Okay now you’re just cherry picking.
Aatrox has tons of elements of his old kit: He still has a knock up, he still has a dash, obviously the sustain, his ult is still some sort of steroid and he still has a slow in his kit.
Sure his playstyle changed but so did ALL of those champions. His concept of AAing was awful design and should never comeback. He was THE STAT CHECK champion.

It’s not like they don’t come with tradeoffs.
I’m not gonna defend Pyke’s bonus gold from ult because it is bullshit, but I will say that he can’t exactly gain hp from items which means he’ll perpetually be squishier than most champions and considering he has to go in to do stuff..
Also he doesn’t build traditional support items which are cheaper compared to most other items, so it makes sense that he has ways of getting more gold.
Senna doesn’t gain ad from leveling, it’s pretty much entirely from those stacks which she has to work for. If she decides to go ad her items are significantly more expensive so she had tradeoffs as well.

Thoughts on Anivia being able to repress her q even when cc’d?
Champions like Irelia and Zoe are able to use their second cast when cc’d or even Zhonya’d but Anivia can’t. It’s a very minor buff that would help her feel much better

Ivern’s ability to queue his passive on monsters while dashing is very glitchy.
Basically, you q to a monster, repress q to dash, and then click on the camp as your dashing to queue to throw the passive on. This’ll cause Ivern to dash, start putting the passive but fail and then you have to wait a second or two to attempt to apply the passive again. It’s important to note however that if you q, click on the camp to dash and then click again while dashing to queue the passive it’ll work correctly. It’s very annoying as someone who represses q.
If you press e while recalling on Twisted Fate it’ll cancel is recall. Unsure if this applies to other champions with a constantly on ability (thinking Teemo)

I feel they've made her more balanceable, though at the expense of playstyle changes that still leave some Taliyah players, or former Taliyah players, disappointed with her. I think that's better than her persisting in a non balanceable state and just being kept extremely weak for most players. It's not an example of an ideal solution though certainly.
As a Taliyah player I appreciate this response.
It’s very true that me and a lot of other Taliyah players are unhappy with her current state and have dropped her since her rework.
My main gripes (and many others), are the removal of the aoe q, worked ground movespeed, and making her a burst mage. She’s largely lost her identity since her release and is really in need of a mini-rework ala shaco.

When someone acts the way this guy did he shouldn’t be treated with kindness and respect.
He deserved to be treated harshly because what he did wasn’t okay. Even if he’s sorry, it doesn’t take back what he said. What he needs to do is move forward by growing and getting help so he doesn’t ever act this way again.
By treating him with kindness you are telling him that it’s okay to act the way he did.
If he doesn’t want to be treated harshly in the future then he needs to not act the way he did ever again. For now though, based off what he did when OP made the post, he shall not receive any remorse for an action this extreme.

If the guy had just harassed OP by calling him names or whatever, sure, people make mistakes and he’s sorry.
But this guy, after seeing OP’s post on the boards, WENT OUT OF HIS WAY to add this random guy and then THREATENED TO KILL HIS WHOLE FAMILY. He even tried to scare OP by saying he can trace his IP and what not. This guy doesn’t know OP in ANY way.
A sane person would not do that, this guy clearly has issues and just by saying “sorry” over and over doesn’t excuse or make his actions even REMOTELY okay.
This guy needs help, and banning him from League is a good way to tell him that he has issues and needs to find help.
Tell me, would you go up to someone and threaten to kill their whole family? Can you honestly tell me that’s a perfectly normal “mistake” to make??
If you’re honestly trying to defend this guy, then you really need to re-evaluate your morals because you may have something mentally wrong with you as well.

The main problem with rageblade is that it’s allowing true damage to double up. I.e Vayne and Yi.
Why not make it so True damage on-hits aren’t affected by Rageblade? Kayle already kinda works this way.
Otherwise the nerf is going to cripple on-hit champions like Kog and Kaisa, and they’re already not at the top of the ladder.

This is pretty cool actually. Couple questions though!
Currently, when the ult is used the passive you’re removing goes away as well until it’s back on cooldown. Is that still the case?
As well, is there a cooldown on the lightnight strikes? For instance, he can’t waveclear super fast with infinite strikes can he?
Is there a range after marking someone? I.e if they dash away from Blitzcrank will the mark still hit? Do go along with that, can it be dodged?
Super cool change actually!

I got quite a lot of feedback on the Kennen VFX update, and one thing kept cropping up consistently. A lot of players weren't satisfied with his new E. People thought it looked a bit static, and felt like it was fulfilling a different fantasy.
I want to cover what the aim of changing it was: to add gameplay clarity. I wanted to make sure the range was clearly indicated, and I want to avoid losing Kennen's silhouette entirely. Additionally, it was too bright before, and I wanted to move it away from just pure white.
With this context in mind, please let me know what you think of this update to Kennen's E. I've given him a really quick run animation in a ninja pose so that he doesn't look static, and I've shifted the shape of the VFX back to being closer to the original. Is this better than the first version?
Additionally, would you want this applied to super kennen? Or would you like super kennen to keep the VFX it had in the first preview video, so that you can see his pose better?

Please reconsider those Zyra nerfs. The mana changes will hit mid Zyra much harder than support Zyra.
A better nerf would be the previous set of nerfs, which is lowering the amount of e damage. It lowers her overall burst and allows players slightly more time to fight back in botlane.
If you hit her mana Regen, you’ll be hurting Zyra mid and hitting Zyra support. Currently, what makes Zyra mid possible is the amount of mana she gets because she is able to skip getting a mana item. If you hit her mana Regen, you’ll force her to get a mana item. Burst isn’t part of her play style. She isn’t casting enough spells to warrant archangels. And she doesn’t need the slow was Hextech glp when rylais is infinitely better.

I think it's largely due to people feeling like the can relate to the Champion. Many people feel they can relate to human characters and so they like them more. If you take it one step further you will see that even among the humans more people are drawn to the "normal" humans. or humans that don't have god like powers, since that is even more relatable. Lee Sin, Yassuo, Jhin, Akali, Miss Fortune are all extremely popular and they all share the fact that they are not only humans but humans without any super powers, they all just got to be Champions from being super bad ass humans, rather then from some magical gift or godly power.
Do you think it’s for that reason that MF is so popular?

> They are definitely working on it. As I see it the problem is they prefer to put out other game modes (I would call them "fillers" e.g. nexus blitz) more and they don't really satisfy those players who are looking for a competitive team oriented play. Truth to be told there wasn't much of that in last few years. That's why most of those players are gone by now and others are quitting daily.
Keep in mind different people do different things.
The actual problems with clash is server side, completely unrelated to gameplay.
Nexus blitz has everything to do with gameplay/designers.

Kalista, along with Ryze and Azir, is a champ we're not working on for a while. That reflects that we feel we've sunk too much time into those three champs over the years and that the amount of further time needed now would create a bigger overall improvement to the game if we spent it on other champs. Realize that sucks if you play or want to play one of those three, but do feel it's the right overall call.
Ivern wise, would have to disagree that he's weak. Certainly some things about him that are a bit cumbersome, Daisy controls especially IMO, but don't think power's his main issue.
There are so many usability buffs that Ivern’s should have.
You should be able to command Daisy to stand still rather than always being in attacking mode.
Or allowing Ivern to buffer his autos/passive while revealing via q.
Lots of these would help him feel so much better to play.

Long term we think it'd be good to allow marksmen some more flexibility in which positions they play. First priority for us though is to address some issues with them in their existing position. Particularly interested though in things that potentially help with both, like the starting MR example mentioned above. Would also want to try and avoid changes that made them effective in other positions but ended up pushing them out of bot. Generally we see players stick to positions more than they move with champions so a champ becoming only effective in a position you don't play can be pretty painful for existing players.

If he sets a goal for the game to go in but the designers do a poor job of executing it, how is that his fault?
He also said that he did play it. He just said that he felt that someone doesn’t need to play the game in order to do a good job balancing it, sure it helps but it’s not necessary.
He gave the analogy of someone making a plane. They know how to make the plane, but probably don’t know how to fly it.
So again, stop trying to blame Ghost Crawler when it’s not his fault.

Lead gameplay designer was Meddler. He oversaw the game balance while Scruffy was the lead champion designer who oversaw all reworks/new champions.
What GhostCrawler did was put down the direction the game should be headed in. So, if he wanted comebacks to be more achievable, someone on the design team might implement bounties to make that happen.
