riot weird balancing

all of the characters theyre nerfing are good, but i dont feel like theyre broken. imo everyone else should have been buffed closer to their level, instead of decreasing the overall power level of the game.

This shit can be said when riot almost literally makes ults 12 points and it still would hold “true” if it is true rn

I think they're trying to reduce visual clutter and increase the skill floor in terms of macro

A lot of teams and players have gotten really good at managing their ult economy to the point that they can basically ult once every round for 6 rounds in a row. Maybe they want to make it feel more special and risky to waste them

as for sova nerfs, i guess they want set executes to have a smaller window to be executed

the post says "the changes are sharply focused on increasing game state clarity" and that they want the util to be "less time in the world" so thats the main goal

Basically, no one knows what is happening when a Viper Ult and two KJ Ults are down at the same time

We needed KJ slight nerf, Skye slight nerf, maybe Breach deserved one to. With some getting buffs (DEADLOCK, Cypher, Gekko etc.) But they just went all out Jett wasn’t even most played duelist this tournament and most maps cater towards Raze anyway. Astra didn’t need a buff and was viable as is, and with Breeze coming back we get this huge Viper nerf? Fuck Rito

I think it's fine. Pros getting more and more use to abusing util ult and combos. They're just realizing it and nerfing util.

Did riot really reduce jett updraft to 1 just to combat the updraft knife spots

It's also to reduce the escape chances. In 2021, people only considered the dash to be an escape ability, but as the game has aged, pros and ranked players have figured out how to use the updrafts to escape (and even the smokes). They want to change both the double updrafts and the escape potential.
