Twitch streamer Tyler1 has criticized League of Legends developer Riot Games for its patching policy. According to Tyler1, the champion Udyr is so strong in the LoL jungle that even talentless players climb up to the ELO with him. Then, when the champ finally got nerfed, those players would fall down mercilessly, ruining all games on their way down.
Which champion is bothering Tyler1? The Twitch streamer is bothered by the jungler “Udyr”:
How Twitch’s worst troll became the face of League of Legends
According to Tyler1, why is this bad? Tyler1 is particularly bothered by the fact that Udyr has played such a strong role in LoL for so long and has not yet been nerfed.
Also in the new patch preview, many heroes are on the collar. 8 champs are to be nerfed, but not Udyr.
Udyr catapults “untalented players” to the top
Tyler1 says: With Udyr being so strong for so long now, “dumb guys who can’t do anything” would have made it to high ELO ratings by only playing the “giga-broken champ” Udyr:
What are these disgusting players with their inflated ELO ranking actually doing when Riot nerfs this giga-broken champion?
People who used Udyr to climb that high had “no talent” and were “not that good at the game”: they would just log in that character and it would then keep them in the ELO ranking at 50% winrate.
As an example, Tyler1 cites someone who has never played Udyr, then started playing in the pre-season and achieved a 70% win rate.
But when Riot Games finally nerfed the heroes – months too late – they would mercilessly fall from their undeservedly high ELO ranking and ruin all games on the way down because they are playing at an ELO value where they don’t belong.
Tyler1 uses two terms over and over in his rant: “nasty” and “disgustig” for this situation.
Balancing in LoL is often criticized. But everything is okay with a champ:
A champion in LoL is so perfect that it has never been changed – and probably never will be
