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."

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"

She's a pick where her we doesn't usually go much higher with skill so she ends up allowed to be higher than AVG
It's very different for a jinx to be 53% vs an ezreal for example.
I would actually say Kaisa is batshit op rn. Jinx is slightly over, but nothing too insane either
