Rise and Fall of Damage Creep

Frosted Tips··2 votes·1,287 views

I feel like everyone glosses over the timeline of damage creep. Damage creep first became a problem because marksmen were killing squishies with 1-2 aa, then mages were 1 comboing squishies without poking them down, the fighters were 1 comboingsquishies without trading first to lower their health, so then assassins were buffed up so they could 1 shot those marksmen. Now that Riot is trying to lower marksmen upfront damage and the rework to item 3031 people are complaining about assassins insta killing. Right now we are on the down curve of damage, but Riot did it wrong instead of nerfing assassin and marksmen damage at the same time they only lowered marksmen so then assassins roamed free. What needs to happen is that assassin, fighters, mages and marksmen all need their overall damage lowered and to do it closely together time wise.

What they need to stop is "compensation buffs" bullshit, if you nerf something, it means that thing needed a nerf, not a compensation somewhere else that won't change anything

Yes sometimes they give compensation buffs stupidly, but other times a champion that is just barely surviving because of a OP rune or item and if that rune or item gets nerfed because of its abusers then the champion that was just surviving should get compensation biffs.

Some marksmen have seen the damage lowered... some

We still see the likes of draven jhin and mf 2 shotting people. If they nerf crit lethality has to be nerfed along side it.

It is amusing that you somehow think that damage creep is heading downward when they mentioned that vayne is in line for buffs. If damage creep was getting reveresed the 3 i mentioned would be getting nerfed.

The vayne buffs she received early last season were a major contributor to the damage creep problem and the complete shut down of bruisers in toplane lane. Rather than revert the buffs she got they decided to buff cait and draven which lead to the rework of thornmail which fucked bruisers.

Agreed, that was all apart of it and those champions should be nerfed.
