I said when they nerfed Fizz the real Target shoulda been Lichbane.

I am aware, and we saw the same thing, champions who could one shot the wave with Grail alone dominating the scene.

Except, rarely do we see ziggs get to the point where he gets lichbane in competitive play.
Usually it's sorc boots + grail + death cap+ voidstaff combo, first, and lichbane is usually an afterthought.

Lich Bane is abused on Kayle though. 2.3 ap ratio nuke in a half second is fun

I can't believe people don't like Gragas. He is like the coolest melle champion in the game.

I love Gragas, playing him is really really fun, and his design is cool, but he is crazy strong right now. His damage spikes so quickly, and he doesn't ever fall off.

That lane's not super black and white, I mean yea Faker made gragas players look bad but Riven isn't an auto win against grag. I personally like orianna against gragas but it's a pretty hard lane if you fuck up.

Gragas probably does too much damage, ever played a gragas with spectral wraith and sorc shoes chunking your ad out of the jungle? That shit ain't cool.

the should just turn grag's e back to how it was before

Not because he needs it but just so I can style with him in peace while all the fotm-ers think he's bad and move on to the next "op"

Who do you think is the strongest champion in the game, relative to their alternatives in that role?

So I mean, yeah, Gragas is super strong, but how far ahead of Yasuo/Kayle/Ziggs/Kassadin/etc. is he? I think you could argue that the strongest champion under that definition might be Thresh.

So... when there are too many "good/OP" champions that you can't ban every single one of them... don't you think that's a good thing for the game? More champions at the top tier, less out of line broken stuff. Now if Riot would switch to tiny nerfs to these, and instead buffing those we never see some more, I'd rather have them follow this balancing reasoning, but that's not how they work so they'll just try to tone down anything popular.

Whence why he is cool, because Riot has a bad time designing regular melle champs.

There shouldn't be a champ in the game that can go even or beat everyone in lane like gragas

Annie/Leona are on Thresh level to me.

Gragas is crazy good atm because of itemisation + meta. He's always been good for sure but now he's GOGOGOGODLIKE.
