It's sad that Senna support has to get hit because of Senna ADC.

Boring patch. Most of the problem champions aren't being addressed aside from Senna and Aphelios, and neither of those two even have the map warping impact like Ekko/Elise/Lee Sin/Syndra/Zoe.

A Ryze buff too. You hate to see it! One of the worst things to see in a set of patch notes. Who doesn't love a fundamentally broken champion creeping into the meta when he's already one of the most seen champions in competitive play?

Is there a current direction the balance team is set on for buffing Nasus? There is a general consensus in the Nasus mains subreddit that he needs better early base resistances and/or better growths for starters. Some other ideas that have floated around were things like increasing his attack range to 175. Having 125 attack range in season 10 on an immobile melee feels awful, and his waveclear tends to suffer as the game progresses which limits his usefulness as a scaling juggernaut/splitpusher.

Unlike other champions Nasus does not want to build items like hydra and sunfire cape since it messes with his stacking. A change that can alleviate this flaw without introducing more damage directly to his kit is to add a damage modifier to his e that would scale off a percentage of his stacks that would only affect minions/monsters.

Wither tends to be a great limiter in his kit due to how toxic a point and click slow is, especially if it lasts 5 seconds even with one point in the skill early game. At the same its usefulness declines lategame when adcs have included a quicksilver sash in their build along with the vast amount of cc Nasus typically endures in teamfights.

Taking this into account I believe that changing wither so that it would apply its full slow on cast and degrade over time, and have its duration increase based on ranks (something like 2/3/3/4/5) can alleviate the problems with the ability in low elo while buffing its usefulness for Nasus players in higher tiers.

Currently Nasus's design also feels too ult gated. I am aware that this is a cornerstone to his gameplay design, but he feels so weak without it now that by the time he begins to scale, he is already behind the metagame and can't take advantage of the power that is there.

There are plenty of Nasus players eager to hear about the changes the balance team has in mind over at r/nasusmains, please keep us updated if there is some news.

Could we please get a comment on Jayce? He seems to be doing better but still nowhere near a proper champion in a supposedly early impact focused meta

not a priority? she doesn't even appear as a midlaner on any stat website. Sett, a melee bruiser, is played mid more often than her. Her mana costs are absolutely absurd and I'm guessing she doesn't sell enough skins to bother giving her reasonable costs.

Zoe's MAX mana cost, is her E, which at max level costs 80. That spell alone is the stuff of nightmares, which she can fire off all laning phase. It's only rivaled by Veigar's E, but that doesn't travel through fog of war. That one spell makes laners sacrifice tp/ignite in favor of cleanse, in hopes that they can escape a bubble and maybe, just maybe, be allowed to lane.

Taliyah's LVL 1 E cost 90, and scales up to 110 at max rank. Yes this is similar to other mage's "main" spells, like Ori W, but E is not Taliyah's main spell, her Q is.

You nerfed taliyah because SR team didn't like her shove and roam playstyle. But it's perfectly ok for Zoe to spend 200 mana, shove the wave, and run bot lane for a sleepy trouble bubble gank to snowball herself or bot lane.

If I can ask, what was some of the work you had floating around?

buffs are on the assumption that DD changes will lower that a bit

Riven remains untouched even though the DD changes will also lower her.

My first thought upon seeing this is that it's another cases of the "mains doing well on a champ". Most recent case I can think of was Aurelion Sol in the past. Players with many games and in higher elos had something like 53%+ wr, but every other strata was at sub 49%

I'd be interested in seeing which runes these people are taking at higher elos compared to her winrates at the end of season 9. For me and a lot of the other Tali (mid) community, she was pretty much unplayable before new Presence of Mind.

Can you elaborate how it is Lee Sin continues to avoid much needed nerfs for months now? The buffs you gave him for worlds (that were completely unneccessary in the first place) pushed him over the edge, and he has been overperforming since, being the best jungler for months now.

Ignoring for a second that win rate is well known to be entirely useless as an indicator for power (being about as accurate as a coinflip most of the time), which inexplicably you decided to ignore to make a balance framework that looks at the wrong things, Lee Sin has exceeded 75% pro play presence on several patches, and evaded a nerf. Hell, you have nerfed several significantly weaker jungles, like Shaco, even while Lee Sin dodges the needed nerfs. Lee Sin is dominating in the jungle, and far too powerful.

If all of this is because you're blindly following your balance framework (other than for Akali who qualifies for buffs but isn't getting them), then I think it's time you scrap the current framework and go back to the drawing board. Create a new framework, one that doesn't miss 2/4 of leagues most broken champs of all time, and 3/4 of leagues weakest champs of all time.

Edit: In fact, looking at it, Shaco fails to qualify for any of the frameworks nerf threshholds. Why are you ignoring your own framework to nerf Shaco, who isnt broken, while not ignoring it for Lee Sin, who is broken?
