They buffed BRAND, Draven, Evelynn, Ezreal, Jayce, JINX, Malphite, Morgana, RIVEN and Vi
Most of these currently have above 50% winrates already. Others are very popular picks atm and/or constantly played in pro scenes.
Ruff6264 votesIt's not an evelynn buff. I dont know why people think it is. It's a cap on the damage eve can do to tanks, NOT a buff.
2000 hp adc/assassin/whatever assuming 500ap
Before: 25%+5%(ap) or 600 damage After: 400+40%ap (200) or 600 damage
Damage is unchanged at 2000hp. Targets under 2000 take slightly more damage since there is a large flat dmg piece, anything over 2k takes a ton less, tanks especially. Lets look at a 4000hp tank
Before: 30% of 4000 or 1200 damage After: still 600 damage.
Get it now? It's a hard nerf on eve vs tanks.
-Dia eve main
Iageri1 votesNothing on tristana?
Oh.. probably for the better. She's in a good state but all of her counters are strong right now. QQ
Least kennen got a small buff. Good for farming. It may seem like a nerf with the dmg reduction but the 50% damage to minions being gone is really nice for farming.
Depárt1 votesThey were buffed because they are being crowded out by busted champions, they're all in an ok spot but hopefully they will be more viable regardless of winrate, playrate is a bigger statistic.
disregardable1 votesA bunch of slight increases in ultimate damage. They probably think their ults aren't as impactful as other characters.
Also, remember: The PBE is an experimental ground. Buffs can and do get adjusted between day 1 and day 14.
Princess Íncest1 votesit's the least they can do for eve.
Oleandervine1 votesI think your keyword is "pro scenes." These next two patches are the two leading into worlds, and Riot stated there would be specific pro level balancing going on in these patches.
Maiziea1 votesWhich of these are played in pro scenes? I don't watch EU/NA much but none of these are played in LCK, Ezreal was earlier in the season but not much anymore, and from the EU/NA lcs games I did watch I haven't seen any of these champions. I like Jinx so I'm happy with the small buff on the ult, it'll definitely make a difference for me, I agree that the buffs might not be needed but most of them are just small bugs that I don't think will make much of a difference. And the ones that will make a big difference never stay more than a few patches anyway.
