The stuff Riot chooses to hotfix and the stuff it decides to let fester for weeks so that Yasuo skin sales don’t decline and Lord Tencent doesn’t lose his shit is mind boggling.
Champion popularity SHOULD NOT come into consideration with buffs and nerfs. If a champion is too strong it shouldn't matter if he's "really popular."
Saezio9 votesWhy have we been waiting 2 years for tank buffs?
Moody P2 votesbecause tanks don't need them
Saezio1 votesnice sarcasm.
All with amazing play and winrates.
Horse Grenades1 votesI kinda, agree, conqueror needs nerf, tanks need resistance buffs not damage.
Moody P1 votesNo. Tanks, systemically, are not bad. Tanks are bad individually; any buffs to them should be individual but tanks as a class are quite fine with a couple of exceptionally weak outliers
I will make a post about tanks soon. I am very discontent with their state of balance regardless of strength as a former tank player. (M5+ on several tanks)
Horse Grenades1 votesI don't think tanks are bad. I think Conqueror makes them almost unplayable top lane, early dmg, CDR, and gold access makes it difficult to ever become "tanky"
huhndog5 votesThe worst part is that his nerfs in 9.4 aren't even that strong. This champ has been in the meta with his annoying kit (i.e. free shield and windwall) for way to long. In order to get other mid lane champions the spotlight, I honestly deserves a huge nerf like what they did to Irelia and Aatrox.
The issue at the moment is that its too easy to catch up when hes behind, and TBH he should be a feast or famine champion.
Mordepool1 votesWhen is he ever famine. You can punish him all laning phase deny him cs make his life a living hell. Then 1 jungler comes and dies to him. Now he is fed
Akali is SO HOT1 votes9.4 is the next patch
Horse Grenades1 votesYes. So instead of hot fixing or gasp nerf him based on the results from the PBE (honest to god. Idk why they even have the pbe they never use it for any type of “proactive” balancing)
We have to deal with 2 more weeks of this abomination
Butterwood1 votesBecause banning champions is a thing
Horse Grenades1 votesWhy can't I have a ban for team comp or matchup purposes and not just for "overloaded piece of shit" purposes?
420 grams1 votesThey didn't nerf Lucian and theyre also still not nerfing Ezreal. I wonder if they even play the game
Moonscourge1 votes[{quoted}](name=420 grams,realm=NA,application-id=3ErqAdtq,discussion-id=qtgBiVjd,comment-id=0003,timestamp=2019-02-13T20:08:50.530+0000)
Theyre also still not nerfing Lucian and Ezreal.
Lucian has nerfs on PBE, they waited for this patch in case the items pushed him out of favor.
Bârd1 votesRiot hotfixed GP10 items because it became to play toplane normally if somebody knew the strat (they probably should have hotfixed the bounty system that made this a problem in the first place, but w/e).
You can still play the game as normal right now, it's just that Yasuo is stronger than usual. This isn't something worth hotfixing over. Every patch has a couple champions that are too strong, you don't hotfix every time something needs a nerf.
