@SloppyWalrusX@RiotPhroxzon This champ does not need buffs lol, disgusting what things it can do, if anything it needs an E hitbox nerf, my jaw dropped when i tried gragas one game and clicked on E to see the indicator.
Can we buff Gragas? His Q shouldn't cost 80 mana lvl 1.
If any Rioter wants to have a chat with me about potential Gragas changes I'm down.
I'm also aware that he's a nightmare to balance because of his E flash kill confirm combos. But I think he deserves a little bit of love, his early game is just disproportionately bad especially if you're forced to use mana to farm early (vs good players)
I never ask for buffs in public spaces like these because I think it's kinda cringe but I'm lowkey getting desperate🥀
Patch 26.5 Preview!
Ranked EUW Test
- We ended up getting delayed and the new plan is to deploy around 6pm PST tomorrow (roughly 2-3AM EUW)
- There will be about 5-10m of Ranked downtime, so we're doing this in off peak and monitoring that things are working correctly
First Stand on 26.5
- We made a significant number of changes on 26.4 and so 26.5 is a more conservative set of changes to ensure a good Pro meta for First Stand
- Ori, Azir, Neeko, Lethality Varus are some of the strongest outliers in Pro Play currently, and so we're tapping them down
Items
- Hubris is looking just generally underpowered
- It doesn't really have an audience and also doesn't exhibit the same properties that other snowball items like Mejais have (higher winrates because being purchased when snowballing)
- Bandlepipes is looking pretty strong, especially on second item. Locket is one of its primary competitors so we're giving it a buff on second item by flatting some of the shield value
Patch Followups
- Lillia is looking a bit worse for wear after her buffs in a previous patch were over magnitude, so we're giving her a bump back up (it may end up getting delayed to a future patch if we need more time to land on a higher quality changelist, but haven't decided)
- We're looking to see what Mel looks like at a higher power level after making some of the frustration lowering changes in 26.3
lulu W is pure humiliation
you spent 20 minutes getting fed
you're 8/0
you're ready to 1v5
you're the main character
and i press W
now you're a squirrel
all that gold
all those kills
all that ego
irrelevant for 2 seconds
and 2 seconds is all my team needs to delete you
men hate polymorph because it doesn't matter how fed you are
doesn't matter how good your mechanics are
doesn't matter how hard you're trying
i decided you're a squirrel now
deal with it
you're not the carry
you're not the threat
you're not the playmaker
you're a creature and my adc is farming you
the audacity of thinking your fed status means anything when i have point and click cc
baby i don't care about your 1v1 outplay potential
you're a hamster
sit
study the luumi way
14.17 Full Preview
It's the final patch before Worlds.
Talked about the systems changes yesterday, talking about a few of the specific champion changes.
High level, we're looking to continue getting a few more mages into Mid lane, nerfing AD systemic options further, bringing a few more AD junglers up and systemically nerfing some of the overpowered Tank support items.
Caitlyn
- Caitlyn hasn't been present in the meta for a while
- We're giving her slightly better control on one of her skill skewed spells and better scaling that doesn't skew towards Lethality builds
AP Junglers (Brand, Lillia)
- We're continuing our trend of bringing down AP junglers around the Fated Ashes power level.
- We think the item is doing a good job of allowing other more fringe AP champions to jungle reasonably and are tuning the other champions around it
Graves, Kindred
- Looking to get a few AD junglers back into the meta here.
- Looking for relatively known buffs to their core damage abilities
- Kindred in particular has been looking worse for wear after a Kraken nerf that was targeted at other champions (cough AD mids cough)
Lissandra, Ryze, TF
- Some of the Mage oriented buffs this patch are aimed at furthering their particular niches; Liss as a more utility oriented Mage and lane presence
- Ryze as he's not seen play for a long while and is feeling a bit weak relative to the other mids present right now
- TF has lost some of his luster in recent times, and we're giving him a stable buff to his bread and butter with the hopes of seeing him more in meta
Leblanc
- While LB would be a valuable edition to the World's meta, she's overall too strong for solo Q, especially in Elite play
- She's posting pretty high banrates across the board and warrants a nerf
Aurora
- As mentioned yesterday, Aurora is a pretty deep mastery champion and is posting pretty good statistics, which indicates she's likely long term too strong when players have mastered her
- We're looking to bring down some of the potency of her multi-champion ult casts to hit at some of her Elite skew as we often observe higher skill players using it more effectively than regular players
Rumble, Kennen
- Rumble and Kennen have been a little too strong for a while and as a result have been a relatively more powerful to bring AD champions in Mid
- We're tapping them down a bit to open up room for other champions
Supports
- We're making some nerfs to items that Tank supports (especially the meta drivers) buy (disproportionate nerf to Supports rushing 1st item Warmogs) -> we also think Warmogs is generally too powerful even for income tanks
- We're also tapping Seraphine and Senna down as Seraphine has been strong for a while, especially with her W max, so we're flattening that out some amount
- Senna's AP builds are too strong on the current patch, and as a viable alt build, it should probably be closer to that, an alt build
Sylas
- Sylas is in a better spot after the buffs to get his numbers into a better spot
- We're nerfing his ratios a bit more to make his HP oriented builds a little more competitive (typically have less AP) than the pure burst builds
@FrederikPe70628 So we also deemed this an issue in PvE.
With resourcefulness it is no cost, 9 second cooldown, don't need to channel like imp Blizzard, ranged, and doubles up with Explosive Trap.
You will have to add risk or movement into melee to accomplish a similar effect, which is healthy
We have removed Frost Trap from Trap Launcher in Season of Discovery.
Frost Trap without putting yourself at risk was really oppressive.
This won't affect Lock and Load PvE rotation as Freezing Trap will still proc it. us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/trap-…
Varus Stat Pass:
- Base health regen increased from 3.5 to 5.5
- Health regen growth reduced from 0.55 to 0.5
- Base attack speed increased from 0.658 to 0.675
- Attack speed growth reduced from 4% to 3%
- W on-hit base damage increased from 7 - 31 to 7 - 35
@SanEGLoL@ralph_gordgory@Spideraxe30 Zed is just very boring to play into. All laning he will just Q farm and avoid any engagement while poking you from behind his casters and maybe killing you at 6 with point and click stuff. Very unfun champ to face that’s the truth zed mains must understand.
@ralph_gordgory@Spideraxe30 Not really my friend , there's a lot of champ who have high banrate and isn't broken, there's a difference between
I ban a champion because I don't like to play against him or he's cringe or past trauma from previous seasons
and i ban a champ because he's broken
zed was 1st.
Zed buffs:
- W cooldown reduced from 20 - 17 seconds to 20 - 16
- E base damage increased from 65 - 145 to 65 - 165
- R AD ratio increased from 65% to 100%
@Spideraxe30 I love playing vs a melee assassin who farms all lane with Q and harasses me at xerath range with WQ then goes to R aaE ign me and leaves, not even having to hit a Q. Very fun to play against mm yes. Atleast hydra is gone so he doesn’t lifesteal back to full now.
@kevin_pepino When i first used it her a few weeks ago i was like wtf why is this allowed xd. Its especially funny to do it into a big band using super sonic jazz
The order of operations, often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)), is applied to solve this problem.
The expression is: 2 + 5 * (8 - 5)
First, solve the operation within the parentheses (8 - 5) which equals 3.
Now, replace this result back into the original equation: 2 + 5 * 3
Next, carry out the multiplication operation: 5 * 3 = 15
So the expression is now: 2 + 15
Finally, perform the addition: 2 + 15 = 17
So, the answer to 2 + 5 * (8 - 5) is 17.
@redwingbuff@EclipseDestiny2 Nah theres some situations where your guns are sufficient and you don’t need synthos, Lorely literally acts like an extra life. Synthos are the better exotic generally, but if you think Lorely is useless you lack more than just critical thinking.
@kevin_pepino I got an interesting combo here for you, can’t decide between the first three but i guess one for each genre and and an extra 4th old favorite.
