According to the bugfix list there's no Rek'sai bug fixes  Sux. Maybe if we're lucky it's undocumented.
|
Putting essence flair on an item better suited for bruizers is pretty bold. But tbh is probably fine since buffing crit adc is a nerf to every other class in the game anyway
|
Riot bug fixing champs that don't sell skins, pfft not gonna happen.
|
It's actually a worse item. The item is more expensive and less gold efficient than old ER, even on champions like Riven who got 0 value from the mana related bits.
|
wonder whats gonna happen to lucian/ez/( i ban vayne) every game
probably not much?
|
the assassins might fall even more now with the new dancer
|
So is akali now trash tier, or balanced?
- Cass change is dumb, it could even be considered a buff if she's ahead because of the ratio change.
- Essence reaver looks niche, because they nerfed the damage but it gives a lot of crit. Guess we're seeing Xayah build it again.
- Stormrazor has become a strong lan8ng item for the likes of Cait and Ashe but scaling has been gutted to the point it might not be worth it.
- ADC meta is back bois, I'm so happy to finally shit on tanks again.

No Urgot changes. No Karthus changes.
I sometimes wonder about how riot thinks about making balance decisions. If a Karthus skin comes out next patch or we finally get star guardian urgot then these changes can be evaluated as cynical cash grabs. If the skins don’t come then I have no idea.

I always thought that Karthus ult is detached from league's design and it should have range like pantheon's and TF's ults. All league globals have some drawbacks like being a skill shot or range restricted, only karthus can press R without thinking about it

I think akali is still pretty good. might just not be a first pick and blind it into anything pick anymore

Who the fuck was blind picking and first pickin akali on 9.2?? She's dead pretty sure. Already was dogshit in soloq, and now (she was already starting to fade in competitive btw) she's fucked in almost every lane in comp as well.

Now that Camille is nerfed, Kayn's gonna be SSSS tier in LPL :D

um like every single pro team in the lck?
by dead i'm assuming you are ignoring lck because last i checked she was first pick or ban pretty much every match at least among the top teams

Ah, you were referring to competitive. Yeah, I think she won't be first pick/ban worthy anymore. Would have to see how much it hurts her but we just saw last week in i think it was the Afreeca game how important her healing was. She's fp-able cause she can be flexed between mid/top but idk if that's going to be possible. There are big changes in the top lane meta coming too so...too early to say but soloq at the least, she's fucked.

I still think she will be high priority. Healing/turret shroud hurts but its not enough to make her garbage tier from first pick or ban status every single game. Though this is mainly through the context of LCK since they seem to put the most priority onto Akali with good success.
As for soloq, its mainly just bad players but laning power definitely matters more there so it should hurt.

If she does stay relevant after these nerfs...fucking hell how does Riot justify these champ designs and number man... She's getting hammered patch after patch and still could be relevant.

I think these were good changes compared to the ones previously. They actually target the parts that made her broken af. I'm hoping she's just ok to good now

Yeah but once again Riot shows a complete unwillingness to nerf the most obviously broken shit out of a champ's kit and it becomes dogshit for soloq. They nerf all the surrounding shit (making the champ trash for soloq but still fine for comp) and then finally nerf the root problem and the champ (usually) falls out of competitive favor and is troll pick in soloq.
You'd think they'd learn by now but.... /shrug
