Fighter balance

lojician·Jul 20, 2014·2 votes·642 views

Your balance history over the past four month is such a joke that people literally can't tell if you're just trolling people who like fighters at this point.

You should have seen the incoming cancer meta coming from the moment you nerfed doran's shield instead of not even admitting it was a problem until a patch ago.

It's obvious the people putting out patches don't have the most rudimentary understanding of top lane.

If you showed any designer your last two reworks they would assume you were intentionally releasing anti melee champions. The fact that you proceeded to buff nidalee and your current idea on balancing lucian is "let people slow him" is kind of mind boggling.

Whichever blatant liars told us that they would be "keeping a close eye" on fighters after they gutted randuin's and doran's blade at a time aps were already more common top in competitive than fighters needs to be fired.

That is all.

You're not bringing up and good argument points or even referencing exact changes that show ineptitude or negligence on the design teams side. You're just berating them on things you're probably misunderstanding or haven't full thought out.

Points:

Over the past 4 months they have repeatedly dumped on fighters with 0 compensation apart from a j4 and malphite buff.

The doran's shield nerf should have been a blatant shining beacon telling them ranged cancer was coming back since introducing it was the only way they got ranged cancer to go away in the first place. The fact that they haven't made a single attempt to test compensation this entire time while the cancer meta was becoming increasingly obvious is a blatant demonstration that they don't understand or don't care about top lane.

The claimed they were buffing fighters to a 'renekton bar'. They lied.

They claimed they would keep an eye on fighters after nerfing randuins and doran's blade at a time we already had a double ap meta. They lied.

They constantly release champions with anti melee kits and don't seem to notice or care. They thought the lucian change was going to be a significant nerf because who could ever imagine ranged ads with kassadin level mobility facerolling top lane?

I apparently have a better understanding of top lane than they do because I said this was going to happen 4 months ago.
