Why in the actual f**k is Kaisa buffed in ARAM?

TheShréktEffect··28 votes·9,842 views

So I pretty much only play ARAM nowadays, mainly because SR is just shit. At least ARAM can be fun most of the time. But one thing I don't get is why Kaisa does 12% more damage there. As if she wasn't already broken enough in SR. Seriously I fucking hate that champion so much, every time I see her I feel sick.

AP Kai'Sa is something else in ARAM. Her W pretty much ignores the poke reduction.

Because some kaisas dont realise they shouldnt R next to a fizz( near any assasin actually) that's 1/3 hp when fizz cooldowns are coming up.

Or kaisas thinking they should always go AD or on hit when Ap can be better depending on comp.

Some of them buffs are stupid do you know leblanc/akali have +12%damage dealt and -10% damage taken, some of rito aram 'balancing' is stupid.

Even with the 12% damage buff, Akali is still one of the worst performing champions as is LeBlanc. Both of them are within the 20 worst performing champions.

18% on Akali. Yes because Assassin's are not designed for aram, all it means is enemies of ARAM players get frustrated with her deleting them quicker than ever yet she is still barreling in like and get's dogpiled on. The 18% extra damage doesn't solve how ARAM is designed.

And is more damage going to help them? rarely if ever because that doesn't fix the issue of them being not able to flank an enemy due to the straight lane and perma 5v5 nature of the gamemode, just like making veigir deal less damage and take more damage doesn't solve his cage nearly taking up the whole lane and being a pain to face.

These percentage based change's only work to an extent and then you get shit like eve (15%damage boost) facing janna (+10% damage taken) which sounds horrendous at how much amplified damage that is.

Cuz bad players playing them.

This reflects how horrendous SR balancing would be if we balanced purely based on winrate.

No wonder every ARAM Akali does s billion damage and feels like a tank! Jesus. That's insane.

Oracles works against her btw. Makes fighting her in ARAM far less painful.

You cant pad bad descision making with champion buffs (which is where most adc assassin mage yasou and riven buffs come from)

Because riot instead of nerfing and buffing around top 10% ARAM MMR accounts balance around the entire spectrum.

Her win-rate in ARAM is pretty bad. Basically she is one of those champs that's really good if you know how to play her but you can't pick her up the first time and expect to do well.

That's why I expect that she is buffed.

In my opinion though (in ARAM only) champs should not be balanced around their collective win-rate but rather a combination of collective win-rate + winrate with players experienced with her.

Champs should be balanced for both how good they are for a beginner and how good they are for an experienced player.

That should happen in summoners rift too why is is riven gets buffs while riven mains at 53%+ winrate just because bad people get powerful 1 game then forget that they arent powerful at the beginning of the next game

Aram buffs are stupid Damage dealt needs to cost more than Damage taken. If you do 1% more damage you should take 2% more damage if you take 2% less damage you need to do 1% less damage.
