Patch 26.7 Full Preview!
Shyvana
- We're still working on a larger set of changes for Shyvana, but they haven't been finalized yet (I mentioned the direction of some of the changes yesterday)
- For this patch, just a change to make Ultimate Haste interactions and also the Sylas interaction nerf from previously
Cassiopeia
- Buffs to 2 areas that Cassiopeia thrives in; her initial mana pool for early all-ins when she tags with Q
- Her maxed E, to reinforce her sustained DPS identity
Kalista
- Kalista has fallen off significantly in priority in Pro Play, which means we can buff her for regular play!
- We're focusing the power in the core area where people play her; her E damage
Rell
- Similarly, Rell has fallen off pretty significantly as well
- Her initial Ult damage will increase her threat in early all-ins, while her E will allow her to fulfil more of her mobile horse identity
Veigar
- Veigar is in a slightly strong spot for regular play midlane, but is really rocking the bot lane a bit too hard, especially in regular play
- The nerfs are targeted at R which sits at Rank 1 in bot lane for quite a lot longer than in solo lanes
Singed
- Singed is looking a bit too strong in especially normal play
- While this nerf looks like a bit of a meme, we expect it matters more than expected on paper just due to the number of stats impacted when ult is active
Ornn
- Ornn is just a little bit strong, especially given that he has a relatively steep mastery curve
