Hey Phlox! Sorry to bother, huge stuffs to report in from todays PBE build!

I see that Muramana and Ravenous hydra has been fixed for *certain* champions on todays PBE and Runaan's hurricane. The affected champions are: Katarina R (for Ravenous hydra), Warwick R (for Ravenous hydra), Urgot W (for Muramana).

Can you please forward this post to whoever did todays Ravenous hydra and Muramana changes?

-Urgot W does not apply Muramana/Ravenous to secondary targets *at all* in Purge mode if he has Runaan's hurricane Muramana and/or Ravenous hydra) (I am giving you my soul if you can make that change happen) the issue in its full glory. Here is when Runaan's + Muramana worked on Urgot W in patch 10.24.

-Sterak's Gauge and Phage regen is non-accounted for more than one ...

Tyvm, will pass this along

How do you feel about Sylas not being able to draintank because of how strong GW are now? If I remember correctly, you were the one who did his mini rework a year ago, and you used the words drain tank in describing how you wanted him to play out.

You got the wrong guy, sorry. I think Sylas is better than some champs at navigating grievous because he can actually get out of fights, that being said he's still getting hit by it at the end of the day

Sorry to sound pushy, but he does feel kinda bad atm.

Iirc a lot of people are building him wrong but if he's bad i believe we'll get to him

What do you think about Sylas not improving whatsoever?

Happens a ton, sometimes it's the rest of the system/champion moving. Sometimes its playrate going way up depressing winrate for a while. Sometimes its weird stuff like a new build/max becoming optimal and people messing up. Sometimes it's just lots of power in one elo and not in another

Is there any hope for another look at bruiser itemisation outside of goredrinker and steraks?

and also how is kled performing rn? because after the nerfs to GD steraks and rav his W/r d+ dropped to 48% from 51%.

Doing some light exploration on other items

What are the chances Veigar gets another pass to be looked at for follow-up changes if it doesn't do anything for his mid-lane play? Seeing how his current buffs are going to help support Veigar out more than mid.

I suspect the current changes are gonna help mid Veigar more but if he really doesn't get any help there I could see followup

Maybe I can post the meme I attach to it every week :)

Not sure we'd be willing to give low context data out biweekly (there's lots of weirdness with patch to patch data, especially early on in a patch)

I actually send out an internal email that's pretty darn similar to this every patch. Lookin good

u/RiotPhlox Apologies for the ping, but this bug is quite global reaching, not sure if it is on the to-do list for fixes.

Boss PLEASE. I remember last season that the Lethality stat in game showed us how much armour we were negating. It doesn't now, not even on the lethality stat tab. Can we have that back? It's useful information.

Cheers

/u/RiotPhlox

Yeah actually we were just talking about this

Hey! May I ask for a follow up on what they said? Preloaded todays PBE and Urgot W is still just at 75% on-hit, with none of the listed things working.

P.S Jayce in ranged form is unable to deal true damage on Kraken Slayer, unless if he crits (also applies if he uses W in there).

I let him know what was up, not sure if any change was made. Thanks for the Jayce tip, weird bug!

Had a question. There was a dev blog that stated: "We think rather than fully flatten the natural strategy and skill variety in LoL we would prefer to support the uneven role power but balance them into a tight spread so that all positions have the capacity to carry the game with good performance."

That is still the pillar for positional power right?

Think so

Hey Phlox! Not sure if you are in charge of the Urgot W buffs (50%->75%) but could they be swapped for a W being disctinct type of fix so his W could once again be usable for Phase Rush, Electrocute, Tear, Manamune, Muramana, Black Cleaver?

I'll pass it along to the designer!

Any news on Riot’s thoughts about Glacial Augment?

The rune is dead (except for Senna) and I haven’t heard anything from Riot about it or their thoughts on it or why they removed the glacial augment items.

If you aren’t the right person to ask then who do I need to @ I just miss my favorite rune and I don’t understand why it got ruined.

We've talked about it a bit, but I cant guarantee any changes will come or anything like that

Any discussion on Serpent's Fang? There has been more and more talk about it in the community and it looks like people are using it more often now.

Its 5 less AD than ghostblade, but 400 gold cheaper. You don't get MS bonus, but you arguably get way more damage when you fight enemies that have shields on it.

Its starting to seem like this item has quietly been really strong.

Yeah I think the item is really hard to weigh. Understanding when it's useful and how isn't easy and the stats aren't obviously why to buy it. I think there's a few items like that floating around which just aren't quite purchased as much as they should be for whatever reason

Hey! May I ask if any of the above bugs (dragon Q Hail of Blades, dragon Q trap damage and Guinsoo's Seething Strike on Black Cleaver and Ravenous hydra) be fixed in 11.3?

Nah not 11.3 sadly

Sorry if I hop on the question train, but was there any internal discussion on possible adjustment for fiora? This patch is gonna nerf her 2 most built items(hydra and goredrinker) and she has already 48.5%wr on u.gg

I have kinda given up on her for the time being and started playing other champions, was just wondering if anything is being considered

Absolutely could be something we do depending on how she looks after the patch

Have you thought about nerfing or adjusting BotRK? Many champions like Katarina, Jax and Irelia seem to be bypassing their mythic and going botrk early for heavy lane sustain that doesn't seem to make them weaker than going a mythic or anything

I really appreciate you guys nerfing healing across the board so thank you so much, I was scared the game was gonna revolve completely around healing eventually.

We've been investigating it though I cant tell ya if anything will come from that
