@Shyvadi0 I know it’s just otp cope but you do realize that in spite of shyvana’s ‘0.3 armor’ she still has a 52% winrate across the board right

@Veigar_v2 Mainly a support player thing, dont often see much good come from that role.

how can this be the level of our server?

Patch 26.12 Full Preview! Cassiopeia - We pulled Cassiopeia nerfs from the 26.12 patch, but intend to nerf her in 26.13 - We still want to work on a changelist that preserves some of her strengths and the things that her players love about her, Top Lane Meta - Aatrox has been generally a little on the weaker side, especially for higher levels of play and so these changes are targeted at rewarding him for matchups where he's already favored and able to get sweet spot hits off more reliably - Gwen is also being buffed a bit with her early laning strength (which we walked back pretty significantly in an earlier patch). With K'Sante rising in priority (from DHelm buff and other meta shifts), we're also positioning Gwen as a good pick into these tanky Sion and K'Sante style picks - Similarly, Jax is getting more throughput in early trades both in regular matchups and in some of the matchups that favor short trades (eg. ranged matchups) - Overall, we expect the Top meta to have a few more fringe and counterpick options available Hwei - Some of the slow stacking changes to Hwei were a lot more power impacting (negatively) than the buffs that he received in the positive direction - As a result we're adding a bit more power back into his utility aspects that allow him to be a jack of all trades, rather than just being a master of none Tristana - Tristana, has a bit of room in bot lane and especially in the midlane where changes to the role quests (that favor a bit more utility/roaming > farming) have been a bit unfavorable there - One of the changes that impacted her negatively was adding a mana cost to Q and so we're adding a bit of that back to give her a bit more pushing power - This is especially impactful because of Tristana's low base and scaling mana pool Ryze - Ryze is a bit too durable, especially in the early game and he often wins lanes/gets push by simply autoing champions and hitting them with guaranteed damage through W's, E's and autos - Ryze will still be on the durable side, especially with his early catalyst purchases, but these nerfs are intended to make him work a bit harder for it Lee Sin - Changes to Lee are targeted at bringing down some of his damage through both guaranteed means (as he is more likely to get on top of people with more access to W hops) and unreliable means (Q hits) - He received a pretty strong net buff in the highest levels of play, more than the winrate movement would indicate Lethality Varus - Lethality Varus continues to be one of the strongest bot lane champions and also acts as a meta suppressant - We're attempting to open up the meta a bit by moving more of his power budget into attacking builds and also nerfing the throughput of his Q poke in the AD heavy builds

@RiotPhroxzon How are characters like seraphine escaping nerfs every patch? This champion is completely turbo broken yet i see no nerfs?

Patch 26.12 Preview! MSI is on Patch 26.13, so this is the penultimate patch before then. There are a few things that we'll be monitoring on the 16.11 patch as we see how the 16.11 changes impact the Bot Lane meta, which is currently pretty heavily dominated by Enchanters and Ranged Supports. Teleport - Especially in Pro play recently, we've been seeing some usages of Teleport at very short ranges to prepare quite large shields for tactical usages in combats (such as objective fights) - While this is a cool usage of the spell, it's a pretty unintuitive behavior and we want to skew its usage to be better to use for its cross-map and "joining fights" capabilities - As a result, we're reducing the duration of the shield and increasing the shield amount by a bit to compensate Yuumi - Last patch, we had a change to Moonstone that fixed it being doubly impacted by either Grievous Wounds or Heal and Shield Power - Yuumi is one of the few champions who has Heal Shield power baked into her kit and so she was disproportionately impacted - As a result, we're compensation buffing her Lee Sin - On 26.10, we made some adjustments to Lee Sin that gave power back to some of the fun elements in his kit that lost a lot of power over the years (namely the amounts of dashes he has access to, etc.) - This made Lee Sin a pretty strong champion in higher levels of play again and in a way that we think is fantasy aligned for him - However, the magnitude is a bit too much, so we're pulling it back slightly - We're happy with the shape of the changes and how it's affected his power curve though Mid Meta - For average play, AP Xin Zhao has been tearing up the rift with a lot of his power budget in healing, especially in the early lane creating some pretty uninteractive lane states - We're tapping this down, as well as some of the top end healing in the later game - Otherwise, a few adjustments to the champions who have a bit of room in Solo Queue like Hwei, Sylas, Syndra and nerfs to some of the top end like Cassio (who really benefited from Deathfire Touch being added) and Ryze and Ori who have been strong for pretty much the whole season

@Kiki_Conic thank fuck bro

the enchanter nerfs and mandate rework making Nami go from S+ to D tier in a single patch im crying 😭😭

@tioks122003 @RiotPhroxzon 53 to 55% winrate average in adc every rank

@RiotPhroxzon Making champion useful for 3 weeks and then basically reversing the bug fix

Patch 26.11 Preview! In 26.11, we're making a few adjustments to the Support ecosystem to improve diversity, especially in terms of melee vs ranged balance.  We're also doing some continued followup to champs after some of the Season 2 changes have been optimized.  AP Xin Zhao has popped out as one of the most striking and fun champs, but his healing is a bit on the high side, especially when he's outhealing some of the champs designed around healing.  That said, we still think healing a bunch is exciting and worth supporting, just not at this magnitude.  Systems - With the role quests in Season Start, ranged supports have risen to the top of the pecking order - They're both the best at multiplying ADC's who are strong currently, as well as benefiting the most from being in lane for role quests - Roaming also pays a higher systemic cost as it puts both yourself behind on quest progress and makes it so your ally ADC can't stack their quest - Overall, this has been desirable, as we think in 2025, roaming was too high for the most part and especially undercut the satisfaction of players in bot lane wanting to a play a “real laning phase” - At the same time though, we do want to open up a bit of roaming power on the grub timing after early lane is done and so we're buffing up the reward of grubs just slightly - We're making a broad set of changes to both improve the desirability of some underpurchased items, as well as more finely tune the purpose of various items in the ecosystem - Other systems adjustments this patch are changes to Experimental Hexplate that aim to make it shine on both melee and ranged users.  - Currently the best users are champs like Nocturne, Olaf, Vayne, Varus and we think we can strike a better balance on more champions while also making the item tradeoffs more apparent for durability vs damage on Vayne and Varus (mostly manifesting in Top) - The other systems impacting changes are some adjustments to Diana and Ekko jungle who have been slightly worse for wear there (though Mid is mostly fine)

@_Chrysaetos_ @Shyvadi0 diana

@Shyvadi0 Who the fuck is dantes even playing thats like a tiny rabbit girl in a giant orange dress. Is it like, heavenscale ezreal jg in a weird pose??

the shyvadi invade, in action

@fishwasher @hastenbside @cocabobi Where did complaining and crying every patch get you

@MellowEmak @hastenbside @cocabobi "holier than thou" doesn't work here man. sera got a rework that nobody liked and has been untouched for three whole years, mains fucking hate it. just because you're fine sitting idly by as your favourite champion is getting gutted doesn't make you a better person than others

🚨Sera Q reverted to pre 26.9 center hitbox logic on pbe❌📉 back to wheelchair.

@fishwasher @hastenbside @cocabobi My shyvana champion has gotten shit changes recently and the only time i complained about it was when her winrate was in the gutters. im unhappy but you dont see me crying every patch about it not receiving changes like every seraphine otp

@MellowEmak @hastenbside @cocabobi when they kill support being the main role and make her a hyperscaler again instead of weird lane bully that falls off

@fishwasher @hastenbside @cocabobi You seraphine players will never stop complaining despite the champ being S+ tier broken every patch every role every build. Maybe when she is 80% winrate youll finally be somewhat happy?

@MellowEmak @hastenbside @cocabobi insane self report by not being able to read stats websites

@SugarKultist You are a retard

I got banned from the deepwoken discord server for educating stupid crackers on what slavery is IN DMS and how white racism isnt a thing. GG

@hastenbside @fishwasher @cocabobi
