The Effects of the Sterak's Change on a Selection of Bruisers
The effects of the Sterak's change on a selection of Tri-Force bruisers. For Lolalytics see the note at the bottom of the post for why I am not taking into account the data point for the current day. I trust OP.GG less than Lolalytics because it only considers data from one region and does not specify the time range over which it gathers the data. OP.GG could only be giving the data from the first couple of hours of the patch for all we know.
Irelia: On Lolalytics she went from ~50.5% before the patch to ~49.5% after. On OP.GG she went from 51.5% before the patch to 49.6% after.
Camille: On Lolalytics she went from ~51.2% before the patch to still ~51.2% after. The only effect seen on Camille on Lolalytics is her pick rate dropping by 0.5 percentage points. On OP.GG she went from 52.4% to 50.8%.
Jax: On Lolalytics he went from ~49.3% to ~49.3%. On OP.GG he went from 51.0% to 49.9%
Yorick: On Lolalytics he went from ~50.5% to 52.4%. On OP.GG he went from 49.7% to 56.2%. (56.2% winrate for Yorick, really?)
Gangplank: On Lolalytics he went from ~49.5% to ~49.4%. On OP.GG he went from 50.8% to 51.7%
Well, those are the core Tri-Force bruisers of top lane, the top lane champions who'd go Tri-Force no matter what. What about some other champions, the sort of champions people said were only going Tri-Force Steraks because of how strong it is and would switch back to Black Cleaver after the Steraks change.
Darius: On Lolalytics he went from ~50% to 49.5%. If you look at the Lolalytics stats for the current patch only Darius still has a higher winrate with Tri-Force first item (54.1%) compared to Black Cleaver (49.8%). On OP.GG he went from 50.2% to 48.1%
Fiora: On Lolalytics she went from 48.6% to 48.9%. On OP.GG she went from 48.5% to 47.8%
Conclusion So going off the Lolalytics stats Irelia is hurt by the Steraks change and hurt more than any other builder of Tri-Force Steraks. Everone else has seen no real change to their strength except for Darius dropping 0.5 percentage points and Yorick who with a 2 percentage point increase gained far more from the compensation than he lost from Steraks. (Going off the OP.GG stats Yorick is broken as fuck and needs hotfix nerfed :P So lets not pay close attention to OP.GG and their single region unspecified timescale data set)
N.B. Lolalytics stats for the day are often inaccurate. An example can be seen with the winrate of the reworked Irelia. On the day of the 8.7 patch people cited her as having a 53% winrate based off of Lolalytics (it has to be off Lolalytics as it the only analytics site that gives champion stats on the day, OP.GG only updates its stats with stats for the current patch a few days after the patch). However if you look at the graphs a few days later they do not show Irelia with a 53% winrate on the 4th April (the day of the patch containing her rework) because if you're giving the winrate for the current day you obviously don't have the stats for the entire day, only a couple of hours and so don't have a fully accurate data set. You can see that in the lower of the two images I linked to in the album where the Diamond stats for the day I screenshoted the graphs are completly above what you whould expect. Indeed, the graph the next day has the Diamond April 9th data point nowhere near the outlier on the other graph.
Weapons are for the weak
