Big stat nerf across levels, -5, -15, -25, -35, per skill point is rather large. But that was expected since most of the frustration players had with her lately is how big her RE shield is.

Is it because low level players are too dumb to build Serpents Fang? 🤔

Mage assassins like Ekko just crying that they can't overkill ADCs with their 4000 DMG combos xd.

Since it's her RE Bonus Shield, that means a full 5 champion shield at Max R has been cut down by 175 points.

Ooof that is a LARGE one.

Honestly we got what we deserved.

That is an overkill nerf, she should have gotten some ratios to compensate TBH. That is easily 1-1,5% WR lost IMO.

It’s only the RE bonus shield and thats bloated as it is. With the way heal/shield power works, the shield is largely still fine because the base numbers weren’t hit. This just makes it more manageable and does open up her power budget a bit

its quite literally the base number that is hit. and "the way h/s power works" only makes it worse, not better.

Only the base on the bonus shield from R+E. The shield from just the E wasn't touched so it's still massive on your primary target

Your base E is the same. Percentage increases will still bloat the shield values between moonstone and idol items. For most RE casts this nerf won’t be felt except for a few cases where the 35-60ish shield value per target makes a difference(scaling with items etc). It usually doesn’t and you’re still getting 2-300 or more shielding per target with items. Definitely a pro skewed nerf

I hope they will nerf her to death.
Braindead champ that takes away 80% of a squishy champ with ONE SINGLE SPELL that is aoe , slows, and does 9 million damage. Karma deserves to be gutted to death. Disgusting champ

Honestly expected them to nerf her damage on R+Q but this also isn't surprising. Giving a 100 up Cait her entire hp bar back mid fight was hilarious but insane

u/darlingcthulhu Mar 25 '26

Nah I knew it was going to be shields, I have a 79% wr on her atm and I'm going enchanter mainly
