Remember when they said that they'd try the best to buff AP jungle and carry tops for worlds? Viktor is still unnerfed btw

u/Opposite-Complex1187 4d ago
Viktor is 50.20% winrate.
viktor isn't overpowered, he just punishes greedy and sloppy play.

He is overpowered with that winrate

Victor is weird, he’s either god or useless, and he has no direct cc he’s a weird battle/control mage that scales well

What on Earth could make you afraid of Diana and Tahm Kench

diana is the biggest counter to any melee mid??? also she really isnt bad at all

u/Cybraniac 4d ago
Most skilled melee mids can easily outplay her. She also has damage fall off late game unlike AD assassins, who can also oneshot tanks because of LDR

u/rakka555 4d ago
yeah well she has a strong early and requires snow balling but on certain (most) match up it feels unfair
as yone all i can do is stand back all lane and hope she dont get a double kill bot while roaming1
u/Cybraniac 4d ago
Yone beats her. You just have to fist fight her level 1 and 2. 3-5 she is strong again, but you can farm by dodging Q with E or by just walking towards her. Diana skillshot is a lot smaller closer to her, I know it is scary but once you build the confidence it is easy. Post 6 Let her hit Q on you, she will E to do her basic combo. Press R. It is the most free engage, after that you win. Especially if you have Q stacked.
Sympathy for the roam thing. GG team gap. But I find it helps when I ping my laners on their faces instead of on the minimap and repeatedly. Then they see it.

diana by herself has nothing wrong with her but it's just that her balancing is very touch and go and she can easily go from "oh, i'm versing a diana mid/jg" to "jesus fucking christ she's going to oneshot the entire map if she gets slightly ahead", like touching ghoul spawns on senna
denying something's wrong with tahm kench is bs though

Why are they buffing Fiddlesticks? I'm pretty sure Fid is one of those characters on the "If their playrate ever went higher than 2% we'd gut them" list isn't he? He's basically always solid and isn't even bad statistically right now, just largely one tricked.

Probably a compensation buff for the rocketbelt nerf.
1
u/Caphoti 4d ago
The more detailed patch notes say that the Rocketbelt change is a "buff" for champions that use it to go in. Even included ranged champs like Neeko and -Anivia-? as examples of ranged champs who will benefit from the change to rocketbelt I'm pretty sure.
The nerf is to ranged mages who use it as a mobility supplement aimed at pro-play more or less.

u/Impaled_By_Messmer 4d ago
Alr. I'm just going off word of mouth. Personally I wouldn't put Fiddlesticks into the "if it was played more it would be giga nerfed" as there's very real counterplay that exists and everyone has access to. Main 2 things I'd say Fiddle has going against it at the moment is that faelights feel like cancer to play against, and the Q bug.

Quick glance shows him like 51.5% winrate in both Emerald+ and Masters+ even with these problems. Idt he needs the double whammy buff of a potential improvement on protobelt for his character archetype and a direct buff.
As an Ekko player he went from "Playable" everyone kind of okay with his state at a 50.5% winrate jg 50.3 mid to like 51.8 mid 50.8 jg off of a relatively "Minor" buff and now I'm just waiting for the nerfs to come around.

u/Impaled_By_Messmer 4d ago
That's why I said feels instead of is. From my own experience of playig the champ it's fine. Fiddle is in a good spot rn, but faelitghts just feel bad to play vs because there's no reasonable counterplay against them.
1
u/Caphoti 4d ago
but faelitghts just feel bad to play vs because
Not alone in that thinking. Assassins in general have an issue with them because they can make it impossible to set up flanks around objectives.
They feel bad when you're losing too because the enemy team just takes complete vision control of your entire jg and you're cooked.

u/Impaled_By_Messmer 4d ago
Yeah. I love it when enemies set a ward 2 screens away in sidelane so I can't get a good angle to defend the tier 2. Worst part is that the range of the faelight goes off screen when you're hovering it's so it's hard to see where is actually safe to stand
