Love seeing Sylas every other game draintank through mortal wounds because of this absolutely absurd rune and then turn around and two tap every single carry on the team. Like, pick one or the other. He should not allowed to be so unkillable if he is so mobile and does so much damage. Also, don't even get me started on the other champions that abuse this rune. Everyone and their mother getting a mini kayle ult from the start of the game nowadays I guess lmao. And please don't give me "OH BUT DAMAGE IS TOO HIGH WE NEED SOMETHING TO COUNTER THE DAMAGE!!!!!@#!@#". If damage is too high, this is not a solution, this is just a poorly placed bandaid that causes entirely new problems.

Aftershock has just been causing too many problems it really should just scale with mr and armor and not just give a bunch of stats like it does now.

What is Sylas? a Bruiser, What does bruiser have in common with Tanks and Assassin? Tanky and Bursty, Does Sylas needs to be nerfed? No because other bruisers are just as strong as Sylas. Why should we not nerf Sylas? Because there is no AP bruiser itemization thus Sylas needs to have high base stats to make up for the lack of AP bruiser itemization. What other Champions are similar to Sylas? Riven LeeSin Renekton

Aftershock started out as a rune for tanks, then non tanks abused it and it got nerfed.

Then Riot changed it to work best on non tanks (flat stats Instead of percentage) and here we are

most fighters and bruisers have way more survivability than tanks now

You realize, its an issue with anything that isn't a tank that runs that rune, right? You think Sylas is a pain in the ass with it, try dealing with a Lissandra or Ryze running that shit.

WTF, you want to nerf one champ so you call for a nerf to ALL tanks? If a champion has a problem address the champion, don't nerf a global mechanic. How many times does Riot have to nerf Amumu before people stop asking riot to nerf him more by changing things to "other champs". No, go away.

Aftershock Lissandra is turbo cancer. Aftershock Fiddlesticks is cancer. Aftershock Pyke is turbo cancer. Aftershock Sylas is turbo cancer.

yea Sylas is just a finger roll champ except his CD is so slow he can do multiple finger rolls. its kinda annoying..

But, level 1 Aftershock needs to give more armor than almost all tank items, cause divers are supposed to use it.../s

Why did it need it the %bonus armor and mr removed and then the flat buffed to minimum 70 armor and MR? Tanks needed around 166 in each resist to even get close to the level 1 value of Aftershock right now. That’s insane. Please, Riot, revert the bonus resists to what it was before, keep the damage ratios nerfed. Non-tanks get better use out of an almost purely tank rune than tanks.

Edit: revert, or bring back Courage of the Colossus.

Sylas is an actual tank. And tanks are built to one shot now, just look at Zombie Ward. Hell Aftershock outdamages many other keystones

I love seeing pyke get a hook and have his stats jump to +200 from the measly 60-70~
