I wonder if Riot IS ever gonna tweak the characters that need it or just shrug their shoulders and go "they're all just gonna be banned in ranked anyway, fuck it"

Probably this. It's more economic for them to just keep on shitting out new champions.
they have tweaked characters in the past, but that was pre-draft
i mean they are on the right track with making him unable to go "lol imma kill towers while i stand here not putting myself in danger" but his turrets need to be temporary
Well, to be honest draft mode isn't a perfect barometer for what heroes are overpowered, just what heroes people hate playing against. They're usually one and the same but sometimes it's not the case (I see Shen banned frequently and ever since his last nerfs he has seemed fairly fine to me, still one of the better tanks in the game of course but there are reasons to pick other tanks!).
I mean, all sorts of posts on the official forums and the SA topic have Riot people saying 'we are very much interested in looking at champions w/x/y/z and changes are being tested out internally/on the secret ptr'.
I have hope that they actually mean alla dat and things will come down the pipe.

Heimer honestly just needs to not dmg towers with his nades, and possibly not with his towers (this is debateable).
Shen is the single best tank and a good one will win a game where the other 4 strongest chars (or 3 + pick your fave strongest) are banned.

haha wow. so I guess breaking news is that ranked matches are going to be 30 only pretty soon.
Mixed feelings but out of the ranked games I've played the two biggest fucking assholes have been low-20s and were basically the worst of the DotA community at every opportunity. One dude currently has a thread on the general forums asking for banlists because he is soooooo sick of people not living up to his 100% perfect expectations. Incidentally he single-handedly lost the game I was in by refusing to do anything but farm creeps or sit at the fountain when enemy champs showed up. Spent the rest of the game calling us noobs for even daring to play the game.
Not that once you hit 30 you magically become a saint and are just fun times. At least now people won't be able to go on rants in game about how someones level 26 rune page lost a game.
It is because Garen is like Legionaire from HoN, who is actually a great hero. An awesome taunt like a real tank should have, a sweet whirling blade and an ult that actually kills heroes past level 6.
I actually miss HoN (but I still wont pay for it) all the heroes were a lot of fun and LoL is just missing something. There aren't any cool heroes like Valk or Pollywog.

Alright that's it, I'm done with solo queue. Too much fucking terrible, too much silly geese of the highest order being utterly unable to follow simple tactics (DO NOT SPLIT UP YOU BUNCH OF FUCKI-oh look you are dead and you are dead too and now we are all dead because at 3v5 we had no chance of victory), too much bullshit. I can understand a lvl5 or a lvl10 not knowing much, but said behaviour coming from fucking lvl20 to lvl30 is pretty much inexcusable.
A premade 2-man team RAGEQUITTING TOGETHER in my last game was pretty much the breaking point of me.

God, everyone I have talked to when I say that I absolutely loved the HELL out of Legionnaire in HoN has told me to play Garen but he hasn't come up free yet and I don't want to blind buy him. =(
I've been making do with Malphite and doing all right with him, though, so I'll continue to wait. =X

Who is basically Axe from DotA, who was amazing as well. AOE Taunt, double helix procs for hideous damage at low levels, and a finisher ult.
I really wish Garen were as top tier. He is still fun though.

Hey. So I saw a screenshot of the next character. Is this fake? The icons are placeholders if it's a real one, but... Hell. Who knows at this rate?
I remember attempting to sacrifice him for the part where you had to sacrifice a party member to continue, just because he looked dumb and I didn't care at all about him. Pity it was one of those YOUR MORALITY IS BEING TESTED things, and I couldn't actually kill anybody.

I find the summoner level data a bit interesting. I don't play solo ranked a whole lot so the change isn't really an issue for me.
*snip*
This makes me sad. I have a 57% winning percentage even after back to back losses. That's still 5% more than an average level 30 player, but I can't play ranked until I grind 3 more levels. Kinda sucks. Wish riot let people under level 30 with a rank above 1250 or 1300 keep playing. Oh well, I guess more grinding for me.

I don't like the level 30 means for Ranked because that just seems like wankery to me.

And now I need to get that last level I guess.
See I thought in ranked play it would be like normal and place me with and against all people my level. I am 23 and I did one ranked match and when I saw it was predominantly 30s I decided I would wait until 30 to play any ranked matches. Also I am not a total dick like that other guy, I apologized to my team profusely. Also this is because I haven't bought a single rune yet.

You probably should have bought runes at level 20/21

heimerdinger is still loltastic
untouchable because his turrets do ridonks damage, pretty sweet
a mage that can do large amounts of sustained damage is not a mage at all, in any sense of the word
he is simultaneously a mage and a ranged damage character
In his case I'd say its more like he is simultaneously a mage and R-Type.

I like to see tweaks instead of huge changes because it's so easy to go overboard in one way or another.
i mean they are on the right track with making him unable to go "lol imma kill towers while i stand here not putting myself in danger" but his turrets need to be temporary

I for one, am tired of new heroes. I'm still trying to learn how to play Jax, Udyr, Shaco and Singed not like a goddamn retard.
Now I want amumu, ffffffffffuuuuuuuu

Guess it's back to normal again.
The data is totally interesting.
Pre-20 32% win rate... up to 50%+?
Thats.... huge. Phenomenal.

Yeah probably but I am addicted to buying new heroes. I will probably save up and buy a couple of health quints at the very least.
