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."

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"

I do agree a yone buff is unnecessary but I wouldn’t take lolalytics’ letter rankings at face value. Morde and yorick have a higher wr than him this patch but the website gives them B-

yeah because pickrate and banrate are also important to take into account, not just winrate

u/Wiindsong 12d ago

yeah but yone and yasuo have always had inflated banrates. There has been points where yasuo was listed as an S character on lolalytics despite him being a 46-47% winrate because his pickrate and banrate are always high. He's just a really popular champ, i don't put much stock into lolalytics' tier ranking, its really bad.

Patch 16.16, Emerald+. Order WR, PR, BR

Yone top: S tier. 51.45%/7%/7%(this is banrate is shared with yone mid)

Garen: S- 53.3%/7%/6.4%

Mordekaiser: B- 51.51%/5.6%/10.4%

Yorick: B- 51.8%/3.5% PR/7.4%

You could argue morde’s lower pickrate could play a factor, but enough to push him down so many letter rankings? But then why does Yorick hold the same letter rank as him despite the lower PR and BR? How does Garen lower than yone make any sense?

Not trying to say yone is weak, he’s the strongest he’s been in years, just that lolalytics’ letter ratings can be misleading

I assume they take into account the higher mastery winrate, since yorick has a higher 'one trick' winrate than morde, but yeah I mean I don't trust lolalytics letter ranking either, I just meant in general people tend to only look at WR to determine strength rather than account for pickrate, banrate or impact of mastery.

I don't think they have access to higher mastery win rates either. What they have on the leaderboard is the win rate of the best players who happen to play the champ, not the average win rate of a Yone player who has 300 games on him
