This shitposting is real.

On topic, Vel'koz seems like release Xerath to me at first opinion. Kind of meh burst, poor mobility, but an ultra sick combo.
Hey! How you doin'?

Here's the argument against this.

People who are not professional players also play League of Legends.

If the game wasn't balanced for their level of play, they'd probably stop playing as much.

If they stopped playing as much, they'd probably also stop watching games as much. Professional play would get less popular, the game would get less popular, and Riot would make less money.

It's really pretty common sense.

I think most people understand "why" things are the way they are, they just don't like it.

I can't imagine people getting mad over supplemental teemo buffs in other areas of his kit. (outside his ulti)

That's just not how Riot balances their game, which is a whole other can of worms.

I know o_O He still is hovering around 55% winrate in Diamond league. What does popularity have to do with balance?

Has to do with small group of people who play him to high levels of effective-ness vs general strength.

So teemo nerfs should be a good thing because toxic players who don't know shit about the game will stop playing him while serious progamers + Show Spoiler +

A couple of points from EU lcs,
Noct counterpicked vs panth twice
Elise blindpicked top
Leblanc counterpicked vs trundle
Swain counterpicked vs Lulu


I personally like Kass, Lulu, Yasou, Kayle, Zed, Ori, Gragas, Kha, Sivir as top tier picks because they reward personal skill with and against them more than boring shit Shyvana, Ziggs, Karthus, Cait which a great safe laners that scale well.

The real problem is create champions that are essentially Retribution Paladins circa the 2.0 WoW patch that are nearly impossible to have balanced at all levels of play.

I meam they just recently changed kayle, took huge chunk awat from her q, at least they had the decency to buff her heal. With teemo they didn't even bother giving him a reach around.
