Can we get early game champions to actually fall off again

Bultz··8 votes·3,737 views

These new seasons since runes were updated have only made early game champions playable all game. Like too good all game. Champions should be falling off. Late game champions get nerfed a lot for being too good early, but I don't see enough early game champions being nerfed for remaining good all game.

If they actually make carries weak early again.

if lategame carries are allowed to lane decently vs early game champions then i don't see any reason why early game champs shouldn't be able to play decently in late

Except they aren’t. Outside of Jax.

champions like vayne or vlad have a free laning phase right now on bot/top respectively. They don't lose hard.

Vayne is extremely easy to burst out. Or just pick jinx/sivir into.

Vlad has always been hard to shut down due to his safety, this isn’t new. But he sacrifices a lot of burst and consistent damage for that safety. Also, if his pool is down, he is litteraly a free kill. Also grevious wounds is available to everyone.

Agreed. Renekton is suppose to fall off after he loses lane. Not farm for 15 minutes then suddenly be stronger than you again.

I sense a growing trend.

Year of the alligators ?

Renekton does fall off though.

Renekton does fall off though. If you're not farming and he is, of course he's going to have an item advantage.

Except he doesn’t.

The case used to be, if you went even with him on say, gangplank, you would outscale him fairly quickly, but if you fell behind, he was going to be in your ass all game.

Now it’s , oh great. They picked renekton. Guess I’m useless for the rest of the game.

Only when we get late game champions that don't delete everyone at 2 items

It is not the runes. It is the mentality of "flashy plays make players watch eSports" that has ruined the game for anyone who enjoys strategy or tactics or skill beyond twitch-reflex deleting people.

Teemo early game champion that falls hard late game. Currently getting reworked into an abomination.

Just bring back defense. Then lategame and early game champs won't be so overbearing.
