Sunfire Price Reduction

That is really far from a buff. Sure it costs less, but it’s still the same shitty item.

How about we leave it at it’s old price and add some armor? Give it an actual buff and not just a “pick me up because you are poor and lane as a tank sucks ass”

The actual gold efficiency of sunfire cape before its burn is 2333 gold (before passive). How the fuck is it supposed to compete with things like black cleaver that are 100% gold efficient before both passives.

Please stop pussyfooting around. Balance the game already.

I was excited for the list of changes Riot planned this patch, but half of them are just minute number changes (barring stuff like Yorick/Jungle EXP)

Almost none of the changes addresses the problems these champions have. Buffing Voli’s AP ratio isn’t going to make him a good pick. Nerfing Brand’s passive poke isn’t going to stop him from “supporting” bot. And making Sunfire cheaper isn’t going to stop making the item an auto-loss compared to building actual tank items like Deadman’s or Randuins.

I’d be more on board with these small changes if the game actually feels like you can pick whatever you want, but right now, all I’m seeing are FotM picks every game and that doesn’t seem to be changing in 9.1

They don't want to stop Brand from going support, they just want to make him a little harder to play. He was played there BEFORE they buffed his passive. It's just that hitting one spell doesn't reward him as much anymore.
