Riot Not liking snowballers

Mejai's and Occult aren't even relevant to the discussion.

LoL is naturally a snowball game: you can't lose gold, champion abilities scale with items, and so on.

Kat and Akali have reset mechanics that make them really really broken as snowballers.

Kats reset mechanic is the only thing really left in the game I'd call an out of control snowball.

The reason? Everything she does is instant, if she starts to snowball you're dead before you can finish a casting animation.

As for getting rid of the snowball items, well, it'd make low level games a little easier on newbs without people having access to them at least.

Riot is okay with people snowballing, they just don't like a match determined by which mid lane assassin gets the first kill. =/

As for Mejai's and Occult, well if your opponent wastes the money on those items, either they are smurfing and the item is just cheese, or they are stupid and about to feed hard. The items aren't really viable, on anyone, ever.

we need to remove resets.

There's no reason why Katarina should be rewarded as much as she is right now.

It takes way more effort for you to counter her than for her to be effective.

Mejais and Occult can't really be considered snowball items because even fully stacked, their marginal value is still worse than most 3rd tier items for mages and marksmen. They're not win-more items so much as buying them causes you to lose and killing people with them causes you to lose-less.

Removing these items would be unnecessary. Kat and Akali don't even need these items to go their snowballing rampages once they get fed because they have built-in resets which allow them to begin their murder sprees.

mejai and occult the best :D

Every season has had snowball, the game's design is kind of built on it. The issue is when specific champs are way too good at it.

if anything, i think they should bring back leviathan ; ;

No bring back Leviathan.
