Sustain Changes - A preview by Shurelia

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS][quote=Temzilla] [quote=TheJohn] [b]I think I know why RIOT is nerfing heals!!![/b] OK, heres the thing: Some great MOBAs like HoN and DotA 2 are going to draw attention, and RIOT is afraid of losing players. Both HoN and DotA dont have like a support that only heals and shields, the games are fast and all champions can fight. RIOT's idea is making LoL closer to the other games: they are nerfing the utility part to make supports stronger. As I said, I only think this is the reason, but let's see what Phreak'll say. [/quote] I'm about 100% sure that they are nerfing heals because they don't like how it makes champions less wary of damage. At the same time, they are removing oracles for the purpose of ward sweeping, as it makes games last much longer. Basically, they want the game to go slightly faster, and be more exciting. They are trying to make the support role feel more epic. [/quote] Give em all ginormous racks and sweet seductive voices, that'll make it more epic...Ohhhh wait[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=NicknameMy] The AP-ratio of [[starcall]] should not be to high, because it is aoe^^. If you hit all 5, the ap-ratio would be 2,5^^.[/quote] You got no idea of what an AP ratio means --.--[/quote]

[quote=PsiGuard]DON'T. NERF. ALISTAR'S. HEAL. EVER. AGAIN![/quote]

[quote=Joobieo#41288]Solid nerfs. Soraka is sooo op atm. She basically eats away a lot of champions ults with her global heal.[/quote]

[quote=Temzilla][quote=NicknameMy] The AP-ratio of [[starcall]] should not be to high, because it is aoe^^. [/quote] [[Siphon of Destruction]] [[Barrel Roll]] [[Sapling Toss]] [[Command: Attack]] [[Command: Dissonance]] [[Death's Caress]] [[Dark Matter]] [[Time Bomb]] [[Rupture]] [[Feral Scream]] [[Pillar of Flame]] [[Incinerate]] [[Flash Frost]] [[Hextech Micro-Rockets]] [[CH-1 Concussion Grenade]] [[Heavenly Wave]] [[Soul Shield]] [[Lucent Singularity]] [[Rocket Jump]] [[Boomerang Blade]] [[Miasma]] [[Noxious Blast]] [[Tantrum]] [[Howling Gale]] [[Force Pulse]] [[Void Ooze]] [[Living Artillery]] [[Distortion]] [[Alpha Strike]] [[Call of the Void]] [[Wild Cards]] [[Powerball]] [[Spirit Fire]] [[Shatter]] [[Phosphorus Bomb]] So, I'm assuming all of these 50+% Ratio AoE abilities are OP right? :S[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]Ehm, with starcall with a range of 750, you will hit all enemies everytime on a 1,5 sec cd(40% cdr). Now think again^^. And think about a 0.8 ratio on it^^. xD[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000][quote=Temzilla] They are trying to make the support role feel more epic. [/quote] By nerfing them all except Janna?[/quote]

[quote=Temzilla][quote=Luther3000] [quote=Temzilla] They are trying to make the support role feel more epic. [/quote] By nerfing them all except Janna? [/quote] Uh, you realize that's a buff to soraka and sona? And all the "nerfs" are reworks? Janna isn't a healer, and a nidalee rework is pending. They are raising the cooldown of heals because they want you to save players as apposed to topping them off. They want heals to matter, instead of being taken for granted. They want you to thank someone for a heal, instead of rage at them for not giving you a heal.[/quote]
