Greetings, Ok I looked over these changes some I like or find good. But the others I find a waste or a nerf to the grave. First lets look at the Champ changes . The nerf to ashe is good but i just don't care, the missile speed change is unneeded in my book because of the pick rate of brand. I dont like the passive change to Cait because now her early game damage will be a bit too much while the Ult buff is not meant to be. Cause now you will need to have an ally or pray the you have the armor and health to live. The nerf to Ekko is seen coming since of how strong he is in the jungle. The Jayce upgrade is a be odd but not bad either. While the nerf to Kat and LB are a godsend for Broz ranked players. The last changes are out of left field in terms of need. First we have the nerf to Sivir ult which is a good and bad thing. Then the change to Shyv's W is ok but since she doesn't she a lot of play it's ok. While the Shen changes are great for his solo lane phase of the game. Now on to the change that pisses me off complete and might even send this champ to his grave.

Malphite Brutal Strikes [ W ]

Passive now grants 10/15/20/25/30% bonus Armor instead of giving his basic attacks 30/38/46/54/62% splash damage Active now makes Malphite’s basic attack deal an additional 25/40/55/70/85 [ +0.15 AP ] magic damage to his primary target and all targets nearby Active no longer grants % bonus Armor or % Attack Damage

I just dont get it why would they do this to him. His W is one of the only ways to for him to CS and trade in lane. I hope that this change does not live threw PBE and get rejected. I hope the rest of you look this over and considered what these changes mean. Even look into the item changes to Twisted Treeline and Crystal Star.

You'll find out tonight if the changes make it through. 99.9% they do, because they would have been reverted in the PBE by now, if they weren't going through for the patch which is creeping up on you now.

And it's not a nerf, it's meant to give him tankiness plus wave management to give a stronger laning phase. He won't have the same pushing power but he was never a split pusher anyway. It's definitely going to make laning easier.

I don't see how this is a nerf tbh.

first of all, the pbe changes are not supposed to nerf malphite. theyre changes that are supposed to help him somewhat.

he now permanently profits from his armor bonus, instead of just 6 seconds. and he gains the cleave and bonus damage on active when he needs it in trades, instead of auto pushing the lane. the ad bonus wasnt that important for him. imo all they could do now is increase the armor scaling on his e again, with cleaver being a thing. and possibly ramp up the attack speed slow by lategame.

second, didnt brands ult always work like that? the projectile sped up with each bounce, and on enemy champions that are affliced by his passive?

the cait buff just straight up sucks and is uneccessary. and those jayce buffs... oh joy. hes not gonna be a pest at all. apparantly we have forgotten what its like when jayce is strong.

the leblanc nerfs are only supposed to trash her, instead of tackling her actual problems, which is that her w needs mechanical restrictions. building short cooldown flashes into champion kits doesnt work. kassadin being the example. especially not on ranged assassins.
