Kai'Sa buffs

I kind of knew this was coming since even after the Aphelios/Senna nerfs, and the changes in 10.5 Kai'Sa's winrate and pick rate have stayed around the same, but I'm starting to think that this is a really bad idea. I don't have the data you do /u/RiotAugust (at least, I'm pretty sure you're the one working on these right now), but I can still contribute my perspective.

Why is Kai'Sa at sub 47% winrate right now in Plat+, and why has she been like that the last few patches?

Indirect nerfs, botlane power creep, and a suboptimal meta. By this I mean a few things:

• Stormrazor nerfs, Rageblade nerfs (this was a while ago), and ranged champions being adjusted to do less damage to turret plates.
• The existence of Aphelios (who literally has a gun for every situation, 200 years) and Senna (w...

So... honest question here, they're nerfing Nocturne (Mid) and Garen, which I'm OK with, but why are assassins (recently at least) kind of immune to nerfs?

I know people in here preach that Katarina is "an actual trash Champion" but her stats are almost the same as Nocturne's but with higher Pickrate and even Banrate yet Nocturne is getting nerfed before her?

Are they still trying to cash on the recent Kat skin or what?

I can see riot be like. "There! Now leave us alone!"

But imagine if she was sunbathing before the hug, so when she envelopes around you she's like a heated blanket.

you miss my point. I made an edit about it. A tank should be specialized in TANKING, not dealing damage. In NO circumstances a TANK should be able to 1v1 any other class. He should be able to survive it and if in lane to escape it or maybe win with help of turret. Otherwise remove the meaning of tank, bruiser etc

Gnar smells

Also, he's covered in mud

Okay Sylas may seem Rude but he just wants what's best for the people and has big muscles so he's got to be at least awkward.

BUT GNAR NOT BEING TOP TIER IS A SHAM.

HE'S SO CUDDLY AND SMALL! And sure in Mega Gnar he may look scary but I'm willing to bet money that if he likes you his mega Gnar hugs would be literally the best in all of Runeterra. A giant warm fuzzy grip.

Cassio could wrap around you like this, don't tell me that doesn't sound awesome.

And on the flip side of things, people seem to not recognize that much when an (enchanter) support helps. Like with Brand/Zyra you can at least see a ton of damage, or with Thresh/Leona/Blitz/Naut it's hooks and CC.

I had a fight once where we turned a 3v4 and I saved my Kayn at least 3 total times as Janna, interrupting multiple dashes, knocking every single person up multiple times, as he and my ADC kited and killed them all. Kayn BMed the enemy team in chat.

My ADC (who I was in comms with) said to me "I don't even think he carried that fight." I was thinking "yeah, I think I did." Then he continued. "Like, I was kiting that shit so hard I'm pretty sure it was mostly me."

"If Jizuke can add Ryze to his champion pool" did Jatt even watch any of EU LCS for the past 2 years?

I think FPX would have lost to any team that has a dominant laner mid and a dominant jungler. Caps and Jankos can't compete with the Chovy's, Rookie's, Tian's, Tarzan's, etc. IG has Rookie which can lane bully doinb but Ning's form last year made him bad vs Tian.

The only team left that has a dominant midlaner and jung duo was SKT. So that is why I think SKT would have won vs FPX. Griffin also maybe since they share the same mid jung prowess.

Not impressive going deathless in Finals vs a team that underperforms and with teammates that perma camp your lane. LWX has 4 supports around him and went deathless. Not that impressive when everything is revolved around him.

I promise you, put Teddy, Deft, Jackeylove, Uzi, Ruler, Perkz, Rekkles or any quality adc in his position and they would have done the exact same.

Langx did well though. 2 /3 levels ahead of Gimgoon and flame horizoned him game 1. Game 2 he still played solid and was ahead in CS in laning phase. Only Xiaohu looked lost. He did however troll that fight at Drake by going 1v5 and forcing XLB to ult onto LWX.
