45%......IF you can stay in combat with them for at least 12 seconds.....that's like 2 full rotations for most any mage, and you have to stay close to them. Though now it's been changed to be a little smoother, it still takes 12 seconds to get the 30% reduction. I really don't like the abyssal rework. Yet ANOTHER shift away from anything that resembles burst or assassinating or high skill clutch plays, and more for just 4 bruisers and an ADC on every single team for year long teamfights. Because silver players complain about akali and fizz, so all forms of burst damage must be removed from the game. It annoys bad players, so lets delete an entire playstyle from viability and make EVERYONE and EVERYTHING bruiser/tank specialized.

Cinderhulk? Specialized for bruisers.

Black Cleaver? Specialiezed for bruisers.

That Randuin rework? Specialized for bruisers.

This abyssal rework? Specialized for bruisers.

Fizz? Nerfed out of viability. Became an AD bruiser.

Evelynn? Was an assassin, now built bruiser.

Lissandra? Was a mage, now a bruiser.

Kassadin? Was a burst mage, now a bruiser.

Gragas? Was a burst mage, now a bruiser.

Akali? Nerfed hard, no longer viable.

Kat? Nerfed hard, still somewhat viable, don't worry riot will fix that soon.

Veigar? Obliterated. Riot literally point-blank states that they DO NOT WANT THIS CHARACTER TO EVER BE VIABLE IN RANKED.

Sion? Used to be damage based, now is a billion-hp stacking tank.

What next riot? Bruiser akali? Bruiser Veigar? Bruiser Leblanc? Bruiser Annie? Bruiser ADC's? Clearly you hate any form of burst damage that makes players "feel bad" for screwing up and getting themselves killed. Zed just got another nerf, the reason for which literally states "Even the most UNSKILLED, UNAWARE players will still have time to react to it now". That is the opposite of game design. That's like saying "even if your opponent completely outplays you and 100-0's you, we'll just let you get away anyway with 10 hp so you don't feel bad about it".

Seriously, this is absurd. The first few buffs tanks/bruisers got this season were good and I welcomed them because they needed it. I waited so long for an early game sunfire item like cinderhulk to exist for tanky junglers. The desperately needed that to keep up with damage based junglers. I'm even okay with some of the changes I just listed, but ALL OF THEM? It's too much. Way too much. The pendulum has swung too far in the other direction from last season, and it is making the game BORING.

Riot really wants champ diversity, and that's great............. but the truth is that they only want it unless you're an assassin or like bursting people, then fuck you. Season 5 is league of bruisers or gtfo.
