Spatulas Nolonger on The Wheel

Anyone know why they were removed?

Was people asking for it to be removed?

To me I feel now taking the spatula off the wheel removed part of the fun I had along with making the game now %100 RNG.

I liked the opening wheel trying to position myself to get that 1st spatula. About 7 out of 10 games no matter where it was it seemed like I could always get around to it and time my jump to get it. Now I feel like that took skill because if it didnt then everyone would be able to do it at a high rate. And I dont think it had nothing to do with FPS because my computer is crap. Its a All In One and hell i lag on the load screen.

So now the reason I feel like its completely RNG now is that now any spatula you get is completely random. I went from getting at least 1 spatula a game to work with in comps to now not seeing one for multiple games in a row while seeing other people who got 2 or 3 in 1 game.

I dont know about anyone else but in my games it seems like the people coming out on top are the ones that are getting those random spatulas that lets them make better comps.

i think ima update this later on after a few more games. Pretty sure the person that comes out on top each game is going to have a spatula item.

I really think this has made the game more RNG based instead of tactics and skills, I was climbing steadily usually I int to get the first wheel spatula then steamroll and came top 4 in over 60% of my games, now with no spactulas ever, I am finding the game much more difficult, and any new strategies I try seem to fail, I'm not much of a fan of this update. Too much RNG now!

Spatula is such a strong half item that gives players way too much of an edge. Sniping a spatula from carousel takes no more "strategy and skill" than not having it in carousel at all.

I made a similar post I agree the lack of spats has Put more favor toward RNG and I average 1 spat every 4 games and get two spats in about 1 of every 10 games. I've notice some people getting upwards of 3 spats in a game and that definitely gives an edge. On top of that I now dread spats cause Its basically a waste of an Item. I feel they wanted to nerf BM and since Riot doesn't know how to adjust numbers and seems to hate taking the time to develop counter play the easiest way to nerf BM is to completely remove the chance of early spats, and over limit the BM to like one Spat a game. Already I've read prior to the patch that Most people only went BM with a starting spat or if They got it in the first Carousel. So now waiting till krugs to maybe get a spat and then if You don't get it there You're stuck waiting till wolves it can be pretty damming.

Riot does not like late-game upsets in this game. This is also why they increased early damage. However, without FoN, it's also more difficult to fit Lux into a full comp now.
