one small step...one giant leap

Athena's Grail has recieved a major and well needed buff. Sounds like a pretty decent time for overall game balance. Mages will receive the manas they need. Tanks are suddenly viable again thanks to cinder hulk. ADC has just always been important. All we need is for assassins to have some tweaks. And for bruisers to find a foot hold in the new meta.

Riot balance team might make some shoddy calls but overall they have been doing an amazing job as of late.

Still waiting for them to fix Veigar , preferably by changing his W so it doesn't require hard CC to land. Other than Veigar and Kassadin being wrecked recently, I'm also a fan of some of the latest changes. I just hope Riot doesn't wreck Cinderhulk and send us back into the hell that is a jungle that only LeeSin , , and JarvanIV thrive in.

Cinderhulk is getting a nerf pretty soon but its honestly needed. I'm glad to see tanks viable for once but right now most of them are pretty strong. I just hope they dont go to hard with the nerf hammer

I'd prefer to see the item left alone. The main champions that will be/are problematic because of Cinderhulk are Sejuani and Amumu, and Riot's already taken steps to nerf Sej.

If they hit Cinderhulk too hard, it'll end up like the Devourer enchantment: it'll synergize well with certain champions, but those champions and the item will go unused because of better options being available.

I was reading about this. Somebody raised concern about this very same thing with sej getting nerfed and then cinder is about to get nerfed as well. A rioter replied explaining that they had that in mind which is why they kept her needs small. And that after the nerf they would readjust her #'s accordingly.

So while I'm with you on not wanting to see tanks become weak again I do have to acknowledge their strength right now. And riot seems to be handling that pretty well at the moment.

I don't see why people are complimenting them. They completely wrecked the game at the start of this season. All they're doing now is trying to fix what they broke, and it's not even as good as it was before.

You might have a valid point about them kind of being counter productive at the start of the season but ask yourself. When was the last time tanks as a class were viable? And their "buff barges" have been great. We need to see more of that, buffing the underpowered champs while love tapping the overpowered champs back into line.

If this keeps up we might reach a all time high for champion viability
