Smolder came roaring out the gates, quite literally. In response, Riot Games has been working to reign him in, with the League of Legends<\/em> developers today shooting what may be a killing blow\u2014and League<\/em> fans are super happy.<\/p>
Every\u00a0League<\/em><\/a>\u00a0player knows there are only two things to expect from every new champion: Dead on arrival or scarily overpowered. Smolder, the latest champion to fly onto the Rift, landed with a bang and was part of the ‘OP’ category, fuelled mainly because he\u00a0doesn’t even need to auto-attack<\/a>\u00a0to be successful because his abilities do that damage. That power status left players hoping his problematic strengths would be nerfed once Patch, 14.6 rolled around<\/a>, but now that the planned changes have been unveiled<\/a>, fans are celebrating.<\/p>
