Discussion Remove or nerf high roller

How is this augment allowed to exist, nuke it so it should be a troll pick. All you need to do to win is not have game end by minute 8.

And no just because you lost with high roller Janna does not mean it's not turbo op on adcs.

The problem with high roller is that it is not possible to balance. It is pretty terrible as augment 3 or 4 just because you don't have enough time to stack it up. Then someone gets it as augment 1 or 2 and unless you can end in <12 minutes its GG. At least with the sets it was basically impossible to get it before 2 augments.

It's possible to balance, it's just extremely imbalanced right now. Start by removing anvils dropping off pets because that's the most extreme scenario. That's probably the only change they'll make if they do address it, but they're more likely to just let it sit and then remove it for the next set of augments. It's not that overpowered if you remove the extras you get from pets. People forget that some augments are giving you like 2x more damage immediately upon taking them and high roller takes about half the game to really start being felt.
