@Riot: Please match base damage to scaling.

I'm thinking it would be healthier for the game if Riot made a correlation between bases and scaling on abilities.

If base is too high but scaling is too low then we have no reason to build AD/AP and instead go pure damage soak. coughTank Sorakacough

If bases are too low but the scaling is ridiculous then a champion becomes unstoppable if they gain a gold advantage. coughThe old bonus AD Garencough

Example: Fiddlestick's Drain deals 180 (+ 45% AP) and his Crowstorm deals 325 (+ 45% AP)

Talking about just AP for now, I would propose that 500 AP is used as a benchmark to double the power of a champion's skill. Fiddlesticks would instead deal something like 200 (+40% AP) on his Drain and and 300 (+60% AP) on his Crowstorm.

What do you guys think? Rather than Riot cutting just a ratio or just the base, they could instead slightly lower both of them proportionally during balance patches.

Tank Soraka is trash though, but if she somehow isn't, then sure, nerf her bases and buff her ratios. Not that her ratios are bad at all.

I'm talking about from before they reworked her. People would grab Frozen Heart and Spirit Visage then just spam Starcall to be really annoying and hard to kill.
