This Week in Balance (2/13/2017)

Rakan is sitting at a sad ~47% winrate average, while his lover Xayah is enjoying the optimal ~50% winrate. Buffs for Rakan, please!

Bramble Vest is taking the top lane by storm, but it's parent item ** Thornmail **doesn't really measure up to its child.

As always, Caitlyn is absolutely dominating the botlane with a ~52% winrate and a ~6% banrate. Her fellow ADCs Draven and Twitch are also crushing bot, both with a staggering ~53% winrate.

** Kayn** is now online and as usual, expect to see newbies trying to first-time him in ranked. Current statistics are unavailable, but the general consensus to him is "meh".

Zyra is seeing another nerf to her plants, this time to their overall range. Sad times for plant mom.

A small rework to our resident fabulous gem guy Taric's Q has improved his quality of life significantly. Will this improve his pick rate? Only time will tell.

And finally, the quest for Ancient Coin has been changed, now granting 8% movement speed when moving towards the holder. Janna mains, rejoice, for this does stack with your passive. No one will miss you, Elixir of Skill. Rest in pepperoni.

In short: Nerf Caitlyn, buff Rakan, change Thornmail, figure out what's going on with Kayn, and sprinkle some chia seeds on Zyra. Until next week.
