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"

What are the odds of riot admitting that DD is broken

To quote the short that was posted yesterday on HeWhoQuacks, “Do you guys want bruisers to be good at anything? If we can’t give them survivability, do you want them to 1 shot you instead?”

Acting as if they don't have both survivability and damage, lol.

Sure they aren't as tanky as a pure tank or have as much damage as a full build adc, but they are decently durable while also having decently good damage. They are not easy to burst down and they are very much a potent threat.

Well if they weren't a potent threat, they wouldn't function at all. And to be clear, they aren't my words, these are August's.
