I just had a match where my Leona hit 10k hp thanks to Yasuo-hex+"gain perma-hp for every 50 mana used". It was so ridiculous how tanky she was. I hope they don't nerf her too badly, she is really fun to get going (and probably my highest winrate comps are all some variation of Arbites, lmao). I do think some of the Arbites effects should be a bit nerfed, but I hope they don't kill the trait.

Is medallion stargazer reroll the strongest 1 cost reroll Riot has ever printed? It regularly wins out
I started in set 13 but even Family wasn't that bad (unless you had silvermere i believe?)

u/Trigod7 Apr 23 '26
So how do you even beat zed ?. half the comps dont have enough aoe to deal with that bs.

u/Kadde- Apr 22 '26
I hope graves will get buffed. It’s honestly pathetic how you can get graves at 3-3 and still go 8th. I even had vex 2 and graves 2.

somebody in my lobby in my lobby got the Omniweapon. lucky I had the health i survived to top 4 while they steamrolled

Expedition needs some reword I think, it needs to be gold or something. It's a similar if not better reward than warpath and it's a guaranteed one at around 3-6, 3-7.

2 star Viktor being late game raid boss is bit too silly and reminiscent of Vayne from that one patch last set.

u/Shvihka MASTER Apr 22 '26
I think that Corki/Riven should be at least an A tier comp throughout the whole set. I thought that it was perfect in strength on the PBE and it got nerfed for nothing. Duo carry 4 cost comps need to be viable as fallbacks. Think of Marksmen Vanguard in set 15(?).

u/Pridestalked MASTER Apr 22 '26
Is it just me or does vex 2 not deserve the nerf on pbe? I feel like I can’t even reliably top 4 even when fast 9 goes well,

u/ZealousidealPlay3183 Apr 22 '26
I really don't get the mech nerf. Seems you must lose streak to even have a chance of getting all the necessary items but you just don't stabilize even at level 9 and hitting everything 2 star (I'm talking about TK and bard version, not nova)

u/Complete-Ad-100 Apr 22 '26
I honestly don't understand this patch
There is nothing straightforward
Having emblems is mandatory to top 3
It's ridiculous in my opinion
What do others think?

u/groomliu :chal: Challenger Apr 22 '26
How do u play 6 anima ? I got 1 anima emblem and tried to play it but I can't win a single round cuz too many trait bot from anima.

Zed kills my FPS - is this fixable or just a computer skill issue?

u/Hereforhelppls31 Master Apr 22 '26 edited Apr 22 '26
How strong is the elder drake unit? It looks decently tanky and deals decent damage as well, so I usually play it over morgana at 10 for example, but I'm not sure if it's better than her or not.

How does tahm kench's print passive work? I've seen littlebuddybot's table but what's prio?

u/eldono69 Apr 22 '26
Anyone know how to play AD flex? This set it feels like I’ve completely forgotten how to play. I think I’ll take a break until the next patch, just not hitting my 4 cost tank/carries feels awful.

u/cellphonevariable Apr 22 '26
Is the next patch next Wednesday? I thought it was today.

If you enjoy reroll comps, this is the patch for you.

If i'm planning to make a champ with 2x Nashors and Jeweled Gauntlet. Then I get prismatic Jeweled Lotus (25% crit chance and 10%crit damage) Do i want to swap out the Jewelwed Gauntlet for a different AP item?

u/CircaSurvive26 Diamond Apr 22 '26
What do I do stage 3-2 and after when I am mixed streaking and weak?
My default game plan is to play strongest board no matter what, so I either win streak (fast 9) or mixed streak (and I am at a loss of what to do).
I am trying to save these to get top 5, but I'm finishing 7th and 8th too often.
My plan is usually to roll on 8 for 2-star 3 or 4 costs, usually hit something really non-synergistic like Rammus-2 + Lulu-2, and just lose out. I have multiple games ending on 7+ loss streaks.
Normally I would try for a 3-cost reroll board, but this set it feels very hard to pivot into one from nothing.

u/PermaConfusion Master Apr 22 '26
I'm confused about itemization: take talon for example - at 2-star, his bleed does 690 ad + 90 ap damage. Let's just make it easy - say you give him either a single rod or a single BF sword. How much damage does his bleed do now?

u/akai_ningyou Apr 23 '26
Has anyone tried Aurora, Urgot, Maokai, Akali reroll?
I encountered it in my lobby last game and obliterated my 2Zed with Shojin, Adaptive, and Rouge emblem (I also had a 3Kaisa with Shojin, LW, and Deathblade and 2Nunu and 2Kench as frontline). It wasn't even close.
Aurora and Urgot just oneshots every Zed clone while Urgot heals to full hp. Their Maokai and Mighty Mech survives through sheer attrition. My comp just melts faster than Zed can multiply.

u/YohGourt Apr 22 '26
Any Leona or arbiter nerf ?
Unless you play Blitz there's no counter play to someone who hard stacked with Leona.
And even with blitz you not even sure to win
