State of Toplane | Winrate of GP | Bruisers without Keystone
Hey guys and gurls, hi Rito Balancing Team.
(btw. summary @ bottom)
As we all know toplane in its current shape is shattered. Whole Season 7 was dominated by bruisers and poke heavy Champs like Pantheon and Jayce. Sure we had the OP tanks aka Maokai, Chogath and Galio.
Now we had 2-3 Patches a Klepto dominated lane with GP, Nasus, Illaoi @ top and Ezreal bot.
AS a GP main since early S7 im really really disappointed with the current toplane state. His state was really healthy until a few weeks ago. He had a ~49-51% winrate for several months until ur balancing team decided to introduce RNG Klepto (which is hell on all lanes) AND to remove his counters - the bruiser.
Without a good keystone for bruisers decent GP players can now beat them , which wasnt possible as often. All his "bad" matchups are either gone or decreased hard in winrate, because the new runes are bad for them (Irelia, Riven, Trynd, Renekton, etc)
When i see now that u are thinking about GP nerfs in the future, i get really angry. ** Its not GP who is OP His Counters are WEAK**
It all comes together.
- GP was decent 50% winrate
- Bruisers went shit, cause no keystone: slight winrate increase vs bruisers
- Klepto : Winrate increase
- PPL playing tanks, because bruisers are shit: Even more winrate increase + free Klepto abuse.
PLS for the sake of toplane: Introduce the new bruiser keystone, so toplane isnt all about tanks and tankabuse. Dont nerf champions, just because u gutted their counters hard. My fear: Nerf Bruiser -->Nerf GP ---> bruisers get new keystone --> forget GP with a <47% winrate
thx for anyone who read the whole thing.
