They reverted the attack speed slow change for Kalista. So basically she’s just getting damage nerfed early game (where it’s most important). Thanks riot!!!!!!!!

another year another new objective for my jungler to throw the game for while playing the game on easy mode. start of last season felt so nice with that 1 split of jungle being fair... why does this always happen

No changes to bounty system :(

Should nerf cc/buff or make tenacity more accessible, also remove minion block. Those are just mega feels bad things for melee champs. Cc and minion block

Have you ever played zed before? Zed’s damage are so low.and everyone is so hard for zed to kill.Now you jump out said you bought wrong item.We don’t need you to tell us which item is good,What we need is skill stats. I’m sorry, you really play this game?how about ask zedmains what zed needs,ok? So unprofessional!😅

season 14 is a abomination with tank meta

The talk of kalistas passive technically ia very interesting, i would be curious to know if the interaction in arena of giving her dashes 250 ability haste resulting in massive attack speed was hard coded or not because it was broken as hell but also the most fun I've had with weird interactions

Plsplspls buff marksmen

On top of that with the minion changes, you have made top lane even less interactive. You are without question, the worst thing to ever happen to this game. I need to be clear, I wish you personally absolutely no ill will. I do wish you had nothing to do with balance, or design on the game, in any capacity.

Phreak. You are the greatest thing to ever happen to league of legends. You wer the genius who changed top lane form being a 1 v 1 lane to a plated steal caps and doran shield base stat checker lane. And you also brought us the wonderful world of smolder and ziggs in pro and ranked play. I am so glad to have you again for another year and I am sure you won't brilliant changes like Warwick this last patch. Keep it up! You are doing such great things to make this game interactive! Please bring back Nasus vs Garen mid as well. We miss that too!

Hey there Phreak, I miss the previews/rundowns from stuff coming to League x) Would be awesome if you could do a video talking about the stuff coming soon as there seems to be a lot and exciting changes. Hope the holidays were good ^^

Disgusting figures

So when are we nerfing tanks? Every singular class of champs are going tank items like dead mans, hullbreaker, unending etc

Dearest Phreak, please use the ultimate on your champion Karthus on yourself. The game would be better without you as the face of communication

Can you fix LeBlancs base stats now that AD LB is dead?

When is viktor getting nerfed? why do we need to deal with a champ with 1 million range, above 51% wr in all ranks in Top, Mid, AND bot while being an early lane bully and late game scaler as well why are you letting this go on for so long? The micropatch didn’t do jackshit Stop giving placebo nerfs and actually do something

Really like the QoL changes to Kalista Passive. Two things to consider though: 1. Right now on live servers ms slows affect her attack speed while dashing, since the dash distance remains the same but the dash speed is reduced = more time spent in the air flying and more time between auto attacks. So when being hit with a heavy slow often times the best thing to do is to stand still and auto attack at the normal attack speed rate. But that is a double punishment and very annoying (movement and attack speed slow). So imo the correct behavior of slows would be that the dash speed AND the dash distance get reduced (sounds like a nerf but it's not). Because that way the time for a single dash is the same while being slowed and when not being slowed (= same attack speed) but the actual "movement" speed gets lowered. So a ms slow only affects movement and no longer attack speed as well. Because even with the changes presented in this video, ms slows still affect her attack speed which is unfair. 2. Using right click to auto attack is faster than using attack move click (at least last time I tested it). This is a subtle annoyence and would be cool if fixed.

5:00 warwick could do this before the rework, but it took a bit tighter micro. havent played since vanguard, but sad to see this skill mechanic removed.

id sound quality dropped arround 23:00 ? I heard many popings from the mic

Riot Fire this guy, retire the irelia Nerf, and nerf talon too what a clown

can u please consider adding a box u can check when u queue that says something along the lines of "i dont care if i have to sit an hour in queue, just give me my role" like for real i just got offrolled 3 games in a row and when i underperformed cus of a 1v2 perma situation i get told to end my life by a teammate. I did not improve at my role, i did not have fun, the game was not competitive, and now everyone is frustrated. Whats the point in giving me offrole 3 times? please consider this, its ridicolous

Thanks for making the game unfun and tank cc heavy op with every patch 👍🏻

BRING BACK 8.9 RYZE

Minion changes seem like an indirect nerf to skilled wave management and player snowball potential (through slowpushing --> diving). Will obviously have to play it to see, however I cannot say I am optimistic about playing lanes aside from botlane. Heat changes also seem a bit out of place, and seem like they'll just slow the game down more removing once possible plays.

Fizz mentioned As a former Fizz otp who had to quit because a squishy melee champ with 0 ranged spells to farm obviously just doesnt work mid lane (and certainly will never feel good to play or play against) nowadays, I wonder if he will ever get his well deserved rework

Riot FIRE THIS BALD FREAK ALREADY !!!!!!!!

idk man. Just went into practice tool on PBE....minion last hitting feels absolutely awful now. Trying to prep minions and they just die to the next round of minion attacks when they probably shouldn't. It almost feels bugged, seems like minions take extra damage when lower on health from other minions. It definitely feels bad. The Ashe change also feels egregiously bad.

Please don't change the cannon minions in midlane. Three wave crashes are the bread and butter of literally every matchup. Its just not something you want to mess with.

Crazy. If it's Kalista's hop/passive that's a problem until level 3. Disable the hop of her passive until she unlocked lvl 3. You need to preamble this that much and deal with so many issues in pro play for this long without considering this? Kalista doesn't need her hop 1 & 2. So easily fixable.

the fridge is empty

Phreak I have a question. You nerfed Fiora passive and W okay no problem. You nerfed then all items ad. Do you know that Fiora is the most dependent champion on item ad in the game? Change does not appear to affect all other bruisers, but this is a target nerf to one specific champion. Can you address the issue and fix the nerf that was not consciously done. It's simple buff ad base damage thank you.

who ashe buff? isn't she strong enough, agency(cc. utility, damage), is among the highest in adc

Hes saying pickrate going up does not mean mastery ratios go up? Question is who said it did

One question on Bans. If I have first pick say what im going to pick and then my own team bans it why should I take the ban for dodging because I then dont want to play with that person???

swain is feeling like shit again, low armor+no regen is is too much for his already weak early

how did you get into working with riot? Any tips for someone who does not have technicals skills (i.e software dev/engineering) but wants to work in the video game industry? Currently at big 4 accounting firm doing lots of PMO stuff but I couldnt give 2 craps about any of the work that I am doing :D

please fix kraken slayer 😟

Please rework Master Yi's E skill. The character is too weak. His E skill is too weak. Make it a passive skill that hits according to health.

why u killed warwick?

No one forgave you for the reksai rework

Phreak, are you guys planning on doing anything to Diana? She's cool in theory, (Q for wave control/jungle mobility, E to leapfrog off of minion or dive carries) but her ult is so easy to escape out of, and she also essentially does very little for her own defenses, and she even has mana problems. In my experience, she's merely a vessel that carries around good AP items, not a champ with a profoundly interesting kit for most players. One change I'd personally love to see is for her W to be a Morgana black shield that eats CC, just something at all that makes her feel less defenseless and naked if you aren't really far ahead.

"We have a finite number of artist" Yeah we know, Riot announced the layoffs

Make Lucian not reliant on enchanters anymore.

Not a huge fan of the % current hp damage on minions. Feel like it's odd to think of this as a way to "retain the feel" of last hitting, while introducing a system that adds a sense of inconsistency. Also makes a higher barrier of entry towards a calculated approach that isn't very interesting. Small enough percentages that it probably won't be a big deal though, but factors of inconsistency on a systems level generally feel bad imo (unless the inconsistency itself is the appeal of the system, i.e. randomness of dragons leading to a fulfilling factor of adaptability)

Pheak go play a game of Tryndamere my champ is still a minion when someone buys a single armor item, I need a 3k gold item to counter Ninja Tabi

Bro. You hate that ashe's passive punishes her? Wild. Master Yi's Q passive punishes him for building items. Its really annoying. Makes 60% of AD / tank items unusable on him. Really fucking annoying. (For those of you who don't know master yi's q passive inversely scales with ability haste slowly taking away his passive as he gets more ability haste. JUST MAKE HIS Q UNAFFECTED BY ABILITY HASTE PULHEASHE)

Can we address rylai please this item is so unfun to play against. Remember when serylda was super annoying and unfun to play against, it got a simple fix of making the slow only work when target is 50% hp or under. Please do the same for rylai and compensate buff the item

what are the chances of getting Yuntal to drop the BF sword? i thought we agreed that BF sword was a terrible first item component. the item still isn’t really used by any ADCs mainstream. it’s so close to being good but it’s so so hard to reliably build making it incredibly frustrating

OK genuine idea for fixing turrets. I also hate how turrets have these arbitrary rules attached to them like more armor early, more armor top/mid, more armor while no minions are there etc. So we remove all that and we give everyone a new type of runepage that gives you the ability to buff a turret. Something like you start with an item that you can use on a turret and you can modify what it does. For example it can give the turret more armor or maybe the turret clears waves faster and you get a bit of the gold the turret last hits. What will jungle and supports do then? As with runes there will probably be like an offensive tree, a defensive tree and a utility tree so supports can get defensive or utility tree and buff a tower a second time. I feel like that can force some interesting map positions in pro play where you leave the laneswapping tech to the teams but you also give them the tools to deal with it. Then maybe in the utility tree or a separate tree you can have some node (for junglers)that says your item instead summons a tower for 10 seconds not in a lane and on your side of the map so it can help when you're being invaded or during an objective.
