So, Patch 6.24 is about one week away and we got no news on Rylais

Malicious Metal··51 votes·3,068 views

I really hate pestering Riot but with the initial chaos of preseason having faded can we prepare on one of the most impactful changes yet to come?

Rylais was too strong this season, yes, and a lot of champions' balance rely on it so can we get some input.

Once again, sorry about this but I really want to know :/

Glorious Master of Metal, I regret to inform you that 6.23 is a week away, while 6.24 is 3 weeks away.

That was a hint. He was using his special metal powers to come to us from the future. No changes to Rylais in 6.23 confirmed.

Now he has to catch a lightning to go back to the future.

6.24 PBE update

Critmaster Garen5 votes

3 or 4 champs actually rely on it. the rest is just abusing it so they dont have to hit their inbuilt skillshots to land their abilities, or makes it too easy for them.

^ pretty much.

All Riot has to do to balance it is to remove DOT from procting it. This will lower the toxicity of Malz, Brand, Cassiopia, and Teemo (as the lead examples) instantly.

Goozzy1 votes

lol teemo doesn't use it. i haven't seen teemo in a long time buy this item. now it is used on the other champs you talk about. brand yes its a bit op on him but malz kinda needs it, without it he isn't that good. his ult gets counter so easy with qss

no changes :^) gg

I'd be somewhat okay with that actually.

But hey, with the assassins Rylais having HP is somewhat necessary for them to survive a bit longer :^)

we decided to nerf mord instead :^) 310 movespeed

Second worst base move speed in game.

I don't know about other assassins, but if I know I am in too much danger of being popped on AP assassin ekko/fizz my first 2 item rush is item 3027 +item 3152

HazyCloud71 votes

Aside from Khazix & Rengar who are totally bonkers right now, I think the rest of the assassins in the update are actually worse equipped to kill champions now.

I hope it's not a viable option for the AP assassins after the changes though, LeBlanc/Katarina/Akali certainly have lots of mobility and don't need any more help sticking to their targets.

Rylai's isn't the problem, it's the solution.

The problem is ranged champions are too fast.

put rylais on a melee champion, and put it on a ranged champion. you realize that the ranged champion profits 10 times more from the item to kite the melee champion before he ever gets into range, than it helps the melee champion to stick.

yea. its a problem.

JedenVojak1 votes

Not really, because Rylai's only works with spellcasts can melee's have ranged spells as well as the ranged people.

Rather the problem is, Rylai's should not be neccissary at all, because ranged should have much less base move speed than they do.

Shuyin1782 votes

I don't know what's worse, the poster that can't do math or the people that didn't notice.

We're on 6.22, which came out 5 days ago. We still have at least 9 more days until 6.23 THEN we have around 14 days after that until 6.24, the patch you're freaking out about.

Unless my math is wrong, that's a lot longer than a week.......

Hinagiku331 votes

I don't know about you, but the extra Health without crippling their damage has felt almost mandatory on Leblanc and Akali now. If Rylai's gets changes, there better be a new AP Assassin item to go with it.

Enlegacy1 votes

Hopefully a small Luden's buff. I don't see that built on anyone really outside of kat.

Calabok1 votes

I can't wait for it to be buffed.

Banana Nations1 votes

If rylais gets nerfed taliyah will be even worse than she is now

HazyCloud71 votes

I want to know as well, considering how big of an impact changes will potentially have on the champions it is core on. I was under the impression that the Rylai's changes were next up on the priority list after the assassin update/plants/pre-season item and mastery changes.

runedara1 votes

I worried about it for Zyra. It's really tied with her kit so I don't think she would stop using it.

Dengeden1 votes

Isn't a 3 week cycle during preseason?

Shuyin1781 votes

Only the pre-season patch was 3 weeks due to making sure they coded plants and leathality properly as well as bugs for the reworks and items.

AirKingNeo1 votes

My biggest problem is I want Rylai nerfed so Ekko doesn't build it and that means they'll have to buff him.

JerulEon3 votes

You don't build Rylais on Ekko. He doesn't need it.

AirKingNeo1 votes

I mean it only gives his passive a slow.

Wînter Fox1 votes

What's wrong with Rylai's? Leave it alone

Genorok1 votes

It's the perma slow it gives AP champions that have less than 1.5 sec cooldown spells or DoT champions. It's become core on DoT champions especially because once they build it, melee champions nearly never escape. Most dashes aren't long enough range to get away with the 5 second slow it's giving many champs.

They either need to make the item more for Tanks/Jugs or put a cooldown on the item similar to Sheen where it cannot be proc'ed more than once in a 3-5 second period (I have no clue what the cooldown should be, that's Riot's decision if they take this path)

I'm hearing that they are more likely just changing the stats that the item gives to make it far less attractive to mages as a core item.

Rinker Dinker1 votes

Rylais needs to be a tank/jug item. Similar to frozen mallet.
