so first thing is "fixing tanks". nautilus, like literally the only tank who cant 1v1 an adc got nerfed. why? amumu got buffed. thats nice but who cares? rammus got buffed. again nice but nobody plays him (or very rarely) also tahm got nerfed. why? his winrate is like 46% or so. "he is picked a lot in lcs to counter assassins" oh wow. so because the lcs picks a support to "counter" broken burst, you nerf tahm? rip tahm man.

next, domination runes are too strong. so lets nerf them. electrocute goes from 50-220 dmg to 30-180. okay so it does 20 less dmg at lv 1 (base dmg) then a bit of ad and ap ratio nerf... but then THE COOLDOWN WENT FROM 50 SEC TO 25!? so lets say you time it perfectly. now you do 30x2 dmg with electrocute in the time it took you before to do 50. and if im correct, 60 is more than 50. hows that a nerf again?

rest was legit nerfed. not sure about that 5 dmg less on aery but oh well.

bugfixes... oh boy... this really makes me feel like riot spit in my face. theres 1 bugfix. ONE! "Players are no longer blocked from creating custom games if they have dodged from champ select." i encountered more bugs in 1 hour of aram than you guys fixed in the fucking patch. seriously? i wont even mention mordekaiser anymore...

also small note: why is the snowball fight event still in nexus blitz? everyone complained how boring this is. cant you guys remove it pls? seriously man its the worst. its basically a ~ 30 seconds match of poro king. sounds exciting right? no it doesnt.

I 100% agree with you Arammus. The patch notes are misleading this patch and as someone who mains both Nautilus and Tahm Kench, I find it very frustrating that everyone is going around shouting both of these champions have been buffed when they have most certainly been nerfed.

In Nautilus's case, they tried to make his W shield more spammy while decreasing its strength. The problem here is that its mana cost was not lowered as well and Nautilus is a very mana hungry champion. Not only that but Naut has been struggling for so long that I'm not even sure why they felt the need to lower the shield strength at the same time.

For Tahm Kench, this are hard nerfs and I am just baffled that anyone can even call these changes buffs with any sense of confidence. These are the most frustrating changes to me because Tahm Kench has been struggling for two straight years now, never once going above a 48% win rate. If the changes truly were just so that they would see Tahm be picked less in pro play, then fine. But then why isn't he receiving any compensation for that? They are not rebalancing his kit at all, they are just throwing him in the dumpster.

This patch is probably the worst patch they have put out in a long while imo. It's to a point where I wish they just hadn't even touched tanks at all.

Yea, I actually like the Nautilus changes, aside from no changes to mana cost. He has a crap pool and his shield has a relatively high mana cost. More uptime on shield will help his jungle clear but my GOD does me run through mana.
