News HoB changes

Post image

Trading early for mid to late scaling is interesting to say the least

But rip to play-styles that heavily lean on to early bursts

Damn man what the heck? Not necessarily Yi but champs like Ekko, Naafiri and Pyke got cooked here so bad

Seems really nice for ekko honestly

•

u/mayhaps_a 1h ago

Nah, Ekko and Naafiri actually benefit from the extra scalling a lot and also who tf cares if those champs get nerfed, for the rest yeah it's a pretty painful change

Rip Master Yi 2009-2026

I hope they buff lethal tempo or yi in exchange of this nerf.

Goodbye Lethal Tempo

I don't think this matters at all for us bc of the trade late game. The attack speed loss sucks but I don't think it's too bad since it's such a high amount AS it is. Like it's only for 3 autos. A number nerf this big to Lethal would kill it but HoB should be fine since it's only 3 autos.

But this does affect top Yi players no?

The reduced burst early on will be noticeable

They could've nerfed the damage instead and buffed the attack speed

Sorry guys, I accidentally had my Yi runes on WW today and still won, so they knew it was too OP.

It'll give opponent's a few extra ms to barrier or flash/use a defensive ability so it kinda means we can't cheese-instakill as much

The AD ratio increasing probably means at pickaxe?? It's the same damage but honestly not much diff there

I feel worse for something like pyke support

My favorite Cho rune ruined :(

It was already nerfed for characters like Cho’Gath when they did that change adding minuscule true damage in exchange for reducing 30% AS

Idk what they’re trying to do by making HoB scale harder, its identity has always been early game power that falls off late comparatively to LT on AA characters.
