While it’s unclear how Riot intends to nerf or buff the champions listed, the fact that the company is targeting the ones outperforming everyone in the top and mid lane is a good start. Riot is also looking into buffing underplayed champions as well, such as Nasus, Galio, Ivern and Xin Zhao, who have all been missing from the Rift for the last couple of months. It’s hard to escape a fed Riven without them since she has three small dashes via her Q and one bigger dash via her E. If Riven gets ahead, she becomes a nightmare to deal with, especially if you have no abilities to dash or blinks. The other surprise champion is Riven, who’s hated by most mid laners and ADCs in the game due to how strong she is against immobile champions. She’s been Riot’s love child for the mid and top lane for the past few months with different buffs targeted at bringing her back into the meta. She lost half of her reworked mechanics that she had on release, such as true stealth under towers, healing, micro-stun, and a movement speed increase while extending her shroud. ![]() The champion has been a big issue for both solo queue and competitive play with her reworked kit. One surprising champ that’s being targeted for buffs after getting gutted for multiple patches in a row is Akali. ![]() His item build, which focuses on lethality combined with runes to reduce his ultimate cooldown, makes him extremely scary for side laners in non-coordinated play. The champ boasts a 54 percent win rate, based on op.gg data, and has a six percent pick rate. Yetter also announced a series of buffs for weaker or underplayed champions and a surprise nerf to Nocturne in the mid lane. ![]() Specific changelists should be previewed tomorrow.
