Nerf Heal, Nerf Teleport, Buff Ignite

I've said a lot of sane things. Like nerf supports instead of junglers because a champion shouldn't be 80% as effective as a normal champion on under half their budget, because that means you can get someone else to like 150% gold income, which of course makes them broken.

something SANE

Shame they don't do "sane" at Riot when it comes to balancing the game.

Edit: Why the f is a month-old post near the top of recent?

possibly, but at that point maybe unnerf heal?

There's nothing diverse when in competitive games you actually had 7 teleports present. The only people that didn't take tp one game were the two junglers and Tahm Kench who basically has tp anyway. Is it an edge case? Sure, but if you weren't funneling, chances are you were running 3 teleports, smite, and ignite.

This is because flash is a very common and useful spell. It's an amazing engage, disengage, and escape that gives no warning whatsoever unless you can predict it. It can be used for plenty of dukes and etc.

Yup. That's why everyone takes it

Plenty of dukes? I hope it can be used for earls and viscounts as well.

Which in itself is hypocrisy. Riot can't make changes for diversity sake but balance the game around ONE summoner spell.

Or they could remove summs and just balance the champs around other champs. Hell, remove runes while we're at it. (I'm not even being sarcastic).

They could really try that at this stage. It's not like summoner's and runes/masteries haven't both been a consistent balance nightmare in all of League's life anyway.

Why dowvnoted? You are preaching gods words. Also make all champions free and rename the game to Dota 2 or something (just throwing around random ideas)

How would it be destroyed? Dota 2 doesent have summoners nor runes and they are doing fine.

Because League has been developed and balanced around the idea of having those things for the last 8 years and more, thus changing it would require a massive overhaul to the game as well as having to be done over a long transition period. Such an ambitious and large scale shift can be fatal to the game, especially given the game lives off active players, who probably isn't going to be happy to put up with at least a good year or so of utter chaos (even more so than the game already is, btw) to remake at least certain aspects in the kits of a good portion of the roster and rebalance the entire game.

It CAN be done. Not saying it's not do-able, but the trade-off is that to go from the current state of the game to the other one, is going to be a gigantic gamble on whether or not the players would just stop playing there and then when facing such a big and fundamental change to the game, and the game is just pronounced dead.

That's the very real risk Riot is going to be taking if they were to take that option. But then again, I don't personally see any other option of fixing summoner's and rune/mastery related balance issues permanently without simply deleting them from the game, either.

Hell, given Riot just made marksmen not as mandatory as before, and now people are QQ'ing for that for whatever reason. We don't know if Riot is scared shitless when facing any idea of changing the game up now. Hopefully they aren't.

Oh well.

bans flash

To be fair, has always been the meta summoner's combination for Shaco since the dawn of time, due to the fact he doesn't need to have due to his Q.

I am aware, that was not the point of the post
