Light + Soulbound every game

wouldn't say so. You can make the 'wraith form' deal X% of normal damage to buff/nerf If lucian only dealt 75% damage or even less after dieing, it would make quite some difference.

Soulbound is such a wierd one since it cannot be buffed or nerfed without completely changing the concept.

[sg-lux-2]

Just cut their stats in half or reduce it by 25%-33% when they enter the shadow realm. Keeps the benefit of soulbound, prevents lucain solo-ing your entire team... as for senna... well it's not like people play her for the stats she has. She's just life-support for Lucian.

This also fixes the issue of putting Lucian on the front line to soak up damage because now there's actually a negative to having your highest damage dealer dying.

Light soulbond, Blademaster azir, any compy with Posion Singed. Unplayable patch unless you play these 3

Poison Singed is OK because 2 stars tier 5 unit is not easy to get unless you are level 9. 1 star Singed is not OP.

Lights soulbound + 2 lunar is a problem now.

I run a different Azir comp and beat the blademaster azir comps.

As for light/soulbound, they just need to change lucian. His ult his across the whole map, hits way too hard, and not only that but he dashes and hits your carry so it's incredibly hard to even body block.

Its only weak if you cant pull 2* lucian and yoric. Once you have those with a stacked vayne/lucian just about the only thing that ruins your day is a better rolled azir bm team. Not to mention if you arent seeing lights at all you should be picking them up... what elo are you?

There is another way to neft them. Senna buy time with GA. Having GA revive faster make Lucian less effective. I have a game where my 3 last units were waiting for Senna to revive and get assassinate by the dead Lucian.

This is quite an interesting suggestion that I'm worried would cause more harm than good. Yes, it would definitely hinder Soulbound, but on the reverse it would be a straight buff to GA for literally everybody that isn't them.

Now, would that be a bad thing? I can't really say for sure. I've always felt like GA is a rather subpar item, the wearer usually just gets 1-shot upon reviving, often because it takes so long that their allies are already dead. I think overall it would be a positive suggestion.

Don't forget that on paper and in reality are two seperate things. Some buffs will sound OP, and turn out to be rather useless, while other smaller things that make bigger impacts go un noticed. Lights were already pretty strong before if you high rolled, or got the right light spat unit and the spat. Now they are batshit with protect senna. Desert and azir both need hard nerfs tho.

It would be better if there were direct counters to the current FOTM. But countering lucian senna is exceptionally difficult without bullshit levels of AOE damage, because the vayne will eat your tanks. Countering Azir sivir bms is even harder because wardens don't do shit against azirs magic damage and mystics don't provide nearly enough reduction from his soldiers to keep your backline from being blended effortlessly if he isn't zephyred, or instantly killed by some assassin, or aoe or hard CCd.
