i know this is early in the patch and data might be fake but the shiv nerf looks pretty big since now you can't kill casters with 2 procs the item might be dead. so:

would you look to change Kai'sa if the cheese umpral+dusk build became her best/most popular build since hybrid Rageblade is being hit again and, to be honest, Statik is the only good starting item for Rageblade hybrid. the AP poke build looks a lot weaker/(dead maybe) since when you build shiv+nashor's+ap mythic you heavily rely on the shiv wave clear since you don't have Q evo but shiv+rageblade as a second item looks okay since you have Q evo lvl 9 if you start Dblade but still affected by the nerf and the umbral+dusk being her best build i think is not ok since it's really cheese either you snowball and it feels very strong or you don't and be kinda useless

Right now the intent is to promote Hybrid Kai'Sa as the best version of her.

This requires some meaningful updates to the kit (W evolve is kinda illegal when it's not a meme). It's just a matter of prioritizing that work against other work.

In the short term, it's not a pressing matter, even though it's something we'd like to do.

A large amount of the measured Shiv nerf is LeBlanc and Zeri, who were directly nerfed this patch.

It looks to be about -0.5% win rate of power, which is reasonable.
