Patch 7.7 Balance

win rate data from op.gg This patch is actually absurd. Camille is getting nerfed while her overall win rate sits at 45% and only reaches 49% in masters. She's already completely unviable outside of the highest levels of play, she doesn't need a nerf at all, yet alone nearly cutting her ult duration in half. On the other hand, Amumu is getting buffs. He already has above a 50% win rate overall which only drops to 49% in masters, while I will give that he's not in the best state right now, there are MANY champions that could use a buff before him. Not to mention Ryze is still getting no attention, sitting at one of the lowest win rates of all time at an overall 37% which goes up to 45% at masters! Really Riot?!?!? I'm not trying to say that win rate means everything, but it does tell a lot about the overall strength of a champion and, in the case of Ryze, very clearly indicates something is wrong. Obviously Riot realizes this and they've tried to address it with the various reworks, but there is no reason to just gut him to being unplayable. I just don't understand some of the changes they make.

Cam does not need another nurf. I already crush her when she's top. Feels bad. Getting the Sol treatment. Another cool champ being nurfed to oblivion. I never see Sol played anymore and Cam is just a tasty treat when I see her top which is very rare now.

Camille is not necessarily nerfed for her solo queue performance, but her presence in pro play. In LCK, she is 100% P/B over the whole of Spring...

Honestly, you could even see this eventually happening when she was released. That ultimate and her engage range with E are simply too strong in pro play for anything else to happen.
