Dodge used to be a stat in the game and Jax’s entire champion revolved around it. His current E lets him dodge all attacks for a period of time. His old E activated whenever he dodged, so he got a LOT of stuns off. Sivir’s old passive was to gain dodge chance while moving (it didn’t make her more viable she’s always been a mess).

Plated Steelcaps used to be Ninja Tabi which used to give dodge chance. Yi building these meant there was just very little chance of hitting him even when he wasn’t in Q.

It was also very common to take a single dodge rune, like a single crit rune, with the old system. The crit rune used to be for level 1 fights being coinflipped by a 1% lucky crit. 1% dodge was useful all game tho and you’d randomly miss an auto attack because of it.

There was also only one (1) item to counter dodging — Sword of the Divine. It gave a passive attack speed boost and an active that gave a timed duration where your autos couldn’t be dodged. It was a ...

The problem with this philosophy is that eventually if you only balance on what is "happening" and don't balance on the theoretical "actual" state of the game if the playerbase was playing better, eventually the theoretical catches up and becomes an ungodly abomination version of the previous theoretical because the team has been balancing the game around a technically inaccurate version of it for a while.

I don't play league nearly as much anymore, but this is an issue TFT has had for a while. Early in set 6.0, 5 Mutants was a pretty good comp that, while not played as much, was arguably very broken if you got a very early chogath, and high elo players were aware of it. However the REST of the playerbase was not, and as a result the comps data was mediocre. So riot decided to give chogath a pretty big base hp buff, and the next patch mutants ended up being statistically one of the most broken comps in TFT history.

The issue with not balancing the game around it's o...

Can I ask you whether MFA by TOTP on app (either Authy like or Riot Mobile) or even a hardware security key is planned in the future to settle for people's needs?

Are there ever going to be anymore Eternals? Or are those just.....done?

Looks like eternals are still going to be specific champions related where as challenges have a more general focus

Literally unplayable.

so it encourages her to play the same pattern she would normally play

I mean yeah but she also shines in extended fights which Eclipse is terrible at for ranged champions, even more so on one who doesn't need vamp/lifesteal and who has enough range to not get hit during the shield duration. I'm probably wrong since everyone builds it and she retains a good winrate, but it doesn't make sense to me

gangplank is the embodiment of league players trying not to lose to shopkeeper challenge (impossible)

him and ezreal would be 55%+ champs if people knew how to build

This is the best thing I've ever seen happen to this game. It's about time. Thank you.

Idk, you guys should have around 202-208 years by now

This. This right here is the main reason I haven't left this soul crusher of a game already. Most of the time I hate you but do know that when I don't I love you guys. Keep making me angry that Riven exists if it means you'll drop hope bombs like this one. Have a - day.

PS: Love the Swain rework btw.

Are you able to share what you think will happen with burst mages then? Seems like the changes may benefit drain or dot mages a bit

I've always wanted to ask, what does balance team think about the idea of balancing AD assassins through lethality scalings?

Then they can have less base damage and AD scalings, since damage with lethality items will stay the same and at the same time probably-nerfed lethality items can't be as effectively used by someone else (ghostblade riven as example). Similar things were aready done to Pyke (lethality), Viego and Zeri (crit) to encourage their intended build paths. Senna also has lethality scalings, so concept of just having them isn't new either.

But even if assassins are balanced after the changes their winrates will most definitely plummet anyway at first because they've had 3/4 years of getting consistently easier kills, how long will you take to make sure it's a balance issue rather than a player issue, how will you determine that?
