Hot take from a Kaisa and Vayne main. Kaisa will become trash tier unless you also buff her burst damage from level 1 since her range is so short that she can never take lots of little poke trades. You pair Kaisa with supports like Leona, Blitzcrank, Nautilus, Pyke. If Kaisa and her support land every key skill and don't get a kill she'll become worthless as a champion and by the way she usually gets her early kills by a single auto or hitting W for a passive proc.

Vayne on the other hand will become insanely broken given her interaction with the broken new version of Lethal Tempo. Silver bolts value is about to go through the roof since it's percent max health true damage.

Not adjusting both Kaisa and Vayne before this goes live is really stupid. I'll be OK I guess thanks to Vayne, but it's gonna be sad almost never playing Kaisa again.

I'm hoping data from the PBE will actually be considered and if players truly hate it this whole idea is scrapped BEF...

I'm asking moreso for examples of what they want things to look like in the future. Like a hypothetical scenario and how it would play out in the present contrasted with how they want it to play out in the future.

My hot take is that it was better to reduce damage than to increase durability. Let's just hope, in the future, damage doesn't need a buff, otherwise we will be back at square one, but with more damage than before.

Still, I'm excited for the changes.

How riven is allowed to be so broken for so long ???

Did u guys forget to nerf deaths dance aswell?

Its one of the most busted items right now that also heals a alot, and considering fighters will be even harder to burst down in a team fight this item should defenitely be getting nerfed.

Also i feel like some lethality or atleast dirk should also be getting nerfed, the amounts of damage they bring to rotations early game is too high (dirk itself basically eclipses every other early game component item in the game at its cost).

Will the -10% healing change be enough to counteract the grevious nerfs and survivibilty buffs that make healers stronger? Or will they be getting a larger nerf then -10%?

Whats the plan for balancing bruisers vs assassins, especially bruisers like Lee Sin that are doing assassin-level damage anyway? Now that it seems bursting is weaker, isnt the gap between the 2 just gonna increase more?

Originally posted by Hydrandis

Pets, esp Daisy and Tibbers should get a similar durability buff, as they are going to be in fights longer.

Question, if Pyke mid is gone this patch could pyke support get this nerf reverted?

100% uptime skirmishers are already broken in solo queue (read: every DD jungler, and jungle in general). this is a buff to all of them.

alternatively, burst mages (syndra, lux, zoe) won't be able to do what their kit is designed around. are you going to significantly lower their cooldowns?

Why did you choose to do flat changes across the board as opposed to champ specific? Tanks already don't feel tanky and I don't think just giving them more health, armor, and mr are gonna fix that when the number of things that make stacking resistances meaningless are still there, even if they are getting nerfed slightly.

Also why is only Doran's Ring mana regen getting buffed? I feel like many tanks or other top lane champs could also use help with early mana regen without being forced into a suboptimal starting item.

I know all the armor/mr buffs are on a per level basis. Is there any consideration for giving all Champs just a flat base armor/mr? Like instead of the extra durability runes we get to slept from on our rune page could we not just give those to all Champs at lvl 1? +6 armor and +8 mr would help alot in the early game. Or would that make some champions in the jungle too safe?

I don't believe this addresses the problem correctly.

The complaint is that there is too much damage in the game. A very, very large percent of that damage comes from the runes and item proc's.

You address this by giving everyone more durability.

It feels super bad as some of my favorite champs to be forced to wait for my runes + items to be ready in order to combo someone, instead of playing the champion and their kit. While it does provide extra interaction, i feel the scale is tipped way too far.

By adding extra durability, and not addressing any item / rune damage, all you do is force people to trade on cycles with their runes / items, and make abilities themselves even more meaningless without them.

Cool items are fun thematically, but when every item is adding 50-200 damage on my abilities BEFORE stats for scaling, it really feels like it doesn't matter what ability I level first, as long as I know what items i have.

Do you have any concerns about some damage dealing oriented champions to start building too tanky? I REALLY don't want to go back to bruisers being built extremely tanky and replacing actual tanks.

Any planned changes for corrupting potion? Bonus defensive stats early feels like a huge buff to corrupting potion which was already dominating pro midlane, since you get more effective hp from the healing to higher resistances and the bonus available mana seems stronger than just mana buffs to d ring.

Any plans for Divine Sunderer? Aside from across the board buffs, the main reason tanks have trouble atm is Divine Sunderer. There are some really weird synergy cases with champions that "shouldn't" be using them, like Camille for example. All the reasoning behind a Camille commiting with her E > killing or failing goes out the window when she can go in and out while not getting punished for it because of DS and Death's Dance.

Do you think tanks will be relatively nerfed by this as they gain much less % durability?

- How is this going to affect champions like Ivern and Yorick with their ults?

- I didn't get a full sense of the answer by reading the Gameplay Thoughts so I wonder how this is impacting champions with shielding or shields? If you lower healing and up survivability is that an immediate buff to enchanters or tanks with Shields (Nautilus, Tahm Kench etc)?

- Partially to do with the above, but how would this then affect itemization for said enchanters with heal/shielding power, and does this also mean nerfing champions with healing abilities (Senna, Kayle, Nidalee, Sona, and so on)

This seems like a wide scope project that could potentially be even wider scope and unintentionally buff enchanters to the moon if they aren't addressed (this coming from a support that doesn't want tank supports and the like to be booted out because Shields become king again)

Hot take: Early-game durability is actually fine, and there's no need to increase base HP or resistances. But buffs to HP/Armor/MR per level is definitely welcomed. Most "uninteractive" one-shots don't happen until major damage powerspikes, such as level 6+ or after first completed item.

How the hell is Soraka or Sona going to be balanced after this.
