"ashe is fine other adcs are just broken"

I guess i could say Rumble is fine too, its just that all the other top laners are broken.

Or that pre-buff 45% wr volibear was fine, its just that all the other junglers are broken.

Right boards?

damage overall is too damn high, voli will always be stupid becuase his kit is literally binary if he reaches you.. you are dead. if he donest.. he is worthless.

he needed a rework... not a buff

I'm not the imfamous OP, but I do play other games. Heck, I work on a mod of an irrelevant GCN game (but hey, it's growing, slowly but surely) and I'm lead designer on balance. Balance work itself is quite easy exactly, but a lot of my work also comes up with coming up with new ideas (based on the original game being poorly balanced and having gimmicks that are unfulfilled).

My point is that balance isn't super hard and Riot just sucks at it. The patch for tomorrow was a step in the right direction, but there are so many obvious things that it's frustrating. At least in my own game, I have the power to fix that.

Except you sacrifice game design and therefore fun for balance. I don't.

Is this a meme or a random complaint from a game? XD

It's a complaint about boards circlejerking.

Its just how Rex likes to interact with the boards see discussions by OP

I figured that people say Ashe is fine because her DPS actually scales linearly as opposed to hitting the huge spikes that normal crit ADCs can/do, as well as not having any RNG involved.

Nothing to do with it, they say ashe is "fine" because shes stupidly easy to deal with and almost any solo lane/jungler can destroy her at most stages of the game, they want all adcs to be shit like that.

No, not at all. Ashe hasn't been nerfed at all.

Really, her items rotated and the meta changed. If her items were changed and tanks didn't need ungodly damage to break, she'd be the ideal marksmen.

Actually she got three big nerfs over time. Her Q lost its auto reset, it's duration went from 5 to 4 seconds, and it's % damage increase was lowered, as well as her W cooldown being raised. She never got any buffs to offset those four nerfs aside from general stat balancing when new runes came out. Not to say she isn't useable, just that she got nerfed and never got buffed after it.

Except all of those nerfs were way before she was last meta.

When was she last meta? I think the Q duration nerf was her most recent, wasn't she last meta in the utility carry phase of 2017?

Actually, her slows have been nerfed/buffed, mostly during early game.

Boards tends to complain about what they perceive to be the most "annoying" or whatever appears to be problematic for them.

When Ashe becomes strong, for example, no one complains about how strong her ult is as an engage tool, how her E gives a huge advantage for her team against the enemy jungler, etc.

When Tristana became strong, literally everyone started to complain about her W and R, despite nothing being said when she wasn't being played.

I myself heavily favor Ashe over Trist, in that I would much rather play or play against Ashe than Trist, but even I can see this bias.
