Where are the Irelia and Qiyana nerfs? Rakan nerfs?
|
I'm thinking Ornn support might come back with the 1 level faster item giving
|
Anyone else seen those Blitz Q changes, they are... incredibly clunky. The fact he can now safely pull buffs is a joke in itself (there's now no reason not to invade), but there are also a few walls that used to be safe that he can pull through, most notably the extremely thick wall in bot between the river brush and the lane. And the hitbox seems to be poorly defined.
|
I dont dislike the blitz change, otherwise, he was just a poor man pyke, pyke has the exact same abilities, just quite significantly superior, at least blitz has an identity again - the global hook :-)). Messing the hitbox is bad of course but its classic riot
|
He's inferior to Pyke because that champs kit is broken, Pyke hook itself isn't what makes him strong anyway, its the rest of the combo and his insane roaming potential. At the very least, I hope they address the Blitz hitbox bs quickly, but I feel that this is a bandaid solution, he needs a rework if they want to make him truly viable.
|
Can't rework Blitz and take the hook away, it's the most iconic part of him. Sure that didn't stop them from messing with stuff like Pantheon's identity, but Blitz's hook is just too big to ignore.
|
Blitz's biggest weakness is his self exhaust after you've buffed yourself. And it's so significant that only want to use it to all in. You can't use his speed to kite or to peel - I mean you can if the kiting only takes 5 seconds. The mechanic makes sure you will get caught if you lost the fight and you want to escape. They should at least do something to address that.

Wrong patch notes. Link points to 9.18 instead of 9.19.

My bad, fixed.
Tried out rek'sai. Still sux ;( Roll back nerfs plz.

The Blitz buff sort of piss me off. Counterplay against him is knowing Q CD and it's range/hitbox. It's not going to solve anything long term, once you get used to the increased range it's going to be whatever.
Doing something to his W or E would be a much nicer way to handle it for everyone. Refresh E cooldown if he lands a Q on a champion, increase his damage while W active or just straight up remove the self-slow.
Isn't the change to Sylas' passive a buff? His AoE lost 0.1 AD but gained 0.1 AP ratio. I guess they mathed it so it hurt jungle Sylas first clear?

I’m with m2 on this one, Blitz hook SHOULD be best hook

This is what I mean by rework needed, whenever I play him I totally underestimate the downsides of using W, the MS is important for him but the debuff is incredibly bad. I mean, Pyke W and E fill a similar niche, but have no downside and are also more flexible (can be used to engage, disengage, jump walls, roam without enemy seeing you, last longer, bigger MS buff, restore health yadayada).
It's not going to solve anything long term, once you get used to the increased range it's going to be whatever.
This is also true, the abilities downsides are still there, but Riot is trying to force viability by making his main ability ridiculously long ranged, which reduces counterplay for all those champions that have no built in dash. Would be even less inclined to play Ashe vs him.
|
Man I love the new blitz hook range. The only problem is that I have no choice but to ban the champ whenever I'm assigned bottom.
I don't get why anyone would want to play Ashe over other adcs in solo Q.
|
I agree that Blitz is basically still good and bad at exactly the same times and is basically always worse than Pyke or Thresh. I just like the design choice behind the buff of Blitzcrank hook should be the best hook in the game, because he’s basically a hook disguised as a champion.
|
Today I learned Alistar's W can appearently cancel Irelia's ultimate and it still go on full CD I guess the timing is miniscule....
... I was the Irelia. :'(
|
Sounds like when people first learn that Fiddle drain goess through Vlad pool or Kled beartrap pulls Fizz out of invun.

Yeah I guess.
Never seen it happen before in my own games, streams or pro games. I had no idea you could cancel it completely like that, just "Ionia still stands!" then wham headbutt and I stand there wondering what's going on since there's no blades or marks to do Irelia things with. :'(
|
If you're looking for an opposite, pleasant feeling, try playing Eve and missing your Q on a marked target. It feels great when you can tell your victims think they're safe because they don't know the charm can also be triggered with auto attacks or other spells.

Zed crack used to be dodge able with trickster and was changed without a patch note, needless to say the first time I died to that I was not happy
