So whose ready to perma ban Jinx, and shelve Vayne and Evelynn, and say goodbye to Relic?
Yeah. get ready. we're about to have a major adc meta change and it's not pretty.
Vayne is getting hit hard. Losing 30 AD on her ult, and 16.75% of her attack speed growth.
Evelynn is losing about 25% of her E's damage, meaning she'll move to a Tier 3 Jungle clear from Tier 2, and most of her combo's won't actually execute. She'll no longer be able to fight
, so they must be happy. (She already has to build
to be relevant because of gimped farming)
Yet....... Jinx..... Jinx is now going to have access to max attack speed at level 9-10. You won't need to set off her Passive anymore for her to Penta; She'll do it all herself, as long as nothing is done to bring down
Damage.
But...... I noticed Riot snuck in a ninja additional Nerf to Relic Shield: Proc healing is reduced by 50% if the item's owner is ranged. That means..... not only will adc's not use it, but neither should
.
And then they did something really brutal to
To address the fact that
Started building it due to her inability to farm well in fast paced games, they not only made it so that the cooldown applies to jungle monsters; They also increased the cooldown penalty by 4 seconds per minion/monster kill! That means, the item is going to be useless for supports who snag stray mobs, who already often experience 40-48 second cooldowns on Frostfang between charges due to killing 5-6 minions.
They might as well just spell out: All Supports should just get
because it's the best support item and has been for 2 years.
And then there's the fact Fighters are now going to go Aftershock and do more damage than Grasp, be MUCH tankier because they no longer need tank items, have higher AD. Fun Fun.
P.S. There's that boosted Glacial Augment that's going to put 60% of the Champion base's innate slows to shame and make them obsolete (Oh joy; Adc's with on hit 30% slow).
Oh. And then there's the fact that
Will now be pullable by Blitz, Not be able to muscle through Veigar's walls, or generally do anything to prevent displacement, which is going to make him a target that can't even react to oncoming attacks.
But..... At least Kha and Vayne are getting nerfed.
; Her farm capability is slow considering all the components. It's safer vs the mobs, but slow, and at more risk of ganks because her kit doesn't have early game escapes.
was not snuck in, they had spoken about it a lot actually. Also
both make
more viable in the botlane, so we may very well be seeing him some more. Also Item owner ranged means their natural state; for instance, the no ranged champion quest last year?
or
Just GET OUT OF HIS PATH. I have never lost to an Ornn... EVER.
, so doubtful. If you can poke down his shield he will have to use life to cast, which is never what a Morde wants to do.
then he is the strong one.
, He does this BEFORE having it).
