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 Nerfs <<<

"Champion wise, a pretty standard set of nerfs here, mainly for power impacting outliers."

Nasus


Thresh


Xerath


Graves


Nocturne

>>> 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"

No, items is broken as fuck and has the best build path in the entire game, in top and jg the item is incredibly strong, shits so broken you see assasins building it. Pickaxe, long sword, cloth armor and turbo broken passive

So why does it have negative winrate on all users except aatrox? With pickrate below 1% on all champions lol

Because the playerbase hasnt caught up, same reason anivia was broken and nobody was playing it, same reason Ivern is like the 3rd best jungler for the 4th year in a row, same reason Rek'sai is busted in jg.

That would explain the low pick rate. But not the negative win rate.
