What about champions on the other end of the spectrum? According to u.gg Veigar has a 44.74% winrate in diamond+, 42.96% in d2+, and 47.65% in plat+.

Is the data inaccurate and he is actually doing ok? Like near 50? Playing him FEELS really bad atm. ass well as some others are the bottom of the winrate table.

Is there an item balance framework?

If this is true this is basically what the community has been asking for (nerf either the champion or the item first and then wait to see what the result is).

It's funny how reddit usually howls and complains when a champ gets nerfed at the same time as his items.

Agreed, but it's notable that malphs biggest counter (magic damage, preventing armor stacking) has been needed with mythic giving MR (i.e. It's impossible to build your first item and not have mr in your build).

His damage has always been pretty crazy, but with more ability armor scaling introduced in the last few years as well as this preseason introducing exclusively MORE dmg through sunfire, he's a strong boi.

Phreak, how do you feel about the current state of the game, especially compared to season 10 (or even seasons before)

Any inside infos on why riot chose to ignore GP for so long?

The scaling base AD buff was a joke and didnt address any of his problems

He is still sitting at 46% wr across all ranks. Even in grandmaster and challenger

This is off topic, but you're one of my favorite casters. Every time I play a game, I imagine you shoutcasting the silly names in my head.

Keep doing tons of damage to my heart. <3

I'm guessing this is because they've been going after his items.

AP Malphite, for example, seems to be pretty balanced. His most purchased AP mythic in Luden's is ~51% win rate. Considering the last three patches chain-nerfed tank items, it makes sense that they tried to hold off on nerfing him specifically while hitting items that needed it.

That said, Malphite is still broken and should be nerfed.

Funny enough it is worse for kha than previous season. It no longer can be reset with his ulti. It's an okay mythic but the others grant you so much more damage that it's only a win-more mythic.

ad is incredibly strong right now, and it's largely because all of the mythics are insanely good. Especially galeforce and kraken slayer, but shieldbow is almost as much of a problem too.

Duskblade is an annoying item, but functionally, it's a win more item. It's a mythic that provides way lower damage than other options for a utility passive that just isn't that useful. It looks incredibly unfair when ahead because it turns a snowballing champion nearly unstoppable, but doesn't actually do much to get you snowballing in the first place.

Khazix is the exception because it does actually give kha a ton of damage by resetting his passive and it synergizes incredibly well with what kha is already going (invisibility synergy, insanely low cooldowns, highly reliant on low kill time assassinations and resets).

Basically it's the mejais of ad mythic items. Looks insanely good when you're snowballing, and has specific unfair interactions (yuumi) but overall has a c...

Don't worry about not being seen, I added a link to your comment in the first post, so anyone that reads it will see it. I don't know/remember what was written in the post that you responded to (not this one, the previous one that was deleted), but I think perhaps you can try to see that person's point of view: the community had been told that healing was going to be reduced, but when this didn't happen, Riot didn't mention the change of plans. There have been many posts about the issue of excessive healing (I'll get to that soon) with no response from Riot, so it really feels like you wouldn't have said anything if that person had not been very harsh with their words. You can say that my post runs in a similar vein, but would you have tried to clarify anything or even responded if I had not worded it the way I did? I don't think you guys are setting out to ruin League, but you must understand that there is a huge power imbalance between player and dev team, multiple threads about ...

That's not what I'm saying though, for what reason would you go Horizon Focus over Void Staff? Void is:

1) Cheaper
2) Provides at least 10% damage 'amplification' against targets with at least 30 MR but scales much much better

You trade around 10 AP in terms of gold efficiency for a much better passive.

I suppose the argument exists for 'why not both?' but I don't think that's very good when you can build into Dcap after Void if you want pure damage, or an item that provides actual utility.

Hey Rioter do you actually have a favorite Philly Brew?

Players often feel that they only get noticed by the developers if they get a bunch of attention from the community. OP had a point to make, but if he didn't rally people together and people didn't upvote his post then you would not have seen the post, much less replied to it. I don't think this guy was trying to attack you devs, but in the communities eyes there is a big lack of communication that needs to be fixed asap.

The only GW item that I could conceivably see someone failing to apply the enhanced effect is Mortal Reminder. If someone is taking Putrifier they presumably have a CC they want to hit on people, and everything else is basically passive; my 60% GW on targets below 50% isn't really something I can control.

Also, I have more than enough anecdotes of someone with goredrinker or a lifesteal item still healing stupid amounts even with GW on for me not to like it.
