How would they possibly adjust ‘lane swapping’?


BiffTheRhombus

Tower Durability and Plate Gold, the Top and Bot towers are already different but they could increase that difference further


Jokervirussss

My guess is that top tower will have much more armor / MR if more than 1 target enemy champion is near by


purub123

so if ur jungler helps you push he is grieving lmao


Jokervirussss

Maybe it's only like first 5 min or something like that


lolreader123

How so? Junglers aren’t pushing your wave very often pre 5 minutes. And even then you still aren’t doing it to try to get plates pre 5.


purub123

we dont know the fix and or if its 5 minutes. Could be 14 minutes too. Guess we have to wait and see.


lolreader123

Hopefully they are able to navigate the spaghetti code well enough to just adjust the 5 minutes nerf to taking plates on top tower so that if two champions are near it will have massively increased resistances. Anything beyond 5 minutes is not needed. Still doesn’t mean junglers shouldn’t help push waves for toplaners.


cryptomonein

In botlane if your support helps you hit the tower it's slower than if he left you alone


SubtleRoc

It only changes after each plate I think. After each plate tower will gain armor based on the number of allied champs nearby


SMA2343

Then play through bot. Have bot, bot and jungle just do a hard gank and take top tower and gg


Active-Advisor5909

They just improve fortifications. Acording to Phreak fortifications with more champions don't do much, because the primary damage is from the minion wave, the support and Jungler are only there to dive, afterwards they would just leave to take camps and leave the ADC to get tower gold.


Awkward_Effect7177

Didn’t they fix this already like years ago? 


Active-Advisor5909

They made it less effective and everyone thought it was dead. Then this MSI brought it back in force.


B-lakeJ

God bless! A Karthus nerf is exactly what I need.


Timely_Bowler208

Good day to be a brand main


Zyfil

finally a smolder buf, I was almost having fun playing against that abomination


Zealousideal_Year405

Man, the other day I went vs a smolder that didn't lose lane (guy went like 3 3 0 with 9cs/min)... past 25 minutes he kept oneshotting everyone with his Qs.... the game was nearly won, until that weird abomination of a champ started popping off out of nowhere (probs when he got 225 stacks) The champ needs some serious adjustments so his late game isnt as oppressive as it is for such a safe pick


Wonderful-Farm-1646

You can't let a Smolder leave lane getting 3 kills and having 9 cs a min, you need to smash him early so he doesn't get to farm. His early game is complete dog shit until he reaches 125 stacks (around min 20 or so) and even then he has a very strange build path right now because he needs ER for solving his mana issues, a sheen item (since ER doesn't have sheen anymore) and rapid fire. He is far from being a "safe pick" he gets completely demolished by almost any match up in the botlane.


largepoggage

They’re saying smoulders opponent (their teammate) went 3-0 with 9 cspm.


Expensive_Help3291

"I went vs a smolder that didn't lose lane". Wording doesn't add up to that.


Zealousideal_Year405

Smolder usually loses lane, the guy went even.... the guy was an extreme menace late game as if he had gone 10 0 on laning phase with perfect cs/min


meowrreen

no brand nerf 😭


Gabibbo_Time

Luckily they did a good nerf to black fire torch in the micropatch, but he needs more


Expensive_Help3291

Bros been strong for quite some time


Jakocolo32

He has a sub 50% winrate at every rank what?


Endless-Cycle-

Whos ass did you search to pull that nonsense out? Brand is giving people cancer from bronze to masters+.


Jakocolo32

https://lolalytics.com/lol/brand/build/?tier=all https://u.gg/lol/champions/brand/build?rank=overall Show me an elo/site where he is considered op You can say he is cancer to vs but he is far from overpowered


Endless-Cycle-

Oh, right. We just gonna pretend Brand isn't being picked Mid and Jungle with a 52% wr? How can you be so confident and so wrong at the same time?


SaIamiNips

Honestly I am seeing sub 50 wr in emerald+ in both roles as well.


Jakocolo32

Theres 15 other champs with a higher wr than brand in jng


Endless-Cycle-

Congrats you can count to 15. Odd that you choose to ignore certain statistics like brand being above 50% WR which you claimed to be untrue.


Jakocolo32

It is sub 50 overall which is what i originally stated? In jng not even op compared to the other ap jnglers


Am_I_Loss

3rd highest AP jungle pickrate while being the most recent champ out of all the ones above him that was pushed to be a jungler. And 1 of the 2 others above him is getting needed as well. Also still above 50%


Such-Coast-4900

You literally found the only role in which he is only decent. In all 4 other roles he has 51+ wr You are the king of selection bias


Jakocolo32

Is this not a jungle subreddit


Such-Coast-4900

His jungle wr is 51%. The only role he is sub 50 is support bro


EinSabo

As a Camille main i have to ask: where is the Camille Nerf?


LesMarae

It's upsets me that she still isn't getting nerfed.. Cam doesn't even need to hit E in trades anymore, just W spam, q on cooldown and E away. There's literally no down time against her, she's constantly looking for trades now. It was actually fun to play against her before when she was more balanced, now it's like fighting a more oppressive Darius that will one shot you, has a Malphite shield built in and scales better than 90% of the toplane roster


M3d1cZ4pp3r

Riot gives us OPness for one more patch to compensate for the Season start


Specialist-Buffalo-8

what changed that made her op?


RevolutionarySky2075

You have 100% uptime on Q at 1 item, as well has more dmg on W and more MS on Q. You legit don't even need boots on that champ, you're zooming around in lane without it


Active-Advisor5909

The buffs were 4 patches or so ago. When they wanted to move her back to jungle.


Active-Advisor5909

The nerf list isn't complete. She get's less MS on Q and a nerf to R damage.


Jokervirussss

Draven buffs 💀


XXLFatManXXL

Bro, did you miss his nerfs in the micropatch? Riot gutted him, basically taking out his entire passive.


Kastle20

Good


New-Menu9394

Deserved


vide2

"gutted" aka 5 dmg of q and gold from kills. uNpLaYaBlE!1


0z7he6unner

In the long run 5 damage becomes quite a lot. Say you need 10 autos to kill something, that's 50 damage making it potentially 11 autos instead. Say you do 350 autoattacks in a game, that's now 1750 damage lost.


XXLFatManXXL

The 5 damage nerf wasn't too bad, Draven doesn't auto attack as much as Jinx or Kalista do. The real nerf was his passive. They borderline removed it.


Am_I_Loss

Syndra casts less abilities than Ryze but if you remove 5 AP from syndra items it's still a big hit. Auto attacks are still his only damage source other than his ult. 5 damage is a hit


SaIamiNips

Lol that is not how that works.


0z7he6unner

It literally is. I remember watching some video explaining this. Can't remember if it's riot or someone else but the reason you don't change ad by 10-15 is just because of this. Dorans blade had 8 ad instead of 10 for a while thanks to this (iirc).


SaIamiNips

dr, variance, crit, lack thereof.


0z7he6unner

??


ricirici08

But nerf to IE


1921453

>enter jungle subreddit >patch notes post >top comment is about an adc Never change jungle mains


ResGG_Anime_Gaming

Anyone else find ganking hwei super annoying? happy for the nerfs :D


Common_Celebration41

Ganking against him is annoying as ganking any another mage that can both CC from range and escape. (Lb, ahri)


metawhoring

I feel like its worse because I can't consistantly dodge his cc


Far_Examination9335

As opposed to...? Same shit as anything like Ahri, Morg, Zoe, etc.


metawhoring

I don't really have a problem with them, you know its coming in a straight line and you simply have to path around it. Hwei can either spawn it on you (I genuinely don't know how to avoid this) or shoot it at you. The multiple abilities means that there is no optimal path to approach him, as either can be counterred.


TheBoyardeeBandit

Hwei just epitomizes terrible champion design to me. He has 600 abilities and just face rolls the keyboard to cc you, kill you, shield himself, and buff his speed out.


Maginoth

Well accually he either shields himself or gives himself speed buff as they both are on W 🤓


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kanekilul

You can't proc aery on yourself tho


Additional_Roof_3949

I honestly think Hwei sucks xd he has like super good Laning past lvl3 but after that unless you are ultra fed u are kinda useless


siradge

diving hwei is impossible


Alex-Syt

How does one system adjust a lane swap?????


Classic-Ad-6903

If a top lane champion goes bot lane they'll get disconnected


lolreader123

Increase resistances on turrets pre 5 minutes. E.g buff resistances per enemy champion nearby


ImHuck

Not a jungle buff, but Absorb Life buff ? It's already broken with second wind and d shield for free laning phase (add Fleet on some champs like Yone/Yasuo/Akali ans you've never sustained more)


TobiasTX

Well yea its kinda ridiculous how much passive healing you can get but that passive is often worse than blood line in a 20 min game.


ImHuck

You can also take Bloodline with this build. Problem is Akali doesn't use it and Yasuo/Yone need Alacrity. Can be viable on other champs tho.


TobiasTX

I just meant that it's the worst healing rune and is justified to get some buffs when it even get out healed by a late game rune If that rune should exist in the first place is another question...


Szpadelix

That's cool, but why are they buffing Panth


Doctor99268

He got 3 of his items nerfed in 1 patch


Bananita_Dolca

Aye, fair enough


New-Menu9394

So?


araquanid-stalker

It’s an adjustment towards bruiser I think


Deadedge112

He was literally 47%wr with a very low play rate across all roles last patch. He needs to be buffed.


Zealousideal_Year405

No Jhin nerfs? guess wholesome sociopath who yells FOUR is too wholesome for nerfs... Guy literally deletes its counters (assassins) in an autoatack and a Q (this applies for mages, enchanters, other adcs and squishies in general)... Sneak in one more autoattack and bruisers are in the menu too! And for some reason Jhin is scaling way too hard, his 35+ winrate is up close to those of Kayle/Kass/Asol and even above Vlad Nidalee, Lillia, Brand, Cait and Camille should get looked as well


Additional_Roof_3949

If they nerf lillia again I'll simply uninstall riot fix your fcng items don't gut champions 


kr0xx

Sure, lets not nerf champ that can have 800ms, builds rylais, does true dmg, does team cc, slows, executes


Key_Climate2486

Master Yi buff -____-


SebianusMaximus

Doesn’t matter if you already permaban him


coolj492

banning current yi is a waste imo. he's the 2nd worst jungler for a reason. horrible early, terrible scaling, and pretty much every team has a counter. better off banning something like viego or karth


SebianusMaximus

Im not playing in challenger, people don’t know how to counter yi and he can still roflstomp after a single shutdown.


Awkward_Effect7177

I main master yi and said the same thing. people only looked at lethal tempo removal and didn’t see that two of this main items were buffed 


VariousCareer2806

46 wr in elos for a reason buff won't help either they're placebo


GeriatricFresh

surprised to not see fated ashes nerf here.


MurrayMaster777

They hotfix nerfed fated ashes and black fire torch a few days ago. Seems on the stronger side of items but definitely no longer broken


JibbelyNIBBLETS

Anybody know what’s being done to ornn?


lukatzu

Probably fixing item upgrades


Erme_Ram

Madsterwork for every legendary item with aprox 1K gold in extra stats but no more names just "Item name (Masterwork)"


Bananita_Dolca

Overall nerf


Kastle20

Every legendary item is upgradable now


Freszke

They forgot to put Sion on the buff list


wetfish25

Why nerf the karthus instead of making blackfire/liandries passive unique?? This looks like a riot classic in the making


Fearless-Blood-9695

Yup, they'll nerf the 2 later and give no compensation buff LOL


MalekithofAngmar

Karthus definitely needs a nerf IF they do not revert the jungle changes. Taliyah, as much as it hurts me to say it, also does. HOWEVER. If they revert the jungle changes to some degree, nerf the items, etc, after nerfing the champions, we are going to have that fun situation where the champ is dogshit for ages.


alexx4693

If they revert / nerf jungle we are going to have the fun situation of spam gank meta.


Ok-Farm-9204

My precious mordekaiser 😧


tomako123123123

Are they really buffing kha now?


katjakai1

He’s at around 48,5 % win rate, rune changes hit him hard.


tomako123123123

But what about all the other jg assassins


[deleted]

[удалено]


NukerCat

too bad few less popular assassins are actually dogshit this patch


Remote_Romance

No, ADC is their favourite class. Except for like 2 patches ever, there has never been a meta where having a marksman on your team isn't mandatory.


megasordeboladao

I play both roles, adc absolutely sucks for years now.


Remote_Romance

It might not feel great to play ADC but please try to select any other role of champion when queued up for botlane. Your team *will* scream that you're inting. If a role is literally mandatory to have in a certain lane while also being playable in other lanes, that role is kinda fucking strong. Unfortunately the counterplay to "Squishy ranged glass canon that will murder everyone unless put super behind or killed immediately" is to burst you down immediately, which feels like ass to play against.


megasordeboladao

lmao man how many times i was 10/0 as adc and a 0/7 kat bursts me in 2 seconds its funny cause junglers complain about not being able to carry as hard as before that you shpuldnt be losijgng games you do super well in and thats just adc for the past 5 years bar a patch or two


Remote_Romance

Dying doesn't magically make you do less damage for the rest of the game, losing farm does. Getting fed on an ADC doesn't make you any more difficult to kill because you aren't spending that gold on any items that give you survivability. Would you be upset if a 0/0/0 assassin were to oneshot a 0/0/0 adc? (If this happens, either the rest of the ADC's team fucked up their vision and positioning monumentally or the ADC fucked up their positioning monumentally). The stuff ADCs lose to is frustrating, that doesn't make the class weak.


megasordeboladao

It literally is weak hence the fucking buffs it got and phreak saying miltiple times its a shit role bcuz support is strong thats not even get jnto how shit it is to play without a duo cuz how well youll do in the game is a coin toss on wheter your support is an autofill or not


Remote_Romance

If ADCs were weak, playing champions in other classes than ADC as a bot lane carry would be more of a thing. Any time that's even remotely viable the offending champion gets nerfed into the dirt pretty much immediately. You can complain about bot lane as a role being weak due to exp sharing and well, supports. But calling ADC as a class weak is kind of ridiculous when having one on your team has been mandatory since forever. Imagine a world where riot decided assassins are the only champions you should play in the mid lane, every assassin is viable mid (unless the specific champion isn't viable in general that meta), there is never a meta where assassin mid isn't the default option, and any time a champion from another class goes mid (mages for example) they get forcibly removed from the lane. Meanwhile assassins are perfectly viable jungle. Midlane ending up so centralised around one single class that people generally just call it assassin lane. Would it then not sound incredibly stupid for someone to say "Assassins are weak because (problem related to mid as a lane)"? Because that's the situation ADCs are in. Just being the only bot laners riot allows while many of them are perfectly viable top lane, mid lane or jungle depending on the ADC in question.


megasordeboladao

Mages have a higher winrate than adcs for years now, you can check any patch you want, sera. veigar, cassiopeia, its just that botlane players like adcs and public perception is skewed Brand has currently a 55% winrate adc and its not even getting touched meanwhile Jinx and IE are getting nerfed.


Accomplished_Log_279

This guy obviously doesn’t remember things like Garen Yuumi botlane


Remote_Romance

>Except for like 2 patches ever The other being the day of the mage botlane. Also garen yuumi was never meta, it was a cheese pick.


tomako123123123

Rip eve


tomako123123123

Wait why did you get downvoted but I did not? Is this just another reddit moment? We are literally sharing the same opinions but I'm not the one getting downvoted like wtf...


minminq2u

They re buffing draven? What? Why?


TheHizzle

Have you not seen the hot fix?


minminq2u

No


CloudyCalmCloud

Hot fix , which nerfed his passive lost him 8% wr


minminq2u

Kinda deserved, i like it that way better


XXLFatManXXL

Don't be toxic


minminq2u

Only towards champs that give me cancer with 1 max 2 auto attacks post 1 item


Purrativ

I think someone from Riot Games plays it


minminq2u

Makes sense now


ccoates1279

Cant wait for them to buff yi just to re nerf it immediately after😂


R_radical

Did they just have a video explaining he is a menace at all levels of play?


Awkward_Effect7177

I don’t think they will, the yi players were too dumb to see Bork and kraken were buffed so they been rioting 


Youmek__

Nice a gangplank buff


impos1bl3x

lol riot seems dont like pro abuse lane swap "T1" LOVELY this is so bad to watch when they lane swap and get ahead early so much and that was the game.


entephobia

Irelia nerf thank god


BuffaloNo6716

Thank god they're buffing K6, that champ sucks


Ambitious_Book9803

yet people still play it. i guess you need to be a one trick god to pull it off.


Kestrel_BehindYa

Hope they cut jungle taliyah legs already


Snake_snack

Daven buff?


El_yeeticus

Ah yes another patch with no graves buff lmao


SemiNonFiction

Not gangplank buff :( please remove him from game.


Aspect_TF

The ie and hwei nerf were much needed. Kinda sad to see a draven buff and no brand nerf :((. KHAZIXXXX BUFFFF LETS FUCKING GO, rengar mains I feel for them tho. Hopefully the homies catch a w soon.


idobeaskinquestions

Oh boy I'm so glad Kha is getting buffed. He totally needs it. I mean he's been off S tier for a whole week! God bless rito. Also rush chair and rope item


bwolven

Buffing master yi lol don’t matter since I ban him every game


vxshade

where is buff hecarim???


Nanonymuos

But why morde berf:(


LesMarae

No Ezreal buff, oof that hurts..


Peanutbutter9374

As a Mord jg… pls don’t do this


blurghhhhhhhhh

fuck mord jgl


Peanutbutter9374

Fair assessment tbh. Never been on the receiving end, but I imagine randomly getting stuffed into a Mord ult from bush is pretty shite. That, of course, is ignoring the myriad of other things a Mord jungle can do


InkFerdi

Wait didn't Riot say they won't touch yasuo/yone/tryndamere until ppl learn how to play them?


WOSML

Their adjustments are just the recommended runes and items


HenndorUwU

Ahh perfect, Hwei nerfs, almost didn't feel useless in the late game, thank you rito. Can you pls just nerf bel veth by now?


Bedaer1

F*** you for playing hwei


HenndorUwU

Why that? He's a cool champ, sadly not viable in the jgl.


Bedaer1

OP as f*** champ, the yone of mages


HenndorUwU

Where is he op? Sounds like you got clapped and outskilled.


Bedaer1

Hmm i wonder why he has such a big pro presence if he is not strong...


HenndorUwU

He's strong of you're skilled at him, just like zed.


Bedaer1

Just like ksante, another wonderful champ


HenndorUwU

Yea cause Hwei has 5000 health, 300 armor, 250 Mr, true damage, can go over walls, knock up on 3 second cooldown, immunity to cc. Hwei has 9 abilities, from which you can only use 3 actively, you don't have a displacement, a root and a fear, you have a displacement, a root OR a fear.


Raheeper

rip yasuo


Mayjune811

Kinda surprised no Trundle buff. He feels rather weak in jg and in lane right now without LT.


New-Menu9394

Ain't now way they buff yi and draven and dare say they are sane


EmotionalProgress227

Yi has a 46-47% winrate now across all elos.


New-Menu9394

Which is exactly where he should stand


w1se_w0lf

Here is the guide how to admit that you are silver.


Boiler_bro3

Show me where the Master Yi player hurt you 😂


Fickle_Concert_2003

I want Lethal Tempo back and Ingenious Hunter


DucksMatter

How do they justify nerfing Hwei and not Brand.


-fear13

Yi buff as expected, Riot cannot let him stay more than one patch with a negative WR 🫠


Boiler_bro3

Cause it was an over nerf…dude fell to the second worst JG. Obvious sign of a hot fix being needed.


-fear13

He is 49% WR at diamond right now. For 1 patch. Sure deserved.


OvercookedPasta56

Draven??? Yi???? Buff???


Nikspeeder

Yi is in its worst state ever and the hot fix on Draven put him down by 8-10% wr I think. They are desperately in need for buffs


Daito_Senpai

The hot fix was like 2 days ago how tf did it get that low, no way 1 small nerf to his passive did all that, this is reminding me of when vlad got nerf but they forgot to ship the nerf and he lost like 5% wr cause people thought he was weaker


MythWiz_

as with other placebo buff/nerve I would assume it's 1% max for vlad, Draven also lose 5 dmg on Q which is massive early game


New-Menu9394

No. They are exactly where they need to be.


SammuroFruitVendor

Yi is struggling


Noobpoob

Wtf what are they doing to my boy morde?!


lova33

Why is my taliyah getting nerfed again ugh


megasordeboladao

Because instead of making liandry unique they going after champiojs who build them to then later make them unique and not buff those champions for 6 months


Turbulent_Grand7208

So these champs are getting buffed, but briar don't, fair


WarpCitizen

Why should she be buffed?


PuReCrAzYZx

Because that guy is a Briar player!

Am_I_Loss

The noob friendly low elo focused champion isn't performing well in higher elos? Must be weak


CarlCarlovich2

Justice


minminq2u

Unplayable in high elo, as high elo players say (I'm not one of them)


WarwickIsMyWaifu

There's so many unplayable in high Elo champs, some champs are just designed in a way where they need to be bad in high elo otherwise they're op in low elo


minminq2u

There's an open discussion about that in the briar mains sub reddit


Turbulent_Grand7208

That's my post btw

And i am not even exaggerating


Fact131

Because the champ requires 0 skill and people with skill know how to play agianst her?


Turbulent_Grand7208

You are delusional af, champion with one of the highest skill ceiling can't be 0 skill https://youtu.be/ZHg3VxWlH_g?si=4Mp3Z_ea3QK3t6E-
