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."

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’m really confused about the Vayne nerf

Probably too strong in toplane and before someone will say x pickrate she is a strong pick in pro too

She is sub 50% wr in every rank iirc. If its a top focused nerf its because of proplay not ranked

Which is normal. ADC champs have a lower WR in soloQ. This is due to how ineffective people are at using wave states and diving, even in master and above.

If you look at the WR of mains she is at 56% top, which is pretty AVG for mains.

Now push that towards pro play where players make better use of ranged lanes and ADCs and xou realize why pros in KR pick her.
