Why balance when you have no control over your team composition anyways? Then again Riot are pretty nice guys. I never thought they'd ever do this. | ||

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if, eventually, Riot did some kind of map-specific balance changes to ARAM simply because of both it's popularity and the fact that it's actually harder than Dominion is. | ||

I almost always approach the discussion from a competitive perspective. I haven't played against a lot of 2v1s but I can judge the impact they are having on the game. | ||

Right now its probably only used as your "defensive item" in place of GA/Warmogs/Randuins after you get a BT(IE)/LW/SS(PD) core. I think you forgot that Riot nerfed it pretty hard on ranged carries. Use to be 3 second slow field, 35% slow, 275 radius aoe. Now it's only 2 second slow field, 30% slow, 210 radius aoe. | ||

Whew. Oh wow, certainly didn't expect this. Interesting for sure, interesting to see what kind of things actually get changed. | ||

Can you imagine an ARAM tournament finals decided because one team got a bunch of melee and the other got Ez, Nid, Lux etc. | ||

Whether or not it is as competitive as SR is pretty irrelevant. pre-S1 LoL wasn't as competitive as S3 now but that doesn't mean that balance wasn't important. The point is that, whether you think Dominion is competitive or not (whatever that means, honestly if a game has 1 winner then it's competitive in the broad sense) the enjoyment of Dominion by its greatest fans has been hampered by a lack of balance. Riot being able to balance it is a good thing even if SR overshadows it for forever. | ||

Also who knows, maybe the changes could help Dominion feel more competitive. Edit: Also 5 Health Potion limit is offical on the PBE. Edit 2: Also our NA LCS Week 8 recap is live on Reddit. You guys should check it out. | ||

If you get a game on Udyr or Volibear you're supposed to just laugh about the ridiculousness of it and if you have a rank/tournament to care about you can't do that. It's not really built to be treated competitively so no one really does. | ||

Your quoted in reference to why it sucked on Ezreal; what I meant was that it wasn't debunked, it was nerfed. | ||

Good times. Akali deserved nerfs but those are pretty minor and just stop her constant trading damage from chucking a Q. Oh lord am I happy that is getting nerfed. I had an Akali last patch start bluepot+pots rush sorc boots, against me. It was the most obnoxious thing because not only was she going to outlane me literally with nothing but boots and blue pot after 6 because of her ult charges, but before 6 she traded even me in because of that, pots, and the armor/mr from shroud. -_- On a side note, anyone seen any good Karma theorycrafting/guides/vods? I really want to learn her. I wish theyd just buff her passive and the base mantra cd more, Im not sure how good these buffs are exactly to Karma's teamfight and laning. | ||
