Things riot needs to fix for next year

Blue Shift··3 votes·1,883 views

High priority:

  • Jax e (Dodging all auto attacks is too strong of an ability)
  • Fiora w (Shouldn't slow attack speed)
  • Kai sa (Her entire kit is too strong, it's not just a number issue)
  • Tryndamere passive (Too much rng)
  • Malphite (Too much base damage)

Medium priority:

  • Veigar passive (Too easy to stack, gives too much)
  • Ezreal (Kit is too overloaded, he can build frozen gauntlet + tabis and not suffer much damage wise)
  • Yasuo (Has too much unnecessary stuff in his kit) (Remove crit passive, armor pen on ult, q scaling with attack speed, and/or shield passive)
  • Caitlyn w (Too strong of an ability when paired with her passive)
  • Malzahar passive (Not fun to have, not fun to play against)
  • Riven passive (Gives her too much damage for how much her kit has)

Low priority:

  • Fizz (His kit has too much base damage)
  • Nautilus (Too much damage for how much cc he has and how tanky he is)
  • Gangplank Q (One of the most annoying things in top lane when he can use it with grasp and klepto on such a low cooldown)
  • Diana (Her burst is way too fast for how much damage she deals) (She is pretty much a walking 50 minute veigar ult on a 6 second cooldown)
  • Kled (His kit is not fun to verse in lane)
  • Akali (Her kit is just toxic, same as kled)
  • Zyra (Her kit has too much in it so she is forced to have low base damage)
  • Rengar w (The healing is too much and makes him very tanky for being an assassin)
  • Ahri ult (Gives her too much mobility)
  • Brand passive (Should not do max health damage)
  • Camille ult (Needs more counterplay)
  • Kindred ult (In the right hands, very annoying to play against. In the wrong hands, very annoying to play with)

Misc:

  • Fix tenacity so it isn't garbage (cc is too strong)
  • Bring back spell vamp (the excuse for them to remove it wasn't valid and now more than ever isn't valid)
  • More attack speed items that aren't just crit
  • Fix magic resist
  • Stop just throwing health and mana onto ability power items and actually think of more interesting things (same applies for cdr on ad items)
  • More variety in boots (It's the same thing for every character, assassins take mobies, mages take sorc shoes, tanks take tabis or mercs)
  • Boots of swiftness (They aren't that much faster than normal boots, only giving +10 movement speed and very minimal slow resistance)
  • Ionian boots of Lucidity (There is way too much cooldown reduction in the game right now, mages don't take it because sorc shoes are just 10x better)
  • Bring back all the niche items (Sword of the ocult, Deathfire grasp, Will of the ancients, Zephyr, Banner of command, Force of nature, etc...) (if some were a little too strong, just fix their stats)
  • Bring back and introduce more economy items (Heart of gold, Avarice blade, etc...)

These were the ones off my head and doesn't include anything gameplay wise like plants, dragon rng, baron enhanced minions being too strong, etc...

Bring back all the niche items (Sword of the ocult, Deathfire grasp, Will of the ancients, Zephyr, Banner of command, Force of nature, etc...) (if some were a little too strong, just fix their stats)

So...you have absolutely no idea why they were actually removed.

If they come back it'd be in name and icon only. The effects of the item would have to be removed.

You are right, I shouldn't have said "all", but the ones I named were fine, I understand many of the items removed were blatantly overpowered, such as "Breathstealer" or "Feral flare".

Even the ones listed were either OP or massively unhealthy for the game.

Sword of the ocult is the exact same as Mejai's.

Deathfire grasp was only overpowered because the instant 15% max health damage was too much, an easy fix is just lower it or even just remove that and keep the other passive.

Will of the ancients was nowhere near op or unhealthy for the game, they only removed it because they removed spell vamp, which shouldn't have even been done.

Zephyr was not overpowered, it was a really good niche item that a lot of people could use efficiently.

Banner of command was nowhere near overpowered until they buffed the fuck out of it, which everyone and their mothers could see that it was too strong. They just need to bring it back to what it used to be, a good niche item that helped split pushers and gave some variety.

Force of nature was a really good movement speed item for tanks. I didn't play the game enough back then, but just looking at it's stats and a few videos, I can tell that it was too strong, they just need to fix the item, either nerfing the total magic resist, changing the passive, etc...

Again, almost all of these items were removed because almost nobody built them, not because they were overpowered.

wow... love how you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. The items that have been removed were removed due to them being either too broken or incredibly useless or warped the power of entire champions into the item itself (hello will of the ancients and vlad). Deathfire grasp literally was a point and click nuke on demand. Sword of the occult and the likes were so trash nobody BUT smurfs cared about them. Also the gold gen items are a thing that are completely unnecessary to the game. They were a thing to help supports gain income but the current support items already do that and in better ways than "you gain gold for doing nothing".

Ezreal kit too overloaded? What? How is his kit overloaded? Because he can fit iceborn and not suffer damage loss (he does!)? He deals most of his damage through spells so his boots of choice really don't matter at all.

Like most of this "improvements" are just you whining about things you don't like than actual issues with the game that actually need to be addressed.

You are extremely hostile for no reason, picking one super small thing out of an entire essay to downvote.

You are a silver 1 support main

Vladimir has been a problem for a long time and will always be a problem, same with ryze. Removing an entire stat from the game because mordekaiser and Vladimir use it too well is horrible design. What about ravenous hunter right now? The rune is literally just spell vamp for vladimir.

This might be one of the dumbest things i've ever heard on the forums. You want to completely remove something from the game because it wasn't necessary, good job dude, maybe while we're at it we can remove plants, scuttles, and wards.

Not a single thing here was an improvement, I think some of these things are cancer to play against like jax e, trynd passive, etc..., please go back to reddit.

My rank literally has nothing to do with your terrible and horrible list of "things that need fix" and it shows how insecure you are that you need to use it as a way to pitifully bring me down but all it does is bring you even further down yourself.

Will of the ancients literally was a Vlad exclusive item. Vlad was literally balanced around the item itself back in the day. The item could not be touched in any meaningful way since it would otherwise make vlad too strong and nerfing vlad would only make him even more dependent on the item itself. Thanks for showing your complete lack of understanding of why the item was removed in the first place. It was not used by anyone but vlad and maybe 2 other champions and those other champions didn't even need it.

Sorry but what good would the other gold gem items do? Since their removal, we had the new support items which do what they did but better and you even get more gold out of them. We had our passive gold gen increased and everything that those items even built into got changed. What would be the point of re-introducing these items? They accomplish nothing. There is no need to have them and all, they don't create compelling gameplay or anything of value.

You not liking something does not mean it needs to be "fixed" sorry but each and every single one of these "suggestions" are useless

Good luck in your silver promos kid, i'm sure your god tier knowledge of the game will get you out while maining the current strongest role in the game. :)

I will, since I don't use useless bias and actually try to improve instead of whining about things that beat me and use others ranks because I have no actual arguments... but you would know about that right?

Wow this really didn't age well, Season 4 gold and hasn't improved in 6 years, even got worse.

You lost me at “nerf Ezreal” seeing as he the second worst adc in the game now. Only above the champion riot has publicly stated they want in the shitter.

Blue Shift1 votes

I never said nerf anything, I think his kit is problematic as it is, hard nerfing the numbers of something doesn't magically make it ok for the game, same with akali right now.

That is what you are saying. Taking away anything is a nerf.

Stop putting words in my mouth, go read the post again, because you obviously misunderstood something.

sigh whatever dude. You want him weaker. No one cares.

Again, I never said that, I want these things to be addressed because right now they are not fun to play against.

Why not just a Kindred rework over the ult?

Blue Shift1 votes

I don't main kindred nor do I play her enough to know what a good option would be.
