they doing to ADC's is such a massive planned nerf that they need to bring down mages as well) and they already know what they wanted done with mages. I agree it might be bias since for 2 weeks after this patch adc's will be so much stronger and assassins (and Ryze) will be the mid lanes for awhile but lets just pray that maybe just maybe that once nerfs come through everything will be gucci. Here;s to praying.
