@RiotPhroxzon Please nerf ap kog maw

Patch Preview 26.6! Overall - Overall, the game is looking pretty healthy in terms of balance and broad satisfaction - Over the coming patches, we're going to be looking at some of the champs that have felt a bit unloved/worse for wear and would love to hear your suggestions (both champions and systems) Systems - Chempunk Chainsword has been one of the weaker Grievous items for a while. While we don't want Grievous items to become too commonplace, as it subtly degrades champion kits when too common, it is still just a bit weak for even that purpose - The support item minion penalty has been a pain point for support users and with role quests, the risk of funneling (why it was there in the first place) has been reduced pretty significantly, so we're removing that drawback Shen - Shen Jungle has really started to take off recently, which is really awesome to see! (thanks xPetu!) - That said, he is a tad strong, especially in lower levels of play Zaahen - We're really happy to see Zaahen picking up a sizeable audience in both Top and Jungle, but now that regular players, in addition to experienced players are starting to demonstrate that top end mastery performance, he's looking too strong across the board - Currently, we think his Jungle is a bit stronger than Top, so the nerfs are mostly focused there Skarner Top focus - Skarner has been out of the spotlight for a while and since we've tapped down a few of the things that were causing him to be overbearing in Top (especially W max and the E point blank kidnaps), we think he can get a bit more power there Olaf - Jungle Olaf has fallen a little behind the pack so we're adding some power back

@drewlevin @frenchwastaken so this makes the best play if not being contested to use your mid recall after hitting the rift but before your jg kills it so you get both. seems weird but okay

@frenchwastaken intended

Hi @drewlevin I've noticed that when you have both herald and mid quest empowered recall buffs ready, both get consumed on first recall. Is that intended, or is it an edge case/bug you guys didn't account for? Attached is link to video of it happening youtu.be/T2iiDw47p0g

@Vayneski you took most of your hp from kas and a champ with an execute killed you. idk seems normal

Mel combo belike: Auto Miss Q - Auto Miss E - Auto Fail use W Hit half Q - flash R 1100 dmg profit.

@DanielP56697430 @SARNYthegoon @RiotPhroxzon anyone who thinks she's op can't click sideways when she presses E

@SARNYthegoon @RiotPhroxzon Mel is literal trash anyone complaining shes op needs their head checked

We've hotfixed changes in for Mel and Zed jungle. So far we see both changes with a larger nerf skew towards Elite play. We're not looking to overly correct this, but will let it ride and re-evaluate. Mostly looking to correct the power issues here. Mel - Health per Level: 93 ⇒ 99 - Passive Damage per Projectile: 8-25 + 3% AP ⇒ 8-30 + 4% AP - W Shield Amount: 60% AP ⇒ 70% AP - E Root Damage: 60% AP ⇒ 70% AP Zed - Passive: Damage to Monsters: 0.5x ⇒ 0.75x - Maximum Damage to Epic Monsters: 100 ⇒ 175

@RiotPhroxzon Axiom arc?

Patch 26.3 Full Preview! Ranked - Apex Negative LP Gains: We've found and are resolving the cause of some of the Apex tier negative LP issues. There will still be some negative LP gains at the super top of the ladder as the very very best players are pushing the limits of what's possible in the system, but it shouldn't be as widespread as it is - Aegis of Valor Eligibility: We're upping the value required for Aegis claims from C to B; we're seeing C's be too easy of a criteria, we think B still accounts for players needing to "play well enough" while accounting for players being on an unfamiliar role - Duo at top of Challenger: After being able to observe the power of duos on Live and how they're performing across the ladder, the very top of the ladder duos (eg. rank 1&2 together or 2x top 10) are too strong together. So we're making some adjustments to make these games more fair. - Enabling climbing indicator on 26.3: Climbing indicator is a feature that will help players understand whether someone's rank is low, but their MMR is higher (they are still climbing!). This will help players have a better idea about fairness of the match when there's say a Silver in a Plat game Jungle Champs - A lot of the proposed changes yesterday that were causing alarm were actually Jungle specific changes; don't worry we're not trying to buff Naafiri mid for example - In the new Season we wanted to increase Jungler ability to take objectives as part of their unique role power, amongst a few things like Epic monster durability adjustments (+armor to Drakes for example) - This & some new item additions caused a large internal shift of which champs were strong and weak in the jungle - This patch is our first pass at rebalancing these champs across the board - In general, many AD junglers are getting buffed, AP jungler nerfs (along with the Dusk & Dawn context from yesterday) Item Changes - There's a bunch of concern about Riot specialing certain champs (like Dusk and Dawn users) - For the most part, this is targeted at being power neutral on the item, but shifting its power budget somewhat - Some champions like Diana, Ekko, Varus synergize disproportionately extremely well with D&D and will receive targeted nerfs (but still find the item very attractive) - Actualizer is being buffed, and so to compensate as it's current only user, Ryze is receiving a nerf Mel - Riot Emizery put out thoughts on the changelist and I tweeted about it a while ago; can read up on thoughts there for more context - We will follow up where necessary for any balance adjustments required for Mel - We intend for these changes to overall be winrate neutral, but frustration down

@S1XD6XX riven has also been god for some time now

She still ok Btw how did Diana dodge nerfs with the same winrate and x3 playrate

@risteband and all the other boots lost 5ms but not these ones

One of the most insane item changes of S16 and I completely glanced over it reading the patch notes last week. For reference, Phase Rush gives 50% slow resistance when triggered. These boots give 65 MS and 40% Slow Res PERMANENTLY. Ridiculous counter to things like Rylais/Ashe.

@nurieaaa @ProjectAsheNA its way to cheep for what it is doing

@ProjectAsheNA Its too op for what it is rn 😓

REMOVE THIS FUCKASS ITEM RIOT

@jarmelvarmel123 @RiotPhroxzon what other mage can shred 45% of your MR with a spell? seems like an issue you have with eve an immobile assassin not mages

@RiotPhroxzon btw well done guys, mages especially evelynn when u buy maw against it its basically like i didnt have it, thank you guys, u are awesome! :D and u really know what ur doing :D

Ran into an AI Discord bot this weekend and overtook its prompt to ask for a cupcake recipe xD (don't accept any dodgy discord links!) And also ran into my first successful lobby termination for a hostage taker threatening to grief for not getting their role!! Remember to use your reports to help us out, these systems don't work without your help. Griefers watch out!! The AI cupcake was disappointing though...

@TheRPGDave @cancerratarded @drewlevin @RiotPhroxzon yeah i got +100 lp after a win

@cancerratarded @drewlevin @RiotPhroxzon In theory if you won and got double lp could you have huge gains in just placements alone?

"no lp loss" for a game i wasnt gonna lose lp for anyway cause it was in placements ;D @drewlevin @RiotPhroxzon maybe look into this so we cant get autofilled in placements

@Iron_Eternal @WhatleyLeague i think he just ss his items in game

@WhatleyLeague Why is dorans ring here?

New Season coming, changes look good, but there's one change I'm not excited for... These guys are going away, I will miss them.

@nikolas1145 @GanyuIsBeauty it has over 30 million players daily and over like 150 million deferent people per month.

@GanyuIsBeauty What??? How?!?

what game is this?

@asgaronean1134 @donotreply57127 @TomlinsonCJ @daniellismore liking*

@asgaronean1134 @donotreply57127 @TomlinsonCJ @daniellismore if by apart of the group you mean not like fascism sure? but the way you talk about antifa makes it sound like this twitter account and website doxing people and i'm not a part of that

This

@asgaronean1134 @donotreply57127 @TomlinsonCJ @daniellismore i still don't get how people saying that means that "antifa is justifying killing" do you want me to agree that random people who are anti fascist said some very fucked up shit, anyone can agree with that. but saying antifa the idea justified Charlie kirks death doesn't seem true

@Uber_Defeats @donotreply57127 @TomlinsonCJ @daniellismore People such as yourself claiming to be Antifa have online, in person at Charlie Kirk memorials, in classrooms as teachers having their students watching his death on repeat. Have you lived under a rock the last 4 months?

@asgaronean1134 @donotreply57127 @TomlinsonCJ @daniellismore never said i'm a part of a group lol. I just want to know what the fuck you are talking about. where is the mass of antifa calling for death

@Uber_Defeats @donotreply57127 @TomlinsonCJ @daniellismore Also if I claimed to be part of a group and then a large amount of people in that group called for violence I would separate myself from that group. Why won’t you?

@oncoffee4222 @lunarfq @H10UD LMAO yes i give riot the FREE in game money you get by playing the game so i can play fun event you got me man

Men, delete one forever Football. Sex. Music. Women. Money. Water. Weed.

@asgaronean1134 @donotreply57127 @TomlinsonCJ @daniellismore is that on the website or the twitter?

@Uber_Defeats @donotreply57127 @TomlinsonCJ @daniellismore Antifa justified Charlie Kirk’s death because they claimed he was a fascist. They repeatedly use violence and then justify it by calling anyone standing in their way fascist .

@asgaronean1134 @TomlinsonCJ @daniellismore the account you linked isn't even active bro. and i was replying to the guy saying that antifa is saying its okay to kill people we don't like. and you haven't shown me anything. some account that doesn't even post doesn't meet that claim bro

@Uber_Defeats @TomlinsonCJ @daniellismore You are using the Motte and Bailey doctrine, acting like Antifa doesn’t exist or even have a twitter account, when proven wrong you act like your argument was about something else.

@donotreply57127 @asgaronean1134 @TomlinsonCJ @daniellismore you know like anyone can put like anything on etsy... still don't see anything here where "antifa" is saying we can kill whoever we want as long as we don't like em. but spit your lies king

@Uber_Defeats @asgaronean1134 @TomlinsonCJ @daniellismore Various etsy sellers had Charlie merch with a hole in his neck. Gonna keep pretending like you've been living under a rock?
