@Riot It's been a week, how are the Post-Rylai's nerf Champs doing?

Given how the data that comes in from most games are sufficient to make a conclusion or result about a week after a patch hits, I was curious as to how the champs that relied on Rylai's the most are doing now that it's nerfed, and if Riot wants to make any changes to them. While it did tone down most of the champs that abused it too much, there are a few champs who's core was centered entirely around Rylai's almost. Here are 3 that I can think of atm that I'm curious about:


#Mordekaiser

While Morde hasn't exactly been in a good spot since his rework, one of his only respites was with Rylai's, the item that his kit was almost entirely designed around was his go-to item to keep himself in the fight or during the chase. Now that the slows have been reduced to %20, I can imagine that Morde's having a LOT harder time sticking to his opponents than he used to.

#Vladimir

Now I personally haven't heard a lot about Vlad since the Rylai's nerf, but considering he's the only mage that instead uses his own health instead of mana, I can guess the nerf has hit him pretty good as well. Not only less AP and Health on the item means he's both a little squishier and less powerful, but the reduced slows means he can't stick to targets as well.

#Karthus

Yes, of course I'm mentioning Karthus lol. He's considered one of the biggest users of Rylais as far as I know. Granted, I don't actually use the item myself anymore, but I did used to use it almost religiously (I think there's a pun somewhere there) because of how easy he can proc the slow with his Q, and was still quite popular with other people who also had it as a core item.


I'm just curious as to what Riot thinks about those affected greatly about the nerf. Thoughts? I'd love to hear em! :D

Everyone is fine but Vladimir.

Riot thinks Vlad wasn't hit that hard by the Rylai's nerfs, even though its really because he can't get much worse than he already is.

Mord 48 Percent Has he Dropped?:Yes Is it because of Rylias A: Most Likely yes, because this is a core part to major mord builds

Vlad 45 Percent Has he dropped?:Yes and no Is it because of Rylias? A-No, he has been sitting at 45/47 percent for a while now

Karthus 51 percent Has he dropped?: Yes Is it because of Rylias A: Most likely, it was a core item, and is built second in all the major Karhtus builds

Viktor: 50 Percent Has he dropped: Yes Is it because of Rylias? A: yes, but he has not dropped to the point it's unbearable

Dude it's been like 4 days That's barely over half a week This thread should've been posted like 4 or 5 days later so that Riot has a decent amount of data to work with

personally played malzahar. I like the new rylais more. much cheaper. especially since hes dot for slows. much better tbh.

I will go ahead and guess thats its better on brand as well because its cheaper and the dot was only 20% anyway.

who got hurt by it most likely vladimir tbh. hes already bad anyway

At least fiddle won't be lonely in trash tier now. I was going to say him..... but that wasn't the reason for is old crap skill set. He is like the only champ that has to hug an enemy while being a "don't CC me" cast.

Everyone "fiddle drain doesn't soooo much now" me "yea, how long was that bug..... Oh since the tether nerf..... wow a long time. Cant wait till they find the "cast time" of fear bug. (its like the blitz hook and champs jumping away) But if the fear is instant how are they still complete casting a spell then feared? There is like a .25 sec delay from when you push fear and when the spell hits. (no its not a Lag thing. I tried with friend in the room. I can cast fear and there is still time to react with an ability after I have cast it.

Azir - 42.5% from 44.2% Riot is looking into buffing him further now without them having to worry about old Azir with Rylai.
