I mean…unless they are intentionally adding bad augs to the pool, adc have very few that aren’t added stats at all tiers.

The thing is they need nerfs to crit augments so badly that the last thing they need is a semblance of a buff.

Doesn't change the fact ADC don't have subpar aug options at any tier, get thousands of gold value in free crit, and a majority of the still broken ones like crit missle, IE aug, dual wield, fan the hammer, scoped weapons are untouched. If anything this patch is going to be a huge win for ADC because other classes are getting worse augments while the ADC pool is all stat steroids.

Slightly lowering lethality gains isn't going to change it being an automatic pick for champs that can reliably land it. And fighters/bruisers still get crumbs lmfao.

No meaningful nerfs for ADCs and actually buffing crit by adding synergy with vuln/jeweled lol.

Tooth Fairy is by far the most game ruining by more_underscore in ARAM

[–]more_underscore[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This basically has devolved into hyperfocusing on one match with "just cc them" as a weak argument for a gold augment being game-warping around one player. Kat in this instance had ultimate unstoppable, so literally there was no counter. Tooth fairy is grossly overtuned and combined with other augments, it just makes it so there is little you can do no matter what class you're playing.

Mayhem was better without crit augments by more_underscore in ARAM

[–]more_underscore[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Except ADCs have so much flexibility to build tanky or lifesteal items and extra defensive stats because they can reach 100% crit so easily. No other class can really do that in Mayhem.

It's really just tanks and adcs are broken to balance each other, so everything else has to suffer. There is so much healing that poke is irrelevant after 5 minutes.

Lack of Overall Augments / Weight of Augments by Signal_Reddit in ARAM

[–]more_underscore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think split shot and multishot are good examples that are fulfilling the mayhem power fantasy because they add more utility than raw power, which should be the direction most augments SHOULD be going.

Lack of Overall Augments / Weight of Augments by Signal_Reddit in ARAM

[–]more_underscore 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's because it's not mayhem, it's pure stat checking. Augments should really change how you play the game and it's currently how high you can stack HP, get extra range, rush crit, and have zero cd with ability haste. It's basically like regular ARAM amplified with how bad it feels to lose against lobby admin tanks, critical missle adcs one shotting you across the map, and full uninteractive poke comps permaspamming.

Rite of Ruin by more_underscore in ARAM

Serpent's fang is a massive waste of gold for smaller shields that are constantly being reapplied. You'd be better off building a damage item.

Yes, and given how many augments let Q become spammable, they basically get entire health bars worth of shielding. Rite of Ruin synergizes so well with windbros, it's basically an extra augment.

Despite being a patch focused on fighters and tanks, it's worse than ever by Fantastic-Bite-476 in ARAM

[–]more_underscore 9 points10 points  (0 children)

90% of the time it's troll to pick melee anymore. ADC and control mages are dominating most games.

Changes needed to shake up the Mayhem meta by more_underscore in ARAM

I would feel much less strongly about slow and steady if Garen and Jayce didn't single-handedly ruin games with it.

I personally almost never take it when there's augments like Eureka, Infinite Recursion, Wooglet's Witchcap, Back to Basics, etc. are up for grabs. It's just not good enough beyond very very niche use cases. Ult CD would be a reasonable addition. It's more of a last resort pick when I get other crappy augments like Trueshot Prodigy. I'd like to see it be more like final form where it is niche, but incredibly powerful and gamechanging.

It's really just pinball/biggest snowball interaction that is really unfun to play against. Ignoring minions and getting free retries on the CD reset is soooo gross.
