"We don't like ball of stats" - Riot Games

Yasuo We're gonna make it so that he can statistically crit twice as often as anyone else with the SAME EXACT BUILD, but it's ok, cause his crits are only going to do 90%, and not 100% extra damage. Until he gets an IE that is! Best part is, building ASPD lowers the CD of your auto reset which can also critically strike. We did this since we know how much you guys love auto attacking. Now you can auto while you auto, so that you can crit while your critting! Oh, I also forgot to tell you that you can say goodbye to half of that pesky bonus armor your enemies are getting from masteries, runes, and items after you ult! Now those big ol' nasty tanks (top kek, when the last time you seen a tank?) won't be able to rain on your parade

Gnar We're gonna give this adorable little guy a shit ton of free stats and CC upon transformation, but it's ok, cause he can't control it, and while in mini form he has just about the same as everyone else, but gets to kite melees as hard as Olaf permaslowing someone he is chasing, while doing % max health magic damage. Hope you guys built MR against this fur ball that is building AD.

RekSai We're gonna give her Physical, Magic, AND true damage. But it's ok, she can only hit you with true damage at full fury, but to seperate the good from the greats, we are gonna also give her AoE on her autos for 5 seconds after pressing Q, while the CD on it is only 4. This way the good Rek'Sai use that extra fury to heal themselves, while the greats nuke you with True Damage! Did I forget to mention the 40% free ASPD she gets at level 6? This way generating fury without building CDR to skill spam, or ASPD to auto quickly won't matter!

Cassiopeia Aight so boom. Due to how unsatisfying it was for you guys to use her, we give her a shit ton of free stats in her passive. Now you get free CDR, and a shit ton of free AP. Now you don't have to waste money buying CDR, and you can easily hit over 1k AP! We also made it so that she gets to drain tank and win all of her fights if you bought WotA cause now you can drain tank almost like an ADC! Don't forget that your DoTs become even more powerful by up to 40% just by hitting someone with E twice! This'll separate the good Cass's from the greats. Also for all you non math savvy types out there, DCap passive, masteries, and Cass's innate multiplicatively stack, and boost your AP by a whopping 77.45%! This is Phreak approved as you'll be doing tons of damage!

Think you left out the biggest culprit;

The reworked Cass

Literally based on a huge ball of stats passive with garbage base and scaling. Gotta get that huge AP count!

I don't think you entirely understand what ball of stats means

when riot refers to "ball of stats" champions, they mean champions like irelia or darius where you simply walk up, press all your buttons, then either you win or you lose.

Yasuo has flow, tornado charges, E per-target cooldowns, situational ult, all to manage.

OK megagnar is very much a ball of stats type champion I'll give you that, I'm unsure about minignar mainly because he's extremely squishy and has no ult.

as for rek'sai, I can't say conclusively either way because I have hardly played against her and never as her.

Why do ranged champions get range and not melee champs

500-600 range of free stats

nerf pls

It is a bit unknown but mini gnar gets one of the highest AS scaling in the game, 108% attack speed at 18. Putting him at 1.3 base by 18

Next highest is at 1.1

Oh god I didn't realize that so many people have no clue what Riot meant by "ball of stats". The level of ignorance in this thread is off the charts.

We don't like balls of stats

btw make sure you spend 15000 ip for a full rune page for your ball of stats before playing ranked

Actually, it's the total damage that gets reduced, not the crit damage. So, where a normal champ crits for 200%, he gets 180%. Infinity Edge gets him to 225%, not 250%. When dealing with his Q, it's reduced 25%, meaning his Q crits for 150% (187.5% with IE) damage.

And have you looked at almost every other offensive melee in existence, and noticed that they also have steroids? Riven gets 20% of her total AD in bonus AD, which is the basis for the scaling of everything in her kit. Master Yi gets 10% of his total AD passively, and can deal an additional 20% of his total AD in True Damage, and has an extendable 10-second AS steroid. Tryndamere passively gets up to 35% Crit Chance and 25-60 bonus AD. Fiora gets a +120% AS steroid, +35 bonus AD passively, and has a pretty powerful ultimate. Zed gets 25% of his bonus AD in bonus AD.

You're going to have to do much better than simply saying, "He has this one steroid that does something different from other melees' steroids!"

If it's an old ball of stats, it can never be good (Gangplank Olaf Tryndamere )

If its new though, it needs a stat boost on nearly every ability (Gnar Yasuo Cassiopeia ) Cassiopeia has the largest stat boost in game as her passive and probably the most overloaded ability with her E

Joe Dredd12/31/2014, 6:11:49 PM6 votes

Except Yasuo's base stats are terrible.

If you think Yasuo doesn't need the double crit, go ahead and build him anything without crit. He will not work granted.

"Ball of stats" doesn't mean what you think it means. Think Udyr/Shyvana/Lee Sin. None of the above fit the term.

Grand Eleven12/31/2014, 4:50:39 PM3 votes

Cassiopeia You found me not to be a ball of stats ... once.

ImHerVoice12/31/2014, 4:27:26 PM2 votes

if any melee had yasuo's passive they'd be broken as shit too. Imagine gangplank with that passive and his slow. Imagine anyone with a Q that procs crit+a crit multipling passive. its just broken. Its so gold efficent and is just another example of how riot is, yet again, not ready to balance crit.
