Make his remount consistent. It feels ridiculous that sometimes you instantly hop back on your mount, but other times you die with full courage.
Nobody else really has this issue. Gnar transforms when he uses an ability, Viego goes invulnerable when he clicks on the soul.
It's only Kled who it feels like in fights you just roll a dice if you manage to get a remount or not. It also makes him feel way stronger early rather than late; which makes this nerf feel way worse since Gargoyle shield will be reduced, which means you have less breathing room when trying to remount in a close fight.
Yo thanks for this, I doubled the tickrate that the remount check is on. Kled should jump on Skaarl more consistently when he hits 100. Any other major earflicks you know of?
PERSONALLY if you ask me I would like it if you guys were to remove his grievous wounds on his Q completely, and in exchange got something similar to Pantheon's ult passive of the 10% armor pen per rank. To me that would be the ideal change, aside from that a revert of some kind on his Q cd nerf early game as it swayed so many of his laning phase matchups from good/playable to a lot more difficult since he already has to play around his W cd naturally.
Either of those changes would make me extremely happy :]
Thanks for the notes! I'll keep this in mind for sure for when we're looking at Kled more, whether that's next patch or not
I'm glad it seems like you guys want to focus on making AD focused Kled builds better, I'm assuming his winrate and pickrate will drop pretty hard after these changes since it seems like a large portion of the current Kled playerbase go a more tank type build. If he can get some compensation buffs after that I will be pretty happy to come closer to the original way he was played before last year :]
If there are any specific buffs or changes that you think could be really valuable for the champ, do let me know!
It's ironic, Ivern is 5 times more cruel to his "friends" in the jungle than the Nexus Obelisk could ever be.
Should've left them for his top lane Sion to stuff them into his cozy oven, now my average bonus HP value is going to suffer!
Sion toasts the krugs for some tasty bonus HP
f**king finally we can now free krugs instead of ignoring them
Free those little cuties
Huge Kled changes.
We'll be watching Kled closely. The goal here was to move him off of the tank build and give some compensation to make sure he isn't awful, but once this all shakes out we can take a good look at his AD builds and see what/how much they need
Can you make mages fun again? They were most fun in season 3/4/5 but after that, it has been pretty downwards... I thought maybe this new season will make things better for them, oh well.
What do you think makes mages not fun? What made them fun before? Genuinely interested to hear opinions from people on this w/out stating my own
Could you share the thoughts behind the glacial nerf? According to public data it's the 4th worst rune by winrate and the 3rd least picked after phase rush and unsealed. I combed through a lot of data for a video I was making looking for broken champs with it and I couldn't find anyone. It seemed like most guardian users went down in winrate if they use it (I theorize because the damage reduction to teammates doesn't make up for losing guardian shield early in lane). Is there something we aren't seeing from public data?
I'm at home rn but from what i remember every tank support by our internal data is at least 1% better with it. I wouldn't expect a massive nerf here tbh
Are the Caitlyn headshot changes in 11.24?
Yep!
Evenshroud nerf, Glacial Nerf
Looks like another boring season.
Doesn't help Inspiration minor runes as primary runes kinda suck.
Glacial is ~1.5% better than aftershock/guardian on like every tank. It'll still be powerful don't worry
I'm gonna be honest, I'm actually surprised they're leaving Vayne the way she is (for now)
Since we're touching a lot of systems we wanted to go light on champion changes this patch (system work causes a lot of disruption).
Vayne would've seen nerfs but we're adjusting LT so we'll wait a patch to see how everything shakes out
lord phlox bless us with a crumb of information about rengar changes. 🥺
I'm jumping back on the project now that preseason is shipped
Its a little bit sad that you ignored bruiser items. Trinity force had same problems as cosmic drive(+- decent,but feels meh to use(thanks to 200 hp and stacking passive) so it was overshadowed by divine. Can you do something with it?
Also bruisers feels like only class without "lategame" item. Adc have ie, assasins have serlyda, mages can run rabadon and tanks have stonepltate.I don't even talk about small amount of mr items(both MR buiser items are hot garbage) Its even more actuall with all that insane buffs for ap champs.
Definitely am interested in doing some fighter item changes, the system isn't in a perfect spot right now. I've been doing some light exploration there recently but I cant guarantee anything
Sorry I know this might not be in your area but do you know when the prestige shop opens
No clue sorry mate
Why no lich bane and night harvester changes? Basically nobody using them at this point.
Not every change we wanted to do could fit into preseason. I'm definitely hoping we can get to more items that aren't feeling great for whatever reason
Do you think hex gates will dumb down rotations/macro a bit?
Id actually expect them to make macro more interesting in games with that terrain. Different and faster doesn't mean easier or simpler
The best part of preseason is seeing the new meta
Yeah it'll be exciting to see what happens
big patch many word
Thanks for the reply! Yeah that's brutal. So is it purely based on either obscene win rates or extremely egregious bugs? Or is it also to do with ease of fixing the issue?
We tend to hotfix for either absurd winrates or egregious bugs yeah.
There was a bug this patch that yuumi could be permanently invisible if she jumped off of an ally who was eaten by TK that had to be hotfixed for example.
