gyazo.comTeemo damage dealt from -15% to -10%
5 bucks on them keep buffing Teemo slowly each patch while keeping the vision system the way it is.

and then changing the vision system and not adjusting his numbers ;)

Next vision system is Schrodinger’s vision.

Most teams try take a ranged AD option and as soon as you get 2nd item Umbral (It's cheap) you can 1tap mushrooms as they land saving your team tons of damage / CC
Teemo is a stall champion, unless his team supports the pattern by wave clearing cannon, his shroom safety won't ever come into play.
3
Ah so that's how umbral is relevant. I built it once and thought it was supposed to still reveal the shrooms, haha. But ofc they're not a ward so it doesn't.
Makes sense, you can 1-tap the shroom before it blows up if you're ranged and can reach it quickly.

They buffed Shaco too

why the fuck is Kha'Zix getting buffed, I feel like I've never seen that guy lose
19
Kha'zix's win rate puts him in position 149 out of 153 champs. He's literally the 4th worst. What's bizarre is Rek'sai being position 150 and getting a nerf
10
I have an overwhelmingly positive win rate on reksai. I always thought she was such a huge sleeper op champ. Do people jus suck at her? She hard counters so many dive comps and can run a match if you get ahead.
5
Usually for three reasons: 1) people don't know the champ, 2) matches drag out beyond their strongest window power spike, and 3) comp differences.
Personally, #2 really stands out to me because I have seen way too many ARAM-buffed champs that get ahead, fail to close games, and then proceeded to get outscaled because the team can't sense the threat of scaling comps ahead of time.
Reksai has been really strong with her +10%/-15% buffs, but it still means that if you don't close games out vs a strong late game team fight comps, you will get destroyed accordingly because you are a single-target skirmisher.
Same principle with Khazix: you can stomp early-mid game if you know how the champion works, but when everyone is full build and has some sort of defensive item ready, it's a matter of one bad team fight that you lose out all the leads you get the entire game.

People also tend to draft selfishly. Why pick something that has CC but is kind of boring when I can just pick Yasuo and do half the damage of a tank anyways
3
He's a cleaner upper that can't really engage on his own.
People pick him into shitty comps. Or int with him.
Last night I had a kha that repeatedly 1v5 tower dived. I wanted to ff.
We won because our frontline was really strong and our Senna scaled but it was depressing watching the bug get himself splat over and over again.
2
If people try to counter his passive he feels like shit, maybe it's just me tho. I'm not saying it's a great reason to buff him but it follows the weaker in aram logic.
1
I mean I've definitely wondered if they even play the game in the past but this takes the cake, 64% winrate on Imperial Mandate Ashe and all she's getting is a small + damage taken nerf?
Almost 58% winrate Seraphine not getting nerfed but 44% winrate Rek'Sai is?
Like no offense but has april fool's come early or something?
17
Reksai honestly is quite good, I think people just fuck around and don't end before she falls off a cliff. Not nerfing Seraphine is definitely a head scratcher though
8
I've ran into one or two Rek'sai that didn't feel forced to tank and it's terrifying how much dmg she can put out.
3
Tank Reksai is such a lost cause and defeats the purpose of the champion. Take HoB, play aggressively and snowball early game. Your full rotation does like 50% of someone's HP very quickly and surely the rest of your team can finish off the rest. You can easily do the most damage on the team by a good amount if you successfully get lots of picks early
Edit: even more actually. Went into practice tool and got myself and a Ziggs bot to level 3. Without even using burrowed Q, I did 70~% of his HP with the full unburrowed combo. Imagine this in ARAM where Reksai does 10% more damage and you're doing this to someone who may take extra damage. Her E does 160 true damage just with one point in the skill, assuming you started a nice AD Guardian item. Her entire rotation has an AD scaling of 80 + 3x50 + 170 = 400%, 700% if you consider the autos into the mix, starting Horn would almost be griefing.
3
I play lethality Rek'sai often, it's great fun however... the reason for the low win rate is people like me who play Rek'sai full lethality for fun. I checked my win rate with it once, 33% isn't good. This is while i had a 75% winrate with Skarner and 66% with Trundle.
2
When I said tank I meant bruiser tank but yeah that is some terrifying dmg. I haven't played her since her rework eons ago so I appreciate the breakdown đź‘Ś
1
Literally no changes to Graves, that is insane to me. He's in the top 10 champs for ARAM and in high MMR is just impossible to play against.
5
He's getting a -2 base AD in the main patch. Won't do anything, dude keeps having his base AD upped then nerfed as he swings from being op to not, being pro choice or not. So weird.
1
why do they got to do my boy Ivern like that
4
He's #3 highest winrate right now. Damage nerf isn't gonna do anything, though. He needs a heal/shield nerf.
3
He's also getting his 10.25 buffs mostly reverted in a hotfix. He'll probably drop back to where he was
3
Ashe needs a damage dealt nerf as her current build is poke, she doesn't need to die quicker
4
Seraphine... too new to get nerfed. #todaysposterchild
4
20 bucks on someone commenting on the buffs to Khazix and Qiyana
I don't think they needed them really but I don't think it's particularly egregious either. Everything else seems agreeable
3
Is Veigar’s “buff” a nerf or am I misunderstanding it? It says he goes from 0% damage dealt to -5% damage dealt with damage taken unchanged.
2
He is going from -8% damage dealt good sir
3
Ohhh I thought it was a 0 not an 8. Thanks!
1
LETS GO! Qiyana buffs, fuck all the idiots who kept suggesting the lowest wr champ in ARAM is actually really OP. I even had an Anivia player crying in chat about Qiyana being broken, 42% wr doesn't lie... I already had a good time playing her before, and now it will be even better.
I also like seeing the Hecarim + Khazix buffs, but its too bad they didnt hit Seraphine again because clearly her current nerfs aren't enough. Like I always say, give her -25% dmg dealt and +25% dmg taken she will finally be balanced.
2
Never found her super OP but when I can first time her at >2500 mmr and carry while completely lacking hands...idk didn’t think her winrate was that bad. How do people lose on her that much?
2
Yay adc nerfs and tank buffs
2
this is some random ass shit imo
2
really kha'zis buff?
1
Hmm. Not seeing Leblanc nerfs. I would like to apologize to my carries.
1
why are they buffing kha he's so cancer
also why the fuck hasnt seraphine been nerfed
1
Trist nerf really?
0
The absolute state of Riot Games...
Also the Ashe nerf won't do anything to her. +5% damage taken doesn't matter when you're ten miles away from getting hit by anything.
I thought Sona was bad, then Seraphine came, with even stronger team buffs and more CCs.
At least Sona has a short range and eats through her mana quickly.
60% win rate to 59.9% win rate. Mission accomplished.
I played IM Ashe today, but couldn't even hit 2 W's before my teammates or the enemy started WWIII lol
​
it works best if they don't have initators and/or are too scared to engage.
​
I think we won anyways lol but i felt i could've helped more with a normal adc build. IM still funnier tho.
