Riots recent philosophy
Over the last few years riot has been pushing more and more into moving away from difficult champions in favor of giving them consistent playstyles that deprive both fun and skill expression
changed into higher damage with less need to have hours sunk in to understand his kit
Turned from a multiple combo based on circumstances champ to a 1 combo to either burst them down with or feed because of
and most recently
trying to make his W into a "bursty" ability
plus
has a little bit of everything so that shes even SOMEHOW noob friendly based on literally being able to pick half the items in the game and still succeed
can just buy 1 item
and then 1v2 botlane with true damage jukes and cc to peel for herself
even riot cant fix this as proven by YET ANOTHER change
Despite her q being hard to land the fact that she is literally almost immortal in lane is disgusting and can be played very hands off
has a huge heal so if you mess up somehow you can survive and do more damage
can now hook you from farther making it harder to get away from him and to even stay a safe distance away because Hexflash and his W
Can now use his Q on champions which though a healthy change for Nunu's kit means he can do MORE DAMAGE because AP is so strong
Living proof that AP is SO STRONG
and lets not forget about AP Darius and his KILL THEM ALL OR FEED rather than his quirky but beloved by his OG mains old kit
Even
has changes on the PBE that make his damage happen sooner on his ult, which though the fear being harder to dodge is a good thing AOE DAMAGE + A FEAR procing after his clone dies INSTANTLY let that sink in
Soon even
and
will be given god level op abilities and dropped into the floor immediately afterwards because RITO loves messing up things the mains of the champions never asked for
In conclusion rather than try to find a healthy medium Riot would rather change things no one asked them to
, strip a champion of everything that made them unique to streamline their kit
, make champs so overloaded even a noob can carry on them
, or infinitely wage war against one champions kit rather than admit though it looks good the new kit is too hard to balance and was a failure on our part
.
So what does everyone else think about the state of things?
