Sports are physical in nature. Games are more mental. E-sports are video games with a proper competitive scene.
Some people call Billiards a sport, it's not, it's a mental game, similar to chess. Nascar is (supposedly) an endurance sport.

Uh... I've been using it on her since release. Comet just feels useless to me outside of lane phase on anyone that isn't a siege mage. I may not be right, but that's how I feel about it.
2nd half of E + Q + auto. Q + Auto + W ticks (I don't actually know if damage items count to electrocute, but that certainly does).
More popping potential. An easier time forcing squishies out of the fight or outright killing them.

Something I learned about Kayle: Unlike every other champ in the game she gets mana while her ult is out. I had a game where a Kayle with RFC and SOS had her ult on basically full time. That needs to change. But most level 2 5g units are going to be OP.
Most of the problem with this game is the RNG in the traits. Dodge chance on yordles, freeze chance on glacials, etc. There has to be RNG in drop types and shop offers, but there doesn't have to be RNG in trait payoffs. Or round 1 gold drops. I get 3 gold and an item and someone else gets up to 4 items? Yes I've gotten 4 items from round 1 before!
The big problem with glaical is the synergies it has with its units. Voli can chain stun entire teams and Ashe with a single AS item can permastun a target all game long, especially if she gets Ranger buff. AND it's even got a class item so you can put it on, say, Lucian with a runans and SoS and just chain stun everyone with that.
Also a new problem I've noticed is Warmogs on Gnar/Shyv. I played against a 3 item gnar yesterday that had warmogs and 12000 HP!
Personally I haven't really found demons (the class) or nobles to be particularly problematic, outside of the early game domination nobles gets from all of their early picks. And while the demon buff hasn't been very impressive the units are pretty silly. I've seen Aatrox and Eve win rounds on their own.

Unfortunately theres not much they can do to differentiate troll picks from 'off meta attempts.'
Of course when the ghost/cleanse nunu snowballs into the enemy tower a few times THEN they can take action. But they can't ban weird picks or builds because _that is not bannable or reportable by itself, because it's not always trolling_

A shame its a more painful experience to play top lane, than it is to neuter yourself with a cheese grater.

They think loss prevention would lead to abuse, and more wintrading.
They are concerned a compensation mechanic would increase toxicity. "Alt f4, we're better off with a bot than you"
Which is hilarious, considering how toxic the game already is. Once a glass is so filthy you can't drink from it, what's a little more dirt?
Although I REALLY hope they don't go the bot route. It's horrible in HotS, and would be worse here since you know they wouldn't implement the 'tether ping' mechanic. It's practically gold gen for the enemy team...

And all it takes is EXACTLY 2 Negs, 2 BFs, 3 spatulas, and 3 gloves. Plus exactly 4 specific units and 3 other locked in subtypes.
There are plenty of 'stars align' comps more OP than this. But you'll need to be more realistic with your expectations. You might get 2 mittens. But you probably won't even get that in most games. Hell, it's incredibly impractical to pull off 4 ninja...

Well Lulu yells ADORABUS! whenever it's cast, and windwall is EXTREMELY forgiving. Either he was far enough away to react to the sound, or he threw it on top of you whenever he knew he was about to touch you. Because OF COURSE you would try to poly him if he jumps you.

{{champion:157}} really needs level 2 to be useful. Exile scales with stats. I think one problem I see is no one builds health on him. That's how his passive scales, {{item:3748}} to the rescue.
{{champion:34}} is next, without AP items she does no damage, she doesn't go well with the Glacial typing. Her savior is {{champion:127}} matching her typing meaning you only need these 2 and another elementalist to reach her full potential. Of course then you get rekt by dragons...
{{champion:21}} ults an almost dead target on the side? Congratulations she stunned herself. She also shows up too late for Pirate to be particularly useful, even tho paired with {{champion:41}} and {{champion:104}} she gets a lot of synergy going.
{{champion:80}} will live and die by the strength of his types. If guardian is weak he will be too. Plus he's lacking a lot of cross-synergy with his other units. Still, with {{item:3075}} {{item:3083}} and Dragon up, combined with the fact that (someone tell me if I'm wrong) he still gets Warmogs regen in the air would make him nearly unkillable.
{{champion:10}} ult is just silly good, even if the champ suffers a bit of an identity crisis. Great synergy with {{champion:86}} + Noble.
{{champion:50}} I haven't had a lot of experience with but I could see him becoming a true monster if built around. Gunblade + Transform health + Imperial buff = won round. And he's even got demon synergy, which is super strong in general, AND and he shares it with Elise. A simple core of Elise+Darius+Swain and either Shyv+ASol or Jayce+Hextech is a very scary setup.
{{champion:30}} at level 2 with a deathcap and Sorcerer 1 literally oneshot the enemy backline in the 1v1 fest in a recent game I had. Plus I've been LOVING Phantoms lately. The only downside is his ult has a tendency to get interrupted if he doesn't get a Seraphs and Sorcerer buff...

I know I'm starting to sound like the normal game boards, but please don't buff Yasuo.
His exclusion from guardians comes with the benefit of a much better defensive steroid that has no other asks. Plus he still can benefit from aura items since they reach 2 tiles. And stacking HP items on him is way better than raw damage because of his passive. This isn't league it's TFT, TFT yasuo has no crit effects. He's a bruiser here. What a crazy Convergence we live in, right Kass?

I don't really think it's ALL a Riot problem as much as it's a top problem with what the lane is 'supposed' to be. The melee lane. Keeping ranged options out of what's supposed to be the melee lane is hard. You could just make D Shield melee only and buff the hell out of it, and then Assassins take it for a free lane phase in mid, or Yas bot lane becomes a thing again. They COULD make Klepto better on melee than range and that would solve a lot of current and future problems, but it won't help the bullying.
{{item:3161}} was a horrible mistake that riot needs to take back. But they won't. Riot never goes back on mistakes, they only go back on the good calls like the Riven 'overnerf'. Riven is a product of Worlds Balance, where riot annually ruins their game for it's players to put on a slightly better show.
But lets not pretend top is all that special. One or more lanes is plagued by overtuned champs/items/runes/misc SINCE THE GAME BEGAN! The game has far too many factors for it to ever be balanced.

Color and concept wise it would probably be too similar to Dragon Sorceress to see proper implementation. The coloration is almost exactly the same ({{champion:117}} purple {{champion:117}}). Obviously Q would be similar in appearance to Vel's W.
It mostly comes down to how you do her plants. If you have little void critters popping up through portals you end up too similar to Drag. It could just be tentacles, snappers and shooters...
If you went Dark Star you could make mechanical-like constructs pop up. Different star types And Dark Star has a lot more black in it's color scheme.

Nothing you said makes sense.
Old Sightstone was only ever bought on supports and wardhoppers. Pinks still exist, and ordinary wards were replaced by their free variant {{item:3340}}, that typically sees a lot more use.
And it's forced on EVERYONE. And if they aren't using it they CERTAINLY wouldn't be using the paid wards or a sightstone. That's a player problem not a game problem.

A lot of hyper carries have had decent lane phases when played well. If you were passive with Jax you were in a world of hurt, but if you played him aggressively (as long as you did it correctly) you still took over hard in the midgame. It's been that way with Vayne too since well before the recent meta, and Veigar since his mini rework. He could ALWAYS blow you up level 6 if you didn't get MR and got caged. GP is only relevant early into certain matchups or with a massive skill difference.
Kog is more of a statement on soloQ than hypercarries. Once again, Kog has something that can carry his lane, his W range.
Nasus's R change was a horrible mistake. {{item:3161}} was as well, on more than just Jax. Kayle is going to be (has? Has the rework gone live yet IDR) moved away from the hypercarry or bust setup.

Riot turned to ARURF because everyone started picking the same OP stuff.
The problem is that in such a volatile mode (and the SR map as a whole) is that it pretty much always ends in 'the team who rolls more of the OP champs wins'. And the mode feels way worse than the 16 champ pool we used to have.

I think the ASol rework is a a good one on paper. After playing it I might change my mind but until then...
He can still roam, he can just be punished for it a little more. His E range got buffed, still lets him bypass walls and wards, he just doesn't have the MS buff to shave lots of time from returning.
He still has a high uptime on his W at higher ranks. 2s CD at rank 5 without CDR. And now it has a MS buff to help reposition and kite away from someone jumping on you.

I imagine flexibility is a must. Every time I go in with a game plan I stick too hard with, I get starved by the shop because other people are also grabbing what I want. Go in planning for yordles? 3 other players have Tristana too. Rangers? Oh that guy has a level 3 varus, that's where it all went. Know when to jump ships.
Also there IS RNG, even in low placements. And you aren't doing PvE where a victory is assured if you do it right. Sometimes you aren't the a top 4 player in that group of 8. Sometimes someone just gets better buys, and are good enough to see a good buy when they get one.
