Negaduck:

Well riot has said they won’t balance around dominion really. All champs will be balanced towards SR

They could definitely balance both games at once if they wanted to. With TT their only options for balancing the game were to change neutral creeps and make changes that would affect SR as well. With CS they can add Dominion-only items, change some existing ones, or mess around with the global Dominion aura…

It’s been said on forums that they are looking into changing how movement speed has diminishing returns and lowering the threshold for that on Dominion since movement speed is so strong in Dominion.

I just hope some characters don’t get hit so hard with the nerf bat for Dominion that they’re shit on SR for no reason.

Mundo flashbacks.

why does akali need a nerf?

lol trolling hopefully. She is stupid good and shouldn’t have that much sustain and damage at the same time. You literally have to counter pick her to stand a chance or else she will snowball out of control and your team will lose if played right. Always assuming equal competition of course I understand you can insert “well I have beat akali before using so and so” but the matter of the fact is she stomps way to many people.

the same could be said for any “insert assasin here”…ive seen plenty leblancs, kassadins, katarinas snowball, all assasins do it…people need to learn to play against them…

Sleazoid · 2011-10-03T08:43:41.000Z

none of those champs have sustain until they invest in spellvamp. akali gets spellvamp for free.

It’s not the playstyle that is what warrants the nerf, it is that she scales notably better than any of the other champs who fit into that playstyle.

Shadowcuz · 2011-10-03T09:09:03.000Z

Akali has like no cooldowns on her shit compared to the other assassin. Spell Vamp is just the icing.

r00ster22 · 2011-10-03T11:12:49.000Z

There is no need to explain it here if you want I can simply show you GN: BabyGrenades

On other news was watching IEM and thought it was stupid that they decide the tie breaker by time of all things. SK looked the least impressive but won their group since they won the fastest and lost the slowest there has to be a better way to do that.

Ken34 · 2011-10-03T13:03:48.000Z

I can see why people get upset with akali…

but honestly, you stick a tank on her and she has trouble(garen, jarvan, heck even riven…). she really is just a pub stomper IMO.

ShawnLoganownzu · 2011-10-03T17:27:00.000Z

They will nerf akali’s smoke time im betting… thats the only that makes her OP in pubs because no one gets oracles or pinks.

I have seen a Skarner rape Akali at top though fwiw.

Darko · 2011-10-03T17:45:05.000Z

Really her smoke makes her overpowered? The only time i even use smoke in a pub is when i’ve bitten off more then I can chew.

She is a little overpowered in Dominion, but nerfing her will ruin her for laned games.

Once I have Rabadons with Akali I can burst a tank down to 25% health from full. 1v1 no one touches her damage output. And if i somehow have time to build a linchbane(sp?) im unstoppable.

my dom build, CDR boots, ginsoo rageblade, ryalis, rabadons, linchbane(sp?). I’ll usually start 0-3 and finish 20-5-12 by the end of it.

Cuz · 2011-10-03T19:16:50.000Z

In Dom I’m way more afraid of Jax than Akali.

I agree…Jax is probably the best 1v1 champ in the game…

Ken34:

He is THE best 1v1 champ in the game. No one can beat him… for that matter of fact he’s also the best 1v2 champ… and 1v3, 1v4, 1v5, you see where I’m going with this?

Kayroh · 2011-10-03T21:29:32.000Z

i think Nasus and gator can bet Jax. Hell maybe gp

Negaduck · 2011-10-03T22:11:24.000Z

bad players make it hard to play blitz ;__;

and even when i feed people the kills I get all the blame. Q.Q

I get yelled at because my teammates rush platforms (in dominion) instead of waiting the .2 seconds for me to pull the enemy off of it. It’s especially bad when I pull them off of top and behind the trees just underneath it.

true that, sir

He just dodges GP’s shit and then laughs at him lol. In a 1v1 situation GP loses hard to Jax, far as I can tell. Unless he wants to burn his ultra on that, and even then…

DivineChaos97 · 2011-10-04T04:43:12.000Z

I just defended the Quarry from Xin Zhao, Shaco, Blitz, and Tristana twice before I died as Jax, then I popped revive and murdered them all again.
