Any speculations about buffs? I think Gwen might have a chance to be buffed after worlds.
Since the absolute battering of this champion, I've been observing her winrate and presence development. It's not that winning with her is impossible, but having the odds stacked against you is a bit annoying. And I dislike weasling through laning phase like a scared b*tch, in the hope my team hasn't thrown completely when I'm finally strong. So yeah, anyway.
On the left, all that needs to be true to justify an immediate buff. I think buffing might still occur when champions don't meet all of these criteria completely. On the right, the current stats.
| Iron 4 - Gold 1 | <49% winrate | 43.87 - 46.28% winrate |
|---|---|---|
| Plat 4 - Diamond 3 | <49% winrate | 46.95 - 47.84% winrate |
| Diamond 2 - Challenger | <7.5% presence | 10.04% presence |
| Top 4 Pro Regions | <5% presence | 10% presence ( 3 picks + 0 bans/30 games) |
The next two patches won't really change much about the toplane meta either, so I doubt the numbers are gonna go up. In fact, even in a stagnant meta and throughout Divine Sunderer nerfs, her presence has continued to drop. Unless something crazy happens, she's about to check all the boxes. In the 3 pro games where she was picked she performed abysmal as well, so my fingers are crossed.
