    Quote from Mysnomer»

     LB art loses the subtle element of the mirror. I mean, yeah, it's a mechanically superior composition, but now there's nothing more than that. :I Whatever...

    Agreed.

    I'm a little confused here they buffed the ult range last patch, now their cranking it back down with a handful of nerds? What possessed them to buff it in the fiirst place?

    Master yis new art is a bit too shiny it looks nice don't get me wrong but his in game model is mostly black.

    You realize that this is what the pbe is for right? Make a tweak, test it out, make another tweak, test it out. They do this so that it will be as close to balanced as possible when it goes live.

    i understand that the PBE is for rapid fire tweaking but this is just schizophrenic, "buff it oh wait no, nerf it thats what we wanted" seems a bit odd.

    I don't think it's odd at all. They set the values, they tested it and it seemed a little weak so they buffed it and realized that the buff pushed it over the edge. 2800 vs 2550 is rather huge. Again, it's not schizophrenic because tweaking and retweaking is the purpose of the pbe.

    Yet another nerf to Nami. Riot hates supports so much, they nerf them 3 or 4 times even before they release.

    The problem is that supports can become overpowered AP carries if they are not careful. Hence the nerfs. Sona used to be able to carry AND support.

    That was because of Locket, not her skills.

    I agree, her base stats were awesome, hence the nerf bat coming to town on her. She can't even cry for help for gods sakes :)

    Sona can still do that. And AP Sona is pretty strong

    She can, but there are people  who scale so much better than she does. I mean you could AP, but why? Its like AP Master Yi. (Don't talk about Alex Ich, he doesn't count)

    Yet another nerf to Nami. Riot hates supports so much, they nerf them 3 or 4 times even before they release.

    Now wait, let's put in perspective that not long ago, Nami had a 2.65 total AP ratio as well as 610 base magic damage at level 9 on her single target ability burst damage. Around this point of the game, assuming you have 30 mpen and about 100 AP, this is definitely more than enough damage to bring a single squishy target from full health to nothing.

    Tell me that this wasn't hilariously OP, given Nami has not one, but THREE DISABLES in her kit, one of which is basically a fullscreen AOE nuke that knocks up and then slowed by 60% for 3 seconds, and then one of her other abilities was another AOE disable that basically stunned people for 2 seconds. And of course she also has an on-hit buff that apply a slow to enemies.

    Right, so remember that I said that Nami does 610 base magic damage at a 2.65 AP ratio at level 9?  On a SINGLE TARGET?  Now let me again point out that her ultimate is a fullscreen AOE basically, and her Q is another AOE disable that stuns people for 2 seconds.  Both these abilities had a .8 and .75 ratio respectively.
