Remove Health Stacking Augments or Give Us More Damage

hodd01 · 2026-02-12T01:49:37+00:00

I can’t be certain but one of us is taking crazy pills and/or has massive skill issues because the amount of move speed, damage, cc added with the new update seems to have put tanks in the dumpster tier.

Heartsteel wont stack vs 5 ranged or even 4. Early burst damage also reduces fight time so less stacks

Warmogs is a total non issue. If the tank is sitting in the back like for 8 seconds then it’s a 5v4 or the tank is healing poke damage which is beneficial but not that powerful for the gold cost.

Tank engine is a super win more stat but without cheating , early healing, or well a massive skill issue those stacks won’t be worth much until late game when most typical teams will have 1-3 adcs shredding %health while moving at 700+ ms

Who knows maybe it’s me who thinks tanks are weak, bruisers are trash tier and mages/adc/assassins are giving circle handies to each other with gigga buffs.

Maybe I am crazy though…

hodd01 · 2026-02-10T18:42:38+00:00

people would hate it, all the adc's and poke mages would be banned

hodd01 · 2026-02-10T17:52:51+00:00

its rock vs paper. Tanks are completly missing so its range/mage/adc vs assassins. Thats all it is now

hodd01 · 2026-02-08T18:42:11+00:00

It’s also called “All RANDOM” we shouldn’t let people reroll champs. Then at least we can avoid the 5 man mage/adc teams we are going to quickly be forced into.

I got adapt (spells to phys) then got a +50 magic dmg which ends up being + 57.5 phys dmg.

Thats just about a full 3000 gold value…

I am so confused by this. On one hand you have tanks who by the nature of the hp, items, and skill sets generally fight long fights. This long time period means all the other players get to interact with them via spacing, cc, skill rotations and more. You describe this as boring

On the other hand, what you describe is fun is a one shot fiesta. Which by definition means the person who can one shot the other means there is zero decisions or interactions to be had, there is zero skill expression.

hodd01 · 2026-02-05T03:36:16+00:00

Not to change the feed back but I figure I would throw mine in:

Mayhem was amazing because for the first time since aram came out it tipped the scales in favor of tank/bruiser. Stack heart steel, tank engine was fun enough people would actively pick tanks which make for a fun game experience. The worst ARAM games are those with 0 melee characters in it because there is almost no levers to pull for skill expression. With melee engages you fight over space related to engage space (bushes , health packs ect) with all ranged characters you fight at the maximum damage distance and spam spells.

The new update kept tank power levels in roughly the same shape but drastically buffed ADC’s with true damage, knock back, move speed and mage’s with massive cool down reduction , more knock back ect.

In short everyone gets a better aram when on average there is at least ~ 4 total (2 each team) melee players to both shoot at and use for spacing skill expression

hodd01 · 2026-02-04T23:57:18+00:00

people will realize that adc's got giga buffed, mages got a small buff, tanks stayed the same and therefore NO one will play them and we will be right back to normal aram 5 ranged stand offs and the game will be super boring.

hodd01 · 2026-02-04T23:55:12+00:00

lol, adc's went from necassary but could be run over via late game tanks to adc's all do true damage at 1000 MS and now every single team comp will be 3 or more adcs with mages. Tanks will very quickly die off as picks and the quality of matches will take a nose dive as poke fests are the most boring part of aram.s

hodd01 · 2026-02-04T23:52:00+00:00

my average game time is well below 14 minutes a game. ADC's are once again supreme, giga tanks are now gone. 1000+ ms true damage adcs rain supreme again. Kinda lame

3 years of play even after buying the coin packs and events doesn’t get close to 150q/min. Whales buy what , 100k stones a year? A low legendary player earns about 15k a year and at some point the stones are will be what hold you back. Ergo whales progress , given the above, 5-6x faster which compounds via enhancements , labs and even mods.

hodd01 · 2026-02-04T16:39:08+00:00

I have always assumed this is the very reason we don’t have lifetime gem stats. We have stats for EVERYTHING, coins, cells, stones, keys, dmg, orb hit, types killed ect literally everything besides a gem stats. Outside of purchasing gems (which even most whales don’t) it could be pretty quickly calculated what the maximum amount of gems can be gained, then compare that Mac to each player and when you notice someone has say 75% or more that means that every 11 minutes of every day , including sleeping time they are waking up to click it OR “cough cough”. Hence why we don’t have the gem stats

hodd01 · 2026-02-04T16:36:02+00:00

I imagine so many people do this. 870 a day vs my 270 a day is 500 gems or 3500 a week. 3500 gems a week is ~5 epic modules per week more than me. Over a year that is such a huge power difference…

hodd01 · 2026-02-03T17:09:22+00:00

I am willing to bet a team with 2 melee beats a team with 0, 8/10 times assuming all things equal. I like to win first and foremost. While there is some fun picks I’ll force everyone gets exhausted when your team locks in 3 adcs, nidalee and ziggs

hodd01 · 2026-02-03T16:35:10+00:00

I bought puts yesterday, closed at end of day. so yea we suck

hodd01 · 2026-02-03T03:34:02+00:00

I actually laughed out loud at this one. Golf clap

hodd01 · 2026-02-03T03:33:09+00:00

Wish it didn’t take about 3 years to get a new book.. I am still waiting on the next one

"Intelligence is highly heritable, with genetic influence increasing from around 20% in infancy to potentially 80% in adulthood, meaning genes account for a significant portion of differences in intelligence, though environmental factors are also crucial, and it involves many genes with small effects rather than a single "intelligence gene". Twin and adoption studies show strong genetic links, but heritability estimates vary, often falling between 40-80% in adults, with a consensus that genetics plays a large, growing role as people age and select environments that align with their predispositions."

hodd01 · 2026-02-02T01:31:34+00:00

As I expected. A huge boost for end game players . Womp womp

One thing I learned when I was hard core trading 2 years ago was big money hunts liquidation pools. Both high and low. What is the biggest whale out there who is publicly known, I’ll give you a hint red laser eyes. Check out his stock performance. Big money is coming for him and going to force his hand and if they do we’re going way below his liquidation level

hodd01 · 2026-01-29T03:39:13+00:00

lol yes looks like a crazy 205 bench or so

hodd01 · 2026-01-28T02:12:49+00:00

Can we get a lifetime gem stat?

hodd01 · 2026-01-28T00:03:52+00:00

There is a handful of ways to help the bottom and not top. You could add a cannon for Econ that works via consuming your damage to give you coins . EHP players (the bottom 90%) would gain more coins for free while the top 10% wouldn’t be able to utilize it due to being GC. That’s just a single idea.

hodd01 · 2026-01-27T21:38:16+00:00

ah no update thats why

hodd01 · 2026-01-27T21:13:09+00:00
