@Riot Can we expect to have some sort of compensation buffs for Rageblade users?

This Rageblade change overall seems to nerf most it's users (Kai'Sa being the least affected in my opinion).

Champions who I believe will need compensation buffs...

It's easier %magic pen for those champs to get and shred tanks even better than they already do. How is that a nerf?

I don't really see tanks that often anymore.

But I guess we will see how it performs, once it hits live.

Because they don't need it. They'd rather use the extra stats.

I hate how Riot neglects the entire playerbase of a champion because of pro play. Guess that means pro players are worth more than us in the end.

Anyways this is the result. Ryze, Varus, Azir, Kalista, Sejuani and any other champion that has been good in pro play for awhile is in the dumpster. Some might deserve it while Riot looks for ways to make them healthier like Kalista and some are just Riot taking the easier way out.

They will eventually address them after their winrate and pickrate become similar to Kalista's. Dont worry friend.

I mean Varus' winrate was 42.82% at one point (during patch V8.12)

Then they decided to buff him, only to do it wrongly in 8.13...

Instead of giving him something useful like more base Movement Speed, maybe higher base resistances, higher Attack Speed Growth, or even higher Attack Range, but instead they just gave him more damage. And before all that, in patch V8.8 they gave his W an Active and nerfed his Passive Attack Speed and W Passive On-Hit damage in exchange.
