Lol: Riot has a problem with the new champions, and demonstrates it with a Nilah nerf in the PBE
Riot Games has always had problems balancing the new champions that arrive at League of Legends . From the first seasons, the developer has been accused of creating very powerful characters consciously with the intention of being popular and calling the players' attention. A custom that changed after the launches of Aphelia, Senna and Sett. After seeing the gigantic problems that these heroes caused in the video game, the company decided to change their work philosophy and promised to think in the long term. Since then new heroes have arrived much more balanced. However, in season 12 something has changed again.
League of Legends suffers with each new character
A new champion who opens with too much power can be an error that can even be repeated on a second occasion. However, the recent problems caused by Bel’veth and the state of which threatens Nilah begin to ratify a trend. Recently, a new Hotfix power reduction has been announced for the newly released character and the one who is still about to reach the invoker crack has suffered the same treatment in the PBE. A situation that does not invite you to be optimistic. Analyzing the equilibrium changes that the 2012 premieres have suffered, it is easy to realize that Riot Games has a big problem .
In the following table you will see the Nerfs that each champion released in season 12 has received during their first five patches . This situation will be compared to the total sum of power reductions received by the characters released in 2021 in the same period of time.
The truth is that the table is quite enlightening. While the 2021 champions suffered Nerfs exceptionally, power reductions have become the norm during the new season. Renata Glasc has been the most balanced heroin among all those that were launched in season 12 and despite this accumulation plus nerfs in the first five patches of her than Vex, Akshan, Gwen and Viego together . It is true that these champions were not perfect and have some very frustrating mechanics. However, in statistical terms they always remained in more discrete victories that, in some cases, does not reach 50%.
Nilah could be Riot Games's next problem
The trend promises to continue with the next release. All the tests we have been able to do suggest that Nilah will be a heroine too powerful. A situation on which Riot Games seems to prove us right. Although it is still in the PBE, the company has announced a reduction of power that will try to avoid collapse when it is officially incorporated into League of Legends. Interestingly, Zeri also suffered this type of adjustments without developers being able to obtain the expected results.
The truth is that the change suffered by Nilah in the PBE is quite significant. The developer has reduced her ability to clean the jungle, which was exorbitant, but also some of the best damage or healing. An augury is not necessarily good that indicates until she point her was powerful. In fact, the developers do not make equilibrium changes based on the test server data unless the results obtained in the league of legends beta are too evident.
It is easy for some champions to shine in competitive and cause big problems to Riot Games in the long term. Also understand cases such as Zeri's, which arrived in League of Legends, taking a long time to a combination of objects that developers had not taken into account. However, The company seems to have abandoned the Plan that allowed us
