There's so many problems with balancing right now

It's not one or a couple champs. It's honestly the combination of all the new items, changed items, new champions, champ changes, along with class overhaul.

There are so many items now with unique passives that are very unique. Like item 3053 +item 3812 together is really strong.item 3078 gives high attack speed, high cooldown reduction, large movement speed buff, and high flat damage. Then there's the obnoxious healing of item 3065 , tankiness of item 3022 and item 3748.

If you had those 6 items I just mentioned in a single build you'd have 4000+ health and do a shit ton of damage and be immune to burst, while being able to kite and chase.

Core AP items now gives CDRitem 3001 item 3157 paired with the tankiness of item 3027 item 3116

GA is super cheap now because of all the other items being so good, which makes GA a cheap and good buy

Then there's overloaded champs like Ekko along with just the usually imbalance of the game

Then there's the flat dmg of fervor ~120 per auto attack without a single item


It's the combination of all these things that are making the game unbalanced, unfun, and repetitive.

item 3075 item 3143 item 3102 these items are almost never used anymore unless it's a specific counter item. The game needs some big changes if any of the problems being complained about are to be fixed.

I feel like item 3075 should get Grievous Wounds, because how useless thornmail become late game. Unless your Rammus and Taric

I've always believed it should be a counter for lifesteal (even if lifesteal was apparently supposed to be it's counter). Not to mention with all the healing available in the game right now on top of the only forms of GW right now are item 3033 (That you never see an ADC with) and item 3165 (which feels like it should switch passives with item 3033), this would give a nice 3rd option for GW for non damage dealing champs, while having a good counter on it's own (by not attacking the champ equipped with it).

I feel you. And despite this shit it seems no one has the brains to build item 3033. Not that it solves the problem alone, but when theres a swain, vlad, mundo etc... and people don't know what grievous wounds are it feels bad.

item 3123

800 gold to counter Vlad instead of crying about his power.

Morello?

I know the item exists, but you also have to be below 40% health and it costs 3x more. I can't do shit about vlad if I am playing support and the rest of my team doesn't buy executioners calling.

Well fuck. That's unlucky.

Did I mention Vlad at all? I'm pointing out the imbalances in the game. Keep your personal problems out.

I think, that buffing real tanks is the way to go. Leona, Rammus, Nautilius, Sejuani, Amumu, Braum. Not some bruiser shit, just very tanky tanks. Next to no damage in late game, but super hard to kill with a lot of CC.

Tanks are obsolete right now unless their build half-way AP

Don't forget riot dropped the armor & damage reduction on turrets; as well as gave the minions their own snowballing bonuses to speed up the game. Making comebacks nigh impossible due to the winning team being able to sit in one lane while the minions bulldoze the base.

Thanks for the broken build kek item 3812 item 3053 item 3078 item 3065 item 3022 item 3748 Trundle

But really you're right, it's sad when Vi with item 1400 item 3078 item 3053 item 3812 + Etc is more viable than the standard bruiser build, simply because she can potentially erase most opponents she jumps on. While bruiser Vi deals a little damage, and usually gets peeled and erased instantly. She could just play the role of peeler if engaging isnt working, but if that's the case why not play a tank with better peeling and/or engage and durability. Maybe its just me, but i dont like this high damage era we are in, there feels like there's less strategic skill and just more reactionary skill.

Omen bad? LUL. It's the best armor item. It's equal to the rest.

Not unless you're counterpicking against somebody. Otherwise, deadmans takes over.

Same HP, 10 more armor, AS slow passive

How is that not better?

If you bought those first 6 items you still wouldn't be kiting well because no movespeed other than item 3078. I do agree items and masteries are a large part of the problem though.

They buffed item 3065 healing because item 3123 is back but you can't expect logic from any adc you get unless they saw that in LC$.
