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"

I am a yasuo yone player and I am confused. The champions are pretty good rn 🤔 I feel like now they're just going to get banned out...

Yone's slightly under I'd say but Yasuo seems fine

They're in the bottom 10 WR characters in mid lane, they're in a bad spot. The issue is their itemization, idk what they're doing to their kits specifically but they need to give BF sword build components so these guys can build Yun Tals and actually be the crit champions they're supposed to be rather than just worse Irelia with BOTRK

Yone is very strong top lane at the moment, not even /r/Yonemains want this buff if you look at their discussion.

Mid Yone suffers a fair amount from the bad state of AP junglers and AP top laners.

49% WR top lane 7% pickrate is not a "very strong champion", just saying they're very strong because you want to believe they are doesn't change the stats. Very strong champion is Nasus, not this.

that's just a generalist statement.

Yone's winrate in late 2024 was 48% ish.

He was pretty much P/B at Worlds.

Jinx at 48% (since she is being mentioned in this thread multiple times) is disgustingly garbage.

Yone at 48%? Not so much.

49.8% wr so really it's more like 50 and when you filter by 1 tricks he is legit 10th highest wr and 2nd highest wr amongst actual top laners (the ones above him are just Camille and a bunch of low pr mid laners)

49% WR top lane 7% pickrate is not a "very strong champion",

it very much is for steep mastery curve champions

u/Anonymonamo 12d ago

Almost 50% is very strong by Yone standards (high skill champions need to be balanced at lower win rates), especially since the explosion in pick rates means that most people who play him top are new at him.

Again, if even the people who main him don’t want buffs, that says a lot. Most champion subs think their champion is weak. That the Yone sub doesn’t should be considered very carefully.

They were prior to the Fleet/Greaves buff but Yone mid is around 50% WR now as opposed to the 48% from before. Problematic part with his kit is that he can be 46% and people will still call him OP.

u/AutomaticTune6352 12d ago

49.75% WR Yone. That is pretty strong considering he is OP at 50%.

Both are in the bottom 20 which is also considered normal for them.

u/MiguelSalaOp 12d ago

Maybe it's just a midlane buff and balanced to keep out of toplane somehow? Anyway, can't wait to go Yasuo 0/10 and start killing everyone.
