Legends of Runeterra

Well, it's not exactly a hidden issue that Taliyah is the worst champion in the game by far. I held some hope and expectations that the new Landmark synergies such as Zilean or Malphite would be enough, but I often wouldn't include her in the deck in the end. Regardless if Landmark decks are good, not a lot of the new cards synergize well with her, in my opinion, so she would probably still be unplayable.

Now I'm not going to suggest what kind of buff she needs because she has a lot of issues that any buff suggestion would become reasonable. The question now is, will she get buffed? Will Riot think ahead and buff Taliyah alongside the release of the new expansion so that people will actually play Taliyah?

If they are going to do it, I don't actually think that we should wait for 2-4 weeks after the release because I don't want to play the new decks with Taliyah in them and get absolutely stomped. I'm actually betting that they are going to buff Taliyah, and I'm also going to bet that the buff will not be enough to make her playable as a competitive deck but rather a meme deck. I did hear through some rumors that Shurima's landmark support won't end here but would also continue towards the next expansion, but I really don't want to wait for 2 more months for Taliyah to be sorta ok. So hopefully, by the end of this, I was either wrong and Taliyah is actually good, or I shouldn't have doubted Riot in the first place and they actually had buffed Taliyah. I'm not even a Taliyah simp or a Taliyah main in League. I just don't to see a Champion with a depressing 30% WR.

I'm warning you it is a salt thread so before you make your guard, i wanted to pre-warn you.



I am a bit salty, yes, but also i really think Atrocity is unhealthy for the game, I will explain why;

When the preview started for the first time, it was here with She Who Wanders. Control it until you find Atrocity then Atrocity to the face.

After that, There is They Who Endure decks which you may be know as Elise/Kalista. Same thing with more bodies. Control the game until you make a fat They Who Endure and find Atrocity. Then Atrocity to the face.

And then, we got our first expansion and Bilgewater. Then, there was those Nautilus decks. Control until you upgrade Nautilus, find it, then Atrocity to the face.

After that, we got another expansion and Targon. Then a new keyword Spellshield, -let's make atrocity harder to counter-. Find a big body which doesn't matter in which region, Aurelion Sol etc. Find them, then Atrocity to the face.

And now, Same strategy in different colors, Nasus thing-y. Make Nasus fat, find Atrocity and Atrocity to the face.


Don't get me wrong, I am not at losing but lose to same strategy with different colors bothers me so much. It will be same with new expansions. There will be always fat bodies, and Atrocity over and over again. I mean, it can't be nerfed, values are fair enough. I mean, mana cost for what it does but it is just boring for that much time. Same strategy over and over again. Something must be done before standard rotation happens because it won't be in near future.

I have just described it above but i want to repeat. It is fucking 5th time in different timelines of the game that a single card makes same archetype strategy/playstyle valid.

I don't know that people is ok or not with this but same shit different smell isn't really fun to play or play against for my tastes.
