Do the devs have any idea on how balancing works? Like we want adc not just to one shot and then we go from that to a mundo that can just build mr and taken no damage and when he finally does he can press r and get 100% regen :@

Keep doing these stupid thing Riot because I am getting bored and fed up with your stupid staff. People will just leve because use have no idea wtf use are doing!

yeah would have been a nice idea if riot didn't give him double the healing

Mundo has a 46% winrate, last i checked.

He needs a full rework to have a healthier, more easily balanced kit, but meanwhile he just needs buffs.

Weird, I see a strange reoccuring theme between these kind of peoples posts and their OP.GG

"Unranked"

I'm not using this to insult you, rather the fact that you actually have little to far below average understanding of the game, therefore to attempt to critique people with said lack of ability or knowledge is egotistical, condescending, and all around wrong....

On topic, they know how to balance, and they do a pretty good job of it. It's never going to be perfect. There's 140 champions in their game, and hundred of items and options, top that off with runes and very unique abilities that play off items and/or runes, as well as teamates.

This is a balancing nightmare. If Riot could be "ridiculed" about anything, its the fact that they introduced far too many mechanics, items, and champions into a game creating vasts amounts of variables that will quite literally never be balanced especially in relation to one another. That being said, I think it's in a great spot given just how much they have to work off of- and i personally like the variety of it all.

You, a player that does not have expertise or much game history, have (virtually) no right to insult people when you barely have a baseline grasp on the fundamentals of the game. I'd venture to say if I entered match with you, you would be "average" in any one category of: Skill, champion pool, Macro play, Teamplay, or CSing , while completely failing miserably in quite literally every category.

Sorry, you know what? You're absolutely right about that. That was a little unfair to prejudice based off of that...

... however I will say that rank is strongly correlated to general understanding of the game, and not having that history puts you at a significant disadvantage whether you think that or not.

So I will base it off of this:

You're using an ARAM game as the basis for your argument. I'm sure you enjoy ARAM, thats fine man, but basing any sort of argument around a gamemode that is essentially an "extra" and is based off a SHIT TON of RNG (rolling) is absolutely ludicrous- furthermore the fact that this post was based around the idea that he's not balanced- "change it" - because of ARAM is fucking insane. I'm astonished that you think using ARAM experience- as well as the fact it was one game- allows you to have concrete evidence that the devs have no idea what they're doing, when you're lacking consistent data, repeatable results, and have RNG as a factor to your argument- means you have a good grasp of whether the champion is healthy or not.

I cannot wrap around in my head how you could make a post like this using an ARAM game as experience or conclusive data to suggest that he is somehow broken or unbalanced. And I mean that quite literally, I can't even fathom how you thought that was OK.

Mundo is destroyed by healing reduction btw. Even when he's big. I remember one game I got particularly huge to the point they would have to send 3 to answer me and I could tower dive and still get away while my team took objectives. Unfortunately their vayne got to free farm.

Soon as they got healing reduction, I started getting cucked at every corner imaginable. Add that in with a vayne who offers % and true damage and I was starting to get utterly destroyed as long as vayne had someone around her to help either lock me down or just back her up. While he has a lot of safety tools, he lacks mobility and easily is disrupted by healing reduction, armor/magic pen, and or % dmg abilities.

Other tanks are particularly strong against him if he has that scaling. Olaf for example just fucking sits on him, as well as trundle who can steal his scaling. Teemo also wrecks up his world. I don't know what else to tell you but...

If you didnt: 1.) Plan a comp around him 2.) Itemize around him 3.) play around him

do absolutely any of these, of course you're going to be destroyed. Even one of these will negate his power, 2 or even 3 will not even allow him to get into the game. If he's shut down from early ganks, for example (no mobility early, not enough regen either), he can not get back into the game at any point.

Its had to pick a comp around him in a aram game when all you team get ap champs :)

There not just one game mode, they choose to have the other game modes they they have to make sure it balance for all

Oh you're complaining about an aram champ? Lmfao

who cares about aram? it's a total trash mode designed to help new players understand teamfighting and give them a wider breadth of fighting enemy champions.

No, Aram isn't a serious mode, it isn't what the game is based around. Aram, while more popular than twisted treeline, is the bottom of barrel.

It only exists to teach new players about one part of the game while they level up.

nobody takes that mode seriously because it isn't designed to be balanced so why are you posting about aram balance?

The game is balanced around summoner's rift. It's not an opinion, it's a fact.

This is where on a fundamental level, your argument fails.

ARAM is seen as an extra, and while they do put some work into balancing it- it is not a top priority. And balancing around RNG is absolutely absurd. People will disagree on every level just because this is how its viewed, for better or for worse, and in this case I believe for better

no it doesnt If they cant balance it then dont have it. The argument doesnt fail. if they cant balance every single part of it then they need to remove things. That like me making a website and only sorting one part of it. If they cant handle the load then they need to rmove things

Like you'd do any better. So amazing how many pro game designers and balancers there seem to be on the internet.

Did the dyslexia cause you to just devolve your arguments to simply insulting the dev team by calling them stupid? If not, then I'm going to go ahead and keep my correction of your grammar since you're still being a dick. lol Especially since it's just easy to say you have a sickness. Lying is easy over the internet.

Decently sure saying 'stupid <insert person type here>' is calling someone stupid not saying they're doing stupid things.

OK I have looked through these comments and it seems you are arguing about how, in an ARAM, a RANDOM CHAMP MODE you got stomped by a team that happened to have a Mundo while your entire team was AP. Can you give us the champs that were on both teams and what items people on your team had?
