-3 AD Graves -5 MS Irelia -10 base damage Leblanc

Cool, you guys managed to lower the winrate of Graves, Irelia and Leblanc by some trivial amount. Who gives a shit?

These changes only serve to nerf the worst case scenario for these champion where they are behind. It limits their ability to snowball, thus lowering winrates, but literally does nothing to reduce the power of these champions when they are ahead or even. These changes literally do nothing to reduce the frustration of playing against these champions. They are tiny nerfs to early game and if any of these champions come out of that slightly ahead you're literally dealing with the same bullshit as pre-nerf.

Camille Attack speed lowered from .644 to .624

Yet another example, well now her jungle clear is a tiny bit worse but so fucking what? Good Camille junglers literally spend the entire game ganking you with her bullshit cross lane E gap closer that also stuns. This change does nothing to fix her utterly bullshit 1k true damage Qs.

LeBlanc Distortion (W) cooldown increased from 14/13/12/11/10 to 18/16/14/12/10

Where the fuck are the damage nerfs? Where the fuck are the E nerfs? Where the fuck are the passive nerfs, or W recall nerfs? Great at level 3 its gonna take her another 4 seconds to attempt to 3 shot me again. Shes still cancer to play against, im still fucking perma banning her. Literally trivial change.

Irelia Defiant Dance (W) cooldown increased from 16/15/14/13/12 to 20/18/16/14/12 incoming damage reduction lowered from 50% to 40%

Irelia bullies the fuck out of immobile mages who most of the time cant even fucking get her low enough to even use W defensively. Another bullshit change that only really nerfs an Irelia whos losing her lane but doesnt do shit against a Irelia whos just steamrolling an immobile mage that cant do anything against her.

Stop nerfing a champions worst case scenario to lower winrates and actually tackle frustration and power.

The pre season gave alot more identity to teams behind with comeback mechanics and we are seeing a shift in champ selection for the meta.

Many of the champions receiving nerfs have seen there winrates absolutely plummet because these lane bully champions are having a more difficult time securing kills due to more durability.

Leblanc 49 %

Akali 43%

Irelia 47

I do think Camille needs a more heavy handed nerf though.

Irelia has too much safety even when caught out got too much damage reduction so good nerf

Excellent akali nerf with shroud

Leblance main clearing skill nerfed heavy

Viktor nerfs that are needed

Aatrox nerd too and DH

Most of the highest winrate champs mid are mages

The game needs to be reverted back to late season 6 and the champions released since then rebalanced and kits changed to be less mobile (for the high mobility ones)

If Irelia is so strong mid why is it her worst performance?
