The News Roundup: Diana to be Buffed, Karma Rework Not Till January, Vi Aimed For This Week, Massive Legacy Skin Sale, and More

RoG Article Recap


 Diana to be Buffed After the Holidays

It looks like Rengar is not the only champion to get a buff soon!

Statikk might be posting more, but let me update on the details that are concerning in a TLDR sense;

Diana: We overnerfed here, agreed. Will fix next patch.

Rengar: We need to tear him down a bit to build him back up - someone earlier in this thread mentioned that he has too many things to be both balanced and fun, and that's the same problem we detect. There will be additional changes next patch.

Can you tell me when the next patch will be out where you will fix Diana's overnerfed character?
Not until after the holidays, sad to say.


Karma Rework Not Till January

RiotGuinsoo hit twitter saying we won't be seeing the Karma rework till at least January

Karma won't be ready for Christmas :( But we hope to have her ready for January. Don't treat that as a promise, just what we're hoping for


 Vi Aimed to be Released This Week

Though nothing is set in stone, Riot really wants to get Vi on live servers this week!

We want Vi to break faces but we DON'T want her to break the game. Still sorting out a few issues. We're working hard to get her to you guys some time this week (hoping for sooner rather than later).

Clarification; tonight is unlikely, this week is the goal 

There's more in the patch than Vi, and testing ti doesn't magically make it fixed. The release process is very detailed and complex, and you know what happens if we mess that up :P


 Opening the Legacy Skin Vault



We’re excited to announce a very special event this Snowdown. This holiday season we’ll be cracking open the Legacy Skins Vault and un-retiring 42 of your old favorites for a limited time. These Legacy Skins will be available in the League of Legends store at a cheer-inducing 50% off from now until January 6. And remember, holiday gifting is available through December 26, so if you were looking for a particularly sentimental gift for that special summoner in your life, Legacy Skins carry an extra bit of novelty.

After the sale these skins will be going back on ice for the foreseeable future, so don’t miss this chance to add some vintage flavor to your roster. When will they return? Nobody knows – that’s the point of a Legacy Skin!

Head on over to the store to check out these Legacy Skins before they go back into the vault on January 6. There are a lot of them, so we’ve taken the liberty of listing them in alphabetical order below:

    Overnerfed Diana? Hm well she isn't that dangerous anymore, thats true, but she is stil viable. I always had the feeling she just needed 2 Dorans Rings and the Lane was won. Now she actually needs a Deathcap to keep up. So when she get buffed again will 2 Dorans Rings win the Lane again? I hope not. But we will see.

    Riot should also fix Urgot.

  • #3 monkyyy

    the karma rework has been planed since before i started playing, urgot didnt get overnerfed till this year, much less have the "WHY DO MY TEAMMATES DODGE MY HEAL/BRAKE MY SPEED CHAIN/FLASH OUT OF MY SHIELD RANGE" problem karma has(unless people assume they should run towards the guy ur ulting, but that seems unlikely (i can see 4 people all flashing over a wall after u start ulting the guy, but only once a game)

    Ok great that they admited theire mistakes of overnerfing Diana and Rengar...but what about Teemo.

    Seriously start of Season3 is the first time in AGES he actually was viable again, he still had a VERY bad early game and was balanced, now he IS overnerfed again and NOONE will play him, i love teemo but everytime i pick him i get ZOMG TROLL spams on me, was so wounderfull start of season3 that Teemo was viable, the nerfs on mushrooms was way to big

    Teemo has bad early game? Are we playing same game? He saw always known for being a dick in lane and people generally hate him because how annoing he is (he is lane equivalent of Shaco and his only goal is to make his opponet sad inside).

    So what got nerfed reduced ratio on poison by 0,1 and shrooms? Well you now have Hurricane so you can flush that crap at three people at a time, huge nerf (not mentioning taht MR is generally harder to get). I dunno, maybe you haven´t noticed but oracle now latst for 5 mintes and then expires, your shrooms cost only mana so it´s harder to clear them in SQ. You have i mentioned you also have fucking LIANDRAS TORMENT that works both with oyur shrooms and poison? When Grail came out, Galio was instantly nerfed, cause Riot realied every one with half a brain will buy it on him and it just synergizes way too well, this is same deal. Ou one more thing junglers don´t start with boots (+ nerf MS on most items) means it´s even harder to gank and catch the bastard. I hate having Teemo on team because appart his lane he contributes very little to the acuall game and turns into goblin that just randomly plants shrooms around the map or never leaves his lane, unless he´s fed he contributes little to teamfights except his global taunt. Unfortunetly those two items i mentioned still made him better (i am Teemo hater and i believe he should not exist at all in any form appart Phantom Zone maybe) because (above) people are dumb any every time some champ gets nerfed he is suddenly useless (remmeber that nerf to Jax´ Q Riot reverted?).

    No. Teemo, thanks to LT, is strong and better thanin S2, even with the nerf. He can ruin the life of ADC and APC with only 2 mushrooms. And ruin their life from a distance, IMO, is huge. 

  • #7 K0stra

    LoL Logic: something got nerfed- immedietly start crying "he is useless now" without acually thinking or trying it out.

     

  • #8 SiameseCookie

    remember when his poison had 0.14 AP on-hit? That was a weak state and now he's still doing twice as much damage with every auto. Plus Malady, plus Spellblade mastery, plus Liandry's... So yeah, he was nerfed to the ground again...

    Yours sincerely, the next Einstein.
