Xdddd WHY ARE THEY GUTTING GHOST, IT USED TO BE 10 SECONDS AND RESET 4 SECONDS PER TAKEDOWN NOW THIS???

[@cephalonbob15]

just make it not as strong on ranged and give back the reset on takedown mechanic and it will be fine. Ghost rn is braindead as its a flat ms increase with no conditions that lasts 2 years. slap that on ADC's put them top and you get a stage 6 tumor. Make ghost 6 seconds, extends by 3-5 on a takedown, and only 50% as effective on ranged champion and it will be fixed. Flat nerfing it just makes champs that need it such as darius, garen, nasus,ksante, beyond bad. Nerfing all sources of tenacity doesn't help.

Cause being ahead with a bruiser makes you basically unstoppable. Being tanky is the one thing but dealing dmg while not ccable is unbelievable stupid. Keep in Mind: Merc Boots 30%, Steraks or either Wits End 20%, Prec Rune 20%, Stats runes 10% -> After calc (look up LoL fandom) it comes down to 60% Tenacity which makes lets say Morgana q (3s, one of the longest cc spells) to 1,2s. Thats why its being nerfed, thats straight up broken

[@Teknospacepotato]

I think that, if this lets them nerf cc, the tenacity nerfs are good. The point of cc is that it removes counter-play. Cc must be at least a certain length for many champions to function. Because of tenacity, RIOT has to make cc longer to compensate. This kind of makes tenacity a tax: either you buy it or the tank's abilities are plain OP.

[@EeveeRealSenpai]

Hopefully increase the cooldown on hard CC abilities.

[@markos50100]

@@Teknospacepotato Exactly. Thanks to the idiot that came up with legend tenacity, tenacity has become extremely abundant on basically every melee champ. You often go into teamfights with near 50% tenacity. How the heck are you supposed to balance hard CCs around some enemies reducing literally half of it? Well, riots answer was to just.. buff CC durations. I mean, CC doesnt matter on squishies, they die in half the CC duration anyway lol. Guess thats their logic.

ADC-Meta, simple as that.

[@vulgarity_9381]

most of these are reverts, this is just trying to see if their past game state was better than the current

[@TheSorrowfulAngel]

Cutting some runes that are simply bad for the game whenever they are meta. Tenacity creep is a real thing and a big problem. Makes balancing hard CCs impossible, cause you have to balance with 50% tenacity in mind. Lets hope for some good follow up on that. Tanks have had a big problem of not having great access to CDR. Alongside bruisers, tanks are probably the class in biggest need of cd reduction. They are trying to fix that, along with some work to their durability. ADC work looks rather experimental. I think they want to properly seperate on-hit and crit, give a bit more freedom in ADC builds, while also tuning their scaling to be "finished" at 4 instead of 5 items, maybe to alleviate how insane full build ADCs go? In any case, the intent here is hard to discern. Bruisers got a single item! As a bruiser main, I am so happy that I will still need to build lethality. Fun >.> They kinda seem to want dot mages to be able to stack dots again..? Its a weird addition. And lastly, it seems like they are just generally cutting some niche yet potentially problematic/design limiting effects - like summoner haste or item haste.

[@Sebastian-oz1lj]

looks like they think everyone will have better MS so they can dodge more spells so every spell deals more damage to be able to onesht if you misstep once and the same goes for CC spells but instead of more dmage they will just CC you long enough to die from other spells. so everything about Movment Speed

[@walkelftexasranger]

@@TheSorrowfulAngel It was 50% tenacity, because Riot overbuffed CC many many years ago. The endless cycle of we buff/nerf X thing because of Y thing, but now Y thing is weak so we have to buff it because X thing is strong...

[@AidanWR]

I'm always apprehensive when they remove tenacity. So many new champs have two types of CC in their kits, that some tenacity is needed. But when they remove multiple ways to get it, it really makes some game a slog by being CCed for 5 seconds. Especially since they keep releasing a lot of new champions with displacement CC, so tenacity does nothing to begin with

[@TheSorrowfulAngel]

Optimally, they remove tenacity so they can properly balance CC. Cant balance a CC reasonably when you have to keep in mind the rather common ~45% tenacity case. With 20% being common, you can land on much more reasonable CC numbers without tenacity completely fucking your durations up. Tenacity should go back to being a specific "counter" statt that you spec into instead of a pay-to-play stat for every melee champ in 80% of games.

[@Sebastian-oz1lj]

nerfed cc would be good IF overall damage in game would be much lower, now it makes no sense

@@Sebastian-oz1lj Isnt the correlation the other way around? Higher damage = lower time to kill = CC should be shorter. Lower damage = higher time to kill = CC should be longer.

Ah yes, the Adc meta Riot has been so desperately trying to force is finally arriving. The adc now have a lot of options and with tenacity almost gonne the tank and support and gonna peel super hard for them while the enemynis cced for an eternity. Meanwhile the adc just standing still hitting an enemy. Truly the hypest thing to see.

[@TheSorrowfulAngel]

I like a lot of the direction with the changes. Easy access and Tenacity bloat is a big problem for the game. It really, really fucks up balancing. As a bruiser(and really, melee champ), you basicallly need to run tenacity in 80% of games. Oftentimes, its even correct to double tenacity with treads+legend. In response, a ton of CCs got their duration improved. Cause many champs just don't quite work - on their own - vs tenacity being everywhere(especially when stacked). But buffing CCs is a really dumb way to combat this. This led to a lot of CCs being OP vs enemies without tenacity and Tenacity becoming a "pay to play" stat for many champs. That's a really undesirable state. Tenacity also interferes with comboing. Varus R is a good example of a place where CC is rather vital to properly combo an enemy. It also just fucks up CC-lock timings, which you have to relearn all the time. Lissandra is a good example of such a case. So, moving to a lower tenacity world with tenacity being generally less available is a good thing. I also like that Bruisers uniquely have the biggest access to tenacity in steraks - bruisers, as a class, have the biggest need for tenacity in the game. We can only hope that riot follows these changes up with across the board reduction to CC duration(especially at teamfighting stage, less so at lower levels). Many CCs should take as heavy a hit as 20-40%, imo. An interesting thing about tenacity is that, as it is a %decrease to CC duration, the difference between tenacity vs no tenacity is naturally lower on lower duration CCs. So while the percentage is the same, the absolute effect is decreased, meaning that even bigger nerfs on CC duration are not as big as they look at first.

how are you supposed to even queue toplane without being useless? no swiftie's, no tenacity, nerfed tank/bruiser items and buffed adc's, toplane's only purpose is solo carry because you provide nothing besides that, and they just hard nerfed it, toplane remains by FAR the most useless irrelevant low impact role, and the only fix riot gives is grubs, which simply causes your jg to skip a top gank to do grubs, or camp top to secure them, no inbetween. fix. the. role.

okay so like for ranged champions that go swifties, at level 15 they should go for zephyrs its a direct buff because they have the same movement speed, except its constant, and it provides attack speed, and the slow resist that it had before, They should have given each boot their own upgrade except symbiotic soles (since it upgrades passively) because at level 15, theres no reason to still have swiftness boots for any champion unless your melee, which even then, the slow resists helps more and the attack speed.
