The correlation between Top, Jungle, and Mid.
Riot,
I genuinely think that you must add some sort of small guidelines to your Champion Creation/Design Team if you want the Balance Team to have a break at dealing with what they have to deal with. So, hear me on this one.
-
Just make a small list of things that a champion should NOT possess in the same kit. (I said things because: innovation may kick-in with a revolutionary twist). And compare them with existing champions if able. (clones, global presence, traps, etc).
-
Another small list of mechanics that a champion should NOT possess in the same kit if there is another strong mechanic already in its kit. (Stealth, executions, revivals, stasis, invulnerability, silence, etc).
-
Make a small list of the well known and balanced champions that do not have a "criminal" record, and adjust a guideline or comparison between them, with any new "in-the-making" champion that the Design Team might be cooking.
Riot, you guys are smart, you probably already know this, but I just felt that i needed to point it out regardless because this is getting out of control. Mid Lane will become a future Top Lane if you keep designing without a Gameplay Overseer. In all seriousness, I will leave this here in the hopes that it reaches high command ears. Probably not, but then again, this is the mayday call.
