Hi thanks for being so interactive with community. I was wondering what thoughts are on irelia right now. Most of ireliamains seems to think she’s still much stronger in the mid lane than top lane. Is moving her to top primarily still a goal?
believe we still generally want her to be a top laner (even though she has pretty much always been better mid). don't think we'll push hard on it since any work on her is heavily restricted by her traditionally high presence in pro and high elo
Just wanted to say hi and hope your day went well.
hi thanks. it's been busy because upcoming holidays. speaking of which, happy holidays if you celebrate them!
U.gg has him at 50. He had a normal win-rate before the conqueror change. Why does he and only him of the juggernauts deserve to eat a conqueror nerf, while Mordekaiser has a 55+% win rate, for example? Makes no sense to me.
morde is 53% winrate (scaling down to 50% winrate at high elo)
Seeing Wukong is in an eternal work in progress (on the rework), cant the balance team do something about it ??
we can nerf him pretty hard, thats about it. since hes got wip work, we don't want to do major mechanics changes on top of that, and hes 54-55% winrate in midlane (with an equivalent playrate there to top lane) which prevents us from buffing him anywhere else
avg winrate across all champs is actually 50.0% exactly
Wait...how could it be anything else?
this is conqueror's winrate... not all winrates in league
Hey bro, do you know anything about the Azir/Corki stuff? IIRC the balance team is waiting to see how conqueror would affect their winrates before changing anything, so I was curious if a verdict has been reached for either of them.
we are considering buffs for both of them
Any plans to do something about poor Urgot, the one ranged character who relied on it before the pre-season changes?
not at the moment but we've been talking about it. right now hes actually in a pretty good spot: 52% wr for AVG elos (90% of our players)
How does shaco get a nerf over olaf karthus lee sin? I really just dont get it
Thanks Captain, can you also uwu
nowu
Could you elaborate on why you guys are backpedaling on the Elder buff duration? It made more sense to me being the same duration as Baron buff.
We wanted to simplify it if we could, which is why we equalized durations.
But:
Hey Captain, can you share the team's thinking on Conqueror post nerfs
MAYBE
edit: looks good to me. it's no longer stand out best keystone on Azir/Ryze/Cass/Aurelion Sol, and it's winrate isn't particularly high on core users (avg winrate across all champs is actually 50.0% exactly over all games so far on 9.24 (literally millions of games))
Shaco main here. Thank you for lowering his banrate, you have my gratitude; Shaco WR went up by 1% with the preseason patch (ugg source).
I'll be glad to be able to play him at last. (Although AP Shaco is much better than AD Shaco, AD is taking a bigger hit, that's my only issue unless the numbers actually show otherwise).
Agree AP is better right now, but Lethality is getting a small buff which should help AD build (and if we only nerfed by 5% AD ratio, that would be quite a meme nerf).
Clarifying ocean nerf. The regen period was also extended from X over 3s >>> X over 4s
Ocean soul's impact on a team's winrate in an even game was actually around twice as much as baron or cloud soul, so we are nerfing it harder than the other souls
shaco nerfs seen kinds kinda random. if its aimed at support shaco then I supposed riot is reneging on their "champs should be able to flex in multiple roles" ideology
it's aimed at AD/AP jungle and AP support. they are all like, 53-54% winrate for various player groups
Can we get a direct or indirect Morde nerf already?
Our Morde mains discord is living in constant paranoia.
maybe
he rounds down always. its min(floor(Attackspeed/25%), 30) bonus spins
Do you think Conqueror in general may be too strong or is it just on ranged users
its a bit strong for mages/ranged users, but basically the same for melees (rose like, .3% winrate for them or something insignificant)
But isn't Conqueror getting nerfed for ranged users, which will affect them both?
yep. suspect it will still be their best keystone. if we need to follow up on them, we'll do that next patch
Corki and Azir getting buffs, say sike right now
Actually probably pulling back on that. we dug into their winrates a bit more in depth after and turns out you should probably be taking conqueror on them
So were those iterations ever tested internally
like, a year ago
