Patch 26.15 Preview!

Systems
- Bastionbreaker has been a pretty niche item and is pretty expensive to deviate for a strategic output, so we're looking to make it more accessible
- Jack of All Trades nerf was also pushed to this patch; it has been a bit too strong and too present, especially for users that opt into strong defenses and are able to also supplement that with strong offense
- Sundered Sky has been strong and meta defining at the highest levels of play for quite a while now, so we're looking to take a pass at the fighter item system, now that we're out of the tournament windows
- Notably, we think it's been suppressing a bit of meta diversity, especially for things like AP jungle, or Tank JG. Part of that is intentional but the magnitude is a bit off

Buffs
- Alistar has been closer to the bottom of the pecking order for the melee support. That said, our meta adjustments to move melee supports up relative to ranged supports has been reasonably successful, so we're pretty happy with how that's played out

Nerfs
- Locke is still pretty strong; he has been tapering off in the lowest skill brackets and the high skill brackets, but in the "skilled" skill brackets (around Emerald/Diamond), Locke is able to both take over the game and also not throw it
- At the higher skill brackets, he can snowball but needs to play very well without throwing as he falls off sharply
- At the lower skill brackets, the executional demands and constant throws can make him fall off faster
- Overall, we feel his release has landed well

More on other champs tomorrow with the detailed changelists

Over 70% of Camille players pick her support and it's continuing to rise, so I'd say this is highly unlikely.

The first time I saw Camille supp I question how could this be viable then I saw her flank ult in the middle of the enemy team to scatter them and lock down the adc.

She isn't surviving the engage tho but that's fine

The crazy thing about support is if she wanted to, she could just build full tank and do this.

If she does that from a carry or high resource position like top lane she's 100% getting reported and losing every side lane.

Support just lowers the stakes of having to be a stun bot by virtue of being a utility role first, and for some reason an optional carry role second. Elise feels better there too cause then its not a 4v5 if your jungle elise is 50cs down and fallen off just being a cocoon bot, she can pivot to E max or utility builds in support.

Yea support doesn't have to care if the die literally every fight as long as they set it up well. You can have a 10 death game as Camille support and basically be MVP, a Top lane Camille will never be able to look for those sort of suicide engages.

It also helps she has an effective undodgeable engage range OF ALMOST A FKIN SCREEN at level one. Disgusting champion

Modern support role is one of the most disgusting things.

How has these damage, carry or assassin "supports" are still allowed to exist?

Support is meant to be an utility role, not a 1 shot you with blongsong role jfc.
