Quoted:
Hitting items that contribute to overly tough dudes - mostly Locket and Randuin's. Some small nerfs to the toughness of tanky champs with high bases (Malph, Gragas, Udyr).

We're not hurting melee damage for the mostpart - I can't think of any changes specifically targeted at this right now. We're mostly worried about guys who are too hard to kill and have too much threat at the same time, not melee damage or pure tanks.

There's also a lot going on this patch. Like, omg a lot.

Same thread for everything posted below

Quoted:
Taking a small bit out of Morde, but not much, and a little jungle speed off Olaf.


Quoted:
Locket is going to be nerfed as heavily as I can. Locket is really deceptive in how much effective health it gives over a fight (and especially if combined with spirit visage). I play a lot of Udyr, and abuse the living Hell out of it myself.

Randuin's is too gold efficient for how good the active is. Just taking that down to something more reasonable.


Quoted:
Touching Garen's toughness a bit by reducing bases and increasing a little AD scaling. Gives a little more choice in your build and lets you focus more on damage or tankiness, or some combination of it.


Quoted:
We're buffing Tiger's a bit, and lowering raw survivability a little. If it's too much, we can bring him back up - he's pretty crazy right now.


Quoted:
A little - might need to do something here, though Green Pot is taking a nerf that should slow him down to dragon a bit. WW is someone I feel a little better being speedier since his teamfight damage is much lower that Olaf's, but might be out of line still.


Quoted:
In a future patch we're touching healers. For now, they have to sit in the basement a little longer - with the right changes, we can get support in a good place where they're allowed to be more properly balanced. That's my next big initiative after this.


Quoted:
The worst, as you mention, are the ones what need zero damage items and remain a threat when stacking tank stats. That's the primary hits of this patch.


So a lot of things seems to be going on to change the meta game !

Wtf most tank items are already the most inefficient and hardest to farm up to

Just nerf the champions or something or buff damage

Garen deserves a nerf.
But why Locket?

According to Morello, the current Locket is actually better on tanks than it is on support champions. Somehow the HP and all the HP regen that Locket gives makes tanks far more durable when they grab it, on top of getting 10% CDR from Locket as well

They won't change mundo, mundo isn't some unstoppable damage dealing tank bastard like Mord. Mundo can easily be Ignite > Focus > Dead. If they nerf him, it's because people whined that they couldn't kill him because they were doing it wrong.

I can think of a lot of other counters for Mundo.

I think their main focus will be Garen/Mord/Gragas(I think hes balanced)/Vlad. Vlad is obvious because he can be MAJOR tanky without ever even touching tank items. I refuse to talk about how OP Mord and Garen can be.

vlad doesnt tanky, vlad just a big glob of health, ignite him and kill him.
my defense for morde is just that i love him, i cant get too mad, depending on what they do.
garen deserves whatever he gets.
dont see gragas enough to have an opinion.
Blind Monk =/= Udyr. Please do not make that mistake; Blind Monk was made of pure awesome, from concentrate. - Guinsoo

Ignite?(QSS) > Focus (Stupid Mundo was out of position) > Dead (He's taken down 2 squishies before that!)

Don't get me started on how many bad Mundo's I have seen.

Early game, Here comes Mundo, "LOL he has his W on".

I rest my case...

Mordekaiser needs a slight nerf, as they said, but not a major one. Nerfing his Iron Man passive to 25% instead of 30% would actually be substantial.

Gragas is fine, I really haven't seen any good Gragas players lately.

Vlad may need a slight nerf, he can reach over 4000 health easily with just AP items. Get a Banshee's Veil and a Thornmail or some other armor item, and he's actually a decent tank.

Garen needs a nerf. I'm not unhappy with his skills, but more about how little skills it takes to play him. With Garen, it's wait in brush-->Judgment-->Ultimate-->Profit. Judgment needs a nerf, while most of his other skills should actually be fine.
