Apparently, everyone knows how to balance the game better then riot. The video was only 46 percent liked.
ReplyDeleteWho do I trust with the balance of a game? People who are experiened and get paid to balance games? Or random people on the internet who rage and troll for a living?
All changes are justified, hence Morello explaining them all. I hate to so people rage over patch notes. Your main champion got nerfed? Dont downvote the video, suck it up. You will live.
nerfing support over and over again will only make them unpopular. i don t play ranked anymore because it s really not fun to play a support . it s sad that riot nerf some champions just because some people are getting good at them
DeleteYes, coz we all know Rioters are #1 at balancing game. Like per say nerfing early game on champion that has one of the weakest early from amongst ap carries. Totally legit.
Deleteyay for sheen =), but brace yourves soraka ap carry's is comming
ReplyDeleteAccording to your recap, its mostly buffs for soraka :P
ReplyDeleteLower mana costs and greater mana restored is a BUFF. Im comfused now....
@DLChade
ReplyDeleteThe mana restore can be seen as quite the nerf. The other mana reductions were to try to compensate the fact that you no longer have near infinite mana.
"Lowered mana costs of Starcall and ( presumably ) Astral Blessing.
DeleteMana restored by Infuse is increased. "
Umm, not be an ass, but having MORE mana restored by infuse seems like a buff.... how is it a nerf if you now have even more mana restored every time?? o.O
Understandably, the non self cast is a nerf, but everything else.....
There, I changed it just for you.
DeleteWhat Soraka does is heal and give some status, and thats all. She doesn't have a proper kit to harass properly and fight, she's more like bot that gives heal and mana(and other status like mr and armor).
ReplyDeleteNerfing her capacity to do this, break her gameplay. They nerfed all the heals, put mana costs highers, give less cooldown on starcalls, and she still have the same gameplay(now you need cooldown do heal more).
I really don't know why Riot keep trying to turn her in something she isn't, a fighter/mage.
Infuse can be casted on minion, so what's the point to remove selfcast and leave unchanged the others things?
ReplyDeleteBig buff for bot lane Soraka, small buff for ap sorak.
