Buffs Vs Nerfs (Influence on champion power budget)

Poske··1 votes·752 views

Over the past years Riot has been nerfing champions atleast 75% of time On top of that some of their buffs arent even buffs (Latest teemo nerf for example)

Riot should stop this trend of mostly nerfing champions

Seriously champion power budget is to low nowdays

Examples: Just take a look at League premiere healer .. she has to hurt herself by big 10% to heal others. Not saying she is weak
Take a look at how underweling thresh ULTIMATE is - Single targeted Damage aoe slow. Just compare it to veigar e ...

If riot were buffing champions 75% of the time. Thresh would be allowed to have a stronger ultimate. Imagine this

  • Each wall would knock back (Preventing enemies from getting inside a box / getting outside a box
  • Each wall would do a damage (Imagine pulling/knockbacking an enemy into each wall and how cool would it feel)

I bet all the thresh mains would enjoy that ultimate more then a current one which has a power of normal ability . Actually thresh abilites are stronger then his ultimate..

Lets take a look at blitzcrank His q takes over half of his power budget..

**Basicly my point> Power budget is really low at the moment **

For those who dont know Champion power budget - How strong champion can be without being op

**Riot start buffing more then nerfing **

Vote on Poll I am sure no one wants their champions nerfed

I could make easly an opposite argument. Nerfing urgot made him useless for 2 years .. consenquence is quite high here

4.20 Warwick was an extreme case and even then Lee sin was still more viable jungler..

What power creep ?????

Plz give me one patch where they buffed more stuff then nerfed rofl ...

Each season champions are weaker and weaker

**I AM NOT SUGGESTING RIOT SHOULDNT NERF AT ALL I AM SUGGESTHING THEY SHOULD MOSTLY BUFF **

Warwick ruined lots of low elo games but hey atleast he wasnt dumbstered for that long

Just go at LoLwiki and look how many champions were nerfed http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Irelia/Background

I would be fine with riot nerf shower But power budget is to low nowdays and they should really prioritize buffs

New champions are way weaker then they were 4 years ago. And since they are weaker its harder to make them fun. They certainly are more fun but thats because riot got better. However every time they release a champion in order to make the champion fun they create 9k weakness which is a good design however. Power budget is getting lower and lower

Notice Malphite was buffed with yasuo release Vayne was buffed with botrk release

However there is no power creep in game eventhough malphite and vayne became stronger. Since on yasuo release and botrk release they nerfed other 123130981230129381209318 things

Last thing riot has to worry about is power creep . They should worry whats opposite of it because its happening to league

Itemization sucked out vayne power budget but thats the other problem however it just made me realise

Riot should focus on nerfing items and buffing champions. Since after nerfing given items they can make some champions more fun. And if they buff a champion he becomes more fun Well maybe not if the buff was something boring like 10 more base damage

Given that League of legends has been balancing around top level Their balance mechanics sucks Since there is no diversity at pro play

While league is balanced for rest of players until about diamond2 and if we exclude noob stompers like katarina

Try playing moba called strife which is perfect example of pathetic power budget . You ll notice how brawlers in that game are way weaker then league champions . Their power budget is pathetic so they are less fun then league champs . That will happend to league of legends in 6 years or so if they keep this nerf shower
