Patch 26.17 Preview

Patch 26.17 preview summary

Every Summoner's Rift champion in this patch so far, whether the change has landed on the test server or Riot has only announced it.

Where Riot has published a label we use theirs. Otherwise a champion counts as buffed or nerfed only when every value we can measure points the same way, and anything mixed, newly added or reformulated counts as adjusted.

What Riot says they’re doing

This patch is mostly a stabilization patch after observing the adjustments made on 26.16.

Mages bot overall have lost some amount of winrate across the board, but not a huge amount, which is roughly about the impact we're looking for.

So far, we're seeing good skews on Poppy and Camille support with support nerfed and Top skews playing out well (in particular).

We're still monitoring the impact of Hail of Blades on champions more broadly, eg. Yi, Trynd, Shaco, etc. Stormrazor"
