Some pretty fun buffs and nerfs coming through, any champs we missed?

As an aside, we're still watching fighter items to see if they need any adjustments but there's nothing immediate there.

His win rate looks the same to me like it did few patches ago so what changed? I haven't played the game in a while but i can only assume Death Dance and Bork changes boosted him enough to make it to the nerf list? Otherwise you have to look at other champions like Vayne and Riven that deserve more attention than Yi. Curious to know what you plan to nerf, the E?

not that much has changed recently, but the gist is his lethality build is dumpstering low elo, giving him a persistently high ban rate (and winrate) there. will try to fix that, esp since we don't particularly love duskblade Yi resetting and invising through a teamfight anyways.

I would remove or nerf the crit from the Q, never been fan of the one shot build anyway and in my opinion on-hit is just better in higher MMR than crit because of all the Zhonya's and Stopwatch in the game so maybe balance him around that. I really hope you don't screw him up in Plat+ MMR.

Edit: Thank you for giving some context

crits a somewhat fake lever, since the crit build goes rageblade second and the lethality build goes crit second. AS tie in is more likely target (CD Refund on attack) if we act on the Q specifically

Any context on the Xayah buff? Didn't really feel like she was struggling like Varus is rn. Hoping it's a buff related to shifting power into Crit from Lethality.

Varus cannot be buffed because he's alrdy decent in proplay, and usually op there before being any good for other players
