They have consistently nerfed mana/mana regen and surrounding items whenever mages are able to get functionally infinite mana too easily. There's nothing unusual about this, and as an immobile mage main, I'm excited to maybe actually have some lane interaction in my life now.

Suppression was created as an exception to tenacity and cleanse in the first place, for cases where an ability needed to be at a static duration and/or was too integral to a champion's kit to let it be countered in champ select.

From the matchmaking to the ingame mechanics. The fact you are now saying something shows you just need to ADAPT to it. Team based games always have a large degree of RNG due to players alone. As a freelance statistician, I disagree with you and I believe there is a problem with RNG in League of Legends. Riot now tends to the biggest eSport in the world. It is a game that can be played casually with or without RNG, but competitive League is what has allowed this game to grow and what often makes it so captivating to watch as well as play. So what could go wrong with RNG? Consider the economic principle of marginal analysis, which in this context can mean that the smaller some sort of margin between two teams, the more that little things matter to an outcome between the two teams. Say two pro teams, hypothetically, are equal in skill, or are at least equal by a certain point in the game, and a teamfight will swing the advantage. A close teamfight could be won with a certain random proc, like Zoe picking up a support's Redemption. People will later be able to see that RNG won that fight, and skill did not matter for the losing team in the end. I believe it would cause community disillusionment towards competitive League. That's why RNG is bad. It does not even have to do with matchmaking or skill because essentially nobody except the very top 0.001% have decent overall skill. But when you inject RNG in competitive context, what happens to the 99% that are watching? Are they incentivized to increase their skill when they know BS like that can happen? I'm certainly not incentivized to grind in Hearthstone because of all the RNG. I'm implying that there might be a ripple effect down the ladder, no matter how random matchmaking is. I think that Runes Reforged is actually a good thing that Riot implemented to make the game more accessible (less expensive) to new players, but I think they should remove RNG procs.
Wheatloaf (NA)
in > Please stop throwing RNG into a competitive game.
If Zoe picked up the support's redemption during a fight, nothing RNG happened. The support used their own redemption, dropped a bubble, and their team let Zoe get to it.

They could all tell I had no fucking idea what I was actually doing. They knew I didn't belong- but I didn't know that at the time. Now I know. Riot put me there and I got flamed all the way from silver 2 down to bronze. Is it my fault I was put where I didn't belong? No. Is it riot's fault? Absolutely. They placed me into a toxic scenario and I ruined tons of games for people and deserved not to get banned- but certainly demoted. You know what? It would've made my game experience MUCH better as well. Flame happens for a reason. Fix those reasons and it will greatly dull down.

Definitely. But leaving the flame to itself while you go after the root issue isn't ideal either; I much prefer them going after it from both angles, especially because flaming isn't something we'll get rid of entirely unless a shift in the mindset of society far beyond the scope of League happens.

Flame is often the result of something. In my experience its usually feeding, though its often also when someone makes a bad play and then starts blaming. Which is why jungles often get flamed. What I'm getting at is, why did the person get flamed. If it was their play, well call it even I guess. If its not legit- well thats not cool. I find often lately that we're focusing on the flame, instead of the root issue. A player feeds 0/6 in 10 minutes, making the game really hard for the rest of his team- I don't think anyone should be surprised when he gets flamed. Hes causing all of his teammates to have a much greater chance of losing the game. Granted flame helps nothing- but we shouldn't be shocked it happens. We certainly can't stop it by just trying to snuff it. We have to stop the problem at the source. Boosting is just as toxic as a bad player. If someone is going 30/0 10 games in a row they should be jumped into a higher elo. They ruin games just like a feeder does. We need to be sure we're exploring all sides.

Spell Vamp isn't necessarily the answer, but it could be interesting to give mages *some* way of sustaining. As things stand, especially late-game, trading as a mage is strictly bad.

People seem so afraid of change, especially when they see "skill shots" involved, but they don't realize that that variance allows for greater reward in ways that weren't possible.

I was playing when they added the damage amp, I was playing when they took it away. I've never particularly thought of charm as the most iconic thing she has. My first thought when watching Rakan and Eve charm people isn't going to be "oh look, that thing only Ahri used to have," or "oh look, that CC that's so common it's on 3 whole champions". My first thought is going to be "oh look, that person's fucked". Maybe that's my fault for not being an Ahri main, but that's my 2 cents as someone that plays *against* Ahri.

: Zyra can be contentious so I want to preface this post with THIS IS ALL ENTIRELY MY PERSONAL OPINION AND DOES NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT THE OPINIONS OF OUR LIVE OR BALANCE TEAMS. First I'm not going to talk about Brand or V'K because I think, even if they're often played as support, we see a good number of them succeeding in mid as well. I think characters like them are merely a result of perception as opposed to actual lane to lane imbalances. We've seen similar things in the past with character like J4 (played in jungle for years even though he was winning more as a top laner) and Morg (played almost exclusively as support for a season, all while being a god-like midlaner) I think Zyra's case is special and comes down to asking the question "what is your kit actually good at?" Zyra to me has been a support since season 3 (when we gave them gold) because her kit isn't amazing at waveclearing and roaming for aggressive ganks (things midlaners love to do) and is much better at things like zoning opponents off the minion wave (which she can only do if she doesn't use her spells to waveclear), heavily punishing enemy engages, and following up on ally CC (things supports love to do). To me the problem with Zyra isn't in her kit or our balance strategies, it's in perception. We told players years ago "we're giving you a mid" but after a few months of Zyra and meta changes that wasn't what we were giving you. At that point she was potent as a support and we had to tune her for support. We could make Zyra a mid again, but IMO that's a DIFFERENT character at this point that would need some CHANGES (not just balance) to how her plants and E work . We'd need to realign her strengths. We recently did this with Malzahar and his voidlings, he's a mid again. It's possible to do that with Zyra, but right now she's a support and we balance her as one. We'd have to make the decision to change that. I personally caused some role confusion when I made Vi. [ If you watch Vi's spotlight](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vp3ZrRJz-ZY) you'll notice we told people she was a toplaner, but if you read her kit you'll quickly realize that what we actually released was a jungler. She could top for a while, but as we repeatedly nerfed her due to her power in jungle (the role her kit was actually suited for) she fell out of that position. Luckily, with Vi, there weren't a lot of people who got hurt by this shift. Hunting ADC's in top -----> hunting ADC's in jungle is not the worst transition. Carrying in mid ----> supporting a carry in bot feels a bit more painful. TLDR, I can feel your pain, but Zyra's kit is a support kit. IMO, if we want Zyra to mid, we'll need to change her kit a bit, but that might prove difficult given the reality of what plants are (temporary turrets that are way better when not used on the minion wave). **again this is all personal opinion and could be totally wrong**
Wheatloaf (NA)
in > Why do supports get nerfed when they see play outside of bot but adc's don't?

Conversely, Aurelion Sol might be able to "dash" across half the map but he's visible, has to build up a charge and any damage removes from him. Camille has to leap from a wall and if she's not aiming at a champion, the range is pretty damn short by comparison.

They're trying to use mobility more smartly in kits. In Camille's case, they gave her an interesting mobility tool. They also gave her the kitchen sink, which was/is the problem. Rakan is our first super-mobile support, which is neat. Galio got specials mechanics on his movement (pullback and inability to cross walls with E, ally-only targeting with Ult) to keep it from being too ridiculous. They are working to manage mobility creep, but they're not doing it by refusing to touch it as a mechanic. That would 100% reduce mobility creep, but mobility is annoying for reasons beyond it being so plentiful, and it's important they address those, too.

Alright, I know there's a *lot* of cdr on items, but calling it free when you literally have to pay for it is a little much.

Anyone that says tanks can't be played mid has been lying to you.

Ori has historically been one of the best-designed champions. However, as more and more champions are reworked and released, her inherent problems have become more and more pronounced. She's like a not-as-bs Azir; He was *the best* in every situation, whereas Ori is just *good* in every situation. She's still far from the most problematic champion in the game, but I'd expect her to be viewed less and less favorably in the future.
