How to win (Balance, huh?)

Niyumi··1 votes·318 views

Step 1: Pick a tank, an ADC who does nothing but spam AA, or a champ like Xin, Yi, Annie and so on that has no skillshots to speak of.

Step 2: Click on people.

Step 3: Laugh as they instantly die before all your "skill" and "balance"

Step 4: Climb to challenger, and then go click people to death on the LC$ stage (seriously, what high-skill champs do you see there?)

Step 5: Win the game.

So, Riot, why can someone like Trundle build FULL TANK and triple my damage as Graves while I have 300 AD and a Lord Dominik's Regards? Why do champs with targeted abilities hit 3-4 times harder than any skillshot champs? Why are ADCs who do nothing but spam AA the highest source of damage in the game, despite being the easiest? Why does Zed, one of the safest champs in the game, have higher burst than a champion like Graves, who is BUILT FOR BURST, and has to go all-in to use it?

Please, do tell me how you can even begin to claim your game is balanced when the least effort yields the highest reward, in every way.

You're obviously doing something wrong if you're complaining about people doing more damage than you as Graves.

Or, maybe, Zed has just a little too much damage, and Trundle can do way too much damage while building nothing but armor and HP.

And Graves is just so underpowered with his 56% winrate in 3 lanes.

Or maybe people just don't know how to play against him. He's been the same (pretty much) since his rework release, and people are just now complaining about him. If he's always been so broken, why has no one complained until now?

Because he's pick/ban in lcs and everyone realized how broken he actually is.

Winrates don't skyrocket with popularity, but in this case it did, meaning that everyone picking graves had a really really easy time winning games.

So what you're really asking is... "Why am I so bad with Graves?".

No, I actually do really well with Graves. I'm asking why the most braindead, pathetic champions in the game are, by far, the strongest -- and for no good reason, either. It's not like there's some innate risk or challenge involved, they just click and win.

Graves with a bruiser build easily 100-0s any non-tank... Yet you're complaining about champions that build similar or go glass end up killing people as well, often times slower than Graves does?

Complains zed an assassin who is literally built to 100-0 squishies in seconds has more burst than graves.
