    He's wayyy too strong. Laning vs him is terrible to play against. Never runs out of mana, low cd, his rock throw does a lot of damage and he spams it until you get to half health then he just slams you into a wall and your dead. Also rock throw has a huge AOE so it's almost impossible to dodge

    Could you do a video like this for naafiri you'd be so surprised how many league youtubers sound so boring and the same like "his ult is gorgeous" but then you come along and change it to "btw when you use E your Q stays active"
    These are the tips i need in a digestible and interesting video not a 30-hour long video of edits, boring gameplay, or thesis statements about how large kaisa is and how that upsets people
    What you do is explain the lore but not overdo it, you give helpful tips but not overused tips, and you just make it fun
    (So many league youtubers complain about the skill level of players but 90% of the content they put out is so boring or just a podcast)
    And i mean people made thesis statements of naafiri but oops shes no longer meta or new so no content thats interesting about her

    • @TheTarians
      @TheTarians  3 місяці тому +2

      I mean, you're talking about a champion who had piss poor damage without his spire, was there to get to a priority target to ult them but had 0 ways to get to that priority target without flash (which champions shouldn't be designed around taking a specific summoner), and became very useless if the enemy's priority target builds a single item. So I would say he needed a lot more than just the spire change

    @mr.spoonu2d870 3 місяці тому

    I like everything about it thematically. But the rework is straight up toxic. It's not so bad in the jungle, but top Lane it literally is a zero counter play Lane you can't trade into him with your abilities because he's just going to shield, he can always run away, And if you go even with him or even get ahead of him a bit he just ends up building resistances to whatever you're doing and deals enough damage to poke you out of Lane on full tank. The only way to play against him is to play something that isn't squishy and can build leandries to constantly hit him with percent health damage. But that's a very small pool of champions.

    There are only 2 opinions regarding Skarner's rework:
    1. The opinion that says that Skarner's rework is very good without being perfect, and is a great improvement for the character, bringing a different but familiar essence.
    2. The wrong opinion.

    I say this as someone who play a champion that can deal % max health damage... that type of damage shouldn't be a thing in my opinion, it makes it so that if you are ahead you destroy your enemy so fast and if you're behind you'll still deal pretty decent damage due to it being percent based
    I love how broken rhaast or skarner can feel when ahead, but I can admit that it probably doesn't benefit the game, just like vayne's passive or smolder's % health true damage and execution once he gets his stacks, I know these champions feel amazing once you fulfill their power spike requirements, but they can also feel like bulshit really easily

    • @user-ze4fm5zu8t
      @user-ze4fm5zu8t 3 місяці тому +1

      If they removed hp% damagae, tanks would be quite litteraly unstoppable. I do agree that they can be quite BS (mainly because of both their wide distribution AND the values of these damage) but %hp damage is needed for the game to stay healthy.

    • @pralenkaman8105
      @pralenkaman8105 3 місяці тому

      @@user-ze4fm5zu8t I mean, you still have items like blade of the ruined king, it's just that when a tank like skarner can do more damage than an assassin due to his Q doing % health damage it's a bit ridiculous, I get that there's a place for it in the game, but it can really easily go from something that is needed to help balance certain classes to something that can feel pretty broken

    • @TheTarians
      @TheTarians  3 місяці тому

      I mean there will always be problems with anything that Riot introduces to the game, but I think something to remember is that without % max health damage we would run into a big problem imo:
      Tanks have 0 counter picks through direct champion picks. You now either have to make items that are already strong against tanks even better, which would be terrible for the game health because BORK is already such a pain point for balance, or you would need to make tank items be worse in general which could revert us back to the problem of pre-durability patch where you're getting 2 shot at level 1.

    • @davil.5608
      @davil.5608 3 місяці тому

      Usually he only built Fulltank in pro play for example, but you still had the option to go Trinity + Muramana and absolutely shread everyone without trolling. The health scalings and the lack of reliable/constant mobility now make building anything that isn't tank or one or two AP items veeery suboptimal. you even end up dealing more dmg just building Heartsteel at the end. And that isn't going to be fixed by giving him more Q scaling.
