He tweeted:
Kai'Sa nerfs:
Q AP ratio reduced from 30% to 20%
W cooldown refund reduced form 77% to 75%
Tbh, these AP ratio nerfs do not look convincing, but obv they do not want to hurt the champ overall. Imo they should be addressing Statik and Nashor items which are the main issue facilitating AP Kai'Sa, but it seems they do not want to kill her off as an AP option.
External link →u/phreakriot can we get some thoughts behind the changes and what they are aiming to do
Q change: differentiating the builds. If AP Kai’Sa has a weak Q, it makes the build have a meaningfully weaker button
W change: lower the chance of popping 5 plasma stacks from across the map. Keep in mind this is more like an 8% CD nerf, like changing a 6 to a 6.5
Neither change is massive. In truth Kai’Sa only really needs about 1-1.5% wr nerf.
But players are really bad at reading patch notes and understanding them. Pros included. We will likely ship another nerf because perception is reality.
