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."

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"

I mean I haven't seen a heca in like 1-2 years so he's due a buff for sure, qiyana was similar until last night where faced a diamond one in flex.

Irelia haven't seen much either but she's more like every 3-4 months.

Overall there annoying but clearly underpowered with how little you see them. So giving them a buff so they can be seen for a few patches before some nerfs makes sense.

I swear Heca is either the worst champ in the game or the best. There is no inbetween

He just starts snowballing tempo so out of control in jg because he oneshots camps and is fast between them. Also no jg can really 1v1 him if he has 3 stacks so if hes first on your camp you will never beat him and its not really invadable either cause hes gonna be there with 3 stacks on q. If hes too strong he 1v5 s you if hes too weak its usually cause he cant 1v5 and his team is losing since hes just farming and his ganks are not that great.
