Excited to say I've been recently promoted to🌟Game Design Architect🌟at Riot after 14 years on League of Legends!

So glad I picked up this game in college😀

Mel is getting updated. Should see her on PBE soon.

Mel’s getting a Midscope update and we’re here to explain what’s changing with The Soul’s Reflection and why.

we're back

@295aminute we nerfed her 8 times

[August @RiotAugust]

Bel'Veth is currently one of the strongest late game champs in League, similar to Kayle and ASol. Her playrate has increased 2-3x and we're seeing her winrate go up by the day. She was winning ~46% of her high MMR games on 7/28 and that number has increased to ~51% in 5 days.

Her power is likely to keep increasing over the patch as players optimize so we're nerfing her scaling a bit.

HP Growth: 110 >>> 105
R Total AS Buff: 5/15/25% >>> 6/13/20%

Congrats to the Locke team on his reveal!

The Ashen Exorcist has a new target in his sights. It’s time to free Vayne from her demonic curse ⚔️

Well if it isn't the consequences of my own actions

[August @RiotAugust]

The team has been working on some Shyvana changes for 16.9. They should be showing up on the PBE soon.

[August @RiotAugust]

Zeri changes should be on PBE. Here are the goals:
-Restore some of her old identity by increasing ⚡️SPEED ⚡️
-Increase power in lane
-Lower Burst Damage and late game DPS to compensate

What could go wrong

[August @RiotAugust]

@_LucasBorges It's enough time when the champ in question has the highest playrate in the game. Means we have a lot of data, even after 1 day.

For perspective, the highest winrate jungler tends to sit around 53%. Shy was 4% stronger (and likely to go higher when optimized).

[August @RiotAugust]

Shyvana’s rework came out strong (57% winrate). We expect her to only get stronger as players optimize so we put together a micro patch nerf. It should be live now.

[August @RiotAugust]

@dg_hallu Something we notice for many champion releases is it takes time for high mmr winrates to catchup to low mmr. Not saying she isn't low-mmr skewed, just noting that the current skew you're seeing is unlikely to be as sharp in the future.

@Mortdog hi plus buff jinx and ekko and vi and jhin and gnar and viego and morgana and
