NERF BURN

Submitted 3 years, 9 months ago by

Please nerf burn aggro - today I lost two games against it with even with him not even touching my face with direct attacks - just last breath deal dmg and burst spells. Total bulls*** not fun to play against + most of the players even rope deliberatly

    Quality first post. 

    Do we have a salt thread for Runeterra yet, or does the original one apply to all games?

    We needs one actually.. I would make one but notifications..

    TBH I face burn twice with my TF-fizz plunder deck won both encounters (that being said I am in bronze cause I started playing ranked only yesterday), if they don't connect with face and you got counters for fervor and the demolishionists you can negate a lot of damage, also try to kill the "on attack deal damage" units before they attack, also play very aggressive, make them make trades if they want to survive.

    here's how I would tech/play against them with every region

    Shadow isles: RIP burn.

    Freljord: tech in the barkeeper, have frost availeable, play aggressive.

    Noxus: remove their stuff, stuns, don't let them connect.

    Demacia: get life steal minions, single combat demolitionist/fervor.

    P&Z: save removal for fervor/demotionist.. save burn to cast second in stack to win before they do (if it's close..)

    Ionia: spirit refuge, will/deny.. etc.

    Blilgewater: steal their burn and burn them instead :D

    That is way too slow. You can get lucky but wasting mana on stealing cards is not the way to go.

    Well I took my TF deck as an example, here you can generate tempo by playing Pilfered Goods :

     

    Of course I didn't try it against good players yet so who knows.. it's probably unfavored.. I would add Eye of the Dragon if I felt like the meta is 50% burn.. but I didn't climb high enough yet so.. it's fine ATM

    Burn aggro is not even that good. I win against it at least 50/50, regardless of the deck I'm playing.

    The trick is that you use every possible opportunity to remove their ability to deal damage. Throw anything and everything under the bus to prevent nexus damage. They run out of gas really fast, and then their deck just doesn't do anything anymore.

    Having any kind of healing in your deck also helps.

    Side note: Burn Aggro already got nerfed, like less than 2 weeks ago.

    Wow their ability to deal damage was massively gutted : rookie can no longer attack twice when dropped turn 2 and rearguard got removed. 

    Too bad that both of them are less of a problem than than THE ACTUAL BURN

    like burn is the last interactive mechanic in LoR and require to play certain regions to have meaningful heal (and btw tavernkeeper sucks at his job)

    Burn is the main thing I play and it's definitely not in need of a nerf.  The last nerf did enough, imo.

     

    How did they not hit your face but still killed you? what were you doing the whole time? It takes so much mana to do 20 damage without hitting face..

     

    Maybe you're just playing a deck weak to burn or something but they should never be able to do 20 without hitting face before you kill them.  If they weren't hitting your face that means you were playing early interaction, and early interaction is how you beat burn.  Getting early chip is basically burns win condition, lol.

    Well ... I am used to play a DEEP deck ... no need to say that the more burn I suffer the faster I go deep :)

     

    I am 69 years old and still reach Legend

    I find these posts funny. If we rewind the clock pre-Rising Tides, everyone was screaming "NERF ELUSIVES"

    And if I recall correctly I said, "Stand United needs to be changed to 4 mana, because it is out of control with a Zed deck and the elusive problem will be resolved with new cards being introduced to the meta."

    One new set later, and no one complains about Kinkou Elusives or Zed Stands Alone anymore. Hmm... now we have moved on to new reasons why I can't win games and it is clearly not my fault, its only because X wasn't broken.

    X = Burn Decks, Unyielding Spirit, and Pilfer Goods.

    This has been one of the best meta for Runeterra. There is a little a bit of something everyone in every region of the game.

    Ask how can I get better at beating Burn and not whine about burn needing a nerf.

    It was nerfed. Pretty hard actually. He probably just got good draws or you didn't properly play around him or don't have enough ways to heal to take on burn. Who knows.

    Yeah, when I was maining a Deep deck, I usually welcomed one of these Champion-less burn decks, even before the nerfs, because I didn't have much problem with them. Heimer/Vi decks have been my bane lately.
