It's not too late, Riot
It's still in PBE, you can still revert the changes, think a bit ( a LOT ) more about how you could rework Garen/Darius/Morde/Skarner and come out with better results. Cause... 175 attack range on Darius/Garen? So what, you want to have the ranged matchups unchanged but have them become unhealthy against other melee champions? Just.. Why? 50 attack range is not gonna make them work against ranged champions, it's just gonna make them become bullies against other melees... You basically destroy Darius damage output until he reaches bloodrage where he suddenly becomes decent? You delay his Q and add healing on it? Eh? Oh, Garen... What have you done? Reduce silence duration (??) Change a perfectly fine armor/mr % steroid into the old shitty version it used to be? Remove tenacity from active W??? 20% less movespeed when you E champions??????????????????????????????????????????? Mordekaiser would go botlane, you remove his ability to do anything by himself by literally not allowing him to cast W on himself. If that's not forcing a role, what is? Oh, he gets as much exp as a sololaner if he's bot. So? I highly doubt it will make a melee champion with 0 CC and mobility work against a duo lane of ranged champions. His E being ranged does not suddenly make him as strong as an ADC in 500+ range fights. You also nerf his E earlygame, which is already not that great. Since I don't play Skarner, I won't say any complaint that I might be wrong with, so I'll let that one. You know, adding fun mechanics that don't solve crap about the champion's weaknesses/viability problems (Garen fighting villains/ Morde having a drake ghost) won't make them more viable. It's just fancy cover-up that your changes are actually killing those champions. How is Garen ever gonna kill the 'villain' anyway if he can never reach him due to pathetic stickiness? How will morde have a drake if he loses botlane hard and there's no way to ever get a drake in that game?
That's still a lot of bullshit already. What's next? Oh right, straight buff to Lee Sin's ult (and not a small one, duh)... 'Ult tank, get pentakill' jokes starting to rise about that change.
I'll let the itemization changes aside for the moment.
Oh, you buffed Lucian and added an AP ratio to Kass ult. That's like the only good things you've done in such a huge patch.
Ok, it was a fun joke. But you misread the date, it's not April Fools time anymore. Just revert the gross mistakes you've made.
I'd rather have niche/weaker but playable/fun picks than completely butchered champions that you attempted to make work
soon
for sure, probably
as well.
