Im sure a lot of people know pawnce ... hes a good guy that honestly knows league quite well

In one his old videos that i remember watching years ago and remembered it after seeing the post on focusing on nerfs instead of buffs now

..... Pawnce' video couldnt be more right ... when a select few of champions get buffed instead of nerfing more problems just get created .... Like lee was fine before worlds... buff wasnt needed ... ekkos damage buffs werent needed either etc

like pointless Lee buff for worlds ... or ekkos buffs and caits .... we have a limited champion pool to choose from amongst all these OP champs now.. Almost same select group of champs every game ... Nerfs really need to exist more

It's pretty disheartening how Riot cares more about profit than their players. They're already extremely successful, yet they care about making more profits and catering to internet cafe players while ignoring their original fan base and original audience. The rest of us who want to enjoy this game have to suffer Riot's decision to make more profit instead of making a fair and balanced game for all to enjoy.

we went through years of nerfs on everything and it wasn't fun. stop asking for it, it's already been tested, on the live servers.

I'm guilty of calling for "nerfs" instead of "buffs" too but really it's a little more complicated than that.

Defensive stats and peeling abilities don't need nerfs... yet. Offensive power needs nerfed - damage, mobility, CC. Yes the latter two are sometimes also defensive power and those abilities should be hit more lightly. The point is average Time to Kill needs increased and the One Shot Threshold needs moved later into the game. If we end up in this mythical "tank meta" (which hasn't existed once since I started the game way back in season 7), then we can start nerfing those defensive powers. But undoing the power creep starts with nerfing offense.

yeah i dont understand the buffs.

corki got a 10-20 damage buff on rank 2 and 3 of r that did nothing. he will eventually become meta again due to items/runes or buffed again and this 10-20 damage isnt what pushed him over the edge, it'd be whatever buffs were made that made him meta.

its annoying. if i was in charge of balance i would just nerf the worst offenders. ok, they play the next worst offenders? ok, ill nerf those. the key is to make every champion feel good and have a unique kit with pros and cons. not a champ kit that does more damage and is the safest/most consistent.

we have a ton of safe champs that deal HUGE amounts of damage consistently with little mechanical skill, and then we have champs with a lot of damage that needs to be played perfectly and might not even have the same damage. thats a bit of an issue imo.
