How about instead of adding more champions you balance the ones that are in the game

And no, that doesn't mean buffing Garen to the point where he melts your HP bar with one ability, or buffing Fiora to the point where she melts your turret with her abilities.

I genuinely just can't be bothered learning the abilities of new champions, and I feel like I speak for a number of people out there when I say that. Instead of adding a magical cat that sticks to an ally and gets free LP, fix the joke of a champion known as Kai'sa who goes invisible and melts everyone on your team with a couple of abilities while also being able to have 3 extremely viable build paths which are all pretty much impossible to play against.

How about you fix some of the hitboxes in the game, such as Diana's Q, Morgana's snare, or Nautilus's hook, or pretty much any hook in the game. How about you fix this disgusting rune known as Kleptomancy which makes it impossible for melee champions to lane against ranged ones because they get free gold and items just for attacking them. How about you fix arcane comet, summon aery, electrocute, dark harvest etc which just give you 'more damage' for no reason and cut the skill cap of most champions in half.

Please Riot. I really do love your game, but it's become embarrassing to even say I play this game. Just stop adding new champions every 2 months and fix what's currently in the game.

Free LP? The champion that has near a 40% winrate and requires whoever you attach to, to actually know what they are doing? I don't think that's the champion you want to be playing as if you want "free LP"

What do you mean?? Stop saying blasphemies, Riot needs to release champs all year round instead of fixing damage on the existing ones and create more skins for Kai'sa and Lux. Balance? Fck that, who needs proper gameplay?

I know you're being ironic, but it's sad that this really is how Riot makes their design choices. Enough Riot interviews confirmed it.

I am as sad as you. But there are many players who love Mah Assassin Meta.

You know what? You're actually right. What even am I thinking? It's been like 2 whole months since Kai'sa last received a skin! It's an outrage!

They’ve released only 3 champions this year, with only one more on the way.

And what does the skins team have to do with the balance team? They’re different departments.

One department clearly is pushed to get goals more than the other,

Not really, just a shitty easily disproven meme, but go off.

How's this a meme?

Hi im 125 votes

I'd imagine new champion skins sell a lot better than old champion skins so ...

Anu3isII3 votes

Depends on the champ, rlly. Ahri Ezreal Riven to name a few.

Hi im 122 votes

I'm still pretty sure new champion skins sell better, when you already have skins for your champion you're less likely to buy new ones compared to a champion you don't have any on.

Been playing since 2010 and I'm glad the oldies still get played here on the forums. :)

Even if Riot took 2 years off just to balance the current state it would not be balanced perfectly. There are too many variables between champs, items, and runes. So they balance the outliers, monitor and nudge the game in the direction they think is best, and adjust as new stuff is added.

Remove runes, and its only 3 plus outliers huzaaah. but yea your right. But we all know runes was a terrible idea. at least unanimous runes for everyone. Champion specific runes would be cool tho. Like yasuos windwall has 2 charges but only last 1 second. or Fioras q is now targeted but has 300 more range. Or Zeds has a one that makes him unable to go to his w shadow but it has 2 charges on a base cd of 15 seconds.[slayer-pantheon-rainbows]

They have made the game impossible to balance with all of these champs, runes reforged, and new items. They don't know what they are doing.

also Riot should stop their garage balance in ARAM.

Look at Akali - dealing 118% damage and taking 88% damage.. Are you serious?

Jaspers3 votes

And she still loses most the time, because as an assassin her gameplay isn't design for ARAM, you can't fix that by adding damage. Meanwhile 45% winrate Poppy and Braum? Nah, they are good apparently, 45% winrate is fine. Can't have tanks being tanky. :P

Eonslegacy1 votes

But its still funny to see that 3k damage apear.

Eonslegacy1 votes

critical akali is so busted in aram, throw shrouds out non stop, and crit the unlucky foe that comes in for over 3x ad. :D

It's really weird how this post gets so many upvotes when it makes 0 sense. Riot Balance team and Champion Design team are two separate departments. If you fire the people who make champions that doesn't mean the game suddenly becomes balanced.

datfatguy3 votes

Please quote where in the thread it says I want the entire balance team fired? I can't seem to find it.

Sunbreaker1 votes

If Riot stops making new champions like you want them to, a lot of people will be fired.

Eonslegacy1 votes

Maybe, see, this is the main problem, how can i make a champion fun and unique, then asks someone else to balance the numbers. Feels like they should both be on the same team.

td;dr: OP doesn't realize that two different departments are different departments, doesn't know that Yuumi is statistically terrible right now, and is ranting about damage.

As a business that makes way less money.

Tbf I think Pyke's hook (although I hate the champ) has a fairly good hitbox, and Dark Harvest and Comet both feel fine.

Nobody even uses harvest to begin with outside of Karthus. Would do fine being removed.

haha good joke.

This is a probably with many games, sadly

Snowplosion1 votes

They release maybe four champions a year at this point. Very little of what they do currently is actually focuses on making new champions.

datfatguy1 votes

Don't forget that there are around 150 champions in the game. Adding more is just going to make the game more difficult to understand for everybody, not just newbies
