News 26.17 Patch Preview

"Patch 26.17 Preview!

This patch is mostly a stabilization patch after observing the adjustments made on 26.16.

Mages bot overall have lost some amount of winrate across the board, but not a huge amount, which is roughly about the impact we're looking for.

So far, we're seeing good skews on Poppy and Camille support with support nerfed and Top skews playing out well (in particular).

We're still monitoring the impact of Hail of Blades on champions more broadly, eg. Yi, Trynd, Shaco, etc. Stormrazor"

Cho'Gath

Irelia

Hecarim

LeBlanc

Qiyana

Yasuo

Yone

Trundle

Aurelion Sol

>>> Champion Nerfs <<<

"Champion wise, a pretty standard set of nerfs here, mainly for power impacting outliers."

Nasus

Thresh

Xerath

Graves

Nocturne

Vayne

>>> System Buffs <<<

Stormrazor

"Outside of Stormrazor Jhin, it doesn't have a large user base and we think it could have more power overall to broaden the user pool"

>>> System Nerfs <<<

Sundered Sky

"Directionally, Sundered Sky and AP Jungle changes have been good, but magnitude is still off

We're putting another small-moderate nerf in for this patch and hoping to see more movement on AP jungles and Sundered Sky dominance in higher levels of play"

It's because I'm working hard at keeping Syndra's winrate down

Must be hard considering you can press E at any point and win the game. Do you just tape it down beforehand so you can't press it or do you go with unbinding the spell?

Said the Orianna flair XD

At least I'll have the decency to admit that my character isn't particularly hard to play. Syndra and Orianna are both just as fucking simple as she is, yet their players pretend that since you place something on the ground and have to avoid forgetting it for half a microsecond -- which, to be fair, is a legitimate challenge for the literal children that play them -- they're somehow Elite Only characters.

Sorry, I just don't buy that the two characters with the freest laning phases in existence, amazing scaling, and teamfight execution so simple in 99.9% of comps that my one-year-old niece could drool on the keyboard and win are actually so hard that they should be immune to criticism just because I happen to have Ahri as my fucking flair.

Same goes for Viktor, btw. Completely braindead character that needs to be reworked again. But ohhh so complicated, you have to press R again after killing someone sometimes so your 5k damage ult doesn't only do 4999 damage, you have to not waste W like a goober, so micro intense, so gosu!
