  • Damage tuned down slightly, defense up
  • Variety is reappearing in top lane again; more tanks surfacing Ornn Sejuani
  • AP power tuned down without gutting mages, don't want to cut my wrists playing against some of them now
  • Jungle influence still strong but less overbearing especially on gankers, farming junglers improved slightly as a result Shyvana

9.2 is a VERY good patch and I'm having a pretty good time so far. The only low point of this patch for me is Sylas.

Huh, farming junglers are the ones that were hit. Ganking junglers are untouched.

This is only true for champions with slow clears, which is basically just tanks unfortunately. Speedy clearing champions who usually go for the full clear without needing to back are stronger.

Why would you think that?

Because it's correct.

Karthus doesn’t like getting touched.

Instead, he touches them.

I like how everyone keeps ree'ing about ganking jungler when have this guy, who is a powerfarmer

Moody P4 votes

Abibyama II1 votes

Yeah that's what I mean, Everybody keeps saying 'Gankers only thing that is viable' meanwhile Karthus is the best jungler in the game and he doesn't spam gank

Voli jungle was in a bad place before patch and is now even worse since he is shit at clearing and the only thing he was good at was aggressive ganking. Also he is very good at lvl 2 ganking. Exactly what Riot nerfed (targeting Xin, Camille, Panth). Only difference: These 3 can just focusing on jungle a bit more now with nice clearing speed while Voli is still shit at it. I have the feeling that he got hit the hardest from the jungle nerf. And his buffs are a joke. Still lowest playrate and one of the lowest winrates in jungle. But that doesn't surprise me. These buffs were a joke from start on. Totally missing his real problems. ggwp

I am having a pretty shitty time so far.

I mean. Volibear doesn’t hate building Tiamat if he’s gonna be power farming.

  • We don't need damage tuned down slightly, we need it lowered a lot.
  • Some of that variety in top lane is only because their damage is increased.
  • Nerfing all AP champs because a handful were oppressive is the kind of solution an idiot comes up with.
  • Refer to previous answer for jungle changes.

No, we don't.

That's how things have been since season 4 when riot worked aggressively to kill "noodle fights." there has never been a top laner that was good without damage since.

Most AP champions needed the nerf. Not all junglers were nerfed by this as stats clearly show quite a few of them rising in power in response to direct and indirect changes

You cant just make sweeping changes. That disrupts everything even more.

I like this patch too. But don’t forget that some champs had their armour reduced too, so while it makes them less frustrating, they “take more damage”.

I know you don't, but don't come at me with an edge that sharp.
