How about nerfing Aftershock for ranged champions?

Since people complain about Aftershock abusers, why not nerf the bonus stats given for ranged champs, like how Conqueror got nerfed for ranged champs? Off the top of my head, this would mostly affect Lissandra and Fiddle support plus a few other niche picks, and since Aftershock was intended to be a rune for tanks and pretty much all the tanks and bruisers are melee (Urgot takes Conqueror anyways), I feel like this could be generally a pretty good solution for balancing Aftershock (sorry Lissandra/support Fiddlesticks mains).

What do you guys think?

That would make sense.

Not something a rioter would do.

When i full comboed R W Q Iginited Gunblade active on a quinn as ap ezreal and she lived due to aftershock giving her insane resitances, this was when i dicovered how dumb that keystone was. only matter of time before you see aftershock vayne popping someone with E and getting 100+ mr/armor.

Lissandra mains have no problem with nerfing Aftershock, we want it GONE.

Take a glance at the Lissandra mains discord or Reddit and you'll see pretty much everyone is pissed that they would rather nerf Lissandra than aftershock. She wasn't even strong before people discovered Aftershock on her in August/September. This was before her passive rework in late October, which means Aftershock had a direct impact on her strength.

Don't nerf the champion because of the rune.

no because its important to nerf the champions rather than the problem with abuse. and vice versa when the problem is a champion and not the item thats being nerfed

-rito logic.

How about adding this to aftershock:

To deal damage with this keystone, ranged champions must put themselves into the enemy team, placing themselves at risk of immediately dying

Thresh and Rakan are ranged, so that seems like a pretty big problem with your suggestion.

What specific ranged champions do you think are a problem with Aftershock? Is Aftershock really the problem and not their champion design or ratios?

nerf aftershock in general it's a stupid rune on tanks they do ridiculous otherwise risky shit and aftershock gives them sejuani's old passive for landing an ability and there they take literally 0 damage from it
