I swear, if I don't see nerfs to Jhin/Jax/Graves/Eve/Kass/Akali/Aatrox next patch

What about this shit?

cough cough COUGH COUGH

How about nerf damage across the board? I've mentioned this in a post I made a while back that all the champ ratios and stuff are still tuned to the old system, meaning some champs have more or less damage depending on what the optimal runepage they ran in the old system was.

Kai'sa too, IMO.

But Aatrox needs a buff, not a nerf lol. He has a terrible win-rate, and is generally not in the best spot. Yeah, if you manage to walk into every single one of his very small and very telegraphed Q's, you will take a lot of damage. But wouldn't you rather take a lot of damage from someone with the skill to actually land those abilities, than someone like Pantheon taking half your health with two abilities that you can't dodge?

Yasuo nerfs? maybe some Kayle nerfs? Conqueror nerfs? I mean if I see Conqueror getting nerfed i would be smiling of joy.

inb4 more lee sin buffs next patch because he isn't used enough in lcs yet

Eve? Lmao

Or, we could change Stormrazor and tweak the ADC items a bit more so that other ADC's are viable to compete again [with eachother] rather than one sweep and then tiny adjustments aimed at a whole class rather than the limited number in the class. Then another pass at Jhin, Kai'Sa, Graves, and sleeper meta forever Miss Fortune can be looked at again.

Jax needs some taps, I agree. He's very consistent and doing well which might not seem like a problem at face value, however he also retains a large impact on games from laning phase to teamfighting, to split pushing, frontlining, bursting, and objective taking. Rather powerful statement of a champion to boast.

Kassadin is good, but not overbearing imo and depending on where the meta goes will need nerfs accordingly. But as is, I don't think he's sorely in need of being touched just for performing very well and not being particularly oppressive. The numbers he possesses at the moment means generally for any champion, that the meta is favoring them at the moment and can change with other balance notes that need not touch whatever decently good thing they have going on. Kassadin is on the line without needing anything yet for the purpose he provides to a team, but should be kept watch on as the next patch or two comes out and Worlds winds down. Can easily drop a little or spike, and he's very volatile as far as champions go.

Akali and Aatrox are doing awful in regular play, they have Ryze syndrome basically. Akalis shroud being unhealthy and toxic doesn't mean she needs nerfs, it means the mechanic needs to change, so that she can actually have a more fleshed out power budget to balance. As she is, so much is in W that even though her regular win rate tanks, the budget is so heavily invested in W that they will make other parts of her kit imbalanced for the sake of her being unique rather than balanced. If they do decide to change the Shroud so it can actually be seen by turrets at the very least, there might be something to work with. I don't even know what to suggest about Aatrox -- his kit is just pro play sensitive like Ryze and probably won't be easily viable anymore in ranked. It's not as bad as Ryze at least, but it's comparable.

Champion balance is honestly exhausting, nerfing damage across the board with a major numbers nerf to everything would be great just to grant a buffer. Sort of like cutting away the foam just to see the liquid. Foam is just all damage right now and it's covering up a lot of balance appropriations to whether something kills fast or can survive, which makes it two extremes rather than balance (that means patch notes are too busy with the damage and not on kits, objectives, and most other items that are not burst), and the ones in between are just taken out of the equation. It also explains why there's such a large disparity in effectiveness between meta and non-meta champions this season and how solo carry potential is directly influenced by that as well, making for a miserable experience if you are fed on a meta champ vs off-meta to drag a team across the enemy nexus.

Go ahead.

I'm somehow afraid that Riot buffed them even more with some bullshit excuse. We know the balance team too well…

You are missing like 15 other champs bro

Waiting for the youtube link.

Nerf Aatrox? That Champion is literally tryharding everygame in order to win some games because of how clunky his kit are. He can't carry the games almost and are heavy countered if you go into meele combat with him. I know some players will probably downvote my post, but please understand that Aatrox really need thoose buffs in order to like do something in the game. Don't remind me about him being played in lcs but that's really important is it? Because we are talking about in soloq or ranked flex. He just need some big time revert of his old kit but buffed.

Don't nerf Jhin just nerf stormrazor. Jhin has had one change in how long and people are just now saying that he needs nerfs which means he himself isn't unbalanced just what he uses.

But they wanted to improve Aatrox's late game. Maybe tone down his lvl 6 - 9 damage then?

How about we just gut Tahm Kench more because he can save people from a 1-shot meta.

Nasus Nerf just a suggestion.
