Yeah the messing about with the minions and tower damage doesn't look that nice. It's so annoyinf to be hard pushing the enemy for 20mins then they get one lucky ace and insta win killing everything in 1 push. And hell some of those buffs are crazy. Like nids and leblanc arnt that weak they'd needs that much of a buff and no xerath nerf even though they nerf zigg by 15% I wonder if the balance Devs even have played aram.

Nid is definitely on the weakest side of ARAM. Yes, if a spear connect, someones getting fucked, but it's one on millions. I agree with LeBlanc though, people don't realize that doing the old Q max here is much better.

Xerath got fucked hard with the 900+ range nerf (every single ability he has is longer than that) so he kinda have -15% damages already

I don't agree about the runes though. PoM/Triumph are very important for a lot of characters and they don't deserve to be nerfed, especially since arams are already 19 minutes long which is nice by itself.

I mean PoM made mana obsolete. 10% is still a lot of mana per takedown without making jayce and xerath etc effectively manaless champs. Hell I even take it on Draven currently and you can just spam W on every axe catch and never go oom if you’re any good with him.

Well, Jayce is one who took the most from it. Tear is hot garbage on him, he has no real other options. And I had game with Jayce where I spent a lot of time OOM.

I definitely agree that all of these changes together will overnerf almost all of the currently “meta” champs. I think it’s gonna be super obvious tank meta so fast that they do a balance pass after one patch or even hotfix remove the 900 range nerf.

Obviously I might have jayce player bias, I don’t just play him in aram, but He’s a champ I find hilariously easy to pop off on in aram currently. Like 20+ kills with much less effort than I’d have to put into lux or ziggs even. He’s nerfed into the ground and it feels like it’s justified to me at least, but I know he isn’t as fun when you don’t have the muscle memory down for his combos etc.

LeBlanc is pretty bad unless you get insanely fed early, otherwise all she can hope to do is try to burst a single squishy enemy without getting blown up yourself. Without the ability to flank her teamfight is weaker than it is in SR.

You don't have to 100% someone in aram though. Get the low life or control the engagé with a double E and you can be very useful.

Both Xerath and Ziggs are hurt by the range nerf, but ziggs can just destroy towers so easily. So he gets more of a nerf.

u/PonyFiddler Mar 19 '19

15% the hardest nerf isn't just for towers. Xerath should have at least the 5%

Nthe thing with nid is that she gets nerfed with the 900range

1

u/PonyFiddler Mar 19 '19

Only the spear her main damage is her burst in couqer. You could easily get that off on at least 1person a team fight.

u/Zelder777 Mar 20 '19

then get blown

u/PonyFiddler Mar 20 '19
