TRUEEEEEEE. High elo nerfs lets go! This is the sole reason this champ is crazy broken, outside of his unstoppable teamfight. That shield in toplane was the only reason why he was viable at all. It is a poke that gives rediculous value and does damage + protects against any backtrading, and his E runs you over like irelia and then some with little to no counterplay as his value on auto Q is better value than any other champion in the game.
@@summonstormx It's so obnoxious, how he can E q dash which is already insane to gap close, and he still has so much move speed to just auto Q you to death and deny any chance of spacing him, like??? just remove the move speed honestly
@@vocecaiunocontodomalakoi7541 honestly it would be fine if it was just the starting value and stayed that. his ms actually ramps over the course of the e and its giga aids.
The reason behind the minor Yone nerf and not a bigger one is because World's is playing on an older patch which is 14.18. He's weaker in the current live build, in .19 BORK is nerfed with -10 AD. In 14.21 Bork is losing 2% current health damage. That's 2 indirect nerfs and 1 direct nerf.
IMO the problem with yone is how he doesn't really need to rely on Crit items for his damage and can just go for items like Botrk/Stridebreaker, effectively becoming a duelist/bruiser with no downsides to his damage numbers and on top of that he also can't really be punished early because of his kit allowing trades with very little counterplay. They really need to overhaul his damage scaling numbers so that he is forced to choose either crit/bruiser build with both having downsides (Crit being glass cannon and Bruiser having signficantly less damage but tankier). A good start would be to change the True damage portion of the E to either Magic/Physical and allow interrupts even if he tries to go back to his body. They can also reduce the base Shield value of W and add a scaling element based on Crit so he is more incentivized to build crit and remains weaker early . They can go a totally different route where they remove the shield from W and add it on to his Ultimate, where the shield value would scale more on the no of champions hit. This would mean he would be significantly weaker pre 6 and also reward good yone players post 6.
As far as I can tell, BorK is at the core of most current builds. Up to 6% as during the laning phase might be nice, but 2% current HP on hit seems like a way bigger nerf in comparison.
@@claasmachens3858 blade is just a tool to get ppl below WWs W threshholds, where his passive and W do the rest. also current HP nerfs are always less significant thatn the numebrs suggest, since with every time hey are applied, the opponent now has more HP left so there is more current HP to be damaged. ofc it is very minor, but there is a factor of diminishing returns. and while champs like irelia, master yi etc. depend on blades damage, WW is not. by the time his 2nd W threshhold is hit, blade already doesnt do any damage anymore. also the extra attackspeed might allow him to build less attackspeed overall, maybe even skipping blade to go stridebreaker or trinity as the only attackspeed items. already stridebreaker and titanic are more popular and higher winrate on WW jgl, while trinity is much higher winrate, but with a smaller sample size (still over 1k games, last 30 days emerald+) on toplane the non blade builds have the same issues as trinity on jgl WW so comparing them is more difficult, but in both roles blade already isnt a must and especially with trinity instead of blade u might be able to stack ability haste and resistanced, allowing u to get a lot of Es off in lategame fights.
I like LS takes but when he comes out talking about not nerfing the "OP" shit at Words that are 3 patchs old im like wtf his he playing/talking about? Nhila as ppls on this comments ar talking was micro patched (she had a 54-55% winrate) no mentions, Camille beeing the top meta in soloq for the past 6 patchs how cares, like wtf are we talking about , it seems he wants a pro play patch that will be use 2 months from now afther Words while the normal/ranked game is in a complete dissuray
I actually think targetting Yone's W for nerfs was a great idea, they should have even got a lil harder with it though. Although maybe the BotRK nerfs made them think twice? (even though I thought the idea was to push him to build crit). RIP Irelia for another patch
I didn’t expect a nia jax reference this morning. I visualizing mist of my thoughts so thanks for the imagination of nia jax jumping onto me. Don’t threaten me with a good time
Aurelion Sol's E is not really that gutted, given that most people don't stay over it through the entire duration. It's more like a change from 4% per tick to 3% per tick. Pretty negligible, all things considered.
Can someone please explain how is AP Kaisa dead? I don't get it the nerf doesn't look that impactful, if anything it looks like a bigger nerf for on-hit Kaisa?
I’ve been running her this patch and personally she doesn’t feel dead I’ve still had success with her does LS say that in this video? I kind of just skimmed through parts of the video
Ratios are more significant than flat changes in general. AD Ratios remain untouched, but besides all the flat nerfs to on-hit Kaisa through flat nerfs, there are fairly substantial nerfs to Kai'sa's AP ratios on her passive. Put all that together, and on-hit Kai'sa was hit decently, and AP Kai'sa got hit way harder. A substantial portion of AP Kai'sa's damage (about like 25%) comes from her passive, not just her W - all in all, picking AP is just worse than on-hit now unless your team is full AP.
ap kaisa has magic pen and more ap, while the scaling is basically unaffected, the flat damage is almost halved. whilst on hit kaisa would deal e.g. 40 damage post mitigation with 6 passive procks, ap kaisa would deal ~60 bc she builds cryptbloom. her W doesnt just apply 3 stacks but also does the passive dmg 3 times. so she is not just skipping over the damage. on hit kaisa ironically is less dependant on that part of the passive than AP kaisa. really sad to see riot nerfing her that way as they clearly know it is the better build but people are too dumb to buy any items other than the recommended shop items. one funny thing is veigar had a patch of low playrate, but got high winrates with E lv 1 bc of successful invades. so the patch afterwards the system recommended skilling E lv 1. and bc more than 2/3 of the community just do whatever is recommended, itkept the most popular lv 1 skill and kept being recommended until riot manually forced the system to recommend Q lv 1. that is the state of league. work that in other games is done by any gold level player to try and find interesting strats, builds or sth. in this game isnt even done in pro play. the majority of the community is less competitive than the average candy crush player.
@@ambiguousspotlightofinsani6764 I know that the passive is what deals dmg but again, they just removed 20 flat dmg and 1% AP from the first hits of the passive while the detonation remains the same
ap kai sa isnt dead, at most shes losing 3% damage, in summary its not the reason youre picking ap kaisa, in the situations you do shes over killing anyway, bad take
I would actually go further and argue, the game would turn to shit, if they based their changes on the 14.18 pro meta after they took all meta behind the barn and shot it in 14.19.
Nothing on xerath and Velkoz, nothing for me. Dude yone didn't even get nerfd because last patch they buffed him. So.. in the gran scheme of things between these 2 patches he actually got stronger.
I have been away from league and all the added negativity for a year and just returned and when I saw the patch I was like. Don't care, doesn't matter whatever, kinda nice. That's it. But I was happy for the small good changes. Watching LS rundown now makes me remember how miserable it is to be a league gamer when you play all the time and just pray to god that the apparently wrong things finally get fixed but they never do or if they do it's like a year too late.
I do really belive that LS does know what he is talking about when he talks about good pro picks and pro play. But I have no clue, why he is analything patch 14.21, based on the 14.18 worlds meta, as if the past 2 patches hadn't just overhauled all meta considerations.
Sivir is a bad champ now, which kinda sad for me. But the latest changes, might be good for W max. Not saying sivir is good, W max just might be slightly better
Mages are the strongest champions in the game. They have gotten non stop buffs since the start of the season, they were barely nerfed when bruiser and ADC items were gutted, and MR items were nerfed.
5-6% damage buffs across the board for some champs, straight up gutting their manapools and whatnot, meanwhile Yone get's a 1% nerf not even on his W. WHat a joke of a balance team
Hey minus the shit yone nerft, the mana nerfs to champs are good because in todays league mana doesnt feel like a resource u need to manage bacause it comes back so fast
Make yone e like 30 second cdr, that starts after he snaps back. All ranks, might make him balanced. And remove its true damage amp, make it magic or physical
If yone actually got rooted/stunned during his snap back, it wouldnt be so bad, in fact it would be absolutely fine. The fact that he can just get on top of you f you up and then if you try to lock him down he says haha hehe and avoids the CC is what makes it feel unfair

I don't understand why you do this LS. You seem totally out of it and just want to make memes and jokes. I been watching your patch videos for a while and you always used to be insightful beyond anyone elses pov. Now you're just promoting your weird off meta picks and saying shit is half a auto worth of damage so not a big deal. Don't you think the Riot team has certain plans with these changes? When are you going to go back and say something insightful again
It mathematically is half of a auto worth of damage, and no I don't think Riot has any plans with these changes because I've had multiple hour long+ talks with the balance team which you can see on my main TH-cam channel and these buffs are just purely winrate and/or placebo. No clue what you're saying about insight as me making the math comments are actually more insightful because they can be grappled with more by average person. I also used to make more tasteless and derogatory jokes in the last but stopped doing them for obvious reasons. Your comment is just super weird. Patch notes have been repetitive for the last 5 years because of curse-of-six (.6 patch forward is always filler usually) and Riot changed balance approach. Your comment is really fucking dumb, do better.
What will it take for the fun to watch champions to be meta again.. LeBlanc, zed, Zoe, talon, riven, zeri, Annie, shaco, etc. I cant remember all of them off the top of my head.. but the pattern should be easy enough to follow.

It mathematically is half of a auto worth of damage, and no I don't think Riot has any plans with these changes because I've had multiple hour long+ talks with the balance team which you can see on my main TH-cam channel and these buffs are just purely winrate and/or placebo. No clue what you're saying about insight as me making the math comments are actually more insightful because they can be grappled with more by average person. I also used to make more tasteless and derogatory jokes in the last but stopped doing them for obvious reasons. Your comment is just super weird. Patch notes have been repetitive for the last 5 years because of curse-of-six (.6 patch forward is always filler usually) and Riot changed balance approach. Your comment is really fucking dumb, do better.
What will it take for the fun to watch champions to be meta again.. LeBlanc, zed, Zoe, talon, riven, zeri, Annie, shaco, etc. I cant remember all of them off the top of my head.. but the pattern should be easy enough to follow.
Fun to watch? I dunno, I like seeing structure in proplay, which is why I Love Ardent meta. Everyone knew what they had to do.
We just had LeBlanc in the meta, Zeri was meta during most of the summer split...
Also LeBlanc, Zed and Annie do not make any pattern.
Didn’t see the Nia Jax mention coming lmao
