Hey Scruffy can i ask, despite it being a little early, how well the Yuumi and Akali hotfixes have been, have their winrates climbed?
Any thoughts on sivir and/or kalista.
Sivir seems to need some love
Is there any reason Aphelios turrets have a 50% bonus AD ratio while simultaneously being as difficult to kill as three heimerdingers combined or five zyra plants combined?
Yeah, let's nerf Soraka and ignore the problem that exists for 4 years! Top lane Impact.
I won't do any suggestions to toplane since it's a dead lane for me and I don't have any idea how it could be more meaningful to toplane mains like me.
There are plenty of ideas you could ask since Soraka isn't really the problem here, toplane is.
I say it again. Toplane is the problem NOT Soraka.
Would the Talon Changes by any chance be allowing his passive to proc on large monsters, maybe at a lower percent of champ damage if it becomes to strong? It seems the obvious choice to give jungle power without actually affecting the lane.
Toplane is really shit right now. Can we like make it actually being able to impact the game?
High stopwatch usage is the natural result of high burst damage. It would need substantial nerfs to actually decrease its presence.
I see Aphelios is getting nerfs but is he also getting bugfixes? Theres 3 off the top of my head.
1. cant auto after depleteing a weapon with an abilitiy
2. Turrets despawning early when activated
3. Dieing during R cast time still activates ability but doesnt put it on cd
Why on Akali you decide to cut her ultimate cooldown in half and buff the ult damage by 50% in an hotfix when other champions get +5/10 dmg on one spell every other patch because you're afraid of going too far. And Akali got a gameplay change it's normal if people continue to play her like before they will be more vulnerable to ganks / get a lower winrate.
can we get some buffs to adc in genral the role is the worst role in the game to play right now no agency over the game untill 35 mins unless ur playing s10 champs its really insane how bad it is
Hi Scruffy! Some thoughts about Riven? long time i didn,t hear something about her from the balance team.And is something about the toplane improvement?
With regards to broadening jungle, is there any hope for more mages? I recall minor work being done on zyra / morg jungle, but they were never really touched afterwards and the only mage jungler that's been prevalent recently is Karthus.
We're working on some more toplane impact improvements. Nothing tangible enough to talk about today but it's definitely high on our priorities.
What about Jungle Tryndamere ?
HI Scruffy, last year you guys made a series of changes primarily targeting pro play balance for worlds, where you ignore the framework. After worlds was over you left those changes in giving us the ekko jungle + engage support meta for months, pretty much all of whom have now received nerfs. Any chance you guys would be willing to revert balance changes targeting pro play immediately after worlds was over?
I think is not a good idea buff sunfire when Ornn is super strong at the moment and tanks dominate bruisers in the lane phase at the moment,If you will buff sunfire buff at least black cleaver for melee champions or at least nerf Ornn.
They look about right:
Yuumi - we intended a 1-2% buff
-Patch released - she moved non
-After hotfix shes up about 1.5%
Akali - we intended a 3-4% nerf (46.5 in 10.2)
-Patch release she dropped 7-8% (depending on elo and lane) (38% ish)
-After hotfix shes up to about 42% (which is roughly on target
Any thoughts on Sylas? His waveclear is a little too weak to have such high Mana costs.
Hi Scruffy,
Thanks for keeping us informed
What is your feedback after Sylas changes ? Any plans for him in the next patchs ?
Yes, we're aware and fixing those bugs too.
