Idk, Riot constantly neutering everything and the huge downward power curve is really making league stale IMO. Champions just don't feel as dynamic and awesome as they used to because instead of nerfing a champion by making them weaker at what they do poorly Riot nerfs champions by removing their strengths. It's my opinion every champion should have something as awesome as Talon's silence or Yasuo's wind wall or any of the number of skills people bitch about until Riot nerfs it. | ||

Don't think he should get nerfed but it is a shitty comparison. | ||

Sounds like Jax had no MR and Ryze probably had Frozen Heart, so Jax was doing like 50% damage to him. | ||

it started with zilean and whatever his word was, something about fun mechanics, i forgot. then toxic, rivington in the meantime tries to introduce "backside", but he failed. counterplay is the new riot approved word, seperating the good riot employees from the great ones. And Ghostgrawler in the meantime has a bandwidth problem. | ||

Don't think he should get nerfed but it is a shitty comparison. Main point was that if silences have "no counter play" then stuns have even less "counter play." And the lack of "counter play" is the reasoning Riot has given for removing LB/Kass/Talon silences.

That was like two-three years ago though so I don't really remember what they got rid of. | ||

Context is everything for what is strong/weak on a champion. There is plenty of counter play to a slow, mediocre damage champion with no gapclosers and a 600 range, slow moving projectile stun. There is much less for a fast champion with huge burst and a 700 range instant gapcloser + silence. | ||

There is much less for a fast champion with huge burst and a 700 range instant gapcloser + silence. There is plenty of counter play to a silence. Even an instant one. Don't get in range of his silence, your allies can peel for you, and the only people he's going to instantly blow up are squishies. Practically no one complained about him for years and now it's only a problem because the entirety of their roster has gotten weaker. Ignoring that my stun comparisons were shit removing every silence from an assassin because there's "no counter play" to it is horrible balance imo.

He'll pretty much go back to where he was before his rise in popularity. As in, not played much at all. Unless they give him buffs somewhere else. | ||

I'd sooner see a reduction of the silence to 0.5s than a total change, because he is an exciting champion if nothing else. Random thought: would Talon be stronger or weaker if his ult gave him a big tenacity buff instead of stealth? On September 16 2014 23:46 Kupon3ss wrote: But that's the whole character design of assassins, to QWER and assassinate you. In the grand scheme of things nerfing and deprecating old characters while continually creating op and exciting new things like yasuo isn't a bad way to go and lifts a lot of the burden off the balance team. Can you really say this is the case? Just looking at some random All Stars game as examples: SKT vs OMG: 7 champions post-Leona, 9 champions pre-Leona (inclusive) TPA vs FNC: 8 champions post-Leona, 8 champions pre-Leona C9 vs OMG: 8 champions post-Leona, 8 champions pre-Leona I use Leona since I started on Leona patch, easiest to judge. I think about 60% of champions are pre-Leona. | ||
