it reminds me of zoe's 0,25 cd nerf.
wow irelia lost 5 movementspeed holy shit. its not like she is a phage/trinity user and with her q jumps around 24/7. oh no i bet that totally fucked her over.
usul12021 votesTbh, I was pretty surprised they did it. 5 ms is a lot. Like, I can't think of many times they've made ms changes in recent history. That effects everything. Getting to lane after backs, roaming, chasing, even matching rotations. It's a whole bunch of "you get there 1 second slower and now your adc is dead since you were late" kinda things. It doesn't do much to her in combat (infinite dashes op op -_-) but it does seriously hurt her macro game and ability to snowball around the map.
So no, I don't think it's a spit in the face. It's not my preferred nerf (I'd like to see her in-combat mobility decreased) but I am interested to see how hard it hits her, especially at high elo where every second counts.

Jennifer4201 votesyoure shitting me right now?
chipndip11 votesShe lost 2% win rate off of that nerf alone and you're saying it's a "spit to your face"?
Are you shitting me right now?
Jennifer4201 votesas with every change to champs, thats the average alergic reation. 95% of reworked/new released champs have a winrate below 40% for their first 3-4 weeks. does that mean they are bad? no.
whenever a champ gets a small nerf OR BUFF its winrate tends to drop as more (or less) people play the champ.
chipndip11 votesThe champion isn't new.
A nerf wouldn't make MORE people play the champ. She still has relatively similar pick rates to before, but she still lost 2% win rate.
You can't just make up shit on the fly. You need to be grounded in some form of evidence or analysis when making a claim.
Jennifer4201 votesyasuo nerfs made more ppl play him as less ppl banned him.
need evidence? find the last patch where he got nerfed and compare his pickrate to the patch before
Strawberrycocoa1 votes5 move speed is more impactful than it sounds. It means if she has no jump targets she has a harder time escaping a gank, or catching up to a fleeing kill.
