Day 93: Fid still ulting after landing Mark with zero risk. Bottom 15 champions have gap closers.

Are we still pretending Mark was a good thing? Are we still pretending lack of engage is a problem? Riot, I'm tired of your "we already released it so too bad" attitude toward these kinds of things. Not one Rioter is even coming forth to talk about this, let alone do anything about it. Most player focused company in the world my ass.

Are you seriously going to bury your head in the sand and call this one a job well done? It been 1/4th of a year of consistent data saying that Mark is making ARAM balance worse. The kind of bullshit moves people can make with Mark is infuriating, and yet you insist that it feels good. Are we looking at the same data? Are you playing the same game I am? It sure as hell doesn't feel good for a tank to engage from 1600 units away with virtually nothing you can do about it.

But no, let's listen to all the people that say it's fun to dash around the map suicidally. Let's ignore actual balance for novelty that's lost its novelty. Let's keep allowing tanks to engage so easily and safely that a brain-dead snail could land a 5 man Amumu ult. Let's continue to ignore ARAM players' feedback. After all you clearly know better than us since Akali's win rate has skyrocketed now that she can dash a 4th time.

From the patch notes:

One of our takeaways from Legend of the Poro King was that there are a ton of champions who could actually be pretty healthy on Howling Abyss if they had better engagement tools. We're introducing Mark / Dash as a summoner spell option to address that need.

Meanwhile from the LotPK promo page:

Keep in mind, summoning the Poro King is a massive boost to your team’s sieging potential. Don’t underestimate the AoE damage he lays down and the AoE heal he serves up.

The fact that you think engagement tools were the reason why melee champions had an easier time on LotPK shows a huge lack of understanding of the game mode's problems, even when you previously hit the nail on the head on the promo page. And sadly this has been explained to you by many players since Mark's release. Maybe instead it had something to do with the poro king itself. Maybe, just maybe it was because the PK was a godsend for pushing towers mercilessly. It's effectively an easily obtainable Baron buff. If you want to balance ARAM correctly that's the flavor of change you need instead.
