Riftmaker is the only mythic for AP bruisers. It's either that or go tank mythic on Mordekaiser, Singed, Voli or Shivana.

Will you guys pay more attention to this niche?

Also will you do something with the Liandrys + Demonic combo? Maybe the should share passives. It is the only other item that seems focused on AP bruisers and it feels underwhelming because it is balanced arroud this interaction.

It's been really nice the way you've been popping into these posts. I hope people are treating you okay

What was the plan around the Leer/Riftmaker changes? I main Akali and I'm a bit leery about seeing my favourite mythic get adjusted. Is it another way that my favourite champ will be weakened?

Thanks for doing all the work you and the rest of the Balance Team do.

Do you guys plan to give Rageblade some love at some point or revert the cost nerf? I honestly miss the old rageblade.

It'd be nice if it didn't give the stupidly large amount of attack speed it currently does.

That said, how are maw and shits end doing atm?

That's a good point, but do you know if there are any plans on buffing Demonic (at least for melee)? The item is getting outshined by Rylais and even Nashors for DPS/item slot efficiency, and it seems like only ranged DoT champs are really using it now.

I don't really get how?
The item never really changed from it's predecessor. If anything it's synergy is better now. How did the satisfaction go down?

Riot seems so scared to buff Morde

Sorry for the question, but I wanted to ask this last time AP shyv got mentioned. Do you happen to know how AP Ezreal is doing post Preseason?

Dissapointed that the did a huge pass on items and thought Trinity Force wasn't worthy of improvement when Sunderer is beating it out just about everywhere

Do you sometimes mess with numbers internally just to see what kind of horrific abomination you can create? Because that is something I would do.

This is probably the wrong place to ask, but is Lee Sin w ap ratio going from 80% to 55% a bug or undocumented change?

Phlox, I was wondering if you could confirm if anyone was keeping an eye on Aurelion Sol after those changes to Mandate? He already felt rough to play, having to invest in Rylais before he got any real damage, and the change to IM has me worried that we're just going to struggle even more

When is the next deploy?

random question, do you guys think that with the recent LP/MMR fix thing, climbing will be easier?

especially with no promos, inflation could be a real problem.

Hey phlox, trying to get Pyke some attention, would be very keen to hear your thoughts on him. Take a look at this: https://twitter.com/SkyNinjaXD/status/1351035042185830406?s=09&

From the perspective of someone who plays every mage it most definitely feels... bad. Flat MS almost always feel terrible. If I could suggest any changes maybe it could be an amping move speed based on spells hit. That may make it too niche as the staple "AH AP item" but I think we need more items for AP champs anyways

Originally posted by Infinite_Delusion

Im just waiting on proper AH itemization for AP fighters. Late game builds tend to end with just 25 AH, while AD fighters typically get 50+ with 2 items.

I don't think being forced to use Ingenious Hunter and/or Cosmic Insight just to make a single item viable is good even if it is fun since we want to it to be a consistently viable option.
