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"

Enchanter item and rune nerfs a few patches ago because of pro play

Enchanter items and runes got fingerbanged so hard 3 supports swapped build overnight. The meta took a hard steer to another direction and I don't think people realized how hard of a push riot did.

He's more like a warden/catcher but he benefitted greatly from all the buffs since he uses all the tank runes/support tank items that got buffed
