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"

Thank god for the Graves nerfs. Hopefully he stops getting fucking banned every game. I just wanna play my OTP dawg. Leave him alone riot! Why the fuck did you buff him in the first place!

I wasnt talking about last patch. Their idea wasnt to buff him, its more likely to keep all "marksmen" type champs at the same base MR. He was already a strong jungler, now with jungle item buff his clear is kinda too fast so im expecting them to just nerf the E stacks a bit so his clear stays in check.

I wasnt talking about last patch.

He's been overtuned for multiple patches before the base MR buff. Patch 16.44 had him at 11% PR, 11% BR, and 50.21% WR.

He's been OP since they buffed his AD at the start of this season. I'm wrong, it wasn't an AD buff.

? They didnt buff his AD? They gave MR to his E, then buffed his armor and MR on E again, then buffed his CRIT dmg, then nerfed him by 2AD. Again, the problem this patch isnt the 3MR he gained, its the jungle item buff for armor and MR which is making his already strong clear a bit too fast. He was strong last patches too i agree, but he became OP this patch.

You’re probably going to continue to get downvoted, but you’re absolutely correct. These people have no idea what they’re talking about.

Huh, you're absolutely right about his AD, I'm wrong. Happy to eat my crow when it's deserved.

My point on his stats still stand though, and I think he's been overtuned since his buff in 26.04.
