So it looks like Creaton and Angush are officially joining Millennium. A lot of talent on that team. I'm not too knowledgeable on their former ADC and top laner, but Creaton and Angush were really solid on Curse.EU.

creaton is better then haydal but Angush for me was always the worst player on curse.EU and i rated enemyz as the 2nd best top laner in europe

I think when somebody says "This is really overpowered" that the solution isn't "Boy everybody should do that" it's "Wow this needs to be fixed as soon as possible."

But that's just me.

Are the CDR and Armpen on Brutalizer and BC going to stack next patch? Will AD Casters be able to go Black Cleaver - Brutalizer - Last Whisper?

Because that's almost the same as BC BC LW

If it's really that broken, there's no reason you can't just pick bruiser/AD assassin mid yourself and win games. People are really overblowing the need for a balance hotfix.


hurricane is worst when a bruiser dives you and you're forced to kite him, and a PD would help a lot due to the higher single-target dps and MS but the hurricane just sucks there.


Wait.
When there is someone so broken that you basically HAVE TO play bruiser/ad caster how does it NOT need a hotfix?

Considering I rarely even see ap carries at all in games I'm pretty sure it's broken lol ~1800 elo.

Hurricane increases your damage by a lot if you are hitting 2 people at once, but it's not as impressive as it looks on paper because it splits the damage. Killing a single target fast is really really important because it helps snowball the teamfight and Hurricane doesn't do that as well as other items.

Also, Neo, your icon changed to a marine for a few hours I think. What happen?

Yeah the radius for the side bolts on hurricane is pretty small, so it's rare for you to actually be able to hit 3 enemy champions at once.

It might be rare to hit three at once, but it is not rare at all for you to hit two champs at once in a team fight. And hitting two at once with your auto attack in a team fight can be HUGE. Worked well for me in a game yesterday - got a couple kills on champs that I didn't even realize I was hitting until they died.

Yeah, but I keep getting the feeling that they would just die faster with a PD.

Well when I got hurricane yesterday I actually got it after I already had a PD (other items were berserkers, IE, BT, BC, hurricane was my 6th item). Hurricane along with those items was pretty fucking ownage. I certainly wouldn't get hurricane any sooner than to be my last item though, but it's extra damage can really add up when you already have other strong items in your inventory. I think PD should definitely always be first though as far as improving dps, hurricane is just the icing on the cake. It is at least more cost efficient than a second PD would be imo.

You have to play an AD carry in each game. You have to play with a jungler every game. And these are even more strict "have to" clauses than "You have to play a brusier/ad caster". The game is no where near designed to be viable with every possible combination of champions on a team.

They're nerfing brutalizer and BC next patch. The game will be better that way, but it's nowhere near bad enough to warrant a hotfix right now.

Geez. Maybe it's because I grew up on BW but the first reaction to something being imbalanced should not be "hotfix pls". In my day you were lucky if they even thought about a balance patch!

BW is still horribly inbalanced when looking at stuff individually. However, combine all the broken elements and they happen to balance out

Riot typically has kneejerk reactions so we want them to balance it (and they will, in a week)

That's the thing, at the point where you already have IE and PD, you have too much invested in crit stats for Hurricane to be better since it can't crit. PD would be better from that point unless you somehow otherwise have 100% crit.

BW received a really massive balance patch pretty early in its life cycle. Well I guess it was later than I remember...

Still, big stuff like psi storm no longer killing lurkers/muta in one cast, missile turret cost decrease, dragoon build time increase, etc etc. If BW introduced as many changes as Season 2 to Season 3, the balance patches would have to come a lot quicker.

The thing with LoL is that Riot responds too quickly to things being "broken", so while there may actually be a multitude of broken things that are reasonably balanced amongst themselves, players only discover them one at a time, so it only seems that there's 1-2 broken really broken things, and by the time players discover new ones, Riot's already nerfed the old ones.

A great example of this was the period of several months where Nocturne, GP, Lee Sin, Udyr, and Rammus were all the "most OP jungler" one after another. If you actually put all of them in their pre-nerf states together, they would probably be balanced with respect to one another, but because the player base only discovered them one at a time, and Riot nerfed them one at a time, it created the impression that there was always one "most OP" jungler.

Admittedly, Riot has gotten much better about this, particularly with longer patch cycles.

yes, Riot balances by nerfing the top 3 things every patch.

they are very stubborn with this approach, i dont think they will change it.

To be honest, I thought they would with Season 3. I guess it's just easier to nerf, and the LoL community is so used to whining=nerfs that if something doesn't get nerfed people start making threads titled "omg this red dagger so bad, I uninstall, HF no $ Ryut!"
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

Muramana Ryze is op, but it doesn't kick in until you stack your tear, and Ryze has some bad matchups mid.

And in lower levels, Ryzes suck at stacking tear, so it's way less powerful.

hurricane is worst when a bruiser dives you and you're forced to kite him, and a PD would help a lot due to the higher single-target dps and MS but the hurricane just sucks there.

There's a reason people are saying (complaining) the game comes down to who has more black cleavers. Panth, Talon, and friends suddenly are seeing a ridiculous surge in usage, winrate, and more importantly, the standard counterplay (buy some armor so you dont get 100->0'd in a combo) DOESN'T WORK. A cleaver and a brutalizer will full-pen your armor, counting 5 Arpen mastery but no runes, from 55 armor. 100 Armor gets reduced to 30. And they're also getting free survivability and CDR. With a last whisper, 200 Armor gets reduced to 48 armor. That's bringing the malphites and other armor-happy people down to the armor level of AD carries late game. Just to make matters worse, if a team is stacking arpen, they synergize with each other by playing off each other's stacks. The AD carry doesn't even need a last whisper vs. 150 armor opponents, they can just mooch off cleavers or get their own cleaver (which has more stat efficiency and murders squishies straight up better / helps their AD caster murder everyone)

This is what happens when you combine a great flat pen item in the game with something with a great % pen item in the game, and have them stack favorably, and then give the item 1000 gold more stats than its price.

My solution so far has been "fuck armor (even GA), it doesn't work anyway, I'm buying a warmogs."

"Just play an AD caster" might as well be telling people to run an AD caster jungle, mid, and top lane. Oh wait, this is already starting to happen.

I was laning against a Pantheon top as Nasus and needed something like 250 armor before it felt I could lane against him without getting chunked instantly. It was pretty hilarious.

I think BC needs to be removed. It counters the counter, which doesn't make sense.
