No akali changes

Aatrox nerfs are laughable and will still overshadow a lot of champions

Jax nerfs are also laughable as it's not his base damages are what's the issue, rather than Essence reaver making him an unstoppable bruiser

Kassadin changes make no sense because he was already weak against AD

Urgot nerfs are laughable and won't change a thing, he will still overshadow and be picked over many other champions

No Eve nerfs

No MR pen nerfs

Jungle changes incentivize more early ganking rather than farming unless it's diamond 1+

Red smites nerf was nice, but it's the wrong one, I don't care about the true damage, get rid of the fact that they can have an instant 20% damage reduction or make it scale or reduce it

Cool, nice terrible patch

btw, thanks for destroying all of the uniqueness with irelia and not just toning her numbers down a bit

Akali still needs time. We might see those changes in 9.3.

Aatrox nerfs might seem small, but they target everything he does.

Essence Reaver is getting reverted in 9.3.

Riot believes that it's better to make a champion have bigger weaknesses than to dumpster something they're supposed to be good at, such as Kassadin's effectiveness against mages.

Urgot changes are bigger than your copy-paste from your complaint about Aatrox implies. His W cooldown is so much longer in the early game, and that's his main tool for bullying people away with the % health damage. Less armor and higher mana costs give him much less sustain in lane as well.

Evelynn got indirectly nerfed by the nerfs to Morello, the reduction in Smite damage on champions, and the buff to MR shards.

Magic penetration in general didn't get a nerf, but Morello/Oblivion Orb did. It's now more costly to stack mpen.

Farming should never be more profitable than ganking. Ganking is taking a risk. You are potentially dying and feeding that laner gold and a jungle buff. If farming gets you more gold, people would just power-farm.

Smite nerfs are part of their systematic damage reduction that they're rolling out.

imagine thinking that some random BS slapped on her passive is what makes irelia unique

Akali and Irelia have more changes slotted in 9.3 (ICU mentioned 9.3 for Irelia, and I would figure 9.3 would reveal the work done to Akali)
