Your assertion is that bombs as an ability should be static damage because they're too strong on some champs but too weak on others (sandbagging them). You can make that assertion about almost every single ability in the entire game. Attack: poison is a lot better than attack: psychic on a champ with choking aura, despite both abilities costing the same. A champ with boost and improve range is going to be a lot better if it's a backline support unit rather than a melee beater; despite giving the same pricetag to both units. Arrow throw is a lot better on higher damage units than it is on lower damage units. I could go on for pages of examples, showing you that regardless of how proliferated bombs are, they aren't going to outweigh every other ability in the game that shares the same problem.

You fail to realize that what you're actually arguing against is the existence of a formula that assigns costs to abilities in a vacuum, and that you've somehow landed on bombs as your scapegoat because they're widespread. This is why manual cost modifiers exist; to account for the fact that the game doesn't take place in a vacuum. You can see what happens when manual modifiers are not correctly assigned to account for overly streamlined champs (terraformer).

You asserted that bombs on low damage champs are sandbagging them, hurting their viability. I showed you an example with lodestone armory of throw axe being a useless sandbag, thus hurting it's viability; thereby showing you that this isn't unique to bombs. You retorted by saying that champion doesn't get run, which was exactly my point. That's the irony you missed.

I may be a scrub in game, but I'm the pox battlemaster of pointless forum arguments.
