League of Legends

Here is the ultimate thread of answers with a powerlevel of over nine thousand.

1. Pantheon?

So the plan last patch was to fix the bugs in HSS but maintain his current power level on live. I honestly do not think he's overpowered, but I feel like he does have a high alpha that crushes non-organized players*. There are plans to rework pantheon and to shift more statistics towards some late game survivability and spear shot, and to lower but maintain the high alpha on HSS. HSS is intended to be his primary source of damage.

2. Ezreal?

I think the problem with him currently is that he's too survivable considering his high range amount. Rather than nerfing his Q damage, the plan is to reduce the range on it slightly (approx 10%) and increase the cooldown on his shift by about 20-25%.

3. Shen?

I think he's close to ok now. The plan is to make W a little stronger and to maybe reduce the taunt duration on his dash.

4. Why did volley get buffed?

Hmm... that was a mistake. The bonus damage that was added is getting removed and there might be a slight range nerf on volley.

5. Why does Kassadin's W suck so bad?

It's getting an active.

6. What happened to Evelynn?

She's getting her ultimate completely remade. I have no ETA on when it will be done. The current plan is for a CC/Survivability move that doesn't add too much to her damage (sorta in the direction of the Master Yi rework).

7. Whats happening to Janna?

Just a slight scaling CD increase to howling gale (it meets at the original CD of 10 at max rank), and lower base heal amounts at rank 2/3 monsoon.

8. When is Season 1 coming out?

Sometime later.

9. What is this suppression thing everyone is talking about?

Malzahar is no longer going to stun with his ult. He's going to have a new type of debuff called Suppression. What suppression does is makes you unable to move, attack, cast and also locks your summoner spells from being cast for the duration. However, Quicksilver Sash will still prevent it. It will also be unmitigated by Mercury's treads as it is a debuff type not covered by it. Warwick might also get suppression on his ult, but we might reduce the duration or nerf him in another way to compensate.

10. Veigar?

I'll look into it... I'm not sure yet. But it's definitely being looked into right now.

11. Kayle?

The current plan is to make her ultimate more tactical with a lower cooldown (max out at 60?) but lower duration (around 3 seconds). This should add more precision timing to increase the skill ceiling of optimal usage, as well as help alleviate edge cases like Twitch-Kayle. With the current 5 second implementation, it's really not possible to CC a unit 5 seconds, but 3 seconds is a little bit more reasonable to lock down twitch (even with cleanse) during this time.

12. Katarina

She is fine. That is all.

Anyway thats all I have for now.

13. Heimerdinger?

He's getting some changes...
