Aren’t you happy?!

Aren’t you satisfied?!

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!?!

No?

You all were calling for nerfs and nerfs for damage in specifics and 9.2 is going to deliver! When are you guys going to not hate on Riot doing their job on patching their game to your standards??? When will you give them a pat on the back and let bygones be bygones for the next upcoming patches??? When will you stop hoping for season 3’s revival???

WHEN?????

You know people bitched about balance back in season 3 as well right? Like people wanted Morello fired just as much as they wanted CertainlyT fired, but apparently no one remembers that.

People don't remember the misery of the tank meta (4 champions beating the shit out of a Maokai to barely even graze him) and yet they're begging to bring it back again, apparently its true that people's memory are absolutely terrible and short in this day and age because tank meta is torture.

Firstly, there will always be a meta as absolute balance is near impossible to achieve, especially when patches come out every 2 weeks to prevent the game from going stale.

Secondly, tank meta does not mean that a tank is now able to do 1v5, it just means that the class "tank" is now the strongest class and most effective in terms of winning. If you were to compare this to assassin/bruiser/mage meta, where you get bursted in 0.5 seconds then yes, i want to go back to tank meta.

People are going to complain just because thats what people do. They dont like something or they see their favorite streamer said they dont like something and then its all over reddit and then people who dont even play start spamming the boards.

Honestly these seasons dont feel that different to me apart from tower damage is increased (which is good, but annoying cause i cant pretty much assured dive and survive as Leona after a slight lead lol) and the fact that there is no flat armor and stuff that we had gotten from the runes (which they added some of that back, so if people utilized it they would see a difference).

It's nowhere near close to season 3. Most complaints in season 3 were about specific champions, I hardly remember any actual core gameplay complaints and people who wanted Morello fired were small minority of mains whose champions he gutted swiftly after becoming overpowered. Now most of the complaints are about gameplay sucking a major dick, players leaving and I would bet my life that 50% of the entire community would actually pay money to see CertainlyT gone and pay triple the money to see all his champs deleted from the game.

So stop spreading misinformation, it's not even close, season 3 had minor problems, seasons 6,7,8 and 9 as well by the looks of things were/are/will be a major fuckup and the definitive death of this game.

everyone complained about assassins like ahri and zed dominating the game and how adc were garbage cause forced to rush bt for lane but then needed bt+pd+lw to be actual champions with ie being 4th or even last item since you simply needed lw to deal with armor

A Chaotic Mind1 votes

oh and also top lane with no impact and the only viable junglers being lee+elise+ either vi or j4 depending on who was less nerfed between the 2

Ruin everything for 2-3 seasons and you want us to start praising them for a change that isn't gone live as of yet. Sorry, but It'll take a little more than that to receive a pat on the back.

They did something, but this is WAYYYYYYYYY less than is needed. Good start though

Yes that's good

allow me to play the game in 9.2 and see by myself if it was enough

Those changes still wont change the fact that people will one shot you in 1.3 seconds or less.

Well, maybe you should git gud. People complained about being killed in far less time before Season 8.

I am so sick of this bullshit "get good" crying. You know why people complain about the current state of damage? Because on top of one key ability hitting you meaning certain death with mostly no counterplay once it hits [aka Zoe, Aatrox, Irelia,...] u also have to deal with these shitty spells constantly. We live in a world where the normal sr has turned into urf, every ability is always up effectivly killing smart traiding unless u are one of these hyper mpbil one shot shit shows yourself. So yeah people are pissed, i am sick of people picking aatrox thus deciding that they have already won lane. It is pissing people off and rightfully so. Riot know exactly what urf does to the game, yet they make summoners rift urf for god knows why. Keep shitty arguments to urself so the rest of us do not have to suffer from ur idioticy.

Considering I was Diamond 4 on 3 different accounts in Season 8 just shows how ignorant you are on this discussion lol. You being gold/plat for 5 seasons doesnt back up your claim that these damage changes will change anything.

When tanks are strong there is counterplay to it. A lot of there abilities can be dodged (like Maokai saplings for instance), there are plenty of items you can build to EASILY destroy them, and they lack mobility in their kits. Tank meta is honestly the healthiest, because tanks have more counterplay than any other class of champions.

Yeah, but how did you dodge Chogath flashing onto you and eating you for near 1700 True Damage? Or Maokai using his undodgeable W on you, easily isolating you for the enemy to flatten you? Or Mundo running, completely immortal and running you down, outdamaging nearly every single carry?

People who like the Tank meta always seem to black out the worst bits, like how it paired too well with the Enchanter + Marksman Meta. Don’t say that it’s the healthiest meta purely because it’s better than damage Meta.

If you put yourself in a position close enough to Maokai and at the same time far enough from your team for his W to be a death sentence, heed your own advice:

Thing is: the inverse of those circumstances can happen. Maokai can still make his root and combo a death sentence to you in a closely knit team fight, not dying despite 5 champs wailing on him and peeling for you, and not die until his own team shows up 20 seconds later.

Surely this wet noodle balancing is just what we need to git gud and not die, right?

Implying we can only have one extreme or another and no in-betweens.

Tell me one champion who isn't going to destroy you when they flash into you. I'll wait. This isn't something exclusive to Cho'gath.

You are acting pretty neurotic. The changes arent live and are subject to change. The people who whine about it also won't know what the game will feel like when it gets here. Also.... some things got nerfed and others got buffs. This isn't like a damage nerf across all champions or runes.

Oh wow -1 AD from runes!! That should do the trick!!!

Chill... wait for the patch to actually get here, wait a few days, and then see how the community responds. A lot of the whiners may not show up though because they might be enjoying the game instead of posting on the boards.

Dont worry, on 9.3 (I think) they will rework crit items again and if they launch the items they showed on the last post about it it's a nerf to crit adcs so booom there you go, dmg is nerfed finally.

Would the general public be pleased by this transition? Probably not. They’d take Tyler’s rage and Hashinshin’s whine as the Messiah over Roit.

saltran1 votes

You'll be surprised but Hashinshin doesn't want more adcs nerfs, quite the opposite, he wants adcs to be buffed even a bit.

If you watch his stream he rants about junglers (role) and mages and not about adcs anymore.

Really. I’m not surprised at the least about jungle and mages, but ADC is a surprise to me. Guess even he pities them.

saltran1 votes

He wont admit it but he just misses complaining about adcs being busted and he cant do it on the current meta.

I mean they nerfed one single AP item and a Summoner spell, that Summoner spell even got a reduced cooldown for compensation.

The entire city is on fire and you want to Pat them on the back for putting out one building? Lol sounds like season 3 to me.

Warlord Rhinark1 votes

They're buffing Irelia's damage though.

So no, they aren't lowering damage.
