also, this game is much more forgiving towards carries.

you can't take away their gold.

even if they don't get any ganks, they can make up what they lose by killing what, 5-6 creeps?

the current deathfire grasp is awful and seeing how carries can stack hp like nobody's business, it would be really nice to have a madred's equivalent for casters. who gives a **** about veigar doing 1000 damage when carries are up to 3k? carries become really strong starting midgame (even if you prevent them from ganking) and by late game, whether your win or lose depends almost entirely on:
1. how many carries your team has
2. what the carries are (eg. trynd + yi)
Wait, Deathfire Grasp is awful?

When was this?!

Alright, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that the first line is complete and utter bull.

The second is easily countered, unless you have like 800 armor *cough*rammus*cough*

The second two are countered by cleanse. As well they should be. This is supposed to be a game. You are supposed to play it. Not sit and watch your team die from chain aoe stun because you can't do anything. CC/stun are unfun mechanics.

Which brings me into number 5: Why is it the mentality that carries should be uber strong? Stronger, perhaps, because of the slower going late game, but they shouldn't outclass non-carries to the point of "if I farm x gold, we win." So why is it that carries need to be so abnormally powerful (tryn, yi, corki, ashe) that CC over load becomes a necessary mechanic in the game to balance them out? That's like compensating for one unfun mechanic with another. It's stupid and asinine.

you know you'd choose the old mejais over the current deathgrasp if you could.

so you're saying rammus is a staple in every game?

unless you're rammus, carries are free to choose whoever they want as their target. that screams imbalance

Totally agree with this. Ganking a carry does not set them back like it did in dota. In DOTA if specter started out 0-3 his recovery was a rough road. I don't think trynd has the same rough road ahead of him.

This could also be a function of items feeling relatively cheaper ( to purchase) then DOTA

^ this times a million. Cleanse has broken any hope of taking down carries before they rape your team out of existence. It's become bring the most carries to win.

Exactly. It's almost impossible to play a tank if a carry manages to pick up last whisper + black cleaver. Not only do both items increase damage out put heavily, they both shred armor.

Also, rammus should be a staple. 4s uncleanseable taunt. With a short cd. Oh, and it silences you.

The solution to this problem isn't nerfing cleanse or buffing cc. It's toning down carries.
