Why is Riot Just Over Nerfing Champs.

  • Im confused with the nerfs that have been coming out from Riot recently The main ones i wanna talk about are Kassadin Veigar Azir .

  • Kassadin This nerf is ridiculous, Riot has literally made him unplayable and no point of playing him. His R was the main thing that made us play him through his terrible early and mid game. With this range decrease to basically being flash with still mana cost scaling is ridiculous. From 700 to 450 is kinda of crazy many champs have this in their kit as basic abilities. The include but are not limited to Lucian Shaco Leblanc LeeSin Fizz Caitlyn Graves Tristana . But you know he will no longer be banned anymore. Wait is he no longer banned in solo que anymore . Because of champs like Ahri, Zed, Vi, J4, Kalista, and gnar.

  • Veigar Now really Nerfing our little dark mage. Why i have literally not heard a group of people complaining about veigar. But making is Q which is his primary way of farming and and harass a skill shot really. Do you know how easy it is to just stand behind minions. The fact that you changed it to a skill shot and kept it the same. Atleast make it go through "All" units are something its practically useless in lane. And his event horizon with a delay. With the assassin centric mid lane like the Leblanc's and Zed's thats plenty of time for them just to jump away from him. But you know his ban rate is the highest.

  • Azir Sigh all i can say about this is I considered him to be one of the hardest champs to master. The fact they nerfed him so hard and literally no in the community complained about him is ridiculous. But you know he made plays like LeeSin .

  • Finally they are going in the wrong direction by nerfing everybody. If they keep doing this before you know it everyone gonna be nerfed and champs like Viktor Karthus Galio Anivia are gonna come into power. But they will be considered op because everyone is nerfed. Then the cycle continues they need to just buff everyone.

Viktor is already pretty good. His death ray can deal some serious damage.

But what is his pick rate / win rate though. Im not saying these champs are bad they are just overshadowed.

As far as Veigar goes it goes through one target, so it hits 2 total. And if he's making you hide behind your minion waves he's reducing your farm significantly. Even if he can't land his Q the threat seems to be a good deterrent.

Changes aren't always about the highest ban rates. Veigar (with his old kit) was never going to be allowed to be strong. He was too much point and click and potential several second teamwide stun at instant speed.

No one complained about Azir? You sure about that? His ban rate was extremely high. A good Azir would make the laning phase oppressive as hell. Worse than Syndra and Syndra got gutted just as well (though she wasn't OP to begin with unlike Azir).

Not going to say he wasn't overnerfed because he clearly was. But he absolutely deserved nerfs.
