Iron Man isn’t getting changes and Gladiator is getting buffed. Thoughts?

Sounds good. Gladiator clearly needs something. And what's not to like about this "The goal of this rebalance is to increase his damage floor with an easier and more consistent ramp, and allow him to live at his damage ceiling longer once he is ramped."?

It's a shame they didn't decide to reprogram Iron Man's Sig ability, to make it harder to accidentally trigger his healing. But apart from that, he was a really solid buff; to the point of effectively being a completely new champion.

That wouldn't require a rebalance, I think that would just be something a dev could decide to do at anytime.

Happy to see that gladiator will be buffed, I hope a tune up will be enough.... not pretty sure about

I am still confused by Gladiator's persistent charge mechanic, which I don't think a rebalance will address.

It merely increases your max limit, you still have to ramp up to 24 (and ramp up more, I might add, since now you have to go to 32) each fight.

You have to do work, so you can do more work. He can only reach his maximum damage potential after winning the 2nd fight, and even then, every match he has to ramp up to reach that maximum damage potential.

It'd be like if Aegon unlocks his 999 combo abilities after the 5th fight, but starts at 0 combo every fight.

I pulled Gladiator from a Titan crystal a few months ago. I tried him out a few times in LOL and was disappointed. I remember being a kid and watching him wreck Juggernaut in the Xmen cartoons. My expectations were far too high for him. Hopefully the rebalance will do him justice, but didn’t like his gameplay style at all, so not holding out too much hope, but who knows I might be surprised.

I think Gladiator deserves Dani level attention.

Remember the Shuri and Attuma rebalancing? They went from duds to one of the best tech champs, and one of best defenders. Don’t underestimate the rebalance program
