The Status Quo/Game Evolution/12.0

Aryl

I know this horse has been beat, but with the evolution of the game and the buffing of old champs, maybe it's time to revisit some of the changes 12.0 implemented and make some tweaks. Champion specific tweaks... not mechanic tweaks.

DS - OMFG, just put him back like he was before 12.0. He would be just fine in the current meta. 7s rotation and full heals on hits.

RR - allow 100% crit rate after a combo of 15 or more. We already have crit champs and anti-crit champs. This would affect little.

IF/IIF - allow negative armor reduction

SW - she's fine. Maybe up the healing proc

OG Thor - maybe allow up to 4 armor breaks with negative armor

These aren't game breaking mechanics... hell... they're not even character buff suggestions. This is a very simple way to add relevance back to older, unused characters without having to go through the whole buff shenanigans.

We've moved well past 12.0, so its shadow shouldn't be lingering in 2019/20.

1. DS partly agree, although the regen can be insane at times in combination with the rest of his kit. I would suggest one flat heal value for regular hits and another for crit hits.

2. Rocket agree, 15 hits at max sig, higher combo count for lower sig levels.

3. (I) IF disagree: Negative armor rating from Armor Break is possible (armor break against IF who has 0 armor and you will do more damage). Problem is Diminishing Returns. Each stack is less effective. It can't reach 100% reduction, let alone surpass it, so after 2-3 armor breaks the next one has virtually no effect. IF will need a complete overhaul. Maybe an ability like "A critical hit has an X% chance to apply armor shattered." This chance increases as the power bar fills. You could then add something like "When the opponent is Armor Shattered, IF gains a precision and a cruelty buff. Potency increases with sig level." for the sig. Or give him crit block penetration.

4. SW: Keep as is, but introduce as 5*.

5. OG Thor: More armor breaks won't help him, like IF. I'd say we need to give him a little something extra when armor is broken. Like increased damage with physical Mjolnir attacks. IDK.

Then BW needs something to make her great again, we need an overhaul for the non-IW caps and we need something to make Pure Skill viable again.
