Just wait till S9 preseason

Oh hot damn.

Yeah it was sarcasm but I guess there are too many people who would say that for real. It's hard to tell anymore if people are seriously that ridiculous.

The QoL for AP champions has been slowly decreasing as the seasons go on. They've removed spell blade, decreased AP across the board by ~20% (this was season 8 I believe), removed a lot of mana regen, and have yet to introduce more pen items (and defensive items with mana). This has caused a resurge of AD champions, including non mana using ones such as Zed and Yasuo. It used to be that AP was cheaper than AD by a good margin because it was mainly used through spells. I probably missed out on a ton of other changes but I honestly don't think AP items have been fixed.

That was in the latter half of season 7 ya silly person. They've just neglected to fix the issue well into season 8.

I mean, they did make it worse by essentially giving ADCs a better Warlord's Bloodlust AND nerfing assassins into the ground.....also enchanters being buffed through runes, as well as tank supports.

I like the runes (except how ADC runes are 2x stronger than all other runes) but everything else on that list seems right. You forgot how made competitive boring as fk. Oh also doesn't seem too broken.

Yeah was indeed an issue, but I blame it more on baron. I dislike the runes since the old runes and masteries were actually nice and refined, there was no reason to change them outside of changing them for the hell of it.

is broken. Ask anyone and you'll find out that she's broken.

Zoe was released on 2017

During preseason which counts as season 8 :)

No need. It's all in the name. ;p

Alright i actually went to check and realized news on the Akali rework actually came out like 3 weeks ago.

I completely missed it, my bad x)

And Riot did at some point legitimately state that in the light of the fact that so many people just hate ever seeing Yasuo they were going to look into reworking or at least changing him into something less frustrating to deal with and boards went over the moon with hype for it.

Never happened.

Well, he has been seeing rising popularity since conqueror came out and so i figure those who forgot about it due to the ardent meta and all that will probably remember pretty soon.

If not then, then under the next patch when IE goes true damage......once the botlane balance hype dies down a bit.

At some point viktor was a must pick in LCS and nearing 100% p/b rate.

Now? Sitting at 46,4% winrate and 2,8 pickrate in Korea plati+

He is not great, not anywhere near great .....this clearly since despite his mains dedicating efforts he still sits so far down.

Just compare to Lissandra, a champ with 1,8% pickrate, she similarly most likely only have mains playing her and yet her winrate sits at 52%+ winrate.

Even Malzahar, another mage that supposedly does well generally sits at 3% pickrate with fewer mains and still somehow has 51,2% winrate.

Viktor is clearly not good generally, rather he seems to either be pure shit or he has been eating so many nerfs that only really high level players and mains can pull him off......neither is good.
