Oh my God, someone actually thinks like me!

Yes, I want to nerf Marks men and buff fighters too.

My reasons? Simple: kiting offers almost no counterplay if any. Let's imagine a situation I had in custom matches several times: me playing as Volibear against Ashe Bot. You heard me, Ashe Bot.

Simply by hitting me with one Frost Shot, she can sign a death sentence and a long torture session for anyone. Even though I had Mercury Treads with Alacrity AND Rolling Thunder active. I couldn't even get to hit her once. Neither even escape with it since her perma-slow kite is so crazy.

And it took her 30 seconds to kill me, even though seeing the situation i could as well have been already dead from the get-go.

Which leads me to my point: leaving absolutely no chance to the opposition to even do a thing isn't what Marksmen should do: they should merely provide the over-time damage from the backline, not solo tanks. Which means they shouldn't have mobility or crowd control.

I completely agree with this blog.
