Champion Buff Comments

Riot is taking another pass to buff niche builds and strategies, predominantly focusing on AP Irelia, Lane Kayn, AP Kog’Maw, Vayne Jungle, and Nilah Jungle. They are still committed to making more changes to other builds and strategies that the community would love to see.

Champion Nerf Comments

Gwen has been the best toplaner for quite some time due to her safe laning phase, which allows her to scale for free into the late game. The changes are aimed at giving her more weaknesses for players to punish.

Yunara is another champion who is overperforming in her role. Riot is attempting a bugfix pass for her, mainly targeting her Q bounces. It should result in an overall nerf to Yunara.

Rumble and Singed’s win rates have increased since the Red Side Dot changes. Both champions are performing roughly the same on the blue and red sides, which has resulted in them being OP, requiring nerfs to both.

Item Buff Comments

Horizon Focus has not seen enough playtime on most champions that can build the item outside of Vel’Koz types. Profane Hydra is another item that does not have enough users at the moment, resulting in buffs to help it be a better first item purchase.
