We are buffing Crit as well this patch (it's in the post), stay tuned.

We will nerf the items (manamune and lethality for example) if they are too good on the non-intended users, keeping us from buffing it for the intended users. For example, manamune would have to be nerfed because Cass and Orianna use it too well, even though the intended users (marksmen/fighters) are looking (mostly) balanced with it. It's not to stifle creativity.

Something to make the effects less... effective on them like it was in 10.22 on Duskblade for example, or like the current eclipse melee/ranged split.

Nunu seems strong right now, the tank item nerfs should target him a bit.

Not sure about maw, I do know that it's not meant to be the primary MR pick-up for marksmen (Merc should be that), but not 100% if it's looking balanced overall.

Level differences duo lane vs solo lanes is a big controversy I see around a lot. I agree it can be drastic at times, but I know that before we changed it, top laners would have low chance to influence the game if too much of the battling happened bottom lane 2v2. The XP change kept the game from being decided too heavily just in bottom lane. It's possible it hasn't aged too well, not sure.

Just at a glance, his win-rate is not nearly as drastic as the other champs listed here. If he's an outlier after these changes I'm sure we'll follow-up.

It's a change to make it more about your teammates proc-ing than just you doing the damage. But you can do whatever your heart desires sir

To be fair, that's with Shift being held (the "more info" button).

All the scaling and such are collapsed into one final number any time you first glance at it.

Big changes incoming. Squeezing as much as we can into each patch without sacrificing our ability to understand the effects of the changes.

Good.... cosplay time

'twas.

He survived on SKT which has way more insane fans than TSM

Huniiiii

Don't worry there's also people complaining about Twitch's low aggregate win rate when he's being brought down by his atrociously bad support performance.

Wow a popular balanced assassin? What is the world coming to?

👀👀👀

I think critbros still building terrible items on average (still might need buffs but not on fire)

dude just @ me next time SHEESH

Yo, I don't work on League anymore, I've been locked in the R&D dungeon for sometime now (^{please help meeeee}) but y'all typically don't instantly flame me when I post so here's my take on Preseason, the LoL devs, and this tweet:

• Preseason is always kinda whack. I remember the Runes Reforged preseason, a bunch of champions/runes were way too strong, a bunch were way too weak, there were problems, we actively worked to try to fix them
• Seems like the same is going on here. I went and played with the new items, overall I like the direction, but my boy yasuo seems weak with the crit changes. I trust they'll adjust things though
• Now, I could just be a Riot shill (I am), but back when I was on League this was the busiest time of year. I was grinding both in the months up to preseason and especially during preseason (when all the juicy data and feedback was coming in)
• I don't believe the LoL dev team is just "taking it easy" rn.

Pentakill was top of the metal genre on Apple music for over two weeks when the album released. I'm a lapsed metal head personally but I remember how amazing it was to see the community love an album made by a gaming company.

That’s amazing. Kudos for helping out them out. :)
