End me. Pls.
Have you considered spawning a minion ever frame on nunu and checking visibility, then stapling a vision bubble into nunu if it's visible. Of course we need to kill the minion as well after this. I'm sure engineering will love us for this.
Sorry to be in the train of bothersome individuals, but any idea if and when the ekko nerfs will occur? As a main his current high pick and ban rate is frustrating to work around, but i know he feels a little overpowered currently; is reverting the pre-worlds cd reductions on the table?
hes within reasonable bounds atm, so unlikely. we try not to nerf champs just because they are popular if we think they are popular because they are fun (vs popular because they are just OP).
Any way you can share how some of the ad assassins were doing that lead up to the dirk buff Cap?
laning ad assassins are down across the board -.5 to -1%.
Why is aphelios getting hotfix nerfed already? From winrates he doesnt look overpowered yet
hes at the max predicted reasonable winrate on this day based on our release estimates, and his ban rate is extremely high. We expect him to continue to climb in winrate and banrate, so he'd be literally unplayable (banned) soon unless we act.
I know I'm spinning into another topic but does Riot have any good metrics on Jayce?
Lolaytics shows he is sat on a 46% winrate with a whopping 50% winrate as a otp.
I honestly thought preseason would buff him but it seems to have done the opposite?
Is any work planned for him?
Also if you want a laugh look at the Jayce mains sub reddit!
yeah we are looking at buffing him
Hi thanks for being so interactive with community. I was wondering what thoughts are on irelia right now. Most of ireliamains seems to think she’s still much stronger in the mid lane than top lane. Is moving her to top primarily still a goal?
believe we still generally want her to be a top laner (even though she has pretty much always been better mid). don't think we'll push hard on it since any work on her is heavily restricted by her traditionally high presence in pro and high elo
Just wanted to say hi and hope your day went well.
hi thanks. it's been busy because upcoming holidays. speaking of which, happy holidays if you celebrate them!
Seeing Wukong is in an eternal work in progress (on the rework), cant the balance team do something about it ??
we can nerf him pretty hard, thats about it. since hes got wip work, we don't want to do major mechanics changes on top of that, and hes 54-55% winrate in midlane (with an equivalent playrate there to top lane) which prevents us from buffing him anywhere else
U.gg has him at 50. He had a normal win-rate before the conqueror change. Why does he and only him of the juggernauts deserve to eat a conqueror nerf, while Mordekaiser has a 55+% win rate, for example? Makes no sense to me.
morde is 53% winrate (scaling down to 50% winrate at high elo)
avg winrate across all champs is actually 50.0% exactly
Wait...how could it be anything else?
this is conqueror's winrate... not all winrates in league
Any plans to do something about poor Urgot, the one ranged character who relied on it before the pre-season changes?
not at the moment but we've been talking about it. right now hes actually in a pretty good spot: 52% wr for AVG elos (90% of our players)
Hey bro, do you know anything about the Azir/Corki stuff? IIRC the balance team is waiting to see how conqueror would affect their winrates before changing anything, so I was curious if a verdict has been reached for either of them.
we are considering buffs for both of them
Thanks Captain, can you also uwu
nowu
How does shaco get a nerf over olaf karthus lee sin? I really just dont get it
Guess which ones are shaco and which ones are Olaf Karthus and Lee
Could you elaborate on why you guys are backpedaling on the Elder buff duration? It made more sense to me being the same duration as Baron buff.
We wanted to simplify it if we could, which is why we equalized durations.
But:
shaco nerfs seen kinds kinda random. if its aimed at support shaco then I supposed riot is reneging on their "champs should be able to flex in multiple roles" ideology
it's aimed at AD/AP jungle and AP support. they are all like, 53-54% winrate for various player groups
Clarifying ocean nerf. The regen period was also extended from X over 3s >>> X over 4s
Ocean soul's impact on a team's winrate in an even game was actually around twice as much as baron or cloud soul, so we are nerfing it harder than the other souls
Shaco main here. Thank you for lowering his banrate, you have my gratitude; Shaco WR went up by 1% with the preseason patch (ugg source).
I'll be glad to be able to play him at last. (Although AP Shaco is much better than AD Shaco, AD is taking a bigger hit, that's my only issue unless the numbers actually show otherwise).
Agree AP is better right now, but Lethality is getting a small buff which should help AD build (and if we only nerfed by 5% AD ratio, that would be quite a meme nerf).
Hey Captain, can you share the team's thinking on Conqueror post nerfs
MAYBE
edit: looks good to me. it's no longer stand out best keystone on Azir/Ryze/Cass/Aurelion Sol, and it's winrate isn't particularly high on core users (avg winrate across all champs is actually 50.0% exactly over all games so far on 9.24 (literally millions of games))
Can we get a direct or indirect Morde nerf already?
Our Morde mains discord is living in constant paranoia.
maybe
