Do you think the increased pen vs recently shielded targets might make it read like it is an anti shield item, at a glance I’m not sure if the payoff for the mechanic is really there

Yeah the mechanic as presented is not really pulling its weight and needs probably more power budget to be put into it

The goal for this item was that it wasn't explicitly meant to be an anti-shield item. It's a pen/burst item first for its core users & just has a nice sweetner if people have shields. The Serpents Fang design actually causes us a bunch of problems long term, in that shields are used by champion designers to create defensive moments for champions & when that doesn't function properly due to systemic tools like Serpents Fang, then it can cause issues for champ design.

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

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

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.

Its very likely Yi's nerf will be punted a patch

You mean around 80 AP, not 60.

DE only gives 60AP and I wasn't including runes

No flame but here in reddit we just type "git gud". No point explaining things to somebody who wants to disagree

It's very easy to confuse how things are with how things ought to be :p

Hey Riot Dan, why are you arguing with these people? They just want to validate their feelings by ranting on Reddit and hope people agree with them.

I wouldn't really characterise what I am doing as arguing, I just like talking about League.

I mean, i build that because the other part of the team were all AD, Akali was the only AP user on that team, so if im not mistaken, from now on, I should build only to counter Akali? I have to focus everything, throw all armor and just focus on trying to counter an AP champ with 2 items? how is that even balanced to begin with? bare in mind she wasnt even that fed to begin with.

No wonder people are just using Mages as supports, "tanks" arent even that good if you have to either a) counter most of the team, or b) Counter one champ in special that can 1 shot everyone with 2 tank/AP items

Picking Galio support into a composition where you have to itemise primarily armor is an uphill battle. If not being played vs a primarily magic damage team, Galio loses a significant amount of his tankiness; he has no innate tankiness compared to most melee champions if not against magic damage, with his only really defensive addition being the active portion of his W. Galio support is mostly picked for its disruption and anti-dive capability, as well as being good against magic damage heavy compositions; it's not picked for its tankiness, because as I've discussed, Galio on his own is not very tanky even when building tank items when he is at a level deficit.

There aren't many items that give resistances of both types for a reason - It is intended that if you heavliy itemise toward armor, that you will be weak against magic damage champions. The way to view this is that because you've itemised full armor, your team should focus down the Akali because that's what will deal...

I like how you didn't read the part where I said it was bad for playing against an akali in isolation. Isolation means by itself, so if you were playing against just an akali in your game (which you obviously weren't, it would be bad. I know that reading is hard and you're probably slobbering all over your keyboard, but I'd try to learn to read a little bit more.

Also tanks are very strong when they actually build tanky. If every nautilus and leona started to build ever frost instead of a tank support item and then building only armor and complaining about the akali on the enemy team, then we'd have some serious issues.

When you play galio support with ever frost instead of locket like it's intended, you are essentially playing a mid lane galio, except now, your galio doesn't deal damage, isn't positioned in the mid lane so it can easily ult to both sides, and it isn't tanky. Well played.

I know that reading is hard and you're probably slobbering all over your keyboard,

there is no need for personal insults.
