Dear riot balance team

How do you keep your jobs? Honestly... I mean you leave champions in a completely unhealthy state for YEARS and somehow manage to keep your jobs. Its ridiculous. I realize that perfect balance is hard to do, but you haven't even tried. I'm going to list examples of champions that have needed to be looked at for WAY too long and the reasons why.

Annie: Her Flash Ult combination is completely toxic and has no counter play for a large majority of the champions in the game. You can literally just sit back and farm until 6, buy a blasting wand, and burst 90% of your opposition into oblivion with a 95% success rate.

Amumu: Deals way too much damage for how tanky he is and how much CC he brings to the table. Not to mention his mobility with bandage toss and his ability to win a teamfight before it begins. Very similar to Annie, there is no counter play to this champion for the vast majority of champions.

Cho' Gath: Ever since you decided to make his knock up exceedingly easy to land, this champion has been too strong. Combined with his sustain and burst damage, I feel like i shouldn't even have to explain this one. Too safe, deals too much damage, too easy to do well on, there is a very good reason he is banned on BOTH teams most of the time in ranked.

Darius: Giving this guy a heal for 8% of his max hp PER CHAMPION hit by his Q is just asking for abuse. He was completely fine before you did this. Yes, he was a little weak by himself, but given a movement speed steroid or simply running ghost was a pretty good solution for him already, he did not need infinite sustain ontop of being tanky and having good dps/burst, very similar to chogath.

Ekko: This guy is just absurd right now. You can miss every ability that is possible to miss on him and kill your opponent with his stupid dash bull---- alone. Honestly i don't even know where to begin, you could completely take away parallel convergence and i wouldn't even notice because i have never been hit by this ability, yet ekko still manages to chase me down and burst me in half a second, while at the same time escaping from my support and jungler and mid lane who are trying to peel him. This champion should be deleted honestly, as i don't think he can be balanced.

Gangplank: His rework was total garbage. His barrels are a very unfun mechanic that is too strong. He is too safe in lane. Essentially all you did was buff his mindless parlay ability and give it aoe, when it was already a problem before.

Gragas: Honestly, i shouldn't even have to explain this. Flash dash guarantees kills. theres a reason you see him every year at worlds

Lee Sin: Hurr durr I kicked you into my team, or got away for free after putting myself in a very risky position while trying to do so, and then 30 seconds later i kicked you into my team. What a great champion design, why not just have him press R and choose a target and have that champion run into the enemy team. theres a reason you see him every year at worlds.

Orianna: You guys claim that she punishes being out of position, while i contend that she punishes trying to secure objectives, or fight your opponents, or do anything besides stay away from her as much as possible. There is no counter play here, and theres a reason you see her every year in worlds.

Rammus: Honestly? his entire kit takes no skill, has no skill shots, the champion plays itself. If you've seen one competant rammus you've seen them all, and he is too strong, too easy to secure picks for his team. Same can be said for annie.

Riven: Too many dashes, too much damage. Cant be hit by skill shots unless you misplay. flash stun combo is very similar to annie. dead before you can react. very little counterplay.

Tristana: Too safe. Deals too much damage. Has free healing debuff. cooldown resets???? why????

Tryndamere: If i have to explain why having an ult that makes you unkillable while at the same time your champion has probably the highest dps in the game and you can easily kill 2-3 champions while being unkillable is too strong.....yeah....

Twitch: Has a moderately bad earlygame, and is absolutely ridiculous lategame. can blow up an entire team in 2 seconds. Giving an adc an aoe attack is not fair. end of story.

Vayne: Her stun. her gd stun. too easy to land it, stuns for too long, her ult makes it impossible to avoid. if she ults and lands a stun you are dead. which is not nearly hard enough to do.

Veigar: his early game is not weak enough. a well practiced veigar is not gankable, and his lategame is so rewarding it is not fair.

Yasuo: There is a reason he is banned every game. He is toxic. He is not fun to play against. He is not even fun to play. Despite what you say, he does not take skill to play. Every single time i have to play against a yasuo it makes me want to afk.

Zed: his passive.

This concludes my list. Also, because i know it is coming, i'm going to state that I was diamond 5 last season, and no, i don't care if anyone believes me. I just know that the "hurr durr he's silver" comments are coming. Also, I'm not saying these champions are all at the same level. Some are worse than others, much, much worse.

Anyway, just thought i would try yet again to help you guys stop ruining your own game. although i think it is futile and that it is already headed downhill at this point. Best of luck with your revolving door of viable champions.

I was kind of liking the post,then you went to rrammus (Ok,it can be a pain when played properly),and i started thinking "biased by bad games he had",then you said

Tristana: Too safe. Deals too much damage. Has free healing debuff. cooldown resets???? why????

  1. one of her specialities is her self-peel,she used to be the "reset ADC" with resets on both Q and E,but she's not anymore since she only has her W reset
  2. wasn't the healing debuff her 1st version,way back when she was released? As far as i remember she doesn't deal any grievious wounds or effects that reduce healings in any way other than buying a item 3033 unlike Varus or Katarina who do have grievious wounds on their abilities.

And with all of these,with even a YASUO on your list,you didn't complain about our mandropping,badass homing spear throwing Pantheon? You'll have the honor of dying at his feetPantheon

I agree with the first sentence but then when you talk about the champions you have no idea what your saying

Don't agree with some of the champs mentioned. Lucian/Draven is much worse than Tristana. Reason Lucian can be viable mid and even top as well sometimes.

But I like the tone of this thread. And yes, Rito's balance team are monkeys.

An "OPchamp" trash thread that doesn't include Akali?

Am I dreaming?
