ULTY analysis

Doran's Helm tuned down as junglers and marksmen get buffs

This patch targets bot lane and top lane dominance, with nerfs to Brand, Senna, Sion, Rumble and K'Sante, and tightens Doran's Helm. Buffs go to Aphelios, Draven and Kai'Sa for marksmen, and to Olaf, Poppy and Qiyana for the jungle. Expect more marksman variety and jungle picks, while early bot lane and top lane power drops.

Trends

  1. 01

    Marksmen get a lift

    Aphelios, Draven and Kai'Sa all gain damage or utility, while Senna loses some power. That should open up the ADC pool again.

  2. 02

    Jungle diversity push

    Olaf, Poppy and Qiyana receive clear-speed buffs. Rek'Sai is nerfed at the top end, making room for more tank and assassin junglers.

  3. 03

    Early lane power trimmed

    Brand, Sion, Rumble, K'Sante and the Doran's Helm change all reduce early reliability, so lanes may be less snowbally, though scaling is largely unchanged.

    Nerf

    Armor and magic resist drop from 10 to 8 while health rises by 10. Early lane resistances are lower, which should trim champions like K'Sante and Senna who exploit the item.

    Buff

    The recipe is cheaper to assemble from Amp Tomes, which makes it easier to buy as support. Higher immobilize AH and 7% Vulnerable make up for 5 less AP, a modest buff.
