They won't hardcore nerf Zilian before his remake. If anything they will nerf his global passive or ult and call it a day.

I know 100% if they decide to nerf Talon he will be losing the silence on his E. Was already talked about in a giant ass thread when they removed Leblancs silence a few patches ago.

Welcome to the league of nerf cycles where things are nerfed so much pro's are actually starting to consider jungle Warwick over stuff like Lee sin and Elise.

You don't want any champion you like playing to be picked in LCS or Worlds. Equals hardcore nerfs.
I'll take dull variety of that any day.
OzzyOzrock
LCS is a reflection of what the currently strong champions and meta picks are. The reason you see champions picked in LCS nerfed are because the people in LCS use the strong champions. If there was no LCS or way to see top players play champions would still be nerfed because of how riot gathers information on champions from players that study the meta-changes from patches, so saying that LCS causes nerfs to champions is wrong, but not far from the truth since champions with an advantage in the meta are often picks LCS leading to an almost parallel correlation.

jk pls lcs stop play my champ
Vulf
Still not entirely correct.

Stuff isn't only nerfed because of competitive play unless your name is Leblanc.
Solo queue stomps get nerfed all the time like Darius and Akali for example.

LCS = more popularity which in return means more people bitch and moan about said champion which can = nerfs. There is a correlation.
All it really shows is just how horrible Riot is at balancing a game.

Champs aren't really picked for the meta anymore because lol nerf cycles ruined any hope for that. The champs that are picked are picked because they are overwhelmingly stronger than the others. Generally what happens when your entire balance philosophy is to nerf and nerf then rework something just to nerf it some more (Olaf).

Like always. When people see new releases immediately buy the champions ( I really don't understand why to spend 7800 IP instead of just waiting a couple of weeks to get them cheaper), and then they feed so hard for 10-20 games
DaddyCoolVipper
Udyr feels like a good counter to Gnar, but maybe that's just for low ELO. Turtle stance can block damage if you get hit by his poke, and tiger takes off like 40% of his hp in each trade. You can just back off when he's Mega Gnar.

He actually gains 1260 health + 36 MR and Armor just from his passive alone at level 18 which is quite ridiculous when you think about it, it's like Shyvana's passive but three times better
But then again he has the lowest base health at level 18 so that makes up for it a little bit

Furthermore he has an attack speed steroid in his small form paired with a stronger version of Vayne's W (except that it doesn't deal true damage) along with 7 cc abilities and a gapcloser

From those stats alone he looks like the most OP champion ever created but I haven't played against a good Gnar so I can't judge it yet :/

I've found that although hes the new word for OP Gnar's actually quite easy to kite. As long as you can dodge his initial jump or ulti...
And well, without much AOE on his team, he actually doesn't prevail that well in open teamfights (like in mid)

But all i've ever done with him is just rush Trinity Force and Botrk then go off-tank... Actually works pretty well
So, not really a good option for sustained fights (since theres a limited amount of time to poke till his passive reaches 100)
Onces it reaches 100 either engage or just step the fudge back, i see alot of players not being able to control Gnar's fury/rage whatever the fudge it is

So yeah, Gnar's a really good champion, mechanically quite challenging but nobody knows how to use him...
Once they know how, hes gonna replace teemo as the new satan (or maybe be like a heir to teemo's title)

Why would I be talking about aesthetics? Rengars theme is cool, but his kit is completely obnoxious and disgusting. It's so stupid that it's essentially been reworked about 4 times now. As long as Riot keeps trying to retain his "Identity" with the reworks he will continue to be retarded and keep getting nerfed.

There is a big difference when you compare kits like Yasuo and Kha'Zix to Kassadin and Rengar. You can balance Yasuo and Kha'Zix with their current kits. I think Kha'Zix is actually in a decent spot now in terms of healthy gameplay. Never really had a problem with that champion until they randomly decided to give him super tankyness in stealth for some reason (which was later removed).

Kits like Rengar and Kassadin will never be healthy for the game and they should be remade from scratch. Been saying this since the first mini rework Kassadin got back in 2010. As long as they try to keep their identity with the reworks those two champions will always be bad for the game or unplayable.
khan119
I didnt compare them, i listed them as terribly designed champs.
Vulf
Yasuo and K6 aren't terribly designed though. Is the point of my post.
Their problems are too many free stats in an already overloaded kit which is fixable without a rework unlike Kass and Rengar.
khan119
i striked k6 because of that but yasuo actually is teribly designed and unbalancable without him being completely useless or completely overpowered
Vulf
Care to explain why? I'm interested in why you think this.

I agree that he is annoying and frustrating to play against, but he is definitely a champion that can be tweaked some without making him useless.
Witch Mercy
Kha'zix is so fun omg.
I should just play eve and him from now!
OzzyOzrock
I wonder what it would do to Yasuo to nerf his crit-building identity. Would annihilate some DPS but where would they compensate if that were to happen?
khan119
tell me some of these tweaks that can be applied to yasuo without drastically changing his place in the game
Vulf
If I was going to do some tweaks to Yasuo the first thing I would start with would be his ulti.

Lets take a look at this ability



See how ridiculously overloaded that ability is? Does he really need all of that? No

Does this ability need 1200 range to be used effectively? No
Would nerfing the range affect his gameplay significantly? Not enough to make him unplayable.

Does this ability need to work with other knock ups? No

Would increasing the CD at later levels nerf him enough to hurt his place in the game? No

Another thing would be to remove the maximum flow upon arrival because a big problem with Yasuo is that he is too tanky for what he does.

None of these changes alone would make him unplayable but would hurt him enough to where he is less excruciating to play against. Yasuo isn't binary enough to where changes like this would make him unviable.

If he is still problematic after that I would look at his passive shield.

Most people seem to think wind wall is the problem with that champion when it really is his overloaded passives and ulti.
khan119
the ult only working on his own airborne would make yasuo so fucking bad
Vulf
Nerfs his late game which is his problematic area aside from the random tankyness, but yeah I agree it's probably too much since that would make that ability way too unreliable.
Could make it only effect one target not sure why it hits multiple.

You still haven't explained to me why you think he is a terribly designed champion?
khan119
Your tweaks wouldn't make yasuo a balanced champ. He can still just crit the shit out of ad carrys no matter how far behind he is
Vulf
So you are just going to ignore my question then? Okay

His crit passive isn't anywhere near his problem which is why I said remove some of his tankyness. With supports like braum and morg being dominate there is absolutely no reason a Yasuo should be sticking to a carry to crit the shit out of them unless you got caught in his ult in which case you deserve to die.

He loses some of his tankyness means he is bursted down in fights if he tries to dive an adc.
Hika
yasuo is not okay, let's just leave it at that.
not sure how people let him catch up after he feeds enough to stop starvation in africa

I'm not sure why but recently I've been playing a ton of AD Nidalee and can say for sure that she's extremely fun, even when built AP she's still pretty strong. :>

Same with Akali, the amount of people that don't respect her level 6 power spike is ridiculous and I can get a kill nearly 70% of the time I hit 6.

AD Nidalee is fun. Most of the time, I play her against Nasus. Nidalee wrecks Nasus early game by harassing him with autos and Nidalee has much more to offer in teamfights than Nasus.

I do the same but I build differently when I am fighting a Nasus or another really tanky toplaner and jng where I will usually buy sheen/phage then rush BotRK so I can actually do damage to them when they are trying to farm or get stacks. It also helps with split pushing when you buy a BotRK but you won't get as tanky sooner but you'll be more relevant late game cause you will still have the BotRK passive to help you still do dmg.

It's nice to have a top laner that actually has a ton of variety in what she can build unlike the typical rush BotRK then get tanky.

Hey guys, fairly new player here, i have experience midlane and jungle, but no so much support or top.

Can you guys give me champ recommendations and tips for support and top?
Navizel
How new though

Top - tank damage, peel, kill enemy carry
Irelia
Put points in your R whenever (q>e>w>w>w>r>w>e>w>>>>>)
Starting Items: Crystalline Flask, 3 health pot, trinket/Doran's Blade, 1 health pot, trinket
Core build: Triforce, Choice of boots (Ninja Tabi against AD, Merc Treads against AP or heavy cc team)
Optional: Blade of the Ruined King
Against AD: Randuin's Omen/Frozen Heart
Against AP: Banshee's Veil/Spirit Visage
Extension: Guardian Angel/Thornmail

Focus on farm, Q a minion if you can't land the last hit. If your enemy got too close, auto-attack them. They will attack back or will run, E them either way. Use your W and auto-attack them to death. If they run and you can't chase, use your q to close the gap. If you have Sheen, AA-E-AA-W-AA...-Q. Make sure to know your matchup though.

Also, ult+auto+ult+auto.. for Sheen procs.

For support

What people don't seem to understand is that unlike champions like LB or Kass once Talon goes in he has no means of escape hence why he shouldn't be touched. The silence is short and you can do something about it as long as you survive the burst (as an assassin he's MEANT to burst people, I don't get all the whining). The only reason he's getting popular now is due to nerfs to other assassins, he was considered bad before but really nothing changed about him. There are so many middle lane picks that SHIT on him so hard (Ryze, Swain, Diana, Fizz, anything that can counter him with range) and his pre-6 is awful. If he gets nerfed he will probably fall to shit-tier and then be forgotten for months or years. I hope Riot won't listen to the reddit crybabies...
BrokenArrow
Yeah he is in the same situation as Akali: Godlike in low-mid elo due to his stealth, but chokes once people learn how to control him with pink wards. He is great in skirmishes at dragon or baron and he has, unlike most assassin's, strong AOE damage which can make him a strong pick even in competetive play. At least in the right hands. He can get most of his damage out before he gets bursted down so he isn't that risky of a pick, though he is mediocre at best when it comes to sieging.

I haven't seen a pro player play Talon well except for Voyboy yet, I guess people still need to figure out how to play him correctly.

I still think he deserves some changes, be it buffs or nerfs. His passive is a bit awkward and doesn't work well with his usual spell rotation.
Vulf
As more things get nerfed the stronger others get.

Look at Warwick for example. He went from a troll pick to a strong Jungler and this was all due to buffs to his items and nerfs to other strong junglers. His kit was untouched other than bugs fixes which came with even more bugs.

It's already been said by Riot that if they ever decide to nerf Talon he will be losing his silence most likely.
Jing Yuan
Thank you Navizel for the help.

That's why you need to force teamfights early and get objectives so they can't get into late game. In case the game reached late game, Nidalee can splitpush just like Nasus.
