Patch 10.5 "Nerfs" for Sett

Extremely Sweaty·Mar 3, 2020·1 votes·2,736 views

Do any of the clowns that work at Riot actually play the game at all? Like what in the actual fuck is going on? In what world is minor base stat changes actually going to effect the insane dominance Sett has in lane? Plus his R got nerfed, like seriously? It literally takes 1 trade with Sett to realize what needs to be nerfed, and its his ridiculous W shield. Like when will this be addressed?

Like his shield would actually be balanced in a way if it didn't do A) ridiculous damage and B) have an insane hitbox. But instead of nerfing something that actually makes sense they nerf dumb shit.

Oh and BTW those Ornn nerfs are shit too because one brittle proc at lvl 3 hits you for 50% of your HP, now it will only hit you for 40%. Smart smart people working for Riot.

minor base stat changes

That is completely false. His base health regen got nerfed by 12.5% His base Regen Growth got nerfed by 33% His base armor got nerfed by 10.8%

Those are pretty big changes.

Also, if you can't walk out of his W, that's your own problem. I've died to a big Sett W before, but I didn't blame the game, I shoulda walked out of it before it hit, which there is ample time for.

Valid point for the most part but to answer your solution, as a melee bruiser player, there is not legit way to engage on a Sett and simply avoid his W without flash. Hit box far too large and no there is not ample time to walk out of it so that is false.

No, those are not pretty big changes. It's easy to act like they are when the percent of change is proportionally bigger than what the actual change is. A third of something is a relatively big amount of change. A third of 9 is 3, which is not such a relatively big change

That being said, Sett's biggest issue is his stupid W. They know it's his W, but they refuse to nerf it because they want him in LCS. These nerfs mean nothing to a pro top laner. You know what would? Cutting the damage on Sett's TRUE DAMAGE NUKE by a significant amount. Why? Because then a pro top laner would just play something else that can cheese kill somebody instead.

They should nerf the shield that stops him from taking a bit of damage for a short time but nerfing his ability to take damage for the entire game is bad?

Odd logic you got there. Maybe dont blow your entire combo on the shield and wait for it to expire and RAPIDLY DEGRADE

You're Iron you have 0 clue how League actually works, your mental capacity isn't high enough to get out of Iron so why in God's name should I take anything you have to say seriously? Perhaps you should increase your rank and play against Setts who actually have half a brain then I'll consider taking anything you have to say remotely serious.

yES, they do work. The nerfs are pretty good nerfs without utterly gutting those champs. By any chance are you a clown?

You can refer to my comment to Kazekiba but replace "Iron" with "Silver" #rankshamingisneeded

You can easily avoid the W's damage by just going in for short trades. Extended long fights with Sett is his advantage. If Sett uses his W at 25% Grit it does very little damage. So either play a mobile champ that can avoid his E to pull you back in or play someone that can take Sett's basic and Empowered basic one-two punches and don't give him so much Grit. That's all you have to do. It isn't hard to figure out. Worst case scenario you play a champ that can poke him with good mobility or disengage ability like Lucian or Quinn or hell Pantheon and Aatrox can poke him with their Q's. End game is if you're making it a goal to score solo kills you're playing the game wrong. Solo kills are just opportunities that you don't have to get in order to get ahead.

Wrong. You should not be trading with Sett in general. When you do, he will force the issue by keeping you on top of him to build up even more Grit. If you're a melee champion, there is ZERO reason to trade with him. You wait for a gank and you kill him with help.
