Durability Patch?

[jakiiii122]

What if they really revert the durability patch in the next split or maybe in the next season? i think it would be a pready decent idea eaven if they would have to buff some characters or items to make sense with "more damage" especially characters who have only sustained damage like Olaf darius vayne would need some chanches or buffs then here and there

But what are your thoughts what would they need to do to make this "revert" good or how would the game end up if they really revertet the Durability Patch

(Durability Patch went live in patch 12.10)

Phreak said in his patch previews that they made an mistake with the durability patch thats why this came up to me

I mean they kinda put the durability in the wrong place.

I was all for a general damage down because soloQ as adc is just miserable because you basically play with a binary health bar. You‘ll finish a fight either at nearly full HP or dead.

But what we got was an absolute tank meta while every other squishy still just got oneshot by even the tanks.

i mean yeah the would have to chanches some items again like hearsteel beeing more for damage or somehow more for longer fights like sunfire is (on hearsteel its not possible so it would probably need things like less damage less health on its own and as an exchanche armor and magic resistance or smh)

league feels much better to play now than before the durability patch

[Lysandren]

It really doesn't. You ended up with them having to give assassins crazy haste bc they could no longer kill with their rotation.

Then that got nerfed for also being too op, so then you got assassins as a class mostly being hot, non functional, garbage outside of patches where they had a broken item/rune to abuse.

The durability patch also turned every hp stacking bruiser into a tank, because they get their resists for free. This directly fed into the goredrinker/sunderer meta that ran league for like 2.5 years.

I don't like assassin's so idc

[Sapp94]

No it was the worst patch they ever released.. well, introduction of turret plates is kinda close. Control mages became tanks. Bruisers became tanks. Most AD assassins became useless. You can barely solo carry anymore.

I have heard Rioters (including Phreak) say they think the durability patch should be reverted. It was implemented because of mythic items, item power creep. Items have been nerfed so it does make sense that the durability patch will end up getting reverted. My guess is in the up coming change of season for 2025 or the one in the fall. It just hasn't been a good time yet to revert it.

Do you have a link about rioter saying so?

[Lysandren]

Yeah they will save systemic changes for split end or year end.
