Soooo, no preview of items ?
It's basically every item in the game receiving stat changes and the numbers aren't fully locked yet, so we're saving that novel for patch notes.
This thread was added on September 10, 2024, with posts from Auberaun, GreaterBelugaWhale.
Are there any items with really big changes, or are they all smaller changes?
Depends on what you define as big, it's mostly item cost and stat changes, with some build path changes and a few removed or simplified passives.
This will not make me move on a bad wave, Riot cannot force me to ruin my lane for a single camp. >:(
Wouldn't want you to either. It's on the subtler side, and should mostly help awareness that something is going on that you could consider rotating to if it makes sense. It'll at least let you know why your jungler might be behind when they're getting bullied off of their camps by Nidalee.
Could you perhaps share with us if you reduced Lichbane's passive dmg? Because before you allowed it to be this high cause it was "grandfathered in" even though it was higher than the max dmg you allowed on those kind of items (I think Stormsurge's passive was named as the highest possible number)
tiny bit
If they manage to make LT, which is now an:
On-Hit, AS Scaling, Auto Attack enhancing RUNE
Bad on the: On-Hit based, AS Steroid, Auto Attack Champion that Irelia is
I'll be genuinely impressed
is that a challenge
Are you worried about lethal tempo doubly scaling with attack speed? Attack speed not only increases the on-hit damage, but also means that those attacks come out more often.
I'm not complaining cause Jax will be happy about it, too, but I wonder if the double scaling is intentional? Of course the amount by which LT's on-hit damage scales with each % AS could always be nerfed, so it would just be a matter of finding the right numbers
no, it'll be tuned to whatever state it needs to be for AS to be good purchases on LT champs. the current tuning may not be it.
