Because the Damage as a stat is the most important and valuable in the eyes of Riot. Without it there wouldn't be any flashy plays.

But in all seriousness, it does kinda suck that there's so little of it.

because they are very hard to make feel satisfying. It's way better and easier to just put a stun or something similar in place of a damage debuff that most players won't even appreciate or even notice in most situations. Maokai had an 20% damage reduction AoE around him as his old ult... you think that players even noticed how impactful it was?

so... you have no actual argument then? just "X champion was busted" no he wasn't. There were plenty of times where he was weak just like there were times he was strong. Do you have an actual argument to what I said or not?

no he was completely busted. 20% damage reduction to your whole team isn't a super balanced ability. It's why it got removed.

sorry if you don't feel that way, but it's no longer in the game for a reason. argumentative fuckwit.

it's not in the game because nobody appreciated how useful or strong it was. It had nothing to do with it being balanced or not. People literally didn't play around it, didn't care for it and just used the ult like it was a regular AoE damage skill. The vast majority of players didn't even knew or noticed it actually made Maokai and allies near him take reduced damage. Which is the exact same thing that happens with every single other damage reduction ability in the game. I am sorry you just want to complain about Maokai's old ult like it was even an integral part of his kit... want to know something? it was the most dull and pointless part of it which is why it got replaced for something people can actually feel the impact of

if you're talking about soloq you're correct. if you're not talking about it you're incorrect. It got removed mostly due to proplay maokai being overpowered and usually picked every game. I will never believe Riot removes/nerfs ANYTHING in the game due to soloq reasons. Azir and Kalista's current states should be proof enough of that.

Enjoy being incorrect.
