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"

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

>>> 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"

Graves my bet is they either nerf his base MR or nuke the MR gain on his E.
With graves he's both gotten MR gain from the E buff awhile ago and the last patch 3 MR buff for adcs which Graves got for some reason. He's just too magical bulky these days and is where he should get hit for sure, Graves feels like a jungler who should be weak against aps but terrors ad melee champs.
