very interesting indeed extremely interesting as you claimed that we should not powercreep the game, LUL

i have to say i admire this logic pointed, if we buff too much champions would end up ignoring towers, and minions of course and

well guess what, EVERYONE IGNORES TOWERS now, everyone has a nuke bomb on them, and this makes shielding champions incredibly stupid and too strong, damage has become too high.

Melees cannot move anymore, immobile melees are overwhelmed by mobility, and again cc

but there ain't power creep right? this is why: -Darius has become totally garbage due to everyone becoming overpowered -Ivern is being buffed while having 50% win rate, because other shielding champions are better -Spellthief edge is considered for a buff becuause coin is broken (that one made me chuckle) -Ekko fizz zed are being band aided instead of properly nerfing mages/adcs, you're legit trying to buff zed instead of fixing this botlane meta that makes zed's gameplay inexistent -same with leona, buffing a 50% win rate champion because they can't compet with ardent, and give ardent -10% as/damage instead of a real nerf. You're trying to make every supports broken

you do what morello feared to do for the game, you actually managed to powercreep the game so hard after all those years

and instead of fixing botlane, fixing bruisers not moving, we're releasing new runes, all powercreeping the game even more (channeled flash to bandaid lack of initiation on melees)

It's fun how for a whole season they've done exactly what Meddler wanted to avoid back in 2014.

Especially with the last "pro play buffs", they literally just buffed champion because "they could be a bit stronger vs their op counterpart" instead of nerfing the said above counterpart.

I'm still laughing at those Ivern/Ekko/Zed buffs. Even though they're small buffs, they could just nerf those champions that kicked them out of meta/viability because they're op instead of giving random buffs and make even more borderline OP champions.

Let's break down this utter fucking nonsense.

"Everyone ignores towers" No they don't. I dare you to take a tower on your own, without minions. Please, be my fucking guest. Unless you're playing 100000000000000 stack Nasus, you can't. People are getting better at playing around towers, but nobody is just ignoring towers completely.

"Everyone has a nuke bomb" I don't know what the fuck a nuke bomb is, I guess Zilean has one, but the current meta of high DPS is not really applicable.

"Darius is garbage" He's really not (his all-important win rate is pretty much 50%), and even if he was, one champion being bad doesn't make the game broken.

Ivern/Assassin/Leona buffs- All of these are for Worlds. Get your motherfucking "LC$" comments in (even though Riot makes fairly little money out of esports right now), but these are small changes for champions to get higher variety at Worlds. Larger changes come through in the preseason. I think this patch is the one Worlds will be played on, so expect larger changes after that. It doesn't matter though, because when preseason is announced it's gonna be the end of the fucking world anyway.

Spellthief- This would actually be an example of power creep, if it was actually power-creeping the entire game. This is support power creep, which has been happening for years. Sightstone made supports not just ward-slaves. Support items made supports actually useful at what they do. Coin made supports actually able to afford items at a decent rate (at the loss of early combat stats). Supports having gold is a good thing, having to play a role that does jack shit all game and can never afford items feels bad.

I had a game it was 23 minutes in and I was Amumu with roughly 140 armor and 3200 HP. We were sieging mid inhibitor tower and I told my team not to dive but to play safe. Then the tower took a shot at me for 83 damage so I realized I was still living in the past and we continued the siege. We did not only take mid inhibitor but also both Nexus towers and finished the game. I tanked all turret shots maybe a couple of 30 and we had a teamfight were we killed 4 people. Between Lulu's shield and my hp regen I was still around 1000 hp when we finished the game.

Even though I won it felt really unsatisfying. My build looked like this: item 3001 item 3075 item 3047 item 1409 so I wasn't even full build

Yesterday I got dived by Lucian(fucking LCS) and Rammus at mid at around level 4. The definition of a forced gank.

Imagine my surprise when Rammus tanked like 5 turret shots, Lucian killed me in the meantime and Rammus flashed away surviving the whole thing.

Meddler along with Ghostcrawler have ruined the game in many aspects. It's still somewhat playable, but not for long if these two are allowed to continue.

Enchanters were appearently too weak so they added +%Heal/Shield power to items without taking anything away from those items. Now shield stacking is a problem. They'll do something stupid instead of nerfing the main issue of the percent increase stat.

Meanwhile Stoneplate is so much stats for such a low cost item. Anyone who says there's been no powercreep that has pushed assassins and bruisers out of viability can go look at Stoneplate and then attempt to argue, and I haven't even fucking mentioned the insanity of a 900 gold item call Bramble Vest, nor should I have to.

Oh, but while everyone else gets powercreeped with a class update: Sorry, there is no bruiser class update. There's also 0 information stating whether bruisers will get new items (like every class did when they got an update).

Let's not forget that Master Yi's gets outclassed further and further into irrelevance with every new champion that comes out

Wow, ideals stated 3 years ago. Certainly things can't change, that would be ridiculous.

In full honesty, you do have some points, but holding people to something said 3 years ago is a bit out there.
