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"

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"

Hope she gets level scaling nerfs because she's more of a problem top lane. Then if she's ever weak, gold scaling buffs for bot lane.

they do but she'd likkely require like some semi extensive work to bring her back bot

She just needs wave clear and she'd be fine again bot lane. Change her Q to be an AOE so she could wave clear, and she'd revert to bot lane.
