Agreed, same BS as Ardent Censor.

Ardent censor has warped the meta. Ignite has not.

Are you sure? Every lane has ignite as one of the summs now. Even Jhin is using it

It doesnt effect pro play nearly the same way though. It was only picked 8 times in the TSM - Echo Fox match in a best of 5, WAY LESS then TP (17 times).

Even in the 100 theives - Flyquest match up Ignite is 3 to TP's 10 times.

It is simply a Soloque issue, which is likely an over-bloated one. Seeing as Generally I feel like barely any of my kills actually need ignite.

That's like comparing Ardent to your starting item and saying Ardent isn't strong cause people built their starting item way more.

What???? LOL. TP and Ignite are the same as compairing dorans ring to ardent???? What kind of argument is that.

To a meta where almost not a single Tank Support aside Alistar was played? Sounds exactly like the time when ADC got shit on when Crit items got nerfed.

would be nice to be able to pick summoner 3 botlane without feeling like a troll

I'm surprised.

The game I'm in right now has double exhaust supports.

You use one game as a sample size, so I thought I'd share my history to show you where I think the guy you're replying to is coming from ..let me tell you how often a double exhaust game happened to me in the last 20 SR games I played, I took note of all support summoners:

1 ignite exhaust 2 ignite ignite 3 exhaust ignite 4 ignite ignite 5 ignite exhaust 6 ignite ignite 7 exhaust ignite 8 ignite ignite 9 ignite ignite 10 ignite exhaust 11 ignite ignite 12 ignite ignite 13 ignite exhaust 14 ignite ignite 15 ignite ignite 16 exhaust ignite 17 ignite ignite 18 ignite exhaust 19 ignite exhaust 20 exhaust exhaust

Took 20 games to find a double exhaust bot lane for me - so that's a pretty rare for me/my region (NA), however I looked over your SR history and you definitely have way more exhausts in your games, so that is worth noting! And if you look at my history you'll see many of those supports are champs like Janna/Lulu/Braum/Soraka etc with ignite. There is 29 ignites taken, 11 exhausts. I wouldn't say exhaust is trolling, but ignite definitely is outshining it in general.

In that game you posted the image from there is a Jinx and Vayne adc, which is very good reason to take exhaust over ignite. I think they are playing smart!

NA meta is on another level now imo xd

HaIlMonitorSep 1, 20181 votes

That is common through all elos though. I have noticed looking at pro matches supports are often the only person to have Ignite.

At least it's getting nerfed.

It's better than nothing.

I hope ALL assassins get nerfed and ignite gets nerfed :(

JefftiffyAug 31, 20183 votes

The one thing I will say is hopefully this year when we get the "How many times Ignite was said in Worlds" video it will involve a lot more gameplay and actual events rather than the casters just dropping it every few seconds because of how broken it is and how much more interactive summoner 14 is than item 3504 .

Hyping up a passive effect was honestly one of the worst things about worlds last season and I didn't even watch most of it. Half the games were like "THE ARDENT CENSOR PLAYS!!!". Me just like sitting and being like, "Wtf is so exciting. They got free stats for doing their job. Big whoop."

AtmosphereAug 31, 20182 votes

Ignite isn't more interactive than Ardent. You point and click, boom ignited. You point and click, boom Ardent buffed. There's no difference in interactivity.

its getting buffed for worlds

BLIGHTBRINGERAug 31, 20181 votes

To be honest it is in need to tunning down, there are atleast 2 people on both teams taking it every game.

It's uninteractive (Point to Click, Grevious Wounds, provides vision/sight on the target) and just boring. Someone could miss their ability equal to Ignites max rank damage, and get away with killing them anyway. It's deteriorating the aspect of skill in this game, because everyone abuses Ignite as a way if they mess up to have the chance to kill the enemy.

It's kinda sad because this Rune in the past would be sometimes picked for what it brings (Grievous Wounds, against matchups who heal a lot). Now it's just a free damage Summoner Spell, to anyone who wants extra burst.

Yeah we had one season where ghost was strong, every midlaners took ghost even some jungler, then we had a season where everyone took tp, now it's time for ingnite? (Fitting the definition of balance at riot: Everything has to be super overpowered at some point of time)

YuGiHoAug 31, 20181 votes

The patch after worlds bout to be poppin!

WoodenCreatureAug 31, 20181 votes

It's more likely that they will buff heal/barrier instead of nerfing anything.

AnateraAug 31, 20181 votes

That is the dumbest choice, so yes, that is probably what Riot will do.

Zed geniusAug 31, 20181 votes

Better seeing some action at worlds than 35 minutes of farming with team scores being 1/1 don't you think though?

haenexAug 31, 20181 votes

I very much agree, I don't mind them nerfing it after world's, cause the first 30 mins of every world's game last year was boring as hell...., I might be wrong but I think that in one game first blood didn't happen until 40 minutes

LetMeCarry1983Aug 31, 20181 votes

You guys want exciting? Spectate on of my Silver games. You'd see plenty of feeding on my teams.

OnlyVelKozOnlyAug 31, 20181 votes

Prediction, this game will struggle to make it to worlds.

ChalzeAug 31, 20181 votes

It's gonna be buffed again just before next worlds after that

My Names GumbasAug 31, 20181 votes

Bruisers will be reworked into a viable state as well.

i love ignite..

Fargo79Sep 1, 20181 votes

so wait they make changes to the Mastery/rune trees to add EXTRA EXTRA damage.. and now people think ignite is the problem?? u guys the same people that complained saying Exhaust was too OP cause it also lowered targets Armor and MR? how about they make a small change like ignite doesnt proc runes like Eletro.. cause thats BS.. seems everyone runs electro to get free 200+ damage for an extra AA.. and i still run exhaust on champs like Braum, Nami, Janna.. mind u i play mainly nami out of those 3..
