Vi coming "soon" and Diana post nerfs.

Posted on at 7:13 PM by Moobeat
While I don't come  baring the good news that Vi is ready, I do have a few posts about when we might expect her to make an appearance.
Continue reading for a status update on when Vi is being released and a quip about how Diana is fairing after her recent slew of nerfs.

Where is Vi?!
Gypsylord gave a small update on Vi's whereabouts, saying:
"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)."
Which lead Morello to step in and clarified:
"Clarification; tonight is unlikely, this week is the goal "
Elaborating further, he continued:
"There's more in the patch than Vi, and testing it 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'

How Diana is recovering from the nerf bat.
While we've already heard a little about what's in store for Rengar, there hasn't been too much about Diana post the massive set of nerfs last patch. Here is Morello dropping a bullet point on where she stands:
"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."

  2. Overnerfed? I really think they simply gimped her early game to stop ever so little from snowballing hard mid-late game.

  6. i didnt though diana was strong at all (of course is strong but is not OMFG OP SHIT MUST DELETE) not even when she was just realized, and i dont own diana before any of u say "its because u must play her and dont notice how overpowered she is"

    ReplyDelete
  7. Had recently few games - 5 mans with friends and in two of them Diana stomped us hard after getting some assistance from jungler to get ahead.

    ReplyDelete
  8. nice, u fed diana, that makes her overpowered?

    1. You didn't have to feed her, she had enough burst to build tanky, her ult was free most of the times so she could use it twice on one person if needed. Her ult damage was quite high and instant making her able to take the last hits on kills, basically feeding herself. I've seen it happen enough, same goes for Akali and Darius-like champions. Not overpowered but they can feed themselves by KS-ing. Though I do not think her whole kit was OP, I do believe her w needed some nerfing. And her ult deserved some range reduction.

    ReplyDelete
  17. When are they putting out the tier 3 upgrade on victor's augment

    ReplyDelete
  18. Honestly I don't think she was too overnerfed, I played her and barely noticed any difference besides from the orbs aoe range.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Rengar... I really like that guy

    ReplyDelete
  20. Just from that response I know you play Diana. No way does anyone with no biased towards a champ is gonna defend her like that. How do you know she got fed, instead of her just owning? Bc she is OP? A champ doesnt have to be fed to be OP. It their kit, playstyle etc, that synergizes together, along with high base damage and good ratios on her abilities that make that champ OP. So right, a fed champ DOESNT make a champ OP. It's the other things that also comes into play that makes them OP. All the Diana players and everyone else for that matters knew she was OP. So stop acting like you are this neutral player commenting on her saying "Derp herp, dianna iznt OP u guise r jut baddiez, l2 couter lolnob". She did get OVERnerfed, but a nerf was needed. But for you to act like you dont play Diana and you are saying she WASN'T OP?!?! HAHA. a ASSASSIN, able to build REALLY tanky, along with doing AMAZING damage and utility.... HAHAHAHAHA. Yea she wasnt OP. Link to Lolking profile or add me in game or I dont believe you DONT own her. rofl. You probably play her only.

  21. she wasnt overnerfed..shes fine

    ReplyDelete
  27. I honestly think Diana is still a bit powerful, granted, her early game has been drastically reduced, she can still snowball with two kills into an extremely powerful mid to late game.

    Rengar on the other hand. I feel he's still powerful. To be able to take three steps out of a bush, jump on a lee sin or something, then quarter health him with a q/q/heal (forgive me, I don't know what key it is) is a liiiiiiiiitle bit over powered. That's just me speaking. I don't mind if he kills me in 3 seconds flat and I'm like..Lux or Nami or something. But hey, RIOT logic. :D

    ReplyDelete
  28. Eventually.. my blades will find their way into your heart

    ReplyDelete
  29. I think all Rengar needs is a reduced duration on his w armor/mr buff and having it made consistent, his Q's damage needs to be buffed for sure but everything else about his kit is fine, maybe something like reducing the duration and time it takes to stealth but increasing movespeed? Instead of making Rengar this rape all champion or this tank with super high base damages and armor/mr buffs why not make him this Jax Assassin archtype who can look for the right time to go in, assassinate, have enough armor to survive, get out, repeat, it'll surely make him more fun and balanced, as in cc or any focus would obliterate him but at least he has that buff to make sure he stays alive, this'll also make sure he won't be too strong of a trader early game with those resistances, The heal nerf wasn't needed if they just nerfed the w in other parts to make the player have to choose between q ferocity or w

  33. Nothing is overpowered for me once I reach late game.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Don't fear, Vayne will slay all late game. If I can make it to that point...

  57. Don't worry, top lane Vayne with Sword of the Divine is an option (since your in every single freaking normal game). No buy seriously, try me out top lane and get Sword of the Divine first item. If you condemn them into a wall and land mine stun, activate my Final Hour and Sword of the Divine and watch them drop. Its quite fun, please try it out! Make sure to max Silver Bolts firs too!

    ReplyDelete
  58. A condemned Golem gathers no assists.

  72. Diana overnight went from 52% to 40% win percentage, how balanced.

    ReplyDelete
  73. that wasnt something they intended to put into the game
    they just played with the numbers to see how it affects his impact on the game
    it was just a test for a future upgrade on the augments, but they wont be anything like they where on PBE

    ReplyDelete
  74. Honestly, I personally find Diana was too strong. She had little which held her down, and dominated mid to late game. She is perfectly fine right now, people just cannot cope with changes being made to their favorite and most-picked overly strong champion, which is why they complain and whine about it.

    ReplyDelete
  75. well if we overlook that his post lacks grammatical sense here and there, i get what he is saying.
    Rengar posesses power on a level that should be obvious too high and nerfed drastically. but even though its so obvious they nerf him in weird ways, so he is still way too strong.
    thats what it sounds like to me.
    but i totally not agree with him...

    ReplyDelete
  76. Diana over nerfed ?? they gotta be joking.

  82. Let's end this quickly! *cough* I need to use the little soldier's room.

    ReplyDelete
  83. funny how riot never seems to grasp that the stats arent what they need to nerf or buff on champions, but their dual roles are.

    If a champ is a assasin, dont also make it a tank.

    if a champ is a support, dont also give it the ratios to be a apc.

    etc etc.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Totally agree. It was funny at first but now it's getting kind of lame.

    ReplyDelete
  85. I don't always jungle, but when I do. Tons of DMG.

    ReplyDelete
  86. And what about Zyra? She was nerfed pretty hard too.

    ReplyDelete
  87. seems that everytime you go to check comments on this page you just get a bunch of random quotes instead of actual inputs......

    ReplyDelete
  88. why don't they just give me full sword and my ult make it more powerful -.-

    ReplyDelete
  97. I could help you nerf that better.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Well Win ratios aren't based on how good a champ is but how well people are playing that champion, if you're used to playing an overpowered champion i assure you that you'll make more mistakes initially when that champion is no longer stompingly overpowered.

    Any source? Giving a hint and not telling where you got the information is quite offensive you know?

    ReplyDelete
  116. lol, first u say im talking bullshit because "I play diana only" and now u say i was wrong because i said diana is not overpowered just because u fed her and btw yes, if u are 0kills and she has 2, obiously should be able to wreck you like any other champ (besides support obiously and ONLY if they are playing the support role) hipocresy is strong with this one, btw how could i even know how many kills she had? u told she got assistance in the jungle (i interpreted she was 0/0/5 or 2/0/2, something like that) instead of telling me "you clearly lost" think what are you telling, instead of saying "Diana is overpowered needs more nerfs" tell yourself what mistake u did that she got fed? or that she beat u because of this?

    ReplyDelete
  117. ...are truly, truly, truly outrageous.

    ReplyDelete
  118. he fixed it anyways, my comment was the first though, many ppl may think im wrong saying that

    ReplyDelete
  119. rengar has to build very squishy if he want to do this now, why? because they nerfed the damage of his Q and the damage of his bonetooth(bonetooth i almost useless now besides the stacks :/) i do play rengar for the guy that though i play "diana only" when i dont even own diana, im telling u rengar may hit hard still, but if he builds to 3shots ad carry/support/ap carry, he wont be tanky, a good team will just focus him down and its done

    ReplyDelete
  120. Yup, that tasted purple!

    ReplyDelete
  121. I'm expecting big buff ^^

    ReplyDelete
  122. Ifeel that they are pumping out characters too fast and not revamping the onld ones as much. The balance of power on some champs is well....... Truly, truly outrageous

    ReplyDelete
  123. I can't believe Moobeat is not doing anything about this. Drugnut started with his Taric RP now we got pages of idiots randomly RPing quotes and new ones getting drama'd by those who came first.
