After having read the 8.14 damage increase on certain champions, I scrolled down on the client, only to find the update on the 8.13 mid patch that I completed had missed (since they missed including it). The following champions were buffed in damage: Caitlyn, Nocturne, and Varus. Tristana had her E cost lowered and an increase in Q attack speed. Thanks Riot, just what we NEEDED. More DAMAGE input across the charts.
My Little Lux9 votesnoc was nerfed tho
Z3Sleeper7 votesYes because they were heavily underperforming.
Trist and Cait were nonexistant.
Varus buffs were mainly for his AD builds which they have been trying to make viable (though all of that does buff AP slightly).
Nocturne was a nerf btw.
Drop the idea that Marksmen should never receive buffs. If they are heavily underperforming, they should be buffed. This meta is already a massive nerf to them, many ADC players are being benched just cuz their role doesn't really exist or are being forced to play non-ADCs.
The 2 buffs to underperforming Marksmen are reasonable.
I hated Marksmen prior to this meta too, they were obnoxious, but now they are booty cheeks. Let them have this.
Dracocrash1 votesthey weren't that bad. They were shoved out of lane by broken lane bullies like MF and vlad runing rampant in the bot lane.
Moreover individually buffing each champ was nonsensical, considering it was not their inherent kit that was weak, but the items that they built. They should have directly tried to mend the items.
MOLTinaTOR1 votesEven if they worked on the items, those marksmen will still get outclassed by 
in lane.
saltran3 votesTrist and Cait were on the 45% winrate state, they were worse than non existent.
Z3Sleeper1 votesIf the goal of all these item changes is for these item changes to stick, then we can assume those items won't be changing drastically nor does riot want them to change.
With that said, it stands to reason that if their items won't get major changes, then the changes should be directed at underperforming individuals to match the items.
Wizard Blaze4 votesRito needs more money from the LC$. more damage means shorter time for LC$ games means less time renting stadium means more money.
atm the balance team doesnt give a shit or two of how the game is at its horrible stat. im tired of complaining so im living its flaw. But one thing i did is that i stopped buying anything from them.

I don't get why they need more money, considering how successful they have been as a company for all these years.
Wizard Blaze3 votesGreed. Some people who become rich dont have enough. Their souls wants more and more and more. They are ready to watch the world around them burn if it says so.
So like i said Riot dont give a shit about us. As long there are people paying them for what they do they will keep doing it
saltran3 votesAdcs that needed buffs getting buffs omg Rito why you do this.
MOLTinaTOR2 votesSo you're just gonna ignore the Noc nerf? Also, Marksmen were getting bullied by in lane because they have more damage early on, so riot gave them damage to keep up with those mages. That's exactly what Doublelift said, "Buff what's weak".
Sire Hippington1 votesthey mostly got bullied because their base health got nerfed and the hp/5 cut in half, so they get harrased out of lane pretty easily...
lolipopevelynn1 votesThe problem is they are planning to also revert some of the crit changes on top of these buffs.

It's not a revert. It's not a revert. It's not a revert. It's not a revert. #It's not a revert.
It is a reduction in price for a reduction in item stats and a slightly changed build path that surely needed it. They aren't putting IE back where it was(they in fact took 10 AD off and 5% TD) and they arent putting zeal back to where it was(they, again, are taking 5% crit off them). Any price changes is solely because the items as a whole give less stats. If you're taking stats off items, they should cost less. There is no argument in the world that says otherwise.
