The upcoming patch is just a nerf fest to weak or balanced champions and items with very few exceptions. I do understand that it is targeted for worlds but if you want worlds to be played on that specific patch, why not make it worlds limited and not ruin certain champions' viability in solo Q?
well players practice on live servers so yeah, we have to endure it too. After worlds hopefully things will go back to normal
They aren't nerfing weak or balanced champions. Every champion that is being nerfed is currently dominating the esports scene and still but to a lesser extent the live servers. I have played on the PBE and I can tell you, all the champs that are getting nerfed are not getting thrown into the ground. These champs will still be viable. Heck, people find a way to make Yorick viable.
All champion rotate in and out of viability, it's the meta cycle. It's difficult to make all champions viable at the same time, so Riot is simply trying to focus on the strongest champions currently and trying to bring them down a notch to be equal with the rest.
You're mid silver with ~45 games, and have played about 10 games in the past month. You don't have the ability to properly call what's weak or balanced.
They are trying to get the triumvirate of top laners down, ekko gnar and Shen are top tier pro picks. And some Ashe and yasuo nerfs as Ashe is op for pros and yasuo top has been a problem for a while. And frozen mallet nerf is probably for gnar and yasuo as they are the few champs that use it.
