in 1 patch my main went from having a 50% winrate in diamond to having a 41% winrate in diamond.

A few of my friends were wondering why i quit two days after 6.9 and this is what i have to tell them.

My main went from being somewhere around the 50th best champion to play for winrate in diamond to literally the LOWEST winrate champion in diamond this week, with also the 6th lowest playrate, AND there were no direct changes to the champions numbers/kit. Just itemization changes.

This is probably the biggest impact a few item changes have ever had on the balance of a champion. 9 fucking percent. Wow.

Less surprising however, is that while there are actually a slew of champions whose winrates plummeted after the removal of devourer, there are basically no changes on the way in 6.10 or 6.11 so far to fix that. So many champs got dumpstered, and the balance team is kind of just ignoring it. Who cares about fighters anyway?

I mean, I'm not annoyed or anything. I just think more context would help his case.

Just have patience. If Riot sees he's falling of across all elos, I'm sure him or his items will get buffed.

I'm fairly patient when it comes to these things but riot explicitly said in a thread that following the removal of devourer they would look into rebalancing the champs that used it. I feel betrayed man

Wit's is getting buffed.

Trinity is getting changed to better fit attack speed fighters.

I jsut hope one of them actually happens in 6.11

the trinity changes look good for xin but he has no innate magic damage in his kit besides his e so wits is probably a bad idea even with 300 less gold cost.

That was what was stopping me from building it when it had a cost of 2800 but 2500 is in the ballpark for consideration.

When maxed out 40 on hit magic damage 40% attack speed 65 MR and 25 reduced MR on the enemy is decent enough for me to consider worht getting some games,

IT should be a decent counter to the likes of a sunfire rush. Or an AP top.

Not saying it will be a must build every game but at least something to consider.

The replacement for devourer, bloodrazor, just picked up 10% AS and 1% more max health damage on-hit in 6.10. I'm not sure how you can say that's no change.

Is it enough change? Maybe. Maybe not. But it seems like a solid chunk in the right direction to me. Balance did say they're still keeping an eye on Yi & Xin after this.
