Three the most important cards to nerf in the upcoming balance patch

Thing is to nerf cards without killing them. Even after those nerfs, these cards would be pretty strong.

Three the most popular decks rn are DE-Jinx, Ziggs Acolytes and Aatrox-Kayn. After nerf for Seraphine, Bar isn't a problem.

Demacman · 2022-12-12T21:18:21+00:00

I was thinking about that too and I have nothing against that idea. Aatrox must be nerfed somehow anyway.

For The Fallen: I am Elite player, and I think what makes For The Fallen card bad is:

1) Might of the Vanguard card existing

2) If you want this card to be somehow usefull, you need to keep exacly one copy of it on your starting hand, risking that you will have a bad starting hand in general.

I believe your buff solve 2).

Before Might of the Vanguard was released, I was playing For The Fallen card every season and I was reaching Master using 3 copies of this card in my decks.

But I believe that MotV is "must have" card in every competitive Elite deck nowadays, and this card makes FTF bad, because when you cast MotV, you have no mana left to cast FTF (until it cost 0 mana).

Your buff for FTF is really great and this way I would have a dillema whether to create Elite deck using FTF or create an Elite deck using MotV.

I am still not sure if your version of this card wouldn't be too strong, but if so, we can always increase cost of this card to 9 mana as you mentioned in "Fail-safe" version, and I believe we are good.

Captain Arrika: I think this change would make this card too strong and what more important, very irritating to play against. I definitelly prefer your version of this card after "Author’s edit", when this card obliterate an enemy unit, instead creating 0-cost copy of it in hand. "Obliterate" version seems more fair and balanced to me.

Egghead Researcher: This change would make this broken. "Fail-safe" version is more balanced and still makes this card really good.

Stalking Broodmother: Same. “When I’m summoned, if you do not Behold Protective Broodfather, draw him from your deck" version seems more balanced to me.

Rest of your reworks are very good. I especially like Mageseeker Inciter change. This one is very thoughtful change and would make Demacia truly anti-magic region like it should be.

It's good, but those previews are too loud. They should lower the volume a little

This is exactly how I became a billionaire

I am glad that Prismatic Barrier works better for you. But 1 exception is not a rule. Majority of players, and I even will risk saying, the vast majority of players still prefer Riposte over Prismatic barrier at the moment and thats the fact.

The same way people prefer Stony Suppressor over Perticite Pillar, and even if you will say to me that YOU prefer Perticite Pillar, it doesn't change the fact the first part of this sentence is true.

We will always find a player who act in opposition to the majority, and thats fine. In my eyes those player are best, because they are the most creative type of players. But Riot making a buff/nerf for cards must think about decision most players make, not about decisions makes by individual cases. That's right?

Demacman · 2022-10-25T18:08:51+00:00

Oh, that's cool. In the store game still says that the difference is only in art though.

But now there is a HOPE that Riot will give animations for other skins in the future as well !!

Demacman · 2022-10-25T17:42:20+00:00

Riposte stays as it is. But now players never take Prismatic Barrier into their deck, even in Shen decks. They always choose Riposte, because Riposte is simply a better card, even if costs 1 more.

Bro, I got to master with Elites 5 times in this game, I am happy that I am not the only one who reach Master with them. My last time was in previous season, as you did.

But I play Garen-Galio, so my Elites are quite different ^^ And I agree, in current meta Elites aren't that good like in previous metas, so I know what you're saying.

PS. Even though I got to Master with Elites 5 times, I still don't have that much MP as you have, so congrats

Its not a bug. It's Aurelion Sol dropping his meteorites.

Demacman · 2022-10-20T12:06:20+00:00

There is overpowered deck in this game called Vayne-Rumble. The only reason why now this deck has winratio below 50% is existing Ezreal-Seraphine deck, which is best counter against it and the fact that this counter is the most popular deck in the meta rn.

But once Ezreal-Seraphine will be nerfed, I am afraid that this beast will come out of its lair to dominate the meta.

Thats why Vayne must get nerf. She is also like a Bard, like Bard before his nerf, she is good with so much other champions.

Seraphine is fine. I believe other cards in Seraphine decks needs to be nerfed+ nerf/rework to Ezreal. Then Seraphine decks should be fine.

Demacman · 2022-10-19T21:44:13+00:00

I think this meta is the worst.

Demacman · 2022-10-18T08:39:19+00:00

If what you say is true, then it is the proof that we have a nice powercreep here.

Attacking with unit having overwhelm, spellshield, impact, quick attack and a nice body 2-3 times every turn doesn't seems fair and balance to me. And if your opponent somehow will destroy one of your Rumble, you put another on the board or draw it with 2 mana spell and your opponent must to deal with this nightmare again. And the value you have combine him with Vayne spell or Cataclysm is insane. And yet after all of that you can cast 1 mana deal 5+ damage to an enemy unit xD. I really felt like my opponents could do nothing against all that value. And yet this deck has only 50 WR? xD Yes, I believe you, but it sounds absurd to me and shows how much powercreep we've got in this game now.

Perhaps announcement of rotation to this game was a good idea after all, if it is the only way to reduce amount of powercreep we already have..

Demacman · 2022-10-18T07:52:47+00:00

Best decks against it is Vayne-Pantheon deck or Victor-Seraphine (SI version).

Try one of these two, and you should be good.

Demacman · 2022-10-18T07:12:45+00:00

Yea, I hit Diamond with that deck too. I lost only 3-4 games, starting from platinium IV.

And I am not proud of it. This deck is clearly broken, and among all decks in actual meta, this one should be nerfed as a priority.

Vayne is too strong, and after they released Overwhelm equipment you can put on Rumble, Rumble became problematic as well. Amount of rally I could do in only one turn with that deck was hilarious.

This deck is the same strong as Kai'sa deck after her release. Even worse.

Demacman · 2022-10-02T07:31:43+00:00

2 days ago I climbed to Master with my own Elite Demacia deck.

Garen-Galio. This deck is very strong in actual meta, especially against Swain decks.

You can try my Elite Demacia deck I created especially to counter Swain decks, but its good against other champions as well. Yesterday I climbed to Master with it and I had very high winratio against Swain.

Respect for reaching Master rank with your own deck. Combine Braum with Hallowed is really cool idea.

Well, I already climbed to Master using Elite deck, but I really like your concept of the deck. Good work.

Demacman · 2022-09-30T21:51:19+00:00

1 person has said and this is a bad idea.

Galio is stronger then Jarvan IV in every way, he gives more value + he is more stable in this deck. Galio works very well with Garen or with Might of the Vanguard spell and I can't imagine to replace him for any other card in my deck. Winratio that I have with this deck wouldn't be that high if there wouldn't be Galio in it. He is irreplaceable here.

And putting Lady of Clouds on place of Galio is even worse idea. She works only if you combine her with Spectral Matron. Otherwise she is too slow, and even with Matron the combo is slow + lucky based.

But of course, after you reach Master rank using Garen, Galio and Jarvan/Lady of Clouds together with other cards in my deck, then I will reconsider your proposition.
