The longer I play and watch, the more I see Riot sucks at balance and keeps getting worse
Of course I have only been playing less than a year, a bronze 5 scrub if you will, but I keep up with the boards and watch what incoming new champions, the reworks, and buffs/nerfs. As I watch and learn, the more I see the stupid choices I see Riot making, the more I see that your balance team is completely, utterly awful. Here comes my rant so far as I see things.
Fiora is a 1 v 1, selfish, all-about-me champion. Giving an AoE heal on her ult is not the "most important tool in the box" for her so you say. You want to have her help her team even though she is based all about herself? Why not give her something else, like a mega stun or a heal that actually_ heals herself_ instead of giving her a heal that completely ignores what she is all about. A champ that deserves an AoE on his person that actually follows his lore is
.
You completely ignore champions that need buffs and rework/buff those that don't. Fiora was in a good spot, as so I have seen. Ashe, MF, and GP I can see. But you don't touch the champions that haven't seen anything in years, such as
. Her MS is shit and her AI on her plants needs to be fixed, such as prioritizing champions like Sona's Q. But whenever we ask about her we get no answer. Just like
fans, she has been ignored too, among other champions.
You nerf champions that are already nerfed to hell because they see LCS play and you base your reasons that "oh this champ was OP in that game, lets nerf!"
were recently worked and nerfed already more than the fans have liked and you continue to do so.
and
have been nerfed to hell and reduced to very low pick rates because they can't do shit, therefore lowering their popularity.
I also hate how you change champions to something completely different than what you created them for.
was designed as a mid lane mage, and now she's a support. You just reworked
, completely pissing off fans by taking away a lot of her power for more utility, therefore pushing her into a support role and making her laning phase ruined. Keep your champions the way you designed them, and don't push them into another role they weren't supposed to be.
Your champion designers, one I won't say, but I bet you know who, keeps pushing out champions that have absurd, stupid kits with absolutely ridiculous base stats and numbers, and making people wish they were never created. Once they are nerfed but still viable, and still are kept as a champion on the game, they are still obnoxious to play against and make the game not fun to play. At least for me, some of those are
and most recently,
. The only champ I liked that this certain designer has made is
, and I've already ranted about how she has been nerfed to hell and also pushed into the support role because of the nerfing.
That's basically my rant for now, but Riot, the more you keep pushing out stupid reworks and buffs/nerfs that champions don't need, the more my reasoning grows that your balance/design team does not know what the hell they are doing.
