Your first dickmove was to announce a fighter rework for i don't know how long and then once you were done with updating every fucking class (no matter if successful or not) you pulled it and said "nah fuck that". For a long time bruisers and toplane in general have been struggling a lot and currently we had ATLEAST two champions who can actually carry a game (y i know, the HORROR toplaners being able to actually carry a game, looking at you camille and irelia). Then you announce return of atmas and spear of shojin. Great, finally bruisers other than trinity users might have a chance of playing and winning a game of leggo lasagne. We could have a diverse pool of champions toplane again. For whatever reason you wanted to break the trin/sterak synergy instead of just nerfing the problematic champs ire and camille. Okay well it won't hit camille too hard and spear of shojin might work on her idk, poor jax and GP gets hit hard tho also yorick but well maybe atmas and different build paths can make up for it.

NOPE, riot hates bruisers. Fuck them.

Maybe it's a different english i don't understand? Or maybe my english is so bad i don't understand it correctly? But apparently riot is just fucking over bruisers again and not giving items. Under the light of a shitty excuse. A very. very. very shitty excuse.

Are you fucking serious? Announcing these items for weeks, pulling them AND also nerfing the ONLY kinda good roster of fighter champs? Is this a fucking joke? I hope compensation buffs are coming also next patch especially for jax and yorick because otherwise im so fuckin done with this game and this company. What a huge fuckin joke. What a huge fuckin joke to go through with the nerfs but not the items.

Well played rito.

PS: Yes this is a rant. Yes, i am very angry. I don'T care about my tone. Someone explain this please.

I mean.

I was kinda excited for the return of Atma's.

But I'm actually EXTREMELY happy that they won't put something like Spear of Shojin into the game.

God that item would become a bitch to balance.

It's one of those things where you can't please everyone. Riot changes to much in a short time (a lot of things for which people have asked btw). Things like "ADCs are too strong! NERF THEM ALREADY!" or "All you do is pick mages in mid lane and shove constantly with no interactions." So Riot changes AP items up a bit to encourage less of a constantly pushing meta. Riot does some major adc item changes (because to do the task they had to) to nerf adcs. Everyone absolutely complains and whines and cries about how they're shaking up too much. Riot has more in the works and hears their players belly ache constantly and they decide to listen. Riot says "Hey, we hear you. You are not liking that so much is changing right now too fast. We're going to put a hold on this." then in comes more people whining and complaining that the changes they wanted are on hold.

That's how I see it.

I'm actually glad Spear of Shojin is getting pulled off PBE. Like I don't get it. You're a highly damaging mobile bruiser who builds damage to get ahead & also comes at a cost of buying little HP item, and then this item says "Fuck that".

Some players don't like change so that means we get less items?

I wont mind this decision IF and ONLY IF in the future RIot comes up with even BETTER items or solutions than what they were offering now.

some items showed promise while other items look insanely hard to balance (Shojin abuse on carry champs) I wouldn't mind if Riot used this time to come up with some new ideas to try or balanced pre-existing items a bit better.

item 3742 item 3056 (why not make this into a proper splitpushing item Since thats kinda the gamestyle Juggernauts fall back on?) item 3074 (completely dwarfed by Titanic nowadays)

this also means riot has time to not just improve bruiser items but also BRUISERS themselves

Nasus for instance really needs some sort of QoL rework to Q so his ability to win games is not based on his ability to basically farm simulator (I also think perma-wither is pretty bullshit gameplay along with his passive after a certain amount of tankiness you literally cant punish him anymore ) Garen Who suffers from that abomination of a Villain passive. Skarner Glory and Predator gave him a resurgence but I still think his kit is a nonsensical abomination of hybrid damage and ratios everywhere Mordekaiser VGU WHEN? JarvanIV Also in need of at least a VU and slight modernization. W and E should feel cooler imo and Cataclysm should have its ante upped animation wise. Really dislike how she lives and dies by her ability to land ONE ability. She should really be more dynamic than that. I love Vi but I hate how anything other than full damage feels so worthless. Hecarim just give E a Movement speed ratio and give him a new passive. Maybe look into creating a more dynamic ult too.compared to Kled ult this ultimate just kinda falls flat nowadays. really put that dread back into the spirit of dread. Jax needs a new ultimate and innate passive imo. Ball of stats is not very interesting but the champion is still really satisfying despite that. Champ is kinda stat-checky sometimes when ahead and his base damages are insane.

It's simple, you want too much! When ADC(RIP) carries the game it's actually never just ADC, it's atleast always a support but mostly some sort of frontline aswell. Even when ADCs were at their strongest in Ardent meta... guess what it's a support item on enhancer supports, not ADCs, who were in top winrates all over place, not ADCs. Basically it's an effort of atleast 2-3 people, that carries the team, BUT Toplaners like so much to attribute it to ADCs because they are the one who do damage and get kills. There is almost never an ADC that solo carries unless he is some sort of smurf on Twitch jungle or similar. You however want to carry solo on Toplaners, you want to be that Irelia who 1v9. You see botlane wins game when they go 5/0, so why shouldn't you win when you go 5/0 as Topaner?... you ask yourself. Because you are 20% of the team and they are 40% or even 60%, if with jungler or mid. So there you have your problem, you either pick a Tank and be an asset to your botlane depending on them or you pick Carry-Top and be useless, since the game isn't designed about you carrying solo ever. That's a conceptional problem of the game design itself. Carry-Toplaners just don't fit into paradigm of this game, atleast in SoloQ, in pro-play there can be coordinated splittpush and similar tactics that give Carry-Toplaners a place to exist however. So the only "solution" Riot has it so keep Carry-Toplaners on the Edge of being OP, like Irelia where they can snowball into 1v9, BUT being on the edge means any so slightly change in meta or items will get you back into uselessness and need to be completely rebalanced OR they don't give a damn about you and let them be bad for sake of stability, that was the approach in this season. But hey, good news to you, they made ADC changes and now you have Bruisers in botlane, it's your time, just for a while... enjoy the moment.
