10.17 PATCH NOTES BREAKDOWN
Analysis of the most impactful changes for the League of Legends 10.17 patch update.
Aatrox ( Buffed )
> A small buff to Aatrox that won’t propel him to meta again. Increased bonus damage gives him also better healing so he will be more tanky than before.
Caitlyn ( Nerfed )
> She had a lot of indirect buffs to her with other ADC champions getting nerfed. Because of that she was the strongest ADC for some time but now she’s geting some minor nerfs so that other champions can be played.
Evelynn ( Nerfed )
> Evelynn got a lot of buffs during last few patches that made her a top tier Jungler. A small nerf to her Q won’t change the reason why is she picked.
Gragas ( Buffed )
> A very small buff for Gragas, 3 armor points won’t make that much of a change to push him back into the meta. Therefore he will stay a decent jungler, especially in Pro play.
Hecarim ( Nerfed )
> Considering he was buffed last patch and was doing great ever since, this is just a minor nerf that won’t influence his performance in game.
Kai’Sa ( Buffed )
> This seems like a big buff for Kai’Sa but it’s not. Kai’Sa needs a really good setup to get going and in current meta she is just not good enough. It’s a buff but it won’t change her place in the meta.
Lux ( Nerfed )
> A small nerf to Lux supports that max W. This change won’t affect damage-oriented builds.
Qiyana ( Nerfed )
> This nerf happened because Qiyana was dominating Diamond 2+ games with 56% WR. She’s a roam-oriented champ that doesn’t need to farm like her Mid lane opponents and her items are a lot cheaper compared to other roles. She’s a very difficult champion to balance for both Solo Queue and Pro play.
Sona ( Nerfed )
> Sona has been dominating bot lane for quite some time now. Because of that she’s getting some nerfs that shouldn’t really influence her standing in the meta that much. She’ll be weaker, correct, but her primary power is still there. In conclusion, she will still remain a strong pick in the Bot lane.
Varus ( Buffed )
> Varus is in a really bad spot right now, let’s hope that this small buff will help him get out of the swamp and back into the meta. But he needs a lot more help to become a meta pick again.
Xayah ( Buffed )
> This is not super big, she’s a conditional hyper carry where she requires opponents to go after her. She needs a lot of time and gold to be strong. You’re mostly picking Xayah as a response to enemy team composition.
In conclusion, this won’t help her to be a standalone ADC.
Yone ( Nerfed )
> This is a pretty big deal for Yone. He’s losing a lot of damage in the early game and sustainability for late game.
In conclusion, these were all the important changes for the League of Legends 10.17 patch update.
