Theory of Autofill and broken Bot lane

Salson··2 votes·141 views

So, a good portion of the playerbase has been complaining about Autofill for a while now.

What if, in order to get people to play Support and also increase the number of Adc mains, Rito intentionally overbuffed both roles?

Don't know how to play botlane? No problem, Rito will shift the meta into Ardent spamming shield bots and hypercarries who rightclick you all the way from Twisted Treeline.

The censer changes this patch (7.17) are obviously a placebo for all the losers who QQed about the meta, rushing it is still good, maybe even better. xD

But ironically the last changes to the item were in January 25th 2017 (7.2 patch)and after over half year (time during which the item has always been pretty popular) people suddenly start to complain that it's broken. And they are doing this in a way that gives you the impression that censer got buffed massively recently, but it did not, it's been in this state since forever.

7.17 is not gonna change much and why should it? Riot has little reason to actually nerf the item, the meta will dissolve itself soon.

So if Riot wantded to attract more players to bot lane, then buffing ardent censers stats was certainly not their way of doing it.

Ardent came into meta when everything else got nerfed.

Start of S7 Jungle - nerfed Lethality - nerfed Everything in Midlane - nerfed Cait and Jhin - nerfed

The current meta is basically 2 tanks, roaming mid, Ardent supp and a hypercarry. And it won't change before preseason.

Start of S7? How does that matter? Also pretty sure junglers were really strong, still are really strong. Pretty sure lethality got buffed before people started rushing ardent censer. Pretty sure we got bramble vest/thornmail before people started rushing ardent censer in every game. Cait nerfed? Pretty sure cait enjoys having ardent censer.

You have no clue what you are talking about.

Oh I forgot "Everything in Midlane nerfed". Show me the patch changes that would prove this bold claim. (who am I kidding, of course you can't do that)

Decently strong, they can win by shuting down the enemy botlane, still can't do shit without their bot.

Pretty sure lethality got buffed before people started rushing ardent censer.

item 3142 item 3147 item 3814 give 4 more lethality and have some 30 less AD.

Cait nerfed? Pretty sure cait enjoys having ardent censer.

She could be hypercarries who abuse it the most and has greater engege support synergy.

So you clearly have no in depth knowledge of lethality and you certainly don't read patch notes, then don't talk about it!

Everything mid...neither do those champion icons explain anything (not to mention prove anything) nor do they hint to specific patch changes in any way, shape or from.

I think you only posses superficial knowledge and i am wasting my time here.

But tbh this is kinda expected from people who make such threads.

I was about to pass this off as a joke, then I'd noticed the trail of salt. Salty joke?

Hm, it's more of a 'conspiracy theory'.

Conspiracy Theories are always fun.

I am happy that Draven had been given a nerf though.
