Patch 5.24

Anivia nerfs. Are you joking? Anivia is not especially powerful this preseason. She is one of the best balanced champions in the game, and her power has been pretty much the same as always. She doesn't have amazing synnergy with deathfire touch and her use of the other keystones are pretty average. The only real buff she got was how ROA got an AP shift. As it is right now, the bird tends to function by tagging the enemy with her ult before using the slow to get an empowered E off. With nerfs to both its range and its slow duration, her most reliable source of poke is getting a major hit.

Bard buffs Bard has good synnergy with Thunderlords, and I do not want to see him get pushed over the edge. Be careful, I don't wan't to see my favorite celestial ragdoll getting buffed too hard and then smashed to pieces with the nerf hammer.

Jinx buffs Ok, no. She does not need buffs. The hurricane crit thing was needed, being a bugfix and all, but Jinx is fine right now.

Karthus nerf Ummm.. why? Karthus is not particularly strong right now, this seems to be an unneeded nerf.

Nidalee buff I am having flashbacks to season 3. Granted, this is nowhere near as broken as that was, so I don't think anything will necessarily explode, but still.

Swain nerf wat

Honestly Swain is sleeper OP, the only reason he isn't freelo / ban is because not a lot of players know how to play him well and he's been out of meta for a while. The Root duration just makes it so, like the Volibear nerfs of S3, you actually have to choose what to level up versus just doing W last.

Nid has fallen completely from grace due to strong nerf's and the good Nid players finding other players - this helps to balance her a bit more.

Kass changes... I got nothing.

Jinx .... I got nothing.

Bard still hasn't found a good place yet, I think this is an effort to get more people to try him out.

I hate the chicken... of all the champs in the game, a fed Anivia is ridiculous... A Rumble Anivia comp on a team slows and murders you and the only recourse is a flash to save maybe 50% of your health. Great teams make Anivia work for them in kite situations, and if you focus her you get Hourglass, Egg, and hope to hell the rest of her team is dead so you can finish her off.
