LYON and Inspired officially confirmed the move. The Polish jungler explained that he needed to return home to Poland to handle personal matters, adding: “I have some things to take care of in Poland. I’ll give more details about it in the future. Nothing bad, but I really need to be home right now.”

MSI itself was a grind with a lot of Bo5. We beat TES (CN), lost to HLE (KR), beat T1 (KR) and then lost to LYON (NA). A nice succession of "oh man we're good!" and "oh fuck we suck" which ended up in a top 4. Overall a lot of valuable stage experience.

Internally, our team practice was getting unproductive. We were divided between 2 coaching philosophies, so we had to make a hard choice. We decided to empower the new approach by promoting Perkz to head coach, taking someone exciting to create a new project on a successful base. He will lead us to battle for Summer and Worlds.

EWC in Paris was a challenge, as the event was right after MSI in Daejeon. The tournament is fast paced (you can get eliminated by the end of Day 1), making it extra intense to handle everything. Perkz was not allowed on stage and we failed to implement any new systems. We lacked the accuracy needed to really matter on the international stage. GGWP KC, it's nice to have another European team beating CN/KR. Summer will be fun.

We just finished our start-of-the-split workshops, and I'm looking forward to our new adventures.
Thank you very much for your support. It never gets boring!

• Patch 26.14

This thread was created by the Post-Match Team.

With Peyz picking up Sylas in EWC to prove the point, Sylas could be argued now to be legitimately viable in every role.

Brand is also playable in all 5 positions with respectable winrates everywhere, as is Teemo.

I think Malphite is also capable of flexing all roles.

Are there any other champs in this category?

Not sure why there's nothing posted on this yet. These are big moves from AL, and the end of the 2025 roster. Also, rumors are going around that Flandre is out of AL, and that he is either going to BLG or taking a break (he has wrist issues iirc). Very interesting couple of days in the LPL.

DK has been through so many ups and downs, and after 2,087 days, they’ve finally won another international title. Through all of it, Showmaker just kept going. He’s always been the kind of player who isn’t afraid to go for the play, which feels so fitting for his name.

Sometimes I wonder how incredible his story would sound if it were told in reverse: six years after his debut, he finally wins Worlds. I just hope we get to watch him compete for as long as possible.

I love Showmaker so much.

Yeah im Emerald/Diamond with 600 games, and? So what? What is the point you are trying to make? That I like playing league? Literally everyone peaks at some rank eventually, I really don't understand this talking point. And its only used by people who are equally "stuck" (which just means correctly placed on the ladder to their skill) or by smurfs and boosters. Sure, in high GM or Challenger its impressive to see someone get there with few games or high winrate. But for 99.9999% of players being hardstuck is the norm? How does having a lot of games make me better or worse than any other player?

It’s unacceptable that tickets for Fan First Pre-Sale opens in 5 hours and majority haven’t gotten the code to unlock the tickets. Many have expressed their concerns and frustration. Yet, no statement on the delay and issue with getting the code from Riot

For me, it’s the Coven skin line. It has an unmatched concept and some of the best splash arts in the game. I also love that the universe was expanded into Legends of Runeterra through its cards.But where is Coven Lux😅😭

From an age of darkness, a time of DonJake jungle. Now, the flame will be linked once more.  

Let the Restoration begin.

Introducing… THE RUDDY RENAISSANCE.

Toplaner - Robocop

Jungler - Anonymouss

Midlaner - Nan0

Botlaner - Afriibi

Support - J3rkie

Looks like Ruddy picked up all of CITA Kaizen's roster that made a decent run at EMEA Masters. Also cool paintings.

>>> Champion Buffs <<<

Alistar

"Alistar has been closer to the bottom of the pecking order for the melee support. That said, our meta adjustments to move melee supports up relative to ranged supports has been reasonably successful, so we're pretty happy with how that's played out"

• Base Move Speed increased 330 >>> 335

Kai'Sa

• [P] Second Skin - Caustic Wounds on-hit damage increased 4-24 (based on levels 1-18, linear, 26.35 @ 20) (+12% AP) (+1-6 (based on levels 1-18, linear, 6.59 @ 20) (+3% AP) per prior Plasma stack) >>> 4-30 (based on levels 1-18, linear, 33.06 @ 20) (+12% AP) (+1-8 (based on levels 1-18, linear, 8.82 @ 20) (+3% AP) per prior Plasma stack)

Maokai

• [Q] Bramble Smash buffs:
  • AP ratio increased 40% >>> 50%
  • Bonus monster damage increased 140/150/160/170/180 >>> 150/160/170/180/190

Volibear

• [Q] Thundering Smash cooldown reduced 14/13/12/11/10 >>> 12/11.5/11/10.5/10 seconds

Zac

• Armor per level increased 4.7 >>> 5.2

• [E] Elastic Slingshot cooldown reduced 22/19/16/13/10 >>> 21/18/15/12/9 seconds

>>> Champion Nerfs <<<

Locke

"Locke is still pretty strong; he has been tapering off in the lowest skill brackets and the high skill brackets, but in the "skilled" skill brackets (around Emerald/Diamond), Locke is able to both take over the game and also not throw it

At the higher skill brackets, he can snowball but needs to play very well without throwing as he falls off sharply

At the lower skill brackets, the executional demands and constant throws can make him fall off faster

Overall, we feel his release has landed well"

• Base HP reduced 655 >>> 620

• [Q] Ritual Nails base damage per Soul Nail reduced 50/58/66/74/82 >>> 40/48/56/64/72

• [W] Soul Ignition nerfs:

  • Base bonus Move Speed reduced 40/45/50/55/60% >>> 40% flat
  • Base max Grey HP from damage taken reduced 40/70/100/130/160 >>> 40/60/80/100/120

Mordekaiser

"Morde's ult changes from last patch were really cool

However, they overshot in magnitude and we haven't been super happy with the ult gameplay after seeing it on live, losing a lot of the tension in whether or not he will successfully 1v1 them and also making Morde feel a lot weaker outside of his R moment

One of the core concepts of the Juggernaut class is that they should have windowed moments of target access, but should have on average less continuous target access than other classes (eg. lower base movespeed for example)

We think that Morde could do with more target access broadly, but through this type of windowed access, hence buffing his E"

• [E] Death's Grasp cooldown reduced 18/16/14/12/10 >>> 16/14/12/10/8 seconds

• [R] Realm of Death max HP, AP, base AD, total Attack Speed, Armor, Magic Resistance, and Size steal ratio reduced 13% >>> 10%

Naafiri

• [R] Hounds' Pursuit damage reduced 150/225/300 (+120% bonus AD) (+15/22.5/30 (+12% bonus AD) per [P] Packmate) >>> 125/200/275 (+100% bonus AD) (+12.5/20/27.5 (+10% bonus AD) per [P] Packmate)

Riven

"Since the release of Gluttonous Greaves + a lot of healing from Endless Hunger buffs and the surrounding ecosystem, she has risen to the top of the pack

As a light fighter broadly, she's having the shape that we think is reasonably healthy, though long term, giving her more choices in the first slot other than Axiom (eg. more durable paths as well) would be broadly desirable (though she synergizes very well with the ability haste there), that would allow her to have other modes of success that aren't just one shotting her target"

• [R1] Blade of the Exile bonus AD ratio reduced 25% >>> 20%

• [R2] Wind Slash bonus AD ratio reduced 60-180% >>> 55-165% (based on target's missing HP 0-75%)

Sylas

• [Q] Chain Lash initial damage reduced 40/65/90/115/140 (+45% AP) >>> 40/60/80/100/120 (+40% AP)

>>> Champion Adjustments <<<

Bel'Veth

"This patch, we're launching a set of Bel'Veth changes that are aimed at making her gameplay pattern around her early levels weaker (which is currently very high skill skewed), in order to allow her to fulfil her fantasy as a late game scaling champion

The major changes here are making her Q at early levels function more like a regular dueling ability (4-1s CD) to still allow her to have high uptime on this skill, but also reduce just how heavily she can put certain champions behind with early invades in particular when her Q is at 1s CD

Historically, this has caused us to repeatedly nerf her when she is particularly strong at doing this, resulting in her being balanced around this capability at a loss to many of her other more core, resonant functions

While we acknowledge that there's a subset of Bel'Veth players who love this capability, broadly, we think it's paying too many tradeoffs for the rest of her audience

She's also receiving a pretty significant hit to her base stats to allow power budget for some of the other areas that Bel'Veth players have had strong fantasy and resonance with

Mainly, the major change on this patch is giving her empowered form infinite duration at level 16, which hopefully feels like a good blend of mechanics and fantasy alignment"

  • Life Steal adjusted 20% flat (+100% Life Steal) >>> 20/25/30/35/40% (+0% Life Steal)

>>> System Buffs <<<

Bastionbreaker

"Bastionbreaker has been a pretty niche item and is pretty expensive to deviate for a strategic output, so we're looking to make it more accessible"

• Shaped Charge base bonus ability true damage increased 30/15 >>> 50/25 (melee/ranged)

• Cost reduced 3200 >>> 3000 gold

>>> System Nerfs <<<

"Sundered Sky has been strong and meta defining at the highest levels of play for quite a while now, so we're looking to take a pass at the fighter item system, now that we're out of the tournament windows

Notably, we think it's been suppressing a bit of meta diversity, especially for things like AP jungle, or Tank JG. Part of that is intentional but the magnitude is a bit off"

Jack of All Trades

"Jack of All Trades nerf was also pushed to this patch; it has been a bit too strong and too present, especially for users that opt into strong defenses and are able to also supplement that with strong offense"

• Adaptive Force reduced 10/25 AP or 6/15 AD >>> 8/20 AP or 4.8/12 AD (based on Jack Stacks 5/10)

I don't know if anyone will see this or appreciate it, but I wanted to post this because this took me the majority of my life to reach this rank (I know rank inflation blah blah). I started playing when I was a child. I have spent thousands of hours over the years and my dreams of reaching higher ranks are just a whisper in my far away memories. However, today I quit my job and I'm starting my PhD in the fall so I know my league days are soon to be over. I think society as a whole will probably benefit from me focusing on my studies rather than this hellscape of a videogame. Poetic, I guess, to reach Diamond before I wind down.

I don't know why or how I made Diamond 4 rather than in previous years either if people are wondering how to climb. Compared to when I was twelve for example, I don't speak negatively in chat anymore nor do I ever really get banned, so maybe that helps.

I recommend reading my initial post for the full context of what this is all about. It isn't necessary but it does add some context.

Right now in PBE, they switched the order of operations of the HP reduction from Mordekaiser's R, meaning the behaviour against targets that have 90% or more of their HP will be different.

To put an example, with a 10% stat steal against a 1000 HP target;

• In live, R first reduces the target's maxHP from 1000/1000 to 900/900 and then subtracts 100 from their currentHP, meaning the final HP is 800/900.
• In PBE, R first subtracts 100 from their current HP and then reduces the target's maxHP from 900/1000 to 900/900, meaning the final HP is 900/900.

This will probably be mentioned as a bugfix, or will go undocumented entirely.

Edit: There was an attempt to fix this in 10.6, but said fix was never shipped. This confirms it as a bug.

No actual post match thread yet so this will have to do. EDG lose 2-0 after being up in both early games. Series MVP goes to tangyuan, MVP for the singular games go to Crisp and Tangyuan

Currently it is known about the outcome of Flandre, but initially he was signed under the promise that there won't be a substitute for him.

Rumors have it that BLG is looking to pick him up instead of having Bin and Wenbo substitute for each other.
