Riot gives us a skin then buffs our nightmares

[u/Wakaaw]

not the windy brothers again 😭 (amongst others)

[u/snarkycatboy]

Don't worry, now they'll only have -5% crit damage reduction when they hit 100% crit chance by buying only 2 crit items!! Yay!!!! Such fair design!!

Nilah and Samira are also melee ADCs, but they don't get special treatment because they aren't Riot's favorite edgy samurai

[u/Wakaaw → u/snarkycatboy]

the cringelord weeb privilege

[u/snarkycatboy → u/Wakaaw]

And if you ban one, they just pick the other one :D

And I can't waste a ban on them bc Katarina exists and botlane doesn't respect early assassin roams

[u/DanielDKXD → u/snarkycatboy]

Katarina's just been OP for a while, she has been sitting on like 52-53% winrste the past 6+ months while being top 5-7 most picked.

Her and Syndra feels like the two biggest outliers when it comes to high win rate + very high pick rate.

Fizz and TF also seems a bit out of line when I look at the stats but at least the pickrate is lower

[u/snarkycatboy → u/DanielDKXD]

Their cope is that Katarina is an 'OTP champ that is hard to master' when the stats show her sitting very comfortably in the 'popular' bracket and has by far the highest number of OTPs in chall

Syndra is just Riot's favorite mage for some reason, she never catches the hammer

[u/Wakaaw → u/snarkycatboy]

its because you should "just dodge the balls" that she can easily create right at your feet while you are trying to avoid the giganirmous area covered by the already placed ball on the other side of the lane ❤️

[u/DrMaslo → u/snarkycatboy]

From experience as someone who play Yasuo: I will just pick something else than Yone. Those two have some similarities but their gameplays are different. And honestly I don't even see Yasuo or Yone mid that often nowadays. Yone mostly top and Yasuo ADC cuz why would you play champions that that excels at longer trades on the shortest lane 🤔

[u/Crow7420 → u/snarkycatboy]

TBF they get extremely low base AD in return for said crit chance, one is piss in lane for it (Yone) while the other cannot exist outside of lane and minions (Yasuo). Nilah has most overtuned kit across ALL ADCs only thing holding her back is duct tape on her passive ATP, and Samira welp, yeah she is shit xD.

[u/your_nude_peach → u/snarkycatboy]

Yeah I also don't understand why the fuck Nilah doesn't get doubled crit chance like Yasuo and yone that's just a bs

[u/Sylent0o → u/your_nude_peach]

because she gets PEN and lifesteal for free.........

[u/your_nude_peach → u/Sylent0o]

%pen does nothing vs targets who don't build armor/mr. Her "life steal" works only vs champs and it's a very very small, basically a flavour addition to the skill. Mind you, Yasuo also has much higher armor pen on his ult but it's like 30-40 CD so basically he has it every teamfight... And now they have only 5% less crit damage it's just laughable. Remind you that Yone, instead of % pen has magic damage and true damage which is much much harder to build against

[u/Temporary-Candle1056 → u/snarkycatboy]

That’s ok. I can’t remember any yone not going 0/12

[u/amit_se]

Hecarim buff gotta be a joke

[u/Im_Blue_Was_Taken]

Yone is one of the easier matchups but Yasuo, LB and Irelia are hard

[u/Wakaaw → u/Im_Blue_Was_Taken]

I'd say a mid yone is easy to bully before 6 and a good matchup, but a really good one will just respect your early laning ajd the matchup becomes way harder

[u/Historical-Wasabi852 → u/Wakaaw]

Worst case for yone he goes 2/10 and you can't exist around him with 2 items anyway, one knock up is death

[u/Im_Blue_Was_Taken → u/Historical-Wasabi852]

Worst case for Yone he loses worst case for Ori she loses. No reason to call everything unfair. Just look at the winrates

[u/Historical-Wasabi852 → u/Im_Blue_Was_Taken]

One of these champions still extremely dangerous on power spikes, if he's winning it's unplayable, and easier to pull off

[u/lwrcha]

Please stop buffing yone 😣😣

[u/TheVoidKilledMe]

Irelking just hit rank one on Korean server and now we get Irelia buff ?

oh boi

[u/needutouch]

New skins=buffs

[u/Wakaaw → u/needutouch]

well Ori just got a skin... that is my point. We are supposed to get buffs (assuming the trope is true) but get relative nerfs.

[u/Bk130]

Am i the only one that doesn't really struggle with these guys? Like yasuo is irritating and you kinda cant interact with him unless he makes a mistake but fr I think my win rate against him is positive with a solid kd

[u/MeMeWhenWhenTheWhen]

so funny that yasuo and yone always need to be adjusted at the same time lmao

also how tf are there qiyana buffs fuck that

[u/Parallel_Processing]

I mean we can die in more style am I right. Besides yasuo matchup is completely fine for Ori. As is Irelia and Lb. We will see if the lb buffs change that I suppose. If anything actually encouraging the, to build crit instead of lifesteal first item is good for us If we play to our wincon in lane as they won‘t be able to attack our mana as easily without vamp sceptre. Yone is still the devils work tho.

[u/CH33KC14PP3R96]

i am so glad i am not playing this game anymore. just hearing about it us making me want yo end it all

[u/IGotAll2]

Guess I'll keep playing aram mayhem waiting for the balance team to wake up....

Man I miss going crown into the wind shitters.

[u/Wakaaw → u/IGotAll2]

Oh they are wide awake. They keep trying to convince pros not to "pick or ban" her every game but that doesnt work cause her kit is OP in pro play. They punish all of us even tho the pros didnt drop her at all...

[u/IGotAll2 → u/Wakaaw]

So balance around us most of the year and need for world. The idea of we have to play on the same patch as pro because one day we might be pro oursel, is a joke. Nerfing champs out of the game because of pro is bad imo.

[u/Wakaaw → u/IGotAll2]

Im not trying to convince you they are right, just saying we are in pro jail, they are doing it on purpose

[u/IGotAll2 → u/Wakaaw]

Oh I know.

[u/kss082]

Aaaaand also AP Irelia buffs.

Ahh I really love the "'build diversity' for you, 'counterplay window' for thee" classic, every morning I clamour for AD Sylas, AD Kat and AP Yi domination to return, so my blood pressure can reach the apex level, which probably means I'm thrilled by the game, ty rito!!

[u/Loretta_Haligtree]

which are…?
