Ok so give back the 20 ad to deaths dance pls

It still has the 30 AR and MR. This is just a tooltip error because there are multiple loc files since DD is not shipping but is on PBE

There's only one real tweak to support items, it's the "ally nearby" requirement.

I was confused as hell by those changes, just realized they're the preseason changes that are already live. Ignore all the value changes as they're old news, no idea why they're there.

yeah this confused me as well >.> think S@20's bot bopped itself

btw dead allies count so if you adc jumps in a fire and leaves you alone in lane their corpse still counts x.x

You can say "200 years" for a lot of decisions, but in this case they are following a balance framework for mandatory nerfs that they have made fully transparent. They didn't have to nerf him in 10.4 because he didn't meet any nerf thresholds during the 10.3 patch. It is likely that he will meet such thresholds (or be much closer) during this patch with the sunfire changes (I think squad5 said this IIRC). In that case, he would be nerfed next patch.

If you take issue with the thresholds that they've set, that's one thing, but that isn't the same as them being incompetent.

he still doesn't hit any thresholds (pro is not on 10.4), but we plan on nerfing him as a separate call

Is it cause of people starting building it as second item after tri force for 40% cdr that u think its fine as it is? Is the team looking in another 20 cdr option since even champs like jax and irelia who do split are doing it?

Cleaver to me is more of a landmark item that we should tune around rather than tune

Out of curiosity when a champ does hit the pro threshold do you guys plan on nerfing them the following patch since pro play starts after you guys plan the next cycle's balance changes

not sure I understand the question

The latest Pro Play data is used to inform balance, but disregarded if we've made changes to champs since whatever patch that pro play data is on (ie: Aphelios OP in pro right now, but they are playing on 10.3 and we nerfed him in 10.4, so we won't nerf him in 10.5 because of pro)

This is complicated a little further by the fact we generally don't like nerfing/buffing the same champ in back to back patches since we like giving champs time to settle

You have been consistent in restricting a single defensive stat in offensive items from a design standpoint.

Armor - Zhonya, GA

MR - Maw, Banshee, Wit's

Why are you not following this rule in DD's case since you are giving it both mr and armor?

The item will be meta defining given how busted it is... please respect your own design philosophy!

sorry wut

How does Sett hit not any thresholds with 52% winrate 15% pickrate 50% banrate and being pick and ban in proplay? And how exactly did Singed hit the threshold? That one Bwipo games must have been too much right?

His pro presence is not high enough to trigger (>=95% one patch since he was last nerfed 10.3). 52% winrate is within reasonable bounds, but at the high end for a champ thats significantly banned.

But sett is over that (53.8% jungle Avg Elo) and is getting nerfs for 10.5.

So what you’re saying is that top lane Sona/Soraka will now run a reverse boosting strat where their jungler just runs top and dies over and over again so the passive still works.

perfection

Jumping in here to ask whether the AP bruiser itemization rework you teased around a year ago has been completely scrapped, and if so, why?

not currently being worked on.

I can't speak as to why we decided we needed to work on it in the first place; my personal opinion is that we have a plethora of AP bruiser items (almost all AP items are hybrid offensive defensive stat lines), and instead should be looking at champ kits
