[2021] Riot Jag with some context around healing in League of Legends.

One of the good changes this season is reducing the accessibility of AH and Mana. League's secret sauce is in the strategy not it's mindless spamming of abilities.

Then proceeds to release champs that have NO MANA and occasionally get AH from attack speed. Makes total sense! Except it f**king doesn't....

in 2020 and 2021, total of 6 new champs were released and 3 of them has no mana, and one of those has AS into AH scaling as well, so to clarify, getting rid of items that give mana nerfs a certain number of champions for sure, but definitely not the darlings like Yasuo, Yone, Riven, Sett or more recently Viego.

Ravenous Hunter gives MORE OMNIVAMP than most items in the game. Just compare how insane that is with other stats. That's like Alacrity giving 40% AS or Eyeball Collection 60 AD.

Want to nerf healing? Just remove ravenous hunter and make people have to ACTIVELY invest into omnivamp.

I'd also want to complain about it on ARAM. You can get a takedown on every single champion fairly easily there, especially if you have some sort of buff or heal spell you can cast on allies, and it is very annoying. It also doesn't help that most champions don't buy active items and the out of combat move speed matter less there, so there's really only two choices on that row.

Actually yeah, he said it not you. I assumed it's just an excerpt for people who are not using twitter, but now I opened it and saw it's not even remotely close. Apologies for that.

On the other hand, what the issue I see is that while you clearly detail in your post on twitter what you see the problematic points are you still do nothing to outliers for patches now.

Also, can we just appreciate how Seraphine got to the point where she's banned for being obnoxious gameplay-wise (and generally broken) instead of literally everything else? What exactly was the idea there? You were the designer, you must have already gotten all the feedback. I really think that release was likely the biggest learning experience in the last like 5 years or so for you guys, since she was probably the only champ ever that was received in such an overwhelmingly negative way and also the only one that was hated for non-gameplay reasons. I'm actually curious about this and since you popped up here I might as well ask.
