Here's my suggestion for a Health-only first buy item for tanks that juggernauts/fighters wouldn't be able to abuse. As you can see from the votes it hasn't gone off well. But that might be because of the passive I gave it. https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/Ec7Lwn2A-a-first-item-for-top-lane-tanks?show=flat&page=1

As Illaoi, you should hardly be afraid. You heal whenever a tentacle hits someone, even if it just hits the spirit. You're being way too passive if you're turret hugging as a juggernaut. Doesn't mean push up, but don't be afraid to fight.

: Not sure if the definition changed some time since the Juggernaut update years ago, but juggernauts then like Darius, Illaoi, Yorick, Udyr, Nasus, etc. had the following qualities: High damage potential High durability via tankiness and/or sustain Limited or situational crowd control **Limited mobility** That last one is bolded for a reason; while juggernauts can be raid bosses in teamfights, their lack of mobility in most circumstances means they can be kited and weakened substantially beforehand. This is especially true for Illaoi and Darius, who have no innate move speed steroid or disengage (Illaoi can somewhat engage with W). Mordekaiser is no different in this regard, and honestly the way his ult works now is actually a bit refreshing direction for juggernauts in general; as opposed to being an early game lane bully that punishes your top for having the jungle gank them (Darius, Illaoi, maybe Urgot) or a late game split pushing god (Nasus, Yorick), Mordekaiser seems to be very much a juggernaut that capitalizes on 1v1s.

: Considering I dont play Fizz much if at all (only decided to try him out a little because of the changes to his damage mitigation) and the fact that tool tips exist to provide some clarity without having to use the practice tool to test it out, assuming this may be the case (as I mentioned the tooltip specifically given that the champion information on this site is still outdated with the basic attack version and the wiki literally says 'permanently ghosted') is not unreasonable; even if everything works as normal, someone new to playing as Fizz would not know he has that passive due to the lack of the tooltip unless they do research. Also, as far as true damage goes, yes; I'm well aware that true damage never gets reduced, even by undefined damage mitigation. Which, as I mentioned in the OP, is an issue as far as overall mechanics for League of Legends go, not just for Fizz or Leona due to their recent changes. Given the prevalance of true damage nowadays, this might be something to consider.
The Ecdysiast (NA)
in > Why was Fizz given a net nerf?
No, it's completely reasonable because you didn't see anywhere in the patch that it was removed, and it was not removed. We aren't talking about someone new. We're talking about level 123 Takadama, who should know better than to think it's more than a tooltip bug, and should know to test it if he/she doesn't see that it was removed on the patch notes. It's not an issue for Fizz or Leona, because their old reduction didn't stop it either.

His old passive didn't reduce true damage either. NOTHING reduces true damage, even self-inflicted damage reduction like Gargoyle's Stoneplate's active. (which is why Cho was a monster before they changed how it scales the HP) They probably just forgot to write the ghosted part when they rewrote his passive. Because it still works perfectly fine. So that "nerf" you're complaining about doesn't actually exist. In the future, could you at least go through the effort of the literally one minute it takes to go into practice tool and check?

That's just how it is. Until they realize it's not fair to do that, and remove the autofill function, the most likely outcome is either your support or ADC is autofilled. Since those are the two least popular roles.

Adaptive Helm would go a long way to help against it. And the answer is: because he's a juggernaut. By design, they aren't supposed to be possible to 1v1 because of their stats. That's not really a reasonable class design for a PvP game, but Riot seems to think it is--- despite the fact any time one of them has been strong enough to be played in pros they've absolutely dominated.

Maybe because this is a game and if you take insults from strangers you've never met, who have never met nor even seen your family, seriously, you aren't fit to be playing _any_ online games. Hence, it takes a bit more than one game to get punished for it. Because the "victims" either can't possibly be effected by it enough to stop playing, or need serious psychological help themselves if they are.

What sort of discussion are you promoting with your lazy post. Fine, since you can't seem to understand something if it isn't spelled out to you: Not a single one of your suggestions is original. They have all been though of and posted since season 2. If any of them were implemented, it has the potential to completely alienate a large chunk of the playerbase. Anyone who isn't new would know the that. They've made jungle changes nearly every season, aside from this one. An older player would know that. Items are specifically designed for the champions that build them. ADC's aren't _supposed_ to have assassin strength early on. Anyone who isn't new would know that. In this game, ADC's are designed and balanced specifically around the fact that Support is a _bottom lane_ role. This isn't HOTS. Anyone who isn't new would know that. Enforcing roles wouldn't prevent trolling. It would simply get us seeing more AP Twitch's. Anyone who isn't new would know that. You want a fruitful discussion, don't repost suggestions that you didn't bother checking up on before making the thread.

This isn't right at all. If you're the ADC, your job is to deal damage to whoever you can while staying safe. Focusing down priority targets is the job of your assassin, diver, or mage. And avoiding champions who are behind is exactly how they kill you and get back into the game.

It wouldn't be fair to give an ADC their own AoE lockdown. I just don't see why Blitz or Renekton needs a shield break. Nor do I see why Kled needs GW. That was more the point on why I made this thread. Besides, it's not wholly unreasonable on MF because her E has a cost of 80 at all levels, only 20 behind her ultimate. And Make it Rain's cooldown is 18 (before CDR) until she finally has nothing else to put points into. Lowest it will get is 10 at rank 5 (6 seconds with 40% cdr) and that's only when she hits level 18. If you can help me understand why those champions needed those major buffs, that'd be great. Oh, and "Riot wants Top Down Call of Duty" isn't enough. Call of Duty didn't make a bunch of pistols suddenly have grievous wounds because they weren't effective enough.

Because they're not major buffs. They're buffs to strengthen them against champs they're already supposed to counter, but were still struggling against. Same with the Poppy and Cass buffs. It is wholly unreasonable to give her something in her own kit that completely removes the need to time and position your own ultimate properly. That'd be like making Ashe's, Ezreal's, or Jinx's ults the same range and damage, but also targeted.

You don't think being an actual bird of prey instead of a half-assed magic bird would be cool? And I've made full concepts for Wolf _myself_. The one about Yi's boots was a joke.

The icon kinda shows your bias. The most important similarity between the champions is that they're all melee. It wouldn't be fair to give an ADC their own AoE lockdown.

It was taken off of Maokai because he completely dominated with it. It was taken off Maokai because they reworked him. They wanted to give him a lane wide root and it would only fit as an ultimate ability.

They wanted to rework him because that ultimate was overpowered, not outdated. That was the only ability they changed much. It was the _reason_ they reworked him, not removed _because_ of the rework. They didn't want to give him the root and just decide it had to be an ult. They wanted to get rid of that ult and decided it would be the root.

It's simply that a _balanced_ version of that kit _belongs_ in the jungle. You cannot make a version of that kit that's not either underpowered or overpowered and still have it be a top laner. The iteration right before his rework was pretty balanced. Both players basically had to play around bloodwell, and the one that did it better, basically won. And while he had an amazing early and mid game, he did fall off lategame, as he normally wouldn't be able to dps down a front line fast enough, or get to the back line and survive long enough to kill anyone
The Ecdysiast (NA)
in > Bring back the Old Aatrox but not at the cost of the Current Aatrox
No, it was seeing win rates of 53-56% across the board. That time period is the _main_ example of his kit being "either underpowered _or overpowered_". And the average length of games overall has gone done, let alone the length of games in high ELO. Yeah, if the entire Aatrox team was doing poorly besides him, he would "fall off", but otherwise the game was won before that.

A team wide damage reduction aura cannot be on an item. It was taken off of Maokai because he completely dominated with it.

At this point, you can lose your mind, or quit the game. I don't care. The hate speech isn't necessary. And in fact, what the screenshot you provided says is only additional proof they _aren't_ gay. At best, it's the "any port in a storm" excuse. Unless you're so homophobic that you'd make the claim it's a _choice_ based on _circumstance_.

Have you even read? Because them being friends wasn't my reason at all. Otherwise, I would think the same for Jarvan and Garen. There's just as much _nothing_ hinting at them being lovers as there is between Garen and Jarvan. Like OP, you're reading between lines where there's only blank space.
