Give Melee Champions with Weapons a slight range buff and Mobilize ADCs

Woook3r·Jul 7, 2015·1 votes·446 views

Why dont we give a few melees a slight range buff. Kalista is getting nerfed because she can kite or something but what about this idea? Has it been thought of? For instance, Aatrox has a huge sword and his range could probably be boosted by at least one teemo without ruining the animations. This could be interesting. It would be a buff to aatrox and make him less kitable, improve his laning. Buff some melees buff all melees idk just fishing for thoughts. Hecarim would get the same buff and his animations would still look good.

I think the effect of this would be that adc's can become more able to re-position, safer, and more fun to play, while simultaneously making melees harder to kite. I think some melees would have to keep the same range (like udyr) because they dont have a weapon and the extra units on their autos would not make sense. But thats some diversity for you.

...For one, melees do have differing ranges based on weapons; spear types or longer weapons (Yasuo, Xin Zhao) have 175 range, while those using short ranged weapons or such usually have 125. As a side note, one teemo is 100 range. That would give Aatrox 250 range normally (which is an entire teemo more than most champion's ranges), and 425 range in ult which ties Urgot for autoattack range. It could happen, but it would make a lot of champions extremely painful to face (Riven with ult has 300 range and a 125 range dash on Q! Enjoy trying to run away from that!)

Thanks for not downvoting, I think this is the first of my threads to receive this treatment. Well I was thinking that in return, you could take away the self root on the marksman's auto attack. Like they fire and keep moving! That would look good too! LCSBIGPLAZ! Only Marksmen get this treatment tho. They have their specialized role.

That would be terrifying in a ...well, terrifying, way. Think of Ashe with a perma slow, only now she can constantly move away from you while autoattacking without needing to orbwalk well. Think of Kog'maw, only he doesn't have to choose between trying to burst you down or running and just autoattack melts you while waddling away. Think of Vayne, only know she can chase you without falling behind a bit when she autoattacks. Basically that would make every marksmen be a less flashy Kalista, which would be a massive buff for every not Kalista marksmen and remove a main reason to play Kalista.

You might have to balance it. But melees would be harder to kite and its getting to the point where you need to do this kind of thing given all the damn gap closers and hard engages in the game. League is changing.

And the minute you talk about a buff to marksman you get downvoted.
