"Full 13.22 preview
Mage Attack Speed: We’re looking at varying approaches for different champions based on whether they already have a good attack frame, how much we want them to be attacking, etc.
We know this may put some champions a bit over balance wise, but we want to assess how impactful this change in and then scale back where necessary (probably in the early game area)
Briar: Briar changes are targeted at reducing how potent Briar is in lower skill brackets and secondarily, targeted at reducing the effectiveness of some of the lethality builds that have been picking up recently. We would like Briar builds to be still fighter oriented.
Graves: Graves is a bit too durable overall and especially in the early game. We like that he’s a good duelist, but he is winning these statchecks early a bit too often.
Kassadin: Overall, Kassadin benefited from longer, less snowbally games, we’re taking some of his more Elite skewed spells down a tad.
Nilah: Large cooldowns like R tend to be better utilized by normal players who also tend to stand in the ability more for longer. We’re reducing the total impact of this ability that intends to make her weaker in normal play, without impacting higher levels of play as much
Senna: Senna gained a bunch from the longer, less snowbally games and her Q usages and output are used significantly better by higher skill players. We’re taking some power away from this while still making sure the ability remains satisfying.
Ziggs: Ziggs is too strong everywhere, but stronger in bot than mid. We’re targeting an armor nerf, which should be effective in bot and would usually be pretty effective in mid (especially in normal play), but ziggs is longer range than most and is less affected than he’d normally be.
Gragas: Gragas high haste (codex stacking) E spamming builds while funny and largely ineffective, just look a bit strange/bugged, so we’re adjusting the cooldown paradigm.
Seraphine: Targeting mostly the outputs that are tied to farming roles (AP ratios, Q as a farming tool, etc.) and leaving most of the supportive outputs intact. Hoping that this keeps her support power roughly the same while tapping down Bot." - https://twitter.com/RiotPhroxzon/status/1719502075439309152

I don’t think Teemo deserves both timing and missile speed buffs especially since Kennen isn’t listed here for buffs. Nobody wants to play against Teemo sitting there and autoing you all lane. Most other champs here don’t scale with attack speed, Teemo is one of the few that does.
Missile speed on Teemo is fine. The timing buff not. It makes him a lot better at kiting.
I hope Riot delivers nerfs for Teemo, Rumble and Singed in time. Teemo and Singed are already OP in soloQ and Rumble is a pro play monster (fix his E bug).
I wonder if people will finally stop banning briar every single game.
Buffing Oriana, interesting.
+10 Armor for Rammus I think is too much. He just needs +5 back and that’s it. He is close to fine and just needs ~+0.5% WR back.
Briar nerfs seems ok. WQE and WEQ might become evenly good to max (-1% WR). Not sure if it will be enough to kill the upcoming Lethality builds. The R nerf looks good for that, but a lot of it is the W bAD ratio. But lets wait and see.
For Mundo I would have liked to see the active E nerf to be softened not the passive one. 0-50% more dmg based on 0-50% missing HP. It allows a tiny tick more skill expression (timing of the E) than just buffing the AD he gets.
Graves I would have liked to see the later armor get hit more. 4-12 I like more than 2-14. In the end the difference isn’t big as you don’t get many stacks early on anyways and jungle monsters don’t really deal much dmg to you anyways.
Tahm will still be awesome top. The problem is not just the % bHP scaling but also the base value. It got buffed at lvl 11 from 38 to 48. The bHP scaling gives up to 1-30 dmg to the P, but especially early/mid it is 1-10, so less than the base number buff. Also why does the P get +4 per lvl but at lvl 11 it gets +6???.
Ziggs -4 Armor nerf seems massive. I think -2 is enough at first. It should cost him a good amount of WR against AD champs.
Seraphine I am very skeptical here. +0-40 E dmg is nice and will for sure push the QEW max up for mid lane. +10 MS is also a lot for every Seraphine player. But the W AP ratio nerf is tiny and so is the P nerf. I see all of them becoming OP like that. +10 MS is just way too massive. The Q nerf is slightly larger, but still strange. 15% HP as the cap. Come on Riot, having all these different low HP caps (0%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 33%, 35%) becomes annoying over time. You won’t know which cap which champ has except you play the champ all the time. Pls normalize these caps to like 25% or 30% or 33% for all of them.
All other stuff looks great. Especially Janna revert.
janna revert feels unreal, I literally dreamed for it ever since it was gone
I was already maxxing E second on brand now there is even more reason to.
Wait with these mage buffs will we finally not need to get the AS shard just to last hit?
Mundo Jungle is coming!
Buff mage attack speed but keep Talon (a melee champion btw) with the same abysmal attack speed that is lower than fucking Veigar’s. Ty Riot very cool.
Lol, inb4 Janna hits 57% winrate. Yass queen
