Why is there a need for everything to get compensation buffs when nerfed? (Ardent Censer)
Ardent Censer is losing it's healing, but gaining 10-15% more attack speed, +10-15 onhit damage, AND now applies the buff to yourself if you heal/shield your ally.
Why make this change? it's going to be just as overpowered. Riot seems to have a need to compensate every time something is nerfed. Bramble Vest broken as fuck? +300 cost, but also +5 Armor. Still going to be broken as fuck and make bruisers suck, but hey at least you auto lose at 1200 gold rather than 900.
So instead of doing their job of balance, they're just making random changes to make it seem like they're doing their job and taking up space on the Patch Notes, so they don't look empty, so it appears they're doing their job. Reality is that they aren't.
But then again, you have to remember: Riot is perfectly fine and content with the current meta. I am not joking. No one should be laughing. We should be scared shitless that a company has no fucking clue on how to even balance the game fundamentally.
cough)? yes! and they will get addressed in due time
with that huge damage boost
is what made the item OP and the main reason why people are always abusing it. If that was removed then the item would become weak (just rem how little the item was used back before the healing was added to the item). There is a difference between nerfing an item down a little, and basically gutting it by removing the main reason why it's bought. They are removing the OP part of the item and amplifying the item in another aspect to make the item have a niche.
