How can having diversity be a bad thing?League is such a simple and straightup game unless you get to high level for real.

Diversity is good, but there's a point where something becomes SO diverse that it's bad, s'what I'm saying.

Maybe you disagree that Jayce is there, but I think that's where Riot is coming from.

Need more reasons to max Tiger with SGU coming out.

Red pot start is so silly on tiger level 1 udyr; he 2 shots any champion. He can pretty much solo invade and guarantee at least 2 kills.

But that's like 1 champion out of >100.I just don't see how can this be a bad thing.

@Ketara actually a lot of champs have their power spikes at level 9 based on the timing at which they max their first skill, or at 12/13 when they max their first 2 skills (Syndra has both thanks to her passive). Its not really as homogeneous as you say.

Jayce changes aren't about diversity, they're about a champion having literally everything in his kit.

Note that the transform damage-on-next-hit is still there (moved to passive) but the huge armor shred is being removed (meaning you'll get the on next hit damage switching to ranged form too.) 30%+ armor shred is KINDOF a lot, especially when the champion also has a huge amount of physical burst, likes to build last whisper and brutalizer. Double especially when it's in his "pretend I'm a decked out ranged carry for a bit" mode.

I mean he's not even getting shoved into the same cookie cutter mold that is 'standard' - he's going for a mold that isn't used by anyone else so that he can have his diverse transform-based kit (which isnt like the other two transforming champions, really)

So what is jayce REALLY losing here? He's losing his armor shred, he's losing +40 movespeed for a tiny period when he preses R, and he's getting a pile of number tweaks.

Syl, you're going back to a "balance" argument. The reason it became a diversity argument is because Ketara didn't see it as a balance argument.

From the standpoint of balance, there simply hasn't been enough time since this current patch for Riot to already be mapping out Jayce nerfs because this patch already made several changes with significant effects on his power level.

Honestly, I feel like if they made this change BEFORE the accel gate changes and tear changes, I would have zero problem with it. So I have zero problem with it.

As a criticism of Riot's quickfire balance approach though, I agree with you. Riot is often too quick to make a change instead of letting one nerf play out (we haven't even SEEN the jayce changes affect the pro level and they're already applying another pile of changes?) before examining for further nerfs.

I never said a word about jayce changed doe :D.I just think that champs being different is a good thing and helps make the game more fun to play/watch.

ketara is full of it on this one. i read through what xypherous said and that's not a major factor at all.

That's fair Yango, but I think Syndra/Udyr/etc probably work the way Riot wants them to, and Jayce probably does not. That's the difference.

I think it's a shame that has to be the defining factor, because some of the best gameplay in games comes from things that don't work as designed, or were not designed for a particular use case.

I just want Riot to have like 1 year where they slow down their patch cycles.

I understand why they do it, it's good business! The pros and us TLers will grumble that the meta can't settle but most people just want to play such that Jayce isn't one shotting them from the fog of war.

Plus it keeps their game shiny.

Still though. Slower patch cycles.

Riot plz

I have nothing against the game. I don't even think it's negative, is it?
I picked it from Yango, so please direct blame towards him. Thank you.

The joke was you respect it so little you don't even call it by it's real name. But I'm with you on this one, let's just blame Yango.

They did. It's down to around one a month instead of every two weeks.

They have slowed down their patch cycles. Think about how long it's been since the last one.

Here's an amusing/bizzare thing that happened at Gfinity:

Wolves were playing against Eternity and during a pause Pheilox (from TCM, former Fnatic support) gave information about Eternity's map position to Wolves for some reason. People saw it happening on the stream and it all ended up with TCM withdrawing from the tournament and kicking Pheilox from the team.

Oh, I have no idea. I think it's just because it sounds silly. I'm not familiar with the origin.

@Wave/OWB: And I see that/commemorate them for that, but I would still like to see more time still. Just my personal opinion.

@Ketara, I really like the buff transfer idea and I'd love it if some higher level players put it to use! It seems that it's been effective at lower levels - anyone higher up wanna give it a try?
