i dont like that riot is recently watering down juggernaut core strengths.
let me just go right ahead and say this. i really think wukong needed buffs. he was legit garbage as a fighter. but im not happy with the way the buffed him by increasing his base ad.
juggernauts are supposed to be slow and heavy fighters. in return, one of their core strengths is that they have the highest base ad values in the game, to give them enough base damage to build very defensive and still be effective carries. theyre supposed to synergize better than anyone else with items like
.
in one of the most recent patches, they buffed
base ad to scale up to 136, which is higher than even a lot of juggernauts get. not sure, why they couldnt just ramp up his bonus ad scalings, or increase his e range instead.
in season 5 they also increased juggernaut base attack ranges to 175, which allows them to make up for their generally slower attack speed to be able to stick to their targets.
reworked version on the pbe is currently sporting a 200 base attack range as an already pretty mobile diver/skirmisher.
id rather riot focus their buffs on the champions strength as divers and skirmishers, instead of giving them what were supposed to be uniqe benefits of slower champions.
hope this trend doesnt continue.
was another diver who was supposed to be the exception with a 175 auto attack range.
combos become more feasable on him. do this a couple more times and you end up with a champion who has a lot of strengths that juggernauts are supposed to have, while also benefiting from the strenghts of his own class (mobility, teamfight initiation).
