Olaf, Twitch, Jax, Dr. Mundo, Elise, Syndra, Kha'Zix

these champs all need buffs right now but nobody will say that because the community has hated every one of these champs historically

People will say "buff sona" when she has a 52% but not buff jax or olaf when they have 48 and 46% win rates lol

Elise really could use some love. Syndra, in my opinion, although on paper is in a really good spot, currently has a bug where her stun will shoot straight backwards from where she was aiming (I've only seen this bug, haven't actually been able to reproduce it).

While I understand your approach, just to give my two cents on each champion:

Olaf: His recent buff did him justice, with jarvan and anivia not really played he can just pop ult and hundred to zero the enemy adc (unless it's Kalista...) pretty quickly with the right build. With that said it requires your team to follow up and record summoner spell times otherwise you'll die miserably when they flash and suddenly its a 4v5 that your team probably can't win.

Twitch: I actually cant think of why you listed him, what's wrong with him currently? I'd be more eager to put up Miss Fortune than twitch... I think he's in an ok spot atm: just has to suffer through difficult laning phase with all the leonas and naut's in solo queue currently.

Jax: I agree with slightly. I dont think he's that underpowered it's just solo queue tends to end before he hits his stride: and if he falls behind... well it takes a long time to become the monster jax is. Still love the champ, but wouldn't mind him seeing a little love.

Dr. Mundo: I LOVE MUNDO!!!!! HE'S SO FUN!!!! Anyway, the only problem I have with mundo is again team keeping track of summoner spells, since ignite does work on him. Otherwise he can q farm (or if they try to deny, jungler can gank when they deny since already slowed) if he has to, and when the waves are ~even he can all in post six very easily since most tops run tp. Also a turret diving monster.

Elise: People pretty much covered this one, I don't even know what she is anymore: ap fighter offtank? mage? I really have no idea.

Syndra: She was popular for so long, the nerfs might have been a liiiiittle too hard, but she was buggy for awhile after them which is probably why her winrate went down (I didnt go back to her after the bugs anyway, figure other syndra players felt similarly)

Kha: I can't really have an opinion on this one either... I don't play him enough, sorry D:

Miss Fortune: juuuuuust adding this one~ I thought of adding quinn but MF needs some love...

i disagree with olaf and twitch... the rest.. i agree with oh andNidalee doesn't need a buff as opposed to a removal of the last 2 nerfs. (and by removal of trap nerf i mean revert them to % hp and lower the damage cap to 50 vs monsters (it was 150)), i don't want nid op in the jungle anymore, i just dont want her traps to be worthless vs players i can guarantee you, the nerfs to her are NOT the reason why her ban rate went from 80% to 7%.

its becuase nid cant do jack shit vs tanks.. and as soon as cinderhulk came on the scene, all the nids left

Champs nerfed into oblivion because they were at one point cancerous. Nobody gives a shit if these people are buffed, so long as they aren't reverted to their intensely broken states. As far as the balance team's rework philosophy, I really can't say I know how they approach shit. They do incomplete reworks on champions that were niche picks with stable win rates and low pick rates, and end up obliterating them.

Have you really even spent time around here? Even "Buff Kha'zix" threads aren't exactly rare.

People will say "buff sona" when she has a 52% but not buff jax or olaf when they have 48 and 46% win rates lol

Also, mandatory "win rate don't say anything about balance" reminder. lol

Pretty much

At least Jax was good a year ago, Elise has been trash since the end of season 3

Not to say Jax doesn't need buffs now but Elise needs it way more

I love playing Elise and was sad when they hit her with the nerf bat. Hoping they do something about her soon.
