Can we please adjust the yordle buff?

UrSammich··4 votes·1,242 views

I'm tired of facing people who do 6 yordles comps and have that high doge/miss. I just went against a guy in rank who had a 6 yordle comp and by the time I finally was knocked out, he still was at 90 and in first. I was 3rd mind you. While I love gnar and mega gnar, gnar is the biggest problem when it comes to yordle comps and wild comps. He is way too tanky and can easily take out champs on the board pretty quickly. If yordles buff doesn't get nerfed in some fashion, at the very least adjust gnar.

Sorcerers > Yordles.

Yes, but if you’re not running Wild or Sorcs, you auto lose vs Yordle and have to hope someone else running those two comps stamp them out.

Removing RFC’s undodgable attack was a mistake.

Are you never drafting Sejuani, Cho'Gath, or Kennen? Are you never running items like Redemption or Ionic Spark?

Hell the most vulnerable comps to Yordles are Bladeslingers, Rangers, and Assassins. 4 Wild Assassins is crazy powerful atm even when Yordles aren't in since you can give the AS buff to a Ninja like Akali or Zed and you benefit from Gnar. In addition Assassins like Katarina and Evelynn have most of their power budget in spells. Rangers is likely going to draft Varus who will generate the mana he needs to nuke and you probably shouldn't use more than 2 Rangers anyway since they're nerfed and their role is more to debuff for Knights. Bladeslingers has access to Gangplank, Lucian, Miss Fortune, and Aatrox which should offer a ton of AoE damage for the stuff that Draven/Jinx don't chunk down.

Yordles are definitely strong right now, especially when you can draft enough dodge chance for a unit to have 100% dodge. It probably makes sense to cap that stat since it gets obscene when used well. However, Yordles have always had counterplay and compared to Dragon + Shapeshifter Shyvana/Asol comps, I feel I can actually kill Yordles. Shyvana the previous patch could only be killed by a fed Draven/Jinx that's fully stacked if she was itemized correctly, way too much regen/resists. And Swain hasn't been nerfed and he's the superior version of that right now being one of the premier units in Imperials. Yordles have a variety of counterplay even at ridiculous dodge chance, we've had and have worse to deal with in the game.

Isn't that...kind of the point, that certain comps beat other comps?

There’s beating and then theres outright hard countering.

Like Ionic Spark Brawlers beat Assassins, but not completely invalidate them like Yordles do to Gunslingers and Blades.

The 6 yordle dodge rate is the same than before, they get nerf by 5% the 3 yordle and add the yordle item because of the 9 yordle team.
