Fizz also kinda gets screwed by the abundance of Banshee's Veils currently, since contrary to, say, LB's chains or Gragas' Q, he can't pop them easily.

Yeah. God forbid if there's a role with a healthy champion pool.

Junglers are always going to be a major target of bans in solo queue because you can control your own play but not your teammates, so jungler picks will hurt you more than other picks for that reason. thats a nature of solo queue and a large reason why its so different from competitive play. a large jungling pool hurts solo queue more than competitive play. so players who play mostly solo queue and not competitive LoL understandably would like less things to ban

Bullshit. No matter where you play you're reliant on your teammates not being pants on head retarded.

If a dumb broken mid hero gets through, you can know you need to focus on helping and assisting your mid player or play mid yourself. if a dumb broken jungler gets through, you can't keep 4 players from making mistakes, the best you can do is play support so you can help the carry and the jungler. and just hope that mid and top do okay agianst it.

it doesn't even have to be an overpowered character, just a difficult to defend against one.

Can't wait to play AP Kog on ARAM. I do already but pre-work Q was relatively useless. Now he can poke with every one of his skills.

I think the best ban strategy in yoloQ is just to target one FOTM then two champs in the position you want that you don't plan to play. Focusing jungler isn't really a good idea, you just want to give yourself a big advantage and carry. For example if I'm playing jungle and want to play Warwick (he's pretty fun in the jungle honestly, I kid you not), I ban out two champs that gank well pre-6.

Jungle is not that strong right now. People are just used to them being weaker than the support. Remember when sightstone came out and people said support is too strong? Then when gold gen items came out and supports could actually build stuff? We survived and adapted to that. Same thing will happen for jungle. Players will start respecting junglers as threats again and it'll be fine.

no. thats not actually anything like what we're discussing. all you are saying is that lich bane is so good that there has been a top mid hero using lich bane for months. and that lich bane is the problem. And that the champions are being played because they are good lich bane users. thats not at all like saying trinity force is bad because corki isn't played. i don't think you know much beside your own reasonings about why things are done. you look at a flower and think "this is pretty because the flower needs people to plant them" without understanding anything of the actual workings of why a flower developed its shape and color,. You've made this abundantly clear to everyone reading your responses. and if you can't accept someone trying to actually tell you why you are wrong and correct because you don't like the messenger, then you aren't worth enlightening to me.

I agree with PX. lich was strong because the champions were strong, not because lich in itself as an item was op'd. It's not a 100% need to buy item, it's a nice niche item for champs that can utilize it well, and that's how it should be. The issue of those champions being out of line (fizz/lulu/kayle) has a lot to do with innate kit and less than lichbane being op'd.

Whether or not you think Lichbane is a significant amount of the power of certain picks, you should realize that Riot is probably changing it because it is a hard mechanic for them to balance properly. Same reason (likely) that they havent really explored ways to make Udyr good (despite the massive financial gains from having a good Udyr with that skin), Heimer, Maokai, etc:

Because its hard to balance those champions because of some unique feature that is different from what current FOTM champions are, which means they really don't understand why the FOTM is FOTM because of some hidden powers they havent been able to quantify. So they nerf Lich Bane, because that is a hidden power that constantly lurks making balancing AP champions harder for them.

I think the problem with lich bane is that it was such a powerful item that it limited riot's ability to manage the champs who rush it. Basically they couldnt let champs who rush lich bane be above the jedi curve because they hit a huge power spike way before most champs. By nerfing the lich bane they can normalize their scaling and buff them where appropriate without worrying about a .75 AP proc every 4 seconds.

tl:dr - Lichbane wasn't OP, just very limiting.

I'm a bit confused on why Riot nerfed lich bane while giving literally every champ that actually uses it a total of +.2 on their full burst. It just makes Lich Bane a worse item to build until lategame.

They don't know how to balance the game so they attempt to make net neutral changes until the game looks how they want it. but net neutral changes in a game with tens of thousands of interactions are never as simple as they attempt if they are even possible.

geezus. why do you even post here when almost every post you make just bashes Riot or LoL for being a shitty game?

On top of that, several months ago when Kayle/Fizz and other Lichbane users were FotM, people were wondering why Riot didn't nerf Lichbane rather than the champions. Now that Riot has nerfed Lichbane, you guys are all wondering why Riot nerfed Lichbane instead of the champions.

Not every lich bane user got +.2 AP, namely a certain support that's been really popular mid recently.

I absolutely never said they should nerf the champions. the issues with those characters aren't because they have too many numbers and changing their mobility or utility just homogenizes the game even more. Being critical of riot based on their track record is a logical stance to take as someone who has followed the game for a long time. I'd far rather have people be critical of a company that generally shoots in the dark when it comes to balance rather than just dick ride them for every change they make no matter the circumstance or whether it ends up badly or not. Fizz's problem is there is little defense for him since he can get in and out without dying or being touched inherently, so the defense you'd think would be in protecting his target, but with only a couple good shields and no really good heals in the game that can heal through 50% reduction protecting the target tends to be up to the target having good defense, which is not feasible for a lot of roles right now. kayle's pretty alright but she makes it very difficult to win a fight because of her ultimate which is very strong for a meta based on front loaded burst rather than sustained damage. and lulu just does everything really well when it comes to protecting herself and her team and winning fights and she's strong in part of how important it is to just stall out a fight in a burst meta.

Yeah

It's weird how Lulu basically sat at the same place for months (in fact, iirc she even got a few nerfs along the way) and then all of a sudden became popular mid and that suddenly required kneejerk nerfs from Riot.
