Summed it up on title, I'll elaborate a little

Hornbow:

Hornbow is SQUISH
Burst/DPS mediocre
Dash IS TERRIBLE FOR A SQUISHY BUILD, it often kills you more than save you, specially vs swarms
Ult is main source of dps
Having to hit dash to get ult is extremely bad, rewards bad gameplay (Dash should be used defensively as squish)
Kit makes little to no sense and isn't cohesive

Stormweaver:

WHO THE FUCK PICKED THE CORES? SHOULD BE INSTA FIRED
Why TF are all 3 skills locked behind charging? this makes it extremely bad (I would make a hotfix buff ASAP to make the healing skill not locked behind the hit accumulation cooldown)
Skill 1 Sucks, literally... sucks enemies in, sucks damagewise (would increase damage zone area by quite a bit, maybe decrease pull power/cc)
Skill 2 ain't bad, its still weaker than Daggers/Pyro by a long mile though
SKILL 3 IS THIS WEAPON'S MAIN PROBLEM, YOU EITHER DO MEDIOCRE DAMAGE OR HAVE NO SUSTAIN EVER AT ALL... AND THE SUSTAIN IS PLAIN BAD EVEN WITH MEGACHARGED CORES
Make skill 3 heal twice for self and half for allies if its too op somehow (it wont be)
The 2 dashes are super cool... YET FUCKING USELESS, MORE OFTEN THAN NOT YOU GET FUCKED HARD FOR GETTING IN MELEE RANGE
The melee hits do a whopping 600 damage... that's half of pyro's fully stacked burn (which can crit)... You basically get destroyed in order to be able to hit to charge your mediocre ass abilities

BALANCE CHANGES ARE NEEDED. ASAP... no "we're looking forward to those in a near future maybe after a long deserved vacation. IDK, we won't do it, maybe after the vacation is over we will have a new underpaid intern with 0 experience that could maybe do the balance"

Game has a lot of great stuff, a lot of weapons are extremely fun on their own or could be (stormweaver has the potential to be fun if fixed.... What they did to Hornbow and Stormreaver was top notch dirty, it dissapointed so many fans expecting their return).

I would like to use Singularity more, but its damage is nonexistent

Would like to use poisonbow more, but its heal has an absurdly low cooldown (that even if it gets fixed the weapon is extremely outclassed and powercrept to oblivion by pyro now)

Would like to use Zap/Headbanger for AOE, but they're so weak in every sense compared to the easier to use and way more consistent bloodsucker

The Lustrous chroma for Porcelain Irelia is avaliable for 290 RP. It has a time icon stating it will last for 4 weeks, no confirmation if it will be limited or not or when will it return if ever.

The Beacon chroma for Porcelain Lux is avaliable for 290 RP. It has a time icon stating it will last for 4 weeks, no confirmation if it will be limited or not or when will it return if ever.

The Lustrous chroma for Porcelain Ezreal is avaliable for 290 RP. It has a time icon stating it will last for 4 weeks, no confirmation if it will be limited or not or when will it return if ever.

Balance changes... Or at least give minor buffs to weak/underused weapons

Gets kinda old quick to clear all rifts with Fists, Bloodsucker and Daggers

She's a passive farming simulator now (boring gameplay)

She's still unpopular, nowhere picked near the popupar champs (Lee/Graves/Viego/etc)

She will not see any pro play pressence near guaranteed (heck, the old version had a shot at it)

She's low elo skewed (52%+ below gold, falls to below 49% the higher the elo goes, the huge drop starts at plat/em)

She's not getting the low elo treatment while being a low elo champ (Like Nasus/Briar/WW/Noct/etc, where they're left overtuned on purpose just so people play them)

She went from the best early game in game with fun gameplay to the best late game in game with boring gameplay for over half of the match if the match even drags long

Her scaling should not be a problem (ASOL, Kayle and other champs scale similarly while this isn't considered a problem... heck, those 2 are kept 52-53% steady WR across all elos and its fine)

So yeah, fuck whoever wants to preventively nerf this somewhat failed rework, it has the community split (most high elo players hate her, most low elo players love her). Hope we either get a revert (like Rengar/Gwen/LB did) or fair treatment (a nerf for this champ with these numbers is not justified, at most they should adjust her keeping the current nerf and buffing the trash early, like for example making Q CD scale from 3 seconds to 1 insteaf of 4 to 1 for example)

For those who don't know, there is new drama going on with the new classic battlepass bundles.

I personally made this post that got some traction on the league classic reddit (much smaller than this one) and I started noticing inconsistencies across the support's team problem solving willingness.

I got the 9k rp battlepass on day 1, now I can't get modern Silver Kayle without spending 160$ : r/LeagueClassic

I personally got my RP refund, my RP was manually added to my account once I purchased the "collector's box" and some other luckier customers (these ones probably got refunds too since we requested them early on) got their refunds too.

Now though, comments are starting to emerge of new clients who purchased the 9,412 RP pass who want to buy the collector's box (for those unaware, some people bought the pass on day 1, collector box arrived on day 2 offering the same as that pass + some extra items, thing is they're pretty much charging the expensive pass twice to loyal-want-to-be customers if they want the goodies claiming the pass is non refundable, when in fact support can manually add RP to said accounts in order to secure a 160$~ sale for the company)

Anyways, I don't know if this is a new scummy monetization order from above (really doubt its this one but in a 2026 with horrible human being CEO's I wouldn't be surprised), or if the support team has HUGE discrepancies and inconsistencies across regions, or if part of the support team is just clearly clueless at what to do with this new problem

Hoping this post gets attention in order to help the unlucky customers that want the physical bundle to get their refunds so they can happily get their product without being charged 100$~ twice for it

TL:DR

>Many people bought the 9k rp classic pass on day 1
>The merch store releases a physical bundle that includes the 9k rp pass, real life goodies and more on day 2
>People who got the 9k RP pass on day 1 started requesting for the 9k RP to be refunded to their accounts in order to purchase the physical bundle on the store (160$~ if you include the euro exchange rate and the huge flat shipping fee)
>Some people are getting proper customer support that is willing to help the customer spend more money on the game without making them buy an expensive 100~$ battlepass twice, while other support agents or support teams from different regions are denying these refunds and forcing customers to pay for the 100$~ battlepass twice if they want the physical bundle

EDIT: tried posting this on the main subreddit, but moderators won't approve since its not esports related... Lets try to get traction here in order to help our fellow unlucky players that got neglected by the support team... I know this sub isn't as big, but this drama is important

Title... I'm not a whale whale, but if content caters to me I'm willing to spend reasonable amounts (a good battlepass, all champs, Goth Annie, Black Ali, etc).

One day after the release of the pass though (9k RP is around 100$ btw) they launched the "physical version" of the game which includes the 9k battlepass, some real life goodies (coasters, keychain, stickets, etc) and modern Silver Kayle

Is there a way to get a refund for the battlepass (I certainly doubt it since I already spent a ton of classic coins on pass goodies) in order to get the physical version of the game?

TL:DR I'm willing to spend an extra few bucks to get the real life version of the game + its goodies and modern Silver Kayle, but no way in hell I'm willing to pay 160$ for it (in those 160$ comes a 100$ish battlepass I already acquired)

Wish Riot updated the store's programming in such way that the store would detect if a player has X classic battlepass and would apply discounts accordingly (there are many tiers of the battlepass, I'm sure other people that bought the same pass I did or other cheaper ones would love the physical version as a collector too)

To clarify, its around 160$ because its charged in euro + it has a pretty hefty flat shipping fee inside of the US)

Over/Megacharged fishers that become standard fishers yesterday

Today and a week ago Over/Megacharged oyabuns that become standard

Lower MC rates (even the chaos map seems to had lowered its usual rates)

People playing less and less.... You've had a week since the Oyabun bugs started showing up last week...

I've easily missed 10+ mc progression with these bugs (the extra xp compensation is fun and all, but its not mcs)

1. Overloads don't seem to be coming in game any time soon, specially with saturated heart and the chugging device existing
2. They're quite cheap for the "most rare" or premium herb seed type in the game
3. Surge potions have the potential to increase demand for these considering the amount of new spec weapons that are getting introduced in the game (raids 4, other updates, etc) and some could have potential to develop new pvm metas revolving around surge potions for short trip bosses for faster kc
4. Edit: They're kinda common nowdays, TOA (the most popular raid) shits these seeds in insane amounts
5. Other con = buy limit of only 200 units for the seeds

Stars achieved per weapon would be an awesome metrick tracking rectangle

1) Two helping missions

Helping missions are the worst and least fun by far. Helping spirits and sniffers is an annoying task when the map's theme is killing plats to spawn mother vine

2) One of the helping missions' rarity is off the charts

Finding sniffers was rarer than finding Mew on the 1999 gameboy color pokemon games. Absurdly low spawn rate. It should have been spirits and tacticats if anything (Tacticats were way more common while still being rare)

3) Exceedingly low overcharged and megacharged spawnrates, specially for bosses

Don't need to develop, map is 99.99% regular mobs, didn't see a single megacharged unit and I finished all the projects

4) Plant buds SHOULD NOT BE A TASK

Like ever again too. The mother vines rarely spawn them and they're extremely tanky for no reason... You pretty much only kill 1 bud per mother vine IF (emphasis because its a big fucking if) you're lucky enough to get to it early (plant spawns buds as one of its first attacks and almost never uses that attack again... buds on the other hand dissapear in like 3 seconds making it extremely hard to kill 1 or even 2)

Oh yeah... and randoms/bots are probably not bright enough to realize that not killing the mother vine quick may make it spawn more buds... but dudes are on a mission to set a guiness world record for DPS test on that dumb plant that barely gives any xp

This map was straight up ass and unfun. It felt like a 3 mission daily map recycled as the main map with extremely tedious tasks and extremely low spawn rates. It also removes any fun and replay value since hunting in normal maps is fun because you can find a lot of OCs and MCs

PVP is trash, its horrible already, and most of it is caused by how disgustingly OP lava shield is

1. Disable lava shield
2. Disable free sustain (or greatly nerf it... staff of good vibes and technofists are immortal in 1v1s and maybe 2-3v1s)

Maybe this will develop new metas or bring interesting data to the table, because as of now PVP is DEAD and I HATE having to play it for daily xp

1. Buff this fucking weapon already for god's sake, even when animation cancelling all your combos your dps is still extremely underwhelming... Like hotfix buff it right now, its stupidly weak
2. Give us queue options for rifts... for example:
3. -allow us not to be able to pick to not be put in lobbies with singulariturds, I'm literally going afk every single time a low core + low level singularity user is in my rifts... This way if noobs want to terrorize rifts trying to get carried with singularity they get paired with other singularity users so they can taste their own medicine
4. -allow us to "pick low priority roles"... for example, if I want to play tank, I don't want to be paired with another shield and a wolfstick (already happened twice in the 4 axes rift)

While we're at it fix the "beginner" *dr-evil-wink* technofists dojo that is impossible without abusing explots as waveskips

FIRST AND FOREMOST. If critical is a thing, every character has to have a base critical chance (be it 5% or 10%). Having no critical core option just makes some weapons obsolete since release and the dopamine from crits are always nice.... Not my job to do the numbers to make it balanced, but ALL weapons should be able to crit without cores

Speedshot:

Speedshot is an easy and great first weapon. Its problem is that it's too onedimentional to have lower dps than the red technofists

The proposal will be to keep it 100% as it is... but bring back the stacking attack speed that was so characteristic of the weapon... Make speedshot have more DPS than red technofists by 5-10% at max charges while keeping the current DPS for its minimal attack speed

Edit: Proposal from dachen, which I like more than mine... Swap the healing shots for the old vitamin shot

Technofists:

No proposed changes, probably the best weapon in the game right now for most scenarios because it's a "jack of all trades master of all" weapon. Would rather instead buff all other weapons to have a place instead of fists in multiple scenarios.

Edit: Slight nerfs to its red DPS and its healing

Headbanger:

Headbanger is in a good spot, especially if you take the time to master its combos and animation cancels. HOWEVER, it can be better (especially in the fun/satisfaction department). It is also outshined by most weapons in single target dps making it unable to be the best at anything (except that old docks rift)

There are 2 main proposals

1. Declunkify: Make its third autoattack have no extra delay (these extra delays feel terrible to play arround and very clunky). I would 100% prefer this change since it would make me more inclined to want to play the weapon because it will be less frustrating to use
2. Straight up buff: Make its third attack do a stupidly absurd amount of damage... The windup is way too annoying and the reward is just way too little in its current state

Venombow:

Weapon is in a fine state, but it's extremely broken when playing a hit and run playstyle on maps that enable it (accumulative point rifts are some of those... and the first map that spawned dozens of bosses the very first of the update, village siege I think it was called)

I think it would be fair to leave it as it is, but I have a half assed proposal to its problematic toxic mechanic

Proposal to its problematic mechanic: Make it have a max range for ticking poison. If this change goes through though the weapon would be weaker overall than the competition and may need buffs in other parts of the kit to stay relevant.

Zapsicle:

Congratulations to whoever designed this weapon since its extremely fun and satisfying to use.

I'd leave the weapon as it is, it is very strong if mastered and it is one of the best in the game on situations where it's needed or could be used.

Lava Shield:

ABSURDLY BROKEN AND FRUSTRATING IN PVP, I WOULD ADDRESS THIS THING IN PVP ASAP

OTT, it has it uses in some rifts while not being particularly great. Could leave it as it is, could also make its basic attack do a bit of more damage

Wolf Stick:

No proposed changes, maybe minor buffs to the player's basic attack or the heal received from the wolf frenzy. Haven't used this weapon enough to know if it's good or bad, but I definitely see a lot of potential in it, specially in solo scenarios/dojos. It has a room to be the best weapon at some scenarios so I don't see any major changes necessary

Singularity:

Again, congratulations to whoever designed this weapon since its extremely fun and satisfying to use.

It is though quite undertuned since its dps is just way subpar while its long cooldowns also make its AOE lackluster. The weapon has insane defensive/mobility capabilities, so I wouldn't increase its healing at all (seen a lot of people complaining about the healing being too low, but I think it may be fine)

Proposals:

1. Lower cooldowns on skill 2 and skill 3 (this would make it more skill expressive, and I would prefer this change) while buffing the dash's/teleport and the autoattack's damage
2. Higher damage on skill 2, skill 3 the autoattack and the dash/teleport

The DPS is a must, this weapon is almost dead-on arrival in the meta, especially for rifts since its dps is just too low even if you're being consistent with it (and this weapon can be very inconsistent, especially in the hands of inexperienced players)

Squid Blades:

Congratulations on the rework, the weapon is extremly fun and satisfying to use. It's great to see such a fan favorite back in such a good state

Wouldn't change it for now, its DPS is great while also having enough identity to have the potential to be the very best at some specific scenarios, so no proposed changes for this one

Vibe Shifter:

Ok.... Saved this one for last because it could be very powerful but it's just not fun nor satisfying to play. It has no place in rifts since DPS is king there (and other weapons like Technofists make it unecessary if it would ever be needed)

I'd propose to fully rework it focused more on being a "control mage" with turrets. Good/Satisfying gameplay will always be better than an overtuned unfun weapon nobody wants to play or use.

I'll propose a few changes

1. Keep the separate attack and heal buttons
2. Make the turret you place also do your exact same conical attack (or heal)
3. The conical attack that the turret emits will automatically aim itself in a straight line to wherever your character's basic attack (or heal)
4. The turret's emitted attack will be exactly the same lengths as the player's attack. If its too short it doesn't stretch or anything, it just flies in the linear direction of where your basic attack would end
5. If both your attack and the turret's attack meet or intersect, make any monsters or enemies in that exact intersection/area take bonus damage (this could add satisfaction to the weapon and skill factor)
6. The turret will ALWAYS emit the opposite attack of what you do (If you heal it attacks, if you attack it heals)
7. The huge AOE pulse attacks/heals from multiple attacks will be emitted from both the player and the turret (will probably have to nerf their numbers though since this could break it or make it too powerful AOE)
8. Make the turret also emit skill 2 (the push back) for a bit of more damage/zone control
9. Could add one more skill that would make you instantly teleport to your turret while destroying the turret in the process
10. The turret could be like an "ultimate ability" that you need to charge up like Venombow's or Headbanger's heal

Thanks for reading, feel free to contribute in the comments!

Think he's an early game bully that can snowball reliably or a late game beast?

1. Make the poison tick for less time, adjust damage numbers if necessary (on either autoattacks or poison ticks)
2. Remove the buffie that refreshes the poison tickrate, its frustrating braindead gameplay with no counterplay. Add any other fucking effect in the entire universe except this one
3. If still too strong/toxic make him keep his same autoattack pattern, but make the middle feather have its same range while decreasing the diagonal/side feathers' by 5-10%, this way he has upclose burst as an assassin should have while also reducing his frustrating poke and antiheal pattern
4. Maybe remove his ability to reduce heals, his kit is indeed kind of overloaded

Crow is NOT an assassin under any moba standards (at least without his hypercharge), he plays way more like a poke/control mage that just denies the enemy team from healing for unhealthy amounts of time
