So here is the full Patch 7.7 POTENTIAL changes http://i.imgur.com/XO8CjZ6.jpg

Think's i MUST point out

15sec CDR RIOT REALLY? Now you know Riot secretly wants everyone to play/ban Kat every game 1.http://i.imgur.com/GnP21s9.png

TALON NEEDS BUFFS NOT NERFS ( You buffed kat's ult at 15 sec CDR and you nerf Talon REALLY RIOT?) 2.http://i.imgur.com/raGjxN4.png

50% CDR refund if you kill someone WTF 3.http://i.imgur.com/jYOl5Wn.png

The only think left for me to say is

Riot are you on Drugs or something? http://i.imgur.com/6lsnYZy.jpg [zombie-brand-mindblown] [zombie-brand-mindblown]**[zombie-brand-mindblown]

Yea honestly... reading these patch notes was sort of disgusting.

I don't feel like Lux is weak right now at all. Even if she needs buffs, she needs a nerf to her ultimate first. It is not healthy gameplay that a Lux with farm who is even or only slightly ahead can 100-0 most squishies if she manages to land her Q. And her ult is always up for it. And now her ult will always be up for it even moreso. She could use buffs that make her stronger overall, while requiring her to use her passive-enhanced auto attack as part of her combo to get the 100-0. i.e. reduce the burst part of her ultimate, but either increase her auto attack range, increase her base attack speed, or give her some other sort of bonus to supplement throwing out that auto.

Katarina's change is actually pretty good outside of that 15sec ultimate cooldown at rank 3. Her ult's cooldown didn't scale linearly before, why should it scale linearly now? 135/75/35 would have been a lot more reasonable. Heck, 120/70/35 would work.

Otherwise: I like the J4 change. I don't think Alistar or Jinx needed buffs, but they don't hurt. I don't think Kassadin or Lissandra needed buffs, and those are going to wreck balance a bit too. I don't know if Talon needed nerfs, but he definitely doesn't need buffs so I disagree there. He's at a 52.25% win rate in plat+ ranked. AND FINALLY The Gnar buff and Volibear buff are both so pathetically small compared to what they need, when meanwhile Lux/Alistar/Jinx/Kass/Liss are all seeing much bigger buffs despite having been strong much more recently AND being in a much stronger spot right now. I can't understand why Gnar and Volibear are barely getting any love at all, while these other champions are seeing such big improvements.

The Kat ult buff is either a typo or intended as an April Fools prank.

I agree with the changes. GW Rito!

Oh mai gawd, LISS BUFFS!!!! This game actually stands a chance at competing with GW2 for my attention now.

Catastrop3/23/2017, 1:51:18 AM2 votes

Also, I think you're exaggerating the Kat buffs a bit. 15 seconds late game doesn't change anything, you'll rarely notice it unless it's lower ELO where games take longer to close out.

PBE aka WIP aka Unofficial, patch 7.7 is 2 weeks away...things can change or be reverted.

I like people flaming talon players asking for buffs, not nerfs, talon can't hard carry a game, unless you decided to bring zero CC, and his mobility, is useless, when you bring cc to the match. Literally, just take veigar mid, and spam laugh because he can't blink through your retard stun anymore, and punish you for being a moron.

I think you guys overreact on this...

alistar and bard buffs are very nice. both have a hard time vs current support meta (lulu, karma). idk about the jarvan change. maybe he can jungle better after this? jinx has a bad laning phase if the enemy bot lane arent 2 potatoes and she spikes at 3-4 items so this buff does not make her completly broken... kassadin is always good in specific matchups vs ap mid laner, so idk. i guess it will make his good matchups better and his bad matchups maybe not too bad. he is still bad vs ad assasins and ganks pre 6. for katarina +45 sec on R early is a pretty big nerf imo. and from what ive seen, late game kat either one shots the whole enemy team or gets cc'd and dies rigth at the beginning. the lissandra changes are weird. q buff is nice but she still gets outranged by ori and co. maybe you can build more glass cannon and less mana with the ult changes. the lux changes seem to be brutal for lower elo where she is actually played alot, but she is definitly not 'op' because of that. its a buff yes, but her laning is as weak as before. talon could all in you at level 2 and nearly 100-0 mages with full lethality. looks like they just want to change that. seems fine. volibear buff is actually kinda funny. they randomly nerfed volibear some patches ago for no real reason and now they buff him :D but i like it.

so pls... think a bit about what the changes actually do and how this will play out. then you can criticise it

Jinx Buffed 7.7 PBE [slayer-jinx-wink] But she will be nerfed before patch be live*[slayer-jinx-unamused]*

I'm surprised no one is talking about the insane buff in Bard's passive. I recommend reading a bit of it just to get an idea.

Mizaya3/23/2017, 2:34:04 PM1 votes

The way people made Kat buffs sound, I wouldn't have thought it was a nerf for the majority of the game.

Talon doesn't need a nerf to his damage, in fact his gameplay is super toxic with how he can hop the span of SR in a matter of seconds, they needed to fix his broken mobility (His W has a lot of counterplay and he gets screwed like any assasin in a CC chain). You can't roam on him and he's somewhat oppressive early, there's not much risk to Talon, but there is reward as it stands and making some numbers on damage fixes none of his problems.

Kat though. Kat. No. Don't kill off your game Riot, because letting Kat have a 15 second ult with resets and affected by cdr is TOO strong. It'd force a tank meta (as if the tank meta isn't ALREADY apparent) where every support builds item 3190 just so their 1-2 damage dealers can fucking survive, and even then it's not guaranteed because the item active doesn't have a 15 SECOND COOLDOWN. They're basically making old Katarina right now where you were rewarded for shunpo'ing in and breaking your R key no matter the circumstance. So please Riot. Stop that.

The article should know the Bard changes are buffs. His damage is always higher or equal to what he would have before and he gets more utility. To be honest, I think this change is a step in the right direction for Bard since now he has both more incentive to roam and his team mates feel less bad for him roaming since the chimes pay off a lot more now.

April fools?

I think overall Katarina got nerfed. Looking at her ult cd changes, her early game looks like it's gonna get so much more harder. As for the 15 sec cd, that looks like nothing changed at all, considering her cd resets anyway.

i am just wondering why Gnar is buffed so much? He will be perma banned now :/
