Reign of Gaming

Did we survive one patch with no Hecarim nerfs? I'm not sure, though. There have been so many consecutive nerfs to my favourite champ I've already lost count. I think someone picked him in the LCS qualifiers once (and lost) and the immediate reaction was to nerf hard as usual.

"Starcraft 1 is another example of a game that was played competitively for a very long time.  Now I am sure you want to mention the fact that it got a lot of balance patches, but by the large it was the same game for years and was still competitive."

SC1 stopped getting balance patches very early into the competitive scene, however, the way the game was played was revolutionized many times, often by finding new bugs to abuse. Even in the last moments of competitive SC1, the traditionally very stale, yet volatile, ZvZ matchup was thrown upside down when players figured out it actually is possible to force a long game and go Hive tech.

Voli's passive is equally good with resist and health. There was no change there.

How can the item cost for SotEL remain the same when the combine cost was increased? Wouldn't that imply there is a change in the cost of a component?

Did someone say wincest?

Still completely unnecessary. Nobody was complaining about Lux being OP and the only pro who plays her is Froggen.

Yeah, it's like they hate Spirit Stone in general. Riot sees that Spirit Stone items see some marginal play, so what do they do? Nerf it and the champions using it over and over, not to mention the earlier jungle changes that repeatedly shifted health from the small minions to the large ones. Now the jungle is basically Madred's only. GG, whoever at Riot loves jungling with J4 and Win Nao.

I want to know what kind of "strategic opportunities" they want to open up with Spirit of Dread. It's not a clutch ability. The decision making process is:

"Am I taking damage? Am I or my team dealing damage? Spirit of Dread!"

I mean, I get why they'd feel like they need to nerf him, but just... say that.

Yea, pretty much. You use it as soon as you start taking damage, or in case you're not in danger of dying, to deal damage. That's all there is to it and this CD nerf won't change that one bit.

Why do you play with them if you don't enjoy it?

I was going to point this out as well.
