I smell... useless price for nerf

[quote=TheJohn]I'm wondering why the champions RIOT release are 6300 and they get nerfed after. I bought Vayne, got so happy, she was strong, worth 6300 or more. Now the nerf stone came crushing and she's now worth 4800, maybe 3150 for the pessimists. Leona is another good champion, but her skills were screaming to get nerfed. The idea was so good to be so strong. RIOT still doesnt know how to make balanced champions. I think Leona will be easily nerfed only. Monkey King (cant u remember his name? And say that ure gonna buy him) hsa interesting skills. But his 6300 smell and the nerf stone are ready for more. So I ask you guys: Why the champions cost 6300 if they are going to be nerfed? Why RIOT cant do a good job? Why they have the wrong idea about capitalism?[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]Vayne was overpowered at launch and you know it. Leona is fine imo, save for the fact that she's useless in the current metagame. Also, what about Yorick, who was released underpowered for 6300 and has now been buffed into usefulness (some would even say he's OP now)? It doesn't really have much to do with the champion prices.[/quote]

[quote=Temzilla]Vayne is still a VERY competitive and powerful pick. Also, Leona is barely being used in higher ELO's except because she's kind of fun. Brand was 6300, Wukong looks like a very strong champion. Also, if you buy a champion for 6300, it isn't because they are a strong champion, i believe they are priced on "how hard they are to play".[/quote]

[quote=TheJohn][quote=Luther3000] Vayne was OP at launch and you know it. Leona is fine imo. It doesn't really have much to do with the champion prices. [/quote] But I loved the OP Vayne T.T RIOT's gonna nerf Leona anyway. When did they do a good job? I think that if they are gonna nerf the champ after, make it cheaper. [quote=Temzilla] Also, if you buy a champion for 6300, it isn't because they are a strong champion, i believe they are priced on "how hard they are to play". [/quote] This theory went down long time ago. There are tons of hard champions that arent 6300. Akali is a great example. Compared to Renekton, she's a lot harder and cheaper.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]Leona's not OP. If my friend wins any normal game with a champ, they're OP. Vayne was OP at launch. She was nerfed in the right places. She's a little UP IMO but, I don't own her so, IDK what her real status is right now. They really need to stop working on new champions for a little while and work on balancing ones they have right now. I know they're two different teams and all but, there's some serious issues going on.[/quote]

[quote=BigDaddyPedro][img]http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs28/i/2008/165/d/c/Shit_Happens_by_Katmomma.jpg[/img] -Vayne was way too op, high mobility and damage = OMFGHOWIDIE? -Riot mentioned nothing about Leona being nerfed, don't be childish. -No that's stupid, if they nerf some one doesn't mean they have to drop the price, heck if this was true then Ryze should cost 10 IP. - Yes Wu Kong is going to be between 4800-6300 IP, deal with, there is a 14 day IP boost we have. Don't see why your complaining.[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000][quote=TheJohn] But I loved the OP Vayne T.T RIOT's gonna nerf Leona anyway. When did they do a good job? I think that if they are gonna nerf the champ after, make it cheaper. [/quote] Leona's considered weak in the metagame anyway. She can't take a solo lane because she has no sustain and she doesn't really do great damage, she can't jungle because she's incredibly slow, and she can't go in bot lane either because that would take farm away from the AD carry (or make Leona useless, since tanks don't work with no farm). Come to think of it, the only tanks that DO work in the meta are probably Cho'gath, Singed and Amumu[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]Also, people aren't priced due to how hard they are to play, just how unique they are compared to other champions.[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000][quote=Lugignaf] Also, people aren't priced due to how hard they are to play, just how unique they are compared to other champions. [/quote] In fairness that really isn't true, they're all 6300 (or rarely 4800) now regardless of uniqueness or how hard to play they are.[/quote]

[/quote] This was changed actually, Riot used to price champions differently, but they said that they are trying to price them based on skill level, and this was around the Orianna time. Akali is a 1350 champ when played AP tbqh. Honestly, i haven't had problems with the champion pricing lately.[/quote]
