Why do nerfs feel ineffective for overpowered champions?

-

I’m frustrated because last patch, Diana was dominating as the best jungler while Warwick topped the charts as the best toplaner. Despite recent nerfs and some compensation buffs for Diana, they still retain their positions at the top. It’s baffling to me how the balance team can miss the mark so widely. Now Diana is becoming one of the best midlaners too. This constant cycle of tiny nerfs is making the game feel stale, and I find myself playing 50-60% less because of the unengaging metas. Why can’t they implement better balance changes?

Honestly, Viego is taking the top jungler spot, and Ambessa is tearing it up in toplane right now. Not sure where you’re getting your info from!

I’ve noticed that Diana actually dropped about 2% in winrate for ranks below Diamond. But in Diamond and up, her performance is in the negatives, which is interesting. It’s hard to tell if the nerfs are sufficient or just not hitting the right spots.

Yeah, but according to lolalytics, she’s still at 52% winrate with a 10% pick rate in Emerald and higher, so it seems like she’s still got some strong legs under her.

Please, facts are overrated! We should just stick to the narratives we like.

It feels like the balance team is in a tough spot. They seem to have made things worse for Warwick by overnerfing him after trying to fix his bugged W. His jungle version feels awful now, and while he’s still strong top lane, the adjustments weren’t the right fix. If they nerf him further, he could drop significantly, making the current changes feel almost pointless. They really need to reconsider their approach instead of just tweaking numbers.

What if they made it so his passive doesn’t work on minions? That way he wouldn’t heal so much off them but could still use it on jungle monsters.
