Reactions

Riot is going off the rails with this newest installment, nerfing your favorites and buffing everyone else seems to be the name of the game. Every high selection pro pick got nerfed but nothing too drastic that’d make them completely unplayable. Lee Sin, Renekton, Camille, and Trundle are just a few that popped out but basically if they’re frequently picked they took a hit.

Now where it gets interesting is the buffs. There are some pretty outrageous buffs coming that’s sure to get some of your favorite champions a little more playtime in the future. Giving Draven an instant execute with his ultimate is bananas, putting that kind of power in the hands of a pro is going to inspire a lot of people to pick up the champions just for style points. On top of that, we see champions like Kog’Maw and Twitch get some pretty healthy damage buffs. Miss Fortune adding four more waves to her ultimate is a big deal too, there’s going to be a ton of action happening once World’s begins.

Another interesting change is them trying to pivot Talon into the jungle. In the past we’ve seen what a big monster damage boost can do, champions like Darius, Morganna, and Rumble all became top-tier junglers in Season 11. If Talon continues the trend that’s a serious threat but with all the potential bans it might be a sacrifice teams will have to live with.
