7.24b "The tank meta restored"
Look at these patch notes -- http://www.surrenderat20.net/p/current-pbe-balance-changes.html
So the biggest changes -- Damage nerfed for everyone (-3 ad or -5 ap). Poke champs nerfed more (scorch -10 damage and manaflow band cd up).
There's some changes to items to hurt assassins more because ad carries abused lethality again. Also changes to give tanks more damage and adc less power to kill them with last whisper.
Some balance changes to particular champs--
Olaf AD growth increased from 3.5 to 4 Vicious Strikes (W) attack speed increased from 40/50/60/70/80% to 50/60/70/80/90% Reckless Swing (E) cooldown lowered from 12/11/10/9/8 to 8 at all ranks
Does anybody know why a 53% win rate top is getting a pretty big buff???
Miss Fortune Make it Rain (E) cooldown increased from 14/13/12/11/10 to 22/19/16/13/10
Something we've all been waiting for.
Teemo HP growth lowered from 94 to 90 Base AD lowered from 58 to 54
He already is being nerfed by the scorch, universal damage, and manaflow band change. I think this is overkill.
Yasuo MR growth increased from 0.5 to 1.25 Steel Tempest (Q) damage increased from 20/40/60/80/100 to 20/45/70/95/120 Last Breath (R) range increased from 1200 to 1400
The mr growth is very large but otherwise seems like a reasonable buff.
Katarina Shunpo (E) damage lowered from 30/45/60/75/90 to 15/30/45/60/75
Seems hefty.
Jayce Thundering Blow (E) cooldown increased from 15/14/13/12/11/10 to 20/18/16/14/12/10
Jayce has to wait 5 more seconds in between one shotting people.
Heimerdinger H-28G Evolution Turret (Q) H-28Q Apex Turret (Upgrade!!! empowered turret) beam damage lowered from 200/270/340 to 100/140/180
Make Heimerdinger garbage again I guess.
Graves End of the Line (Q) Cooldown lowered from 14/13/12/11/10 to 13/12/11/10/9 Cost lowered from 60/70/80/90/100 to 60/65/70/75/80
Smoke Screen (W) slow increased from 15/20/25/30/35% to 50% at all ranks slow duration lowered from 1.5 seconds to .5 seconds
One of Riot's favorite's getting a buff that allows faster clear speed and graves early ganks to actually hurt. The w change actually makes sense imo.
Brand Blaze (Passive) damage increased from [2% of max health] to [4% of max health]
Brand will be one of the best champions next patch because he is one of few mages who can kill tanks and his ability to do that is amplified here.
Aatrox Base AD increased from 68 to 70 Dark Flight (Q) damage increased from 10/35/60/95/120 to 20/50/80/110/140 Blades of Torment (E) damage increased from 75/115/155/195/235 to 80/120/160/200/240
They're trying to make this champion playable.
There is no Ornn nerf, no Maokai nerf, no Ezreal nerf.
The biggest effects of this patch will be tanks getting to the late game very easily, bruisers actually do get a buff because early poke is heavily nerfed, and assassins get solo'd by supports more often.
