Free Ass Boots moved up to row 1 in Inspiration on PBE and all previous changes, minus the 50g upgrade discount, reverted. Biscuits moved to row 2.

Feel like it's messing with the theme for the rows and moving Stopwatch down and pushing Dematerializers up would make more sense.

What do people think about the echo buffs? Is 10% starting attack speed enouph for him to jungle. My gut says no.

Well he could jungle before, so yes.

but why would you take the sightstone item as a jungler (which you only getter after completing the quest) when you can just get the warding smite?

In pro play, having 6 wards per back instead of 2 is certainly going to be helpful. And in solo queue, maybe you just want blue/red smite. The point is that the item isn't a gigantic waste of gold like the Sightstone items used to be.

So it seems that the green smite / new Sightstone passive is the same, i.e., if you have both you still end up with only 4 wards. Pity.

I think his kit is overloaded to the point that he can never be both in the meta and healthy for gameplay.

are we playing buzzwords bingo? personally i think he's toxic for the game without meaningful choices and his non-interactive mobility creep makes the game both unfun and also antifun. his burden of knowledge contributes to a lack of clarity and endgame fantasy while inhibiting strategic diversity. plus his kit is just so binary and lacks counterplay.

I've been mostly on board with the balance team over the last year but they have made mistakes a few times. This Nunu one is just too much for me. What is the point? There's no middle ground with this buff. He's either broken or it does nothing. Why the fuck are you pushing that kind of change when you admitted he needs a big overhaul?

Reworking Nunu is admitting the game is broken and cannot tolerate any kind of uniqueness. I sincerely hope they dont do it.

I'm fine with them taking nunu out into the streets and gunning him down like the degenerate he is.

It is definitely amusing to see that Reddit thread that's like OMG NUNU CAN NOW TAKE BARON AT 20 MINUTES

Yes, he "now" can do that ...

sucks being a Nunu player, whenever he isn’t garbage people want him nerfed asap. This buff was definitely over the top, but it didn’t need to be and he doesn’t need a rework. The last time he was meta his health got hard nerfed, they could have just reverted that change instead of this very uninteresting change. Making Nunu universally strong as opposed to stronger when the othe picks are good with him / bad against him.

Also Nunu included I hate this whole unhealthy, toxic unfun for the opponent phrases people use about champions. Designing champions around being fun for the opponent ignores the far more important thing of being fun to play.

I'd have thought Riot be blessed with the foresight of making it adaptive in some manner.

Why is Ekko unhealthy?

Why does he have a speedbost on his passive when his normal abilities all apply a slow, or is a dash/blink? Why are his auto attacks all missing health executes when he learns W?

The execute was supposed to give him a way to finish his opponent. Getting onto them with his mobility, then using the passive to stay there and evade skillshots and stuff with the MS, and since he didn't have as high a burst as other AP assassins, the additional damage on autos was a reward for sticking onto them and giving him the ability to actually finish the job without relying on E + Lichbane or something.

Obviously they put too much move speed differential and too much damage on the kit anyway.

I'm more annoyed by Riven than Ekko design-wise, personally.

He should get a rework that wouldn't change his Q. Stuff like turning E into a skillshot, adding some passive to the ult or replacing W with something that requires more apm wouldn't harm Nunu's identity.
