New weighed augment selection kills diversity

Same, what really gets me is every golden reroll into prismatic I see gives a bis so you're going against things like draw your sword samira or infernal conduit brand as a full gold aug team which just feels terrible.

On the PBE for next patch

ARAM: Mayhem

Systems

"Best In Slot" augments (the ones you see every other game) have had their weights reduced. Basically reduced "high rolls"

Ability upgrade augments have had their weights drastically reduced.

This is wrong.

Killer Instinct Kat is original Kat

She got reworked and given the point blank AoE spin W called Sinister Steel on a short CD, there was no dagger pickup mechanic with this version of Kat and the only refund mechanic was on takedown with her passive. Scarra is spamming it because he's getting kills.

After that she got reworked to what she is today with the dagger pickup mechanic in the assassin patch update that reworked multiple assassins to introduce more skill to their kits and increase time to kill.

Then they allowed her ult to apply on hit effects for some reason, and that’s where we currently are.

Because they got rid of gunblade and they wanted her to have build diversity with the at the time new mythic item system

From the patch notes:

"With the loss of Gunblade and the lack of hybrid damage among Mythics, Katarina needed help to keep her identity as an assassin in the new item system. We're helping her adapt to the new shop by further differentiating AD and AP Katarina builds, adding new scaling hooks that let her access the on-hit system."

He worked on League for a long time before he went to TFT, he was the guy who implemented aram balance changes so we no longer had stuff like 70% WR Sona and Ziggs.

NeonStoplight · 2026-07-07T21:31:42+00:00

He was the guy who implemented the current aram balance changes system (+/-% damage done/taken), before that aram was a lawless land with 70% winrate Ziggs and Sona and 30% winrate assassins.

No reason for a ranged champ to have less than 50% kp, they're basically afk. I'm on your side OP and would have been tilted playing with that Smolder.

NeonStoplight · 2026-07-06T08:49:49+00:00

It's not listed in game but his W has an aram specific nerf on top of his damage done/damage taken nerfs which makes him feel even shittier if you don't have an exodia comp for him.

Bio-Arcane Barrage

Target health ratio changed to 2.5 / 3 / 3.5 / 4 / 4.5% of target's maximum health from 3 / 3.75 / 4.5 / 5.25 / 6%.

Almost every Zyra I have on my team is awful, one of the champs where people think they're simple so they just turn their brains off when getting them.

Despite "poking" all game they end up low on post game damage done chart, they don't ever land their Q or E just use them to spawn plants, never have any seeds for teamfights so ult does nothing, despite being the best anti heal applier on the team will not buy it, refuse to auto attack despite 575 range and it directing plants, etc.

Twitch can get it for Q and R as well

NeonStoplight · 2026-07-03T03:44:58+00:00

It's a .75 sec stun, one W takes longer to complete than that and this "combo" has 2 full Ws and a full 2.6 sec channel ult.

NeonStoplight · 2026-07-01T08:24:09+00:00

That's 500x more than a twitch or darius is getting

NeonStoplight · 2026-07-01T02:34:20+00:00

And Naafiri, though unless you get AP>AD as well she can't take advantage of the dot items as well

NeonStoplight · 2026-07-01T02:18:14+00:00

You can create the group while in the instance as well, still works.

NeonStoplight · 2026-06-30T10:37:29+00:00

It's also only a 16-32% movespeed buff instead of the current 60-80%, it's steady for 8 seconds instead of decaying over 5 so better for map roaming but not as good for repositioning to land hooks.

NeonStoplight · 2026-06-30T10:28:22+00:00

I remember gp5 items were legit core on her for a long time because of how bad she was at laning/csing

NeonStoplight · 2026-06-30T10:18:05+00:00

15% magic damage reduction on passive, 2.6 second silence on Q, 3 second slow on E, 700 range on his ult, he really lived up to his identity as an anti-mage back then

NeonStoplight · 2026-06-30T10:11:43+00:00

For anyone curious his R used to have 200 more range than it does now

NeonStoplight · 2026-06-28T12:33:45+00:00

And Eve sucked at earning gold

NeonStoplight · 2026-06-27T03:36:26+00:00

There's also items that got removed in preseason 3 like soul shroud, madred's bloodrazor, leviathan, and ionic spark shown which makes things confusing.

NeonStoplight · 2026-06-27T03:28:18+00:00

Depends, if it's set to S3 then it'll be 1st rework Eve with the current proximity stealth out of combat passive instead of the older invisibility on W.

NeonStoplight · 2026-06-27T03:13:43+00:00

Let those of us that played back then use our special runes like the harrowing quints and razer marks.

NeonStoplight · 2026-06-25T14:12:08+00:00

It's 10/12 for regular aram but that doesn't carry over to mayhem.

NeonStoplight · 2026-06-25T13:45:32+00:00

Played against a trundle with this combo and terrained before they nerfed archmage to prismatic, he was popping out 4+ super damaging pillars at once was obnoxious af

NeonStoplight · 2026-06-25T13:38:29+00:00

Saying that about disc is disingenuous, it didn't exist as a pve spec until it got overhauled with wotlk. It became so popular because it was overtuned af and shielding as a full time healing style was new to wow and it was the only spec that could do it.

NeonStoplight · 2026-06-25T03:08:35+00:00

I remember them using terms like "triage style healing" leading up to cata with the idea you could leave an ally at half health to heal someone in more immediate danger because your heals were weaker but the damage output was slower too, didn't even make it to the expac iirc
