They actually went ahead and buffed a 30% pick rate 53% win rate champion (lucian)

Thanks for further dumpstering the game balance for 99.999% of the playerbase thanks to pro play.

Now we have YET ANOTHER permaban and you guys are still yet to nerf graves/jhin/akali/sion/urgot/etc.

Urgot comes up to be a good pick for one patch, and apparently its the end of the world.

"good" pick.

shitting on melee fighters who dont build tank is a-ok as long as he gets to be fine for 1-2 months without counterplay.

understood bro .

50.72% winrate in NA (average of all ranks (((you know, the "NINETY-NINE POINT NINE NINE NINE NINE PERCENT XDDDDDDDDDDD" playerbase))))

49.86% winrate in KR plat+

What the fuck could've triggered this widespread anti-Urgot circlejerk? Did hashinshin lose lane to him and release 15 videos crying about him?

My opinion probably doesn't mean shit and isn't fact-based but I played Jax into Urgot and I felt completely useless. He hit one Q and I ended up losing half my health against a tanky ass champion. It really wasn't fun....

jax e blocks urgot w i don't see how you lose trades vs him

Z3Sleeper1 votes

Dunno why ur downvoted, this is true, how the heck is a Jax losing to Urgot?

Urgot can use Q against him, that's about it. He can flip him when he jumps but I mean, that's disadvantageous to him cuz he doesn't want Jax behind him wailing on him while he tries to waddle away.

Jax is just straight up faster. So when Urgot Q is on CD he can literally just walk up, E and start wailing on him. Urgot E's out = no E for a long ass time. And if Urgot decides to stand there and take the beating with a flip at the end to keep Jax there after the stun he still loses cuz Jax straight up outdamages him.

Really do not understand how Jax loses here.

They had to buff him so he could deal with a 35 percent win rate Sejuani.

They had to buff him because his new skin didnt sell as much :(

Lol ok, let me start by saying, I agree with your point, lucian does not need a buff at the moment.

but what the FUCK are your statistics. STOP cherry picking arbitrary statistics and broadcasting it with clickbait. Lucian's winrate is actually fine in bronze,silver and gold which is majority of the playerbase.

You bitch about how riot is ruining balance for 99.99% of the playerbase while taking statistics only from the top 0.1%???????

Where are you seeing 53/30%? OP.gg gives 50/20%. League of Graphs gives 50/21% at almost all ranks.

Nowhere am I seeing 53% winrate or 30% pickrate.

You can see the stats on lolalytics which is by far the most accurate site. OP.gg is a joke lmao.

Yeah thats entirely biased and theres no telling which site is best.

Thought it was common knowledge that the default lolalytics stats are across all servers while op.gg is only korea.

Terozu1 votes

Ok, but here's the thing, Lolalytics is Plat+, which means Op.Gg is the larger sample size.

What do you mean? Default page for op.gg Lucian is 55k games and lolalytics is 272k games.

By "accurate" You mean inflated? We dont have riots statistics so we dont know what is "accurate" And lolalytics always seems to be WAY higher than any other site i check.

Wait, why Sion & Urgot?

crippler381 votes

They have good teamfight and can go even or destroy a lot of lane match ups.

3TWarrior2 votes

Sion it's probably because he's a scaling champion that has a strong early game at the cost of reliability while also providing multiple sources of crowd control and a second life that does %hp damage

Gnar is more than likely because as a ranged tank without a resource, he has no bad matchups in top lane unless someone lane-swaps and with the damage in the current season, lane swaps are unlikely, especially for a melee into a ranged champion. an Olaf could work against a ranged champion, as could chogath, but the number that can deal with a ranged champion that are useful in pro play are fairly low

And almost no one plays them except Yasuo players.

I mean it does not help lucian alot idk why you think it does.

2Charmnot2Charm14 votes

It doesn't matter if the buff barely helps or not, the fact that they were even thinking about buffing a champ that has 50%+ winrate while having a 30% pickrate is absurd.

Well yea they shouldn't have buffed him but my point was towards him saying that lucian will be permaban.

more like Graves/Kaisa/Jax/Sion but uh, I guess we're hopping on the Urgot/Jhin/Akali train because we don't recognize the difference between unfun gameplay and broken gameplay

Blakiepug1 votes

In other news, Rek'Sai was looked into for buffs but they decided she was too strong in her current state to receive buffs. Yeah, this balance team has some serious double standards.

Solidair31 votes

Lucian is RIGHT NOW sitting at a 50% winrate. Where are you getting your stats?

Edit: Whoops, that was last patch. Still, I don't expect a big difference in this patch.
