Overall this is a buff intended to herald the end times for us all. Activate at your own peril, or just the peril of the lobby.<\/p>\n<p>Couldn\u2019t get the text changed to make Gunslinger into Guns Linger and turn all AD damage from the class into damage over time, so instead we opted to make the (4) piece have one more (4) in it for increased Jhinergy.<\/p>\n<p>Reroll Yordle gotta be a thing now please.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\tReroll is back on the menu, but what the heck are these Blitzcrank and Shen buffs?<\/p>\n<p>Jhin\u2019s finally getting the sniper-like trait he deserves! Will it be enough for reroll Jhin to be a thing?<\/p>\n<p>Lulu\u2019s tired of never getting an item, especially after we used her as an example of how Support units shouldn\u2019t be itemized in our recent Set Reviewed article.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re buffing Sona back to her Archangel reroll glory days, but honestly a lot more has been buffed since then so don\u2019t expect this to be the S-tier reroll you remember\u2014wait, it is S-tier, it\u2019s Sona-tier, and if you give her the right items, it\u2019s Sona-tear. (And if I continue these puns, it\u2019s Sona-tear-able.)\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\tBard\u2019s loss-streak into Fast 8\/9\/ or just reroll, until I bleed out is back!<\/p>\n<p>Cho\u2019Gath has never had his time to shine, or chow. So now we\u2019re giving him an additional stacking fantasy hook. Get this Juggernaut a couple Mana\/Tank items and get stacking!<\/p>\n<p>Be Twisted Fate and Graves and do crimes. These partners\u2019 synergy is now better than ever, so get to shooting cards, dealing bullets, and feeling the love of final patch LP.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\tWe\u2019re adding a flat Omnivamp passive to Gwen to allow you to build more damage items like Jeweled Gauntlet and Nashor\u2019s Tooth, while leaving the Bloodthirster at home.<\/p>\n<p>Malzahar has been the most overperforming champion in the set the world the entire galaxy. He far outperforms champions not in the set, most house cats, and my emotional support rock (Chip). It\u2019s been about nine too many patches without his nerf, so we\u2019re going extra hard here. While most of us on the team believe this nerf will make him unplayable, only one of us actually cares. C\u2019ya Malz.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\tSinged is all about being experimental, so we\u2019re returning him to his near-PBE (Public Beta Experiment) power. Yes, we know the E in PBE doesn\u2019t stand for Experiment; everyone logging in to play Space Gods knows it stands for EXCITEMENT!<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of experiments, we\u2019re (almost) doubling down on the passive Armor\/MR bonus to make them an even better counter-tech for heavy AP or AD lobbies.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\tOrnn is getting a Lore related buff that\u2019ll make him quite a lot stronger.<\/p>\n<p>Mel no longer takes a million Mana to give you a radiant item, now it\u2019s just a mellion.<\/p>\n<p>Finally with Zaahen being way more accessible, and Aurelion Sol being a bit easier to Unlock, we\u2019ve got some compensation nerfs to keep them true to their accessibility power thresholds.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\tWith the Tactician\u2019s Crown securely landing on the head of none other than SPOILER REDACTED, we can re-add our Prismatic trait access Augments that were previously disabled due to our Unlock changes done in 16.6 making them too easily accessed.<\/p>\n<p>And with Zaahen freed from his Augments (errr, Darkin weapon\u2026) we\u2019re safe to remove his trials.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Making Darkin hit harder and heal a bit less.
