this is the worst patch i can ever remember
you have to use all 6 bans on champs that came out this patch so its basically last patch but without bans....

Honestly I don't know which I hate worse, the current patch or league of cleavers patch.....Jesus Christ it's like choosing where you want cancer at.

League of Cleavers was way worse... Fucking 6 BCs Pantheon destroying your armor with 1 E... Jesus fucking hell
We can't forget League of Warmogs.

Or the league of cleavers, never forget.
You know you loved Talon insta-fucking 2-3 people on your team at once.
Good sweet baby jesus. I love Talon, but that patch was absurd. 57% or so win-rate, and Cleaver had an average of about 1.50 purchases per game on him. Only reason he was more notable than Pantheon is because he did it instanly, as opposed to over the duration of a heartseeker strike + spear toss.

as crazy as that sounds, skarner was 65% WR before the massive bans.
Did you know: 6 champions came out this patch, and you have to ban all of them.
The more you know.
Wait til season 6. It's going to get even worse.
Shh, I have high hopes for that season. Maybe they'll just revert everything they've done this season and reset us to 4.20 but with the new champions.
except without kalista ekko and like every other champion released since then?
they were both nerfed to the ground, so...

Except that both ESPECIALLY Ekko are still viable.
Except they were nerfed into the ground...

I know that tank jg ekko is a thing- it's just a really shitty thing that Riot (and I) would rather not be happening. It's less "Ekko is viable" and more "Ekko is so unviable as an assassin that we have to build him tank". Kalista needs a couple nerfs to her passive reverted. Ekko would be OP if we completely reverted his nerfs, but buffing his passive a bit more would help a lot.

I don't really see the problem with Kalista's stats. Yeah they would be terrible for almost anyone else but she was actively designed to be shit unless you were in a call with your support, and that just doesn't happen in solo queue. She should always have poor stats in regular games - when she has decent stats that's when you know she's broken.
It wasn't that Ekko was unviable as an assassin so they HAD to build him as a tank, it's that Ekko could be built as a tank AND have relevant damage to eliminate priority targets.
Kalista is still one of the best ADCs and champions in the game (I wouldn't say best because Vayne) and is nearly pick or ban in the LCS last time I checked? Almost no fall offs and she doesn't offer a ton of counterplay besides a team composed of 5 Annies.
And Ekko is still extremely overloaded and can do anything but ADC (The few times I've seen Ekko Support I regretted playing the game), he has more in his kit than even Thresh and that's saying a lot.
See my comment above ;)

That would be awesome.

latest games iv played mostly looked something like this
replace gangplank with morde - after two nerfs in a row gangplank is strong but not op
Morde was already on there, but the thing is, he's talking about mid Gold games. I don't really see this very much from Plat+ players, which tells me it's more a l2p issue. Anyone with a ranged stun/snare (not just slow) can cause serious issues for all of these guys except maybe GP.
As much as I disagree with so much of the Jugg QQ lately, I do think their damage is a bit nuts for how tanky they really are, and they suffer from "Evelynn Syndrome"--skill checks the entire enemy team by simply selecting the champion, before anything in the game even happens. In Evelynn's case, it's whether or not they can ward properly and watch map, since she's immune to green wards. With Juggs, it's a question of whether the team will properly peel them and use teamwork--even if the person who is playing that Jugg isn't getting that from his own team. It's very double-standard_ish_.
Heh, you keep saying it's a "skill check" and "not a problem in plat+" well, Morde is around 62% winrate in plat+ as an ADC, with Darius, Garen, and Skarner all close behind, about 55% winrate.
Yes it's a problem in plat+ too.
Yeah, you may want to get some facts before posting statistics. I just checked Solo and 5v5 for Overall and Plat specifically--none of what you said is true at all, which doesn't surprise me because I haven't seen anything like that from high elo streams or even LCS games either. It really is a low elo problem, which would be a legitimate point to argue from, but that's not how you are trying to approach it.
They are seeing more bans, but that just means people don't want to play against it, not that they are actually OP. I would ban Blitz for a similar reason: He's just annoying and takes no skill, but it's not as if he's OP.
Also, it seems you don't understand the term "skill check," so I can see why you want to argue against it. It's derived from D&D terminology. When you perform a skill check, you roll a d20 + your skill against the DC (difficulty class) of whatever you are attempting to do. In the case of Evelynn, you are forcing the enemy team to roll their "warding skill" against her passive, and the DC is much higher than any other champion because there is never a time when a green ward can detect her without something else nearby that can (like a pink or a player). Similarly, Juggernaughts apply a skill check against the enemy team's "peeling/positioning skill" much more heavily than something that tanky ought to. Usually this kind of check is reserved for assassins, who are squishy and easy to CC & focus down, which is why it feels so unfair to people--Juggs feel like tanky assassins.
That's pretty much all games I've played today and yesterday barring a few (wtf was teamcaptain thinking?)
I feel like this is said almost every patch lmao.
Yea I am pretty annoyed because I don't really like to play the 6 must-bans, but if you don't pick them and they're left up you get bitched at, and enemy picks them up... and you have the most unfun game experience possible playing against them. A big one that currently pisses me off is that we have to wait till next patch for the Garen nerf where if you kill him first blood you become the villian... and then he ults you at half your health and you die. How is this not worth hotfixing?
are you high? Do you not remember league of cleavers?
Aren't we still in league of cleavers? I swear I see at least 3 on every toplane.
Yeah if they give the juggernauts + fiora another slight nerf and don't overkill nerf lux I'll be happy though.
Just wait. We can't expect anything decent until after worlds is over.
With other words I should just quit the game until after worlds? :,<

Revert Sion's shield nerf please.
