Rengar getting dumpstered.
Assassinating people out of the blue was all he was good for. He doesn't have CC or anything...
Also Shyv getting nerfed but not Mundo or Ziggs?
Yup, Rengar doesn't have a sloq/snare at all. What's so hard about autoing somebody within 2 second of hitting Q?
Riot has said they've got nerfs for Ziggs coming, they just didn't have time to test them before this patch got finalized.

From reddit. Gave me a laugh.
Riot why :/ Haha that about sums up my feelings on these changes. Riot just weirdly hates pre-15 minute towers it seems.
I've been saying it for months with the s4 changes : riot should just put everybody at lvl11 and with 8k gold at the start of the game and call it a day.

Or maybe riot realized that nerfing ziggs would be fucking stupid

This is a pretty neat idea though
We’ve introduced a stable roster of free champions for new players to play. Our goal is to improve the way players learn to play League of Legends when they’re first starting out. These champions were picked because of how easy they can be learned and how enjoyable most new players find them.

Horrible changes. Fuck riot meta control
|
The balance changes seem ok overall but those tower changes man...If they hate early tower pushes why not just give the damage reduction to all towers? :[
|
I'd hate the tower change less if it affected bot lane too. Now it's just magically weaker for no reason.
|
So a bunch of nerfs, buffs, items changes and again shitty turret tweaking. That's season 4 ?

Top and middle lane outer turrets now have 20 damage reduction from champion basic attacks
I usually believe that Riot knows what they're doing, but this change is just horrifying. I cannot imagine a more inelegant solution. Basically it will be impossible to take turrets until like 15-20 minutes in.
I want to make a thread where we catalogue things people say between when patch notes come out and the actual patch is released that turn out to be nonsensical in hindsight.

Then do it. Call it "Vaporized's theory thread" or something like that.

"We've noticed that a lot of League of Legends players have been using gold to purchase items. This often leads to a situation where champions who get kills and CS have the potential to gain a huge advantage and snowball. To mitigate this, we have disabled the ability to buy items for the first 40 minutes of the game. Additionally, champions will no longer gain EXP from killing minions, jungle creeps, or other champions."
My thoughts on Riot's balancing mentality.
|
what I dislike the most is their streamlining mentality. now they nerf annies early game strength which make her an interesting pick. the turret change illustrates that they want too much control over how the game is played and strategy evolution.
|
Pretty good changes. Should have hit Mundo and Ziggs too.
I dont care what the changes to towers are as long as I never have to face a 1on2 lane again. Just not fun.
Also lol calling Annie an interesting pick.
|
Wait, where are the Kassadin nerfs?
|
nerfing eve dmg isn't going to change the fact that vision in s4 is buttfuck stupid.

I think we have a hostile takeover by Diana.

Riots determination to force a certain meta was one of the reasons I quit the game although I still watch it from time to time. I don't even know what to say about the tower changes...

Eh, MoonBear needs an edit to get it in though. Still room to improve.
(I wonder if he noticed it's almost full moon this week?)
