thresh is another good example though. he's like blitz but better in every way. Zed/Khazix vs. talon is pretty bad too. | ||

Can farm decently in 1v2 - check Can initiate from ludicrous range - check Has insane sustain, made even more ridiculous by SV - check manaless - check 2, 3 are probably what I'd look at. Being able to force flashes from so far away with a non-ultimate level spell is just stupid. I'd also look at his passive being 3-3.5%. Makes him a lot more vulnerable in lane because he doesn't trend towards 100%, but rather 75-87.5% health. | ||

Most Zyra's take Q first too, does more for you at level 1. E first if invade of course. Why do you think taking Q first is better than E? I've found that being able to get a root + slow plant at level 2 allows you and your adc to get free autos because their adc can't get away. As for Q vs E max, I generally don't have mana issues if I max Q. As long as you stay at ~250 mana, you can still use your full combo without running oom. | ||

Trundle is literally the worst possible example you could have used. They literally did not touch trundles kit at all... They made his ultimate weaker against super tanky opponents, and stronger in most situations, and then took his massive AD debuff away from his Q and gave him a miniscule slow instead. His kit, his numbers, his play-style all stayed exactly the same. He didn't even get any stronger. He was always this unduelable troll of a jungler that was great all early mid game and then fell off the face of the earth unless the comp was build around using his E as a disengage. That didn't change. All the Trundle rework did was try to make him a more appealing character to play, really. Thats it. | ||

Q is extremely easy to hit compared to e, and it is does more damage + shorter cd + ranged plant. You can often push an adc out of lane with Q and then set up the lvl 3 kill when they return/overstay. | ||

I'll report back with the results  | ||

His Q change is a nerf in 1v1's too. his Q change? you mean the 1 second reduction on the cooldown, the animation fix that prevented it from hindering your dps, and the added slow? he reduces practically the same amount of ad (5 less at max level). the net buff on his Passive and his pillar, and the net buff on his ultimate. | ||

You are punished pretty badly in HP for missing, and if you hit you only lose half the hp you would have. Make it 4% Current cost, 2% current regen. That way you are not rewarded for leaving 6 blobs (exaggeration) lying around then getting a huge HP spike. | ||

Q- has a slight improvement in early scaling for less base damage, negligible slow, and animation QoL change. W- Increased AS in later ranks and healing amp while losing Tenacity E- Interrupt QoL change with duration nerf. R- Increased ult damage/drain, faster/higher early resist drain, and longer duration in exchange for less late game resist steal. It's a lot of the changes come with tradeoffs in exchange for QoL fixes that didn't require a rework. I think it's a net positive, but when you take all the changes into account, not by much.

He was batshit broken because in addition to what he already had, Riot forced him into relevance. V3.02: Siphoning Strike Fixed a bug where Siphoning Strike critical strikes were dealing more damage than intended. Mana cost reduced to 20 at all ranks from 20/25/30/35/40. Fury of the Sands Now increases attack range by 50 and cast range by 100 while active. Mana cost reduced to 100 from 150. V3.01: Siphoning Strike: Permanent damage bonus is now doubled to 6 when killing a champion, large minion or large monster | ||

Trundle's Q was a QoL buff because of the animation scaling with AS and the mini-slow, the AD buff/debuff was unchanged. His W was a buff standing dps-wise but I personally consider it a nerf because Tenacity+%MS buff was a very strong combo to let him chase people/gtfo when he got caught in the enemy jungle, even in the early game (think about how Mundo used his W's Tenacity, 'cept Trundle didn't max W first). His E was a buff because it interrupts channels now, however I'd rather call it a bug fix as it always displaced people, but for some reason it didn't stop channels contrary to every other displacement in the game. His ult had its numbers nerfed (unless he ults somebody with little MR and a ridiculously high HP pool, which won't happen in the early/midgame anyway) but was buffed in an "oompf!" way since it ramps up faster and lasts longer (especially at max effect). Where the heck did you see his passive changed or his Q losing the debuff or having its cooldown changed? You guys even linked the wiki, dafuk. | ||
