Vi nerfed before lee sin

Movement speed decreased from 350 to 345

Assault and Battery [ R ]

Base damage decreased from 200/325/450 to 150/300/450

I'm jk about the title btw I don't think lee sin is as broken as everyone on these boards does when they blame everything on him (which I guess is fitting because he is a jungler and they probably blame their jungler for everything in their games too). Just thought it was interesting that they did nerf J4 and now Vi (although the j4 nerf was really more of a nerf to j4 top) but this nerf to vi is actually a real nerf surprisingly enough

For crying out loud, just reduce the range on her ultimate. God.

Or not nerf her because she's not overpowered. She was completely unplayed like a little while back.... Why the fuck is everyone aboard the Wambulance now?

well by doing this they are upping jungle diversity. This patch is where tank junglers finally get a chance to a shine, and for that to happen, j4 and vi needed to be nerfed. I agree with the OP that Lee is not as broken as people like to think he is therefore I believe the prime problem to be j4 and vi.

vi doesn't need to be nerfed.... that's retarded. Cyclical nerfs to ensure a rotation of differnet "OPs" is not diversity.

And the top junglers at the moment are J4, Rek'sai, Rengar

vi will still be really strong. And rek sai and rengar are both strong but not op (general consensus). In comparison to the junglers u just listed, the tanky junglers are buttcheeks.

25% damage nerf is a fucking lot, especially when it really isn't needed.

because she was always a stable clrearer, becuase she uses mainly %hp dmg

now junglers cant just clear the jungle, there is a small pool and vi is part of it , thats why she is a god tier jungler (because anyone at lower tier is barely viable/ easy to abuse since they cant clear)

if riot would make other junglers able to clear then both vi jarwan and probalby lee would drop in popularity

Completely ignoring Rengar and Reksai who are both significantly more widely used/stronger.

Rofl what, Rek Sai got hit by like 1 or 2 waves of nerfs and for Rengo his intial clear is ass. Plus vi's ganks are not only easier to pull off but have a higher chance of getting the kill.

Stil stronger, the nerfs to reksai merely allowed vi into the pool of viability. Vi deals less damage than the Rango too. If you look up guides on the Rangster it breaks down to "if you get close enough to Empower E someone they are dead no matter what they do."

actualy those 3 guys difer realy hard

rengar will be weaker early but he is an actual assasin, so there is that rek sai has better damage and dueling but worse ganks vi has the best early ganks and cc

i cant realy say if rek is strogner, every time i play her i feel insanely lackluster because ppl can just avoid me during my ganks. well there is also the sace that i dont know what to build on the guy, so in the end i cant compare her to vi

the nerfs to reksai merely allowed vi into the pool of viability

im not a rek player (i had ower 300 ranked games with vi in the past tho) so i would actualy be happy if you would tell me how to play this thing i try her from time to time but i just cant get any good results, and if you say she is this strong then it must be worth to learn her

You only really /need/ warrior enchant jg item, I prefer skirmisher. I linked a vid of Reksai being played in the LCS by Kikis from UoL (This is the most recent patch). Generally you want to finish with 1-2 offensive items, the rest defensive. Heads up, this game is played pretty poorly by UoL. haha
