Honestly, Coin is another perfect example of RIOTs "we know better!" policy

From the beginning the boards made clear that the problem with Coin was that the quest reward was not worth it at all.

RIOT could have just changed the reward and everything was ok. But again, like so many times, they refused to listen.

They buffed everything but the reward, but since the core problem was still there, coin was still bad.

Then they gave coin a reward that was worth it, but now coin is too strong because they needlessy buffed it before.

Now all they had to do was reverting the previous buffs and everything would be all right.

What ARE they doing? Buffing Frostqueen.

The Boards tell them already that this buff will just make it a Mid lane Item again. They are not going to listen.

This is the same that happened with Caitlyn.

Everyone said her TRAPS need a nerf.

They nerfed everything but her traps because "We know better than the community what we have to do!"

Then they nerfed her traps, but didnt change the other nerfs. Now Caitlyn is garbage tier.

I play this game since Beta, and I have seen this over and over and over again.

At this point, I am not even disapointed any more, I am just sad that they are clearly not able or willing to learn from their mistakes, because they are doing this since Season 1.

I'm super scared of the frostqueen line buffs. The item is already really good, especially the quest reward.

It wont affect Supports at all. It will be a top tier mid item.

And instead of nerfing Frostqueen, RIOT will just nerf AP Champions.

IDK why the opted for adding cdr though. That's the one stat that supports have an abundance of.

I already know someone in challenger that rushes the item on VLAD of all champions.

10% more CDR now too? lol

50% MS is totally necessary for supports. /s


Item is going to be 95% stat-efficient and offer a ton of bonus gold. Its obviously going to be built mid-lane now.

Yeah idk about the Vlad thing LOL but 94.5% efficiency without the passive is quite scary. It's not like all mids get all 6 cs every single wave anyways so they will be able to find a pocket to use the passive too.

Hoping it'll just be a fad. item 3165 is still there afterall.

The problem with Riot's balance philosophy is they won't nerf what's 'unique' to champ or items even if that's why they're OP/frustrating to deal with. You can nerf what's make them unique and that won't take away their uniqueness. It's not like their kit magically changed.
