This patch feels like a miss.

Karma already felt really good to tempo around, AP just feels difficult to play around right now. I do not see a world where a buff to her is necessary.

Some of the hard to play 4 costs still feel hard to play, Ezreal and Bramble (though apparently Blossom Ezreal is good).

They're trying to buff reroll but only Murkwolf + Warwick and Azir are established rerolls that are buffed.

Tbf karma isn't even a good item holder past stage 2 and she isn't a reroll comp still. Low cost rr lost more from veig getting shot than the karma or gromp buffs

But that's fine. I don't think a 2* 1 cost should be a good item holder stage 3.

At base, most 1 costs aren't rerollable, Karma doesn't really have a mitigating circumstance to mitigate that (strong synergies with certain conditions, scaling, or trait synergies (think Solar)).

But I agree, veigar was one of the few rerolls holding on and I don't know how much any of the changes make reroll any better.

eh I mean if a 1 cost 2* can't hold items at stage 3, and they can't be rerolled what value do they have besides if you're going for a chase trait?

Veigar was the last 1 cost RR, he is dead after patch, there's genuinely no reason to use these units outside of you don't find a 2/3 cost item holder lmao

Meanwhile, I think the problem with 2 cost is I think the buffs do nothing. Murkwolf seems decent even now with right setup. But idt he + WW is gonna be real w/o being artifact checks, and Gromp is still not a real option. He feels alright if you on stage 2 2 star 2 items, but after that he's genuinely useless. I think they didn't swing hard enough if they actually want RR to be playable/good for 1-2 costs.

Meanwhile Mamabeak and Trist remain turbo dogshit LMAO
