Thank you Riot
I just want to say i was so angry at the blatant imbalance of the 6 sec true damage jungle item with a beefed up feral flare. its rediculious gold value, and i got so mad i quit league for the time it was in the game. I couldn't understand how it could get past the dev step, how it couldnt be considered at that stage in a way that considered champs with 1 button push multihits that counted as melee strikes. let alone how that beast got through alpha and beta test phases.
In the end however you reacted and took a very bad NPE Item out of the game and nerfed it to a reasonable level i have resume my league playing again. (NPE is non play environment) WW ult should not do 92 X 5 pure damage that kills through zhonyas, and zilean ult, and etc. i think you will find ww probably didnt need the nerf it was the item as fiora and udyr abused it a lot too.
You also returned some magic resist to the game it was really frustrating having like no items to pick from for magic resist. i think in your development you need to look at each base stat Health, Mana, Cooldown, mp/hp regen, AD, AP, armor, magic resist, and ask yourself can every combination of 2 of these be obtained through level 1-> level 2 combinations and then can every combination of 3 of these be obtained by lvl 2 -> combinations or maybe on that third tier still have it archetypal like "tank items" -> burst items. another thing i see is you talked about meaningful choices. but some items where "too valuable" to not take because they had no real cost. like Spirits visage being almost without compare the most bought magic resist item matched maybe only by chalice. I have seen vlads buy it because its just too utilitarian, if you want to make something a "tank item" have it have a trade off that makes it undesireable for a damage dealer such as maybe a 60 armor and 60 magic resist and 400 health trinity force like item for tanks however it comes with a -some% damage passive that makes you so less damage. or have it an item that makes you stronger the more the other players around you are hit so if you ignore the tank entirely he can reach damage dealer status by being ignored in a team fight ....
So in closing thank you for bringing the game back to a playable place. and for listening to my pleas im sure i wasnt the only one upset.
