This one at least I can respond to with a bit more substance. We'll be making some changes to Conqueror in preseason, shifting it closer to a Fervor of Battle like effect. Shouldn't be as punishing against tanky champs as a result overall.
Expect the true damage to be removed
dont worry, every rune breaks Jax
overrated rune anyway
So the nerfed to the ground useless shit of a scapegoat is now also getting even more useless and toplane will be tank/range only lane again?
How fun and entertaining.
Still people here believing tanks aren't played because of conq OMEGALUL
And that's why league is so shit, riot only listening to all these garbage players on reddit that have absolutely no clue about the game when even the 20% true damage conq didn't get rid of tanks toplane. As always tho toplane bruisers have to be the scapegoat and get gutted to distract from the actual problems of the game nothing new nothing surprising.
Everyone else is allowed to have busted runes and perfect items meanwhile bruiser sitting there with the same shit for seven years now.
Good. That rune makes being a top lane tank nigh impossible half the time because you get shredded for carrying on a trade longer than 1.5 seconds. It also threw the scaling of fighters way out of whack because the healing isn't reduced for aoe damage for some absolutely asinine reason.
I honestly expect quite a few previous balance issues will finally get in line once they change this rune to not be so overloaded.
Well this is a start that they are thinking of changing this shit meta.
As an ad main I still hope that there is still a place for bruisers in there.
You means riots finally gonna cut back on the anti tank garbage they’ve been shoving down our throats?
back to tank meta! AOEWIFMOEIWQFGMIOWEQMGIOOIWEGMIO
Fervor of battle? With the current balancing team? Oh god...
Unless they buff the AD per stack decently conqueror will become a dogshit keystone.
The problem with Conqueror is not the true damage component. But the fact that a million items have been reworked to the point where there's infinite attack speed and every Conq user item has CDR.
Or the atrocious reworks that were intentionally designed to allow Champs to insta stack and proc Conq. Most notable examples of this idiocy would be Spear of Shojin and Pantheon.
Congratulations! You just successfully made armor meaningless.
Then of course there are abominations like Yi and Tryndamere which are a category onto themselves.
Tho it's also worth mentioning that Conqueror is a bandaid meant to fix the problem of the fact that Lethality is useless and there's barely any of it anywhere. So you can't really itemize for killing people who stack Armor.
This is especially notable considering the abundance or Magic Pen and the total uselessness of Magic Resist. All AP users are basically doing true damage at all times...while benefitting from other useful runes on top of that.
pls Rito,for the love of god, don't make it :
and we are good to go
Wasn't conqueror supposed to be the anti tank rune?
This just means the new fervor is going to be op.
Either that or press the attack, which is a better rune, is going to become more meta.
I'm an admitted bruiser Darius main, and I'm confident my champ won't struggle with killing tanks much. Tbh I don't even know what fervor does
Makes me wonder if Morde will be on the compensation buff list.
Heres to hoping it benefits the melee users who have been left out by current Conq, and it doesn't become a rune that mages or adcs could ruin instantly. ADCs have Fleet, Lethal Tempo, and PTA. Some use Klepto, but the majority run one of those 3. The Adaptive needs to not give different values. Currently AP gets more out of it than AD, which is unnecessary.
pls not fervor again. just such an ugly rune.
