I'll agree that on paper, the Annihilus buff doesn't sound as impressive as it could be however I am willing to take it on faith that if after the Buffs go live and we're still not seeing that wow factor that the dev team was pushing for, it'd be a lot easier for them to tweak him up then to tweak him down.
I bet if you ask the devs they would have loved to have been able to rebalance Blade after he was released.
Balances are only what we take from them.i don't agree on the re balancing of any champion (Nerf or Buff) but i am willing to give benefit of the doubt with this one as i was not around pre 12.0 so i cannot speak on that . i do however own all champions that are on the re balancing radar and will do my testing. if i find they are worse then i will have the option to sell said champs . and from that point i will become a F2P player once again. the BEST way to have your voice heard is to STOP!!!!! giving them money .
For reference:
Question one: what do you mean by "player skill?"
Question two: why does the data seem to show the same champion with radically different damage output in two different graphs that appear to be described as showing the same thing?
Question three: are we really comparing apples to apples when the data seems to lump together different ranks and tiers of every champion and comparing directly to each other?
- transform the flat +x damage per deterioration in a +x% damage per deterioration and make these deterioration permanent debuff
This would leave Maw mechanics as you changed him but also make him a good damage dealer like human torch and its smoulder
No need to be as powerful as human torch
lets say a a +17% damage to degen per deterioration
With 20 permanent deteriorations that would do something like 198 damage per tic for a 5R3 instead of the actual 87,5 one time...
Maw would grow in power with each fight 😉
Although I don't quite see it as 'exploited benefit', I do agree with your overall argument - rebalancing (when necessary) should ideally be communicated and put into action much sooner than was the case with these particular champs.
1) Tons of notices and release of all the data used to make determination (summoners are primed for big changes)
2) Buffs are almost imperceptible
3) Nerfs are sort of buffs (depending on perspective)
These seem like changes you could have done at a whim.
Kabam looks fantastically incompetent when they put in so much effort with so little result.
HT rebalance seems underwhelming at best and pretty much imperceptible at worst. Annihilus and Maw aren't really worth discussing. Namor's changes were, as you said, unnecessary and unprovoked, and the data they presented doesn't really seem to support their rationale for tuning him down.
They were named balance changed for a reason and that’s what they did. They rebalanced.
Annihilus is a very different champ than Maw. Why should they get the same treatment. Matter of fact, who said they would ?
