Damage is still a problem

Seems like riot takes 1 step forward 13 steps back.

Average death from what i have seen is anywhere from .4s -2.2 seconds.

There is no room for counter play when everyone gets melted instantly. The worst offense is buying defensive items doesn't change those numbers by much if any.

I spent around 6 years of my life honing my reflexes through kendō. The deaths I take happen too fast for me to react to, in many cases. It feels like Riot has overtweaked their game over the past four years or so and the whole thing is a mess. I think they need to take a year or two to sit down, compile all the numbers, and rebuilt the game from the ground up. (Statistically, I mean. In terms of damage, defense, attack speed, lifesteal, etc. numbers.)

I feel like they know damage is high but refuse if that makes sense just mainly for the reason of making LCS etc games for exciting to watch... EVen missions arent really missions when its telling you to watch a game ..

Riot doesn't think it's a problem, so it's unlikely they'll do anything about it. It's rather annoying because they don't play their own game.

Personally, I think the main damage problem is attack damage.

In a lot of ARAMs but also draft pick and sometimes ranked games, MR can completely end teams if their damage is entirely or mostly AP. But, armor is practically a joke. If a team is mostly AD, or even entirely AD, those teams still have a high chance of winning.

As an ADC main, if I buy a item 3156 or a item 3139, I can usually live a fed AP character. But, buying armor on anything but a tank doesn't really too much. item 3157 and item 3026 don't really stop a fed AD champ from one-shotting you. Yet, MR can usually save you from AP champs.

Just my input and opinions of course.

Damage is a problem if you never buy defensive items :)

Game is fine :)

They need to rebalance the scaling of defensive stats first, that's the main reason dmg is so ridiculous since you hit 50% dmg reduction at just 100 armor

every champion already has minimum damage. give people hp so that folks can actually use the damage meaningfully. like yikes Bro why is none of this happening after years and years...oh that's right too radical for the denoms.

you want to know why riot doesn't listen to you guys? Look at your ranks. They should only be listening to chals. Not you guys. Get a grip, have i made complaints in the past? Yeah, do i think the game is pretty awful right now? Yea. But not because of getting bursted. Getting bursted has been a thing since s1, stop whining over No CoUnTeRpLaY and actually learn how to play the game, it's really not challenging at all, most of you guys just don't play with your monitor on

If anything, we need to INCREASE the damage, and gut tanks. Take it from a 7 year player, Being tough and doing nothing takes absolutely no skill, a bot can do that for you. Dodging and landing skill shots in the other hand, are all about skill.

Remove lethality and % armor pen on item 3071 item 3033 item 3036 and add flat armor penetration like idk item 3147 gets to ignore 10 armor i dont know

Who would have guessed resistance being nuked by at least 40% would make damage stupidly high.

Doesn’t matter if you have 1000 armor when the enemy can play say. Jarvan and reduce that down to around 100 with a black cleaver and a Lord dominiks.
