Omg n3rf *Champion name* They are so OP! UGH!!!
I went through a scroll on the boards today and remembered a post that I really wanted to make, throughout board and forums history, these posts have popped up whenever a champion gets over a 50% win rate. Recent examples are
and
, now that the meta has shifted in their favor, we see their win rates boosted due to this. Though I do whole-heartedly agree that no champion should be overly, or underly viable, the problem with the toxic complaining of these champions branch to multiple things.
-
Posts such as the ones mentioned in the title, cause champions to get nerfed straight to the ground, unplayable amounts, then after the tables turn and everyone complains about their lack of power, they buff them right back to high hell, or buff them just under the power of the new meta champions who took their roles.
-
Some champions have kits that are innately, a bit overpowered, and reducing values on the abilities in these kits just drives them completely out of being viable except for maybe two specific scenarios. So sometimes, reducing ratios or base damage really isn't enough, and older more "OP" champs simply need their kit redone in order to balance them out.
-
Lastly, if we continue to complain about how strong champions are one after another, the meta picks will shrink further and further. I myself have never been too concerned with what the "meta" is, and I'm not about to start now. Though if the champions that I play become meta, and have about a 57% win rate, you can bet that the boards will flood with nerf posts, and a-lot of them.
If we don't find a way to post more constructive balancing posts that outweigh the posts flaming at their keyboard in hopes of that champion being nerfed so hard they're removed from the game, then this game is going to go very, very downhill.
