Stats on 6.24 Changes

Hey,

found a new stat website for the performance of League's champions. More detailed than champion.gg, since it gives data based on the current data and has almost no update delay - and yet, it still accounts for new patches as soon as they come out!

Let's have a look at the performance changes for 6.24's buffs and nerfs, shall we? Patch was released on 12/07, so everything before that is 6.23.

: Pick rate up about 1%, but winrate about 1-2%, as well. So, the changes did not yet seem to do much, although the drop in winrate could very well be associated with more people playing him.

: Definitely an upward trend in his performance, with winrate and pickrate rising. However, winrate is too spiky currently. Overall, seems like the buffs had indeed a postive effect.

: Buffs made him better, plain and simple. Although I don't think the surge in popularity will be a lasting one.

: Nerf had a minor effect on release day (1% down in WR for that day only). However, since then, it does seem like the changes did not majorly impact him - which is understandable, given that he builds mana regen a lot and benefits from the longer buff duration on blue (which he always has). Btw, due to the soft caps in play, the difference between a 70% slow and a 60% on a 350 MS target is only 17.5, or 5% of the unslowed value!

: Effective buff, plain and simple. Her pickrate and winrate are both on the rise - and the same goes for her ban rate.

: The buff had a beneficial effect here, as well. At least as far as ADC Kog is concerned. AP Kog took a harsh nerf (and I cannot say with a straight face that I am too sad about that...).

: Pickrate down, winrate down, but both only marginally. Expect 7.1 to hit her harder.

: Buff helped some (WR +1%, about). Still horrendous and near the bottom of the barrel, but I am certainly not the only one who cannot make himself feel sad about seeing Nidalee on the ocean floor with cement boots...

: Nerf made his WR go down about 1%. Pickrate took a temporary dump, but rose back to 6.23 levels (possibly influence by Rengar in All-Stars).

: Had a hilariously high winrate of 56% before 6.24 hit. With the nerfs, it is down to about 52%. Still high, but no longer disgustingly so. Suspect it will stay there unless Riot either buffs the non-Caitlyn lanebully ADCs (Draven, Lucian, Corki) or nerfs Twitch further.

: Mid Varus' performance is unaffected by the changes, while ADC Varus got a nice boost out of it, with a 2% rise in winrate and about 1% in pickrate. For him to have higher pickrate, he'll probably need to be played on a pro level.

: Interesting how so small a change can have a big impact. Her winrate tanked 2%, while her pickrate fell 4%. Good. Interestingly, her two best match-ups are currently Draven and Lucian...

That's about it for the directly champion-related changes this patch. I argue any fan of statistics to try out the site, it is really nice and informative.
