"X champion beat me, they must be OP."

If you find yourself writing a post because of that reason, stop. This section of the boards has more than enough of those.

If you genuinely believe that a champion is overpowered and is in need of a nerf, go play that champion a few times and determine the area of their kit that is too strong, how to go about giving that part of their kit a nerf without ruining the rest of said champion, and present it in a manner that even a main of that champion could agree with.

Before they fix scuttle i'd like a hotfix for this http://i.imgur.com/OtTbg.jpg 100% unplayable!

Supposedly it fixes itself after a few seconds. That would be great if it didn't happen 36 times every game!

Also, there's some bug in the bottom left corner of the screen where text appears with my teammates' names, a guy being absolutely terrible, and something about my current role. No idea how they missed that.

Have you seen the way that thing dodges skill shots? Pretty sure he is scripting. [slayer-jinx-wink]

And cue the endless stream of salty 12-year olds who just got their butts smoked in lane to come over here and shower this thing in arbitrary downvotes because they'd rather eat their own mastery rank than look at things from a mildly intelligent way.

Edit: It seems am incorrect and I'm not mad about that.

But good sir,

I was playing this role called “middle laner” when all of a sudden a wild AD Taric appears out of nowhere stuns me and then bitch slaps me to death?

What is this nonsense Riot? This is a blasphemy and should be nerfed to the ground, such a terrible gameplay and this company is also terrible. What is the balance team getting paid for?

Better than mid Taric with smite, freezing the wave for the enemy jungle Yi to pick up that free mid cs, alongside his jungle

Taric building damage kills squishy mid laner??? how did that happen? Unless swain every midlaner is supposed to be squishy even though they build one rod of ages and easily pass 2700 hp and some end up in 3k+ territory with just RoA and level 16+

but you forgot to factor in the fact that they will take the champion into a bronze 5 0lp ranked game make one good play on the unranked lvl 30 but then post the vid claiming its broken anyway.

I was actually just bored of Vlad on MSI. I rarely see him ingame. Weird situation that sometimes happens. Not the first time.

While I do agree with you to a point, I also don't think any main would agree with any kind of nerf, even if it wasn't a nerf and a simple power neutral change. Most people will defend their mains to the death, and some will even think they need to be buffed when they do not. Hell look at support mains. They main several champions and still cry they're weak despite taking items from mid laners, bruisers, tanks, etc, getting 800g for free, etc. and being one of the biggest impacting roles in the game.

EvilUnicornLordMay 28, 20181 votes

Yeah, that's more of an impossible notion. I'm just implying that it should be a reasonable change that most people would agree with.

Well i dont speak for everyone buuuut. I am a kat main obviously and i was begging for her passive daggers to be nerfed cause i knew she was batshit broken just cause of them and i was literally happy she got the nerf for em. and the e nerf was also pretty good imo just cause u could E and kill with the E still can do that but they need to be lower hp. I wanted her to be nerfed so i can fukken play her in ranked cause she was a ban/pick champ atm. However Kat is a champ that either requires setting up for a kill in a good non fed 5v5 game or well play against idiots who walk straight into her daggers nonstop and die to feed her. While champs like fizz,zed,talon,rengar,khazix need absolutely no set up, need absolutely no feed to actually one shot someone which imo is pretty fukken bullshit. Not walking on kats daggers and dodging em can be fairly easy for mobile champs like zed,yasuo,fizz making her garbage tier at best unless those players are bad which they normally are but cannot be beat if the player is using more than 1/100 of their brain. btw used to be a zed/yasuo main before realising i am trash scum for needing an advantage over others when going into a game.

You can think that, but you're wrong.

Often times mains are fine with correct nerfs to the correct areas: For example, Sion's laning pattern of maxing E with comet and being pretending to be a poke make pusher, was something pretty much any Sion main recognized as a problem and wanted fixed.

The thing main's dont want is for their champion to be hammered into the shitter, and have totally fine parts of the kit nerfed as collateral damage.

Again referencing Sion: His recent E nerfs with fine and warranted. The Q nerfs which led it, however, were not. Not only did it weaken a part of his kit which has counter play in spades, but it shit on jungle Sion, ADC / assassin Sion, and bruiser Sion. All of which were rare and far from OP playstyles, but all of which had their dicks crushed by a senseless double-round of nerfs which resulted in extreme collateral.

I recall a pretty big post about Sion's nerfs before they hit live where a Sion main was complaining about them.
