From Surrender@20

Melee vs ranged lanes Primarily we want to make sure that we have mechanics to safeguard from ranged champions taking over top lane, which is the primary place where we get melee 1v1 matchups Current iterations have some additional melee only power added to Doran’s Shield

I feel like this is such a huge balance change which will help top lane a lot Also, I hope it opens the door for champions like Karma to receive some buffs without becoming an overbearing support/top laner

All they've done so far is change Shield regen from 30 to 40 for melee.

Non-melee tanks are much worse on PBE because of conqueror getting massively nerfed

This is the only change to help melee vs ranged but tanks have gotten better and mage items haven't been nerfed

Make laning only a phase of the game, and not the whole game would work.

So... Kayle will shit on top lane even harder now.

"Melee" until 6, while Doran's is relevant, than ranged once it isn't.

Thanks Rito.

I'm a little upset that they are doing this. While I do believe that top lane shouldn't lose to a ranged match up- which I never have against a marksmen, I hate to see lanes once more being closed off from different potential matchups. If these kinds of match ups are unhealthy for league, then they should have never tried to open up the potential for bot lane without a marksmen. Shoving any role away from anything should be despised against with this community, yet no one seems to care because well... we've given up from being unheard for so long.

That's cuz it's obviously not enough to make a damn difference jayce, kennen, vlad, gp, and kayle will still be the best picks top lane bc they get to abuse AND outscale just like every other season
