Damage too much?

AR URF·Nov 21, 2018·8 votes·3,061 views

This has been a topic since the start of season 8. I don't want to sit there and talk about season 8. I just want to talk about the damage that currently exists. So riot, you guys admitted to damage being too much. You got rid of rune tree bonuses and slapped on 5/10 armor or 6/12 mr. Now it just feels like burst is even worse than it was. Now that wouldn't be so bad if it wasnt for the fact that assassins now get two longswords worth of free damage with the 20 adaptive force. this shit show has to end somewhere.

lol its been the topic since the start of season 6.. as soon as they added they "keystone" masteries.

with every singe "rune" being effectively stronger than any keystone. we are WELL past the point of "damage creep"

i mean this is just ONE example

press R = kill

like absolutely no skill required.. this game hasnt been about skill of quite a while... its about who picks the most OP shit.

I mean if you only choose adaptive dmg then youre squishy af. The armor and mr boosts has shown that it actually works. Champs like Talon have a lower WR cause they cant level 2 kill you as easily anymore.

Some safe assassin types can absolutely smash with adaptive 2 adaptive force one armor.

Then why has Zed's winrate also plummeted? Shouldnt the op dark harvest(thats being hotfixed btw) benefit him along with all the adaptive dmg? Or is it maybe now a lot easier for people to survive early lane against ad assassins and thus making them less snowbally? Theres literally 1 good assassin rn, Leblanc. And since DH is getting hotfixed, well see how good shell be after.

As confusing as it is currently, but the amount of AD you get from running 2 adaptive force is still 12, which is the exact same bonus if you went with pairing of the following paths, sorcery, domination, inspiration. You get 20 AP if you're AP, which once again is the exact same amount of bonus as before, the only thing that has changed is the added 3rd path which increases overall tankiness on average as it's a pure defense path.
