Reign of Gaming

Is it just me or isn't there some really unwarranted nerfs in there? Since when was Gragas Body Slam a huge problem? Alistar, the way he fits into the meta, is hardly what I would considered crazy OP and if there's anything really wrong with him it's definitively not his Headbutt. And Nunu? What's the nerf on his slow for?

Evelynn needs a second rework, IMHO. I'm basing that on absolutely nothing but her stealth just feels backwards. You can see her when she's entering your screen but not when she's off it? It's like that guy in Mystery Men who can become invisible when no one's watching. Okay, I get the "pro-factor" that she's supposed to remain hidden from wards and all. But let's face it: Pro's have better jungle or roaming picks than Evelynn and most people I play with overextend despite of seeing the jungler lurking in the brush when it's warded. Fixing her numbers isn't going to affect her position in the meta one bit.

you are not smart, as shown by the fact that the people you play with dont pay attention to wards later in your post. gragas's bodyslam made him not possible to gank at ANY time after level 1, with literally no downside. it cost nothing, and moves super fast with low cd. now it actually costs something. Alistar now has to be 50 units closer to initiate/ hit someone into the wall when coming from the side. while i feel like this nerfs supporstar more than junglstar (the more broken one), SOMETHING had to be done. Nunu is STUPID strong right now, and this is a more minor change that they can do that hurts him without hitting viability in any role which i feel is a good change to a still strong champion.

I agree with you on eve though, she really just needs BASE stats, not mana or range or anything else tweaked. she kinda is like old xin now, where she HAS to get like 9 kills just to stay EVEN with the other champs in the game, but... you examples on people not paying attention to wards makes me question how much insight of yours i should actually take seriously...

I sort of agree about nunu, he's stupidly strong atm (and not played so much in solo queue as far as I am concerned).

About Gragas it seems that people completely forgot about him for 1 year and now react to him as if he was a newly released champion.

Lol wut? Bodyslam used to cost nothing? You must be high.

Well ATM its only 50 mana which isnt much and the cooldown is really low especially with blue buff. But well Gragas was designed this way I guess, that's even in the tips "how to play against : Gragas"

Evelynn not strong enough? I feel like what u are saying is wrong. I jungled with Evelynn :D And my team pretty much sucked....I could easly most of the enemy team without dieing...

I could carry with a evelynn...but since my team had feed them we didnt rly have a chance at the edning of the game...I got 28 kills-14 deaths and 26 assist :P

>.> I will never take your opinion seriously again.

you must be way way down on elo most games dont even see 28 kills per team let alone on one person...kill and death counts that high means neither team focused on objectives and ran around like a bunch of maniacs trying to get clips for a frag montage. im not even talking about deaths in the double didgits just how many times can you be in the wrong place at the wrong time, with a stealth and a speed boost?

if you 28 kills + standard farm rate would have put you at max items by 30 minutes or less. unless this game dragged on for 90 minutes somehow i dont see how its possible this game could have been above 900 elo or maybe even pre 30. take a tower some time you just might "carry your team"

i find it hilarious when people post personal scores with kills and deaths just way way way beyond the norm, it just shows a lack of understanding opposed to a measure of skill.

AH WONCE GOT 38 KILLS IN OHNE GAYM AS WAWREWICK, AH MUST BE THE NEEW HAWTSHAWT

First of all I like to think I am smart. My job requires a fair of intellectual capacity. Trying to insult my intelligence doesn't really seem warranted. I don't play at 2000+ ELO nor do I play in tournaments. I play in Solo Q and mostly unranked. A majority of players do actually play at that level. There's a reason it's called high ELO. It doesn't make me any less serious though. Riot really should value a majority of players not just the tournament elites.

I play enough Solo Q and watch enough tournament plays to guess that most players able to exploit Gragas to such an extent that he becomes ungankable are very few in numbers. We're talking about the top percentage of Gragas players. An adjustment of the mana I would also argue that it further diminishes the use of Gragas as anything other than AP or tanky AP. It's a shame really because I liked his potential as tanky support.

Lastly, about Alistar, I hardly doubt his strength being an Alistar-player myself. But I hardly think the Headbutt is the single most important issue. In fact considering that it's fairly glitch to use and target in the first place without when you have low move speed I'm not sure if it's even a needed nerf. I'm waiting and seeing though. My initial thought was that it was unwarranted.

sorry to insult your actual intelligence, just intended to tell you that your in game knowledge is a little off. gragas' e currently costs 50 mana. that is one of the cheapest spells on an ap in the game, not to mention the cd on his ESCAPE is a 7 second cd. only the top gragas players can abuse it? it doesnt take skill to escape a gank as gragas in the shortest lane in the game with a 600 range dash on a 7 second cd that costs almost 1/3 of your other skills (even when you are oom to fight, you still have mana to get away)and as long as his ap ratios and his upside as ap is so high, he will never be played as a tank. he will also not be played as a support due to such inconsistant help, and not having any way to protect anyone early on.

also, idk how you are playing alistar, but i have a 70% win rate with him in ranked and every game i get him i just think to myself how fucking stupid some of the things i can do are. i agree the headbutt is not exactly the best way to nerf him but like i said earlier SOMETHING had to be done as he brings to much to a team without sacrificing anything. im not sure how you can say the ability to tower dive at lvl2 is balanced.

You forgot to add the part where Riot buffed Gragas not too long ago.

Do you guys think this nerf on diana is significant enough to put her all the way down like zyra or like the darius nerf where they made him just not go crazy and kill everyone????

That was not a nerf on ezreal....

Oh My God Arcade Sona!!!!!!!!!!

Funny, been trying Diana this week and her Q is incredibly strong for poking, but I think the base damage nerf was enough; lowering the ratio is a bit overkill I'd say.

R nerf seems fine, since you should be using your Q in conjunction anyway, and I'd almost argue it makes CDR more valuable on her.

I play her mid, but in jungle is the HP5 drop really that detrimental?
