At some point we have to have a conversation around August’s champ designs. Quite baffling that she’s allowed to exist in this state. 53% wr in plat + with 39% banrate. Nobody enjoys playing against this Gen V’d Master Yi+Warwick but every nerf seems to be a wrist tap.

    Its called “poor design”, something riot august and other devs are very good at.

    Well until they remove Lethality completely from her builds she’s always going to be this steam rolling burst assassin instead of a sustain fighter.

    This is what happens when a new champion comes out towards the end of the season and Riot doesn’t need to nerf it for pro play.

    K’Sante in his current state will also just be 100% pick ban status when pro play starts up again in January. It’s so dumb man.

    It’s even worse than that. Riot nerfed her at first because Lethality was insanely broken on her (and still is super strong) so they kept nerfing her to bring Lethality up on par with Bruiser.

    But here is the problem…they actually nerfed Bruiser, Lethality rn is the only viable option on her. Stridebreaker and Goredrinker has gone under 50% winrate (was 53-52% before). They actually did the complete opposite of what they tried to achieve.

    Riot: “we do not want champions to have point and click CC abilities”. Also Riot”: releases Briar
