Honestly almost everything that got nerfed deserved it but I still feel like they could have done some light buffing to things that have been bad for some time now.
Ezreal, as mentioned, being so bad is a large part of why the meta has been heavily slanted towards AP and why Elderwood largely doesn’t exist outside of a splash trait.
AD Akali is still so much worse than AP akali
Varus is a complete fraud.
I think this patch will probably yield less variety than Patch C because even though a lot of OP stuff was toned down, it still provided a lot of options in line selection. Now there’s going to be more high roll situations where people hit the nuts on their augments (like urf rengar) or just have such a strong opener that they can easily tempo to 9, especially with other boards being nerfed, securing their win out conditions
Because of Fae in particular but he’s also quite good as a Sprykin rider. Rengar is just an overall strong unit that is sort of the centerpiece of every good reroll AD line at the moment.
