Xin Zhao has no difficulty clearing the jungle quickly and efficiently without losing too much health, so this Determination buff has very little impact on his jungle clear. Instead, we’ll probably see Wukong fall to a 51-52% win rate on Patch 10.7 onwards as the player base adjusts to his mini-rework.Īlthough he has a 50.14% win rate on Patch 10.6, Xin Zhao is an unpopular jungle choice in the current meta and is overshadowed by the likes of Jarvan IV, Lee Sin, and Olaf who all offer more utility than Xin. Nevertheless, it’s inconceivable that these two relatively small changes will bring a 54.36% win rate champion back to a more balanced state. While this certainly isn’t the end of the world for Wukong, it does do some harm to his current damage output, of which Nimbus Strike is quite a huge chunk of. Secondly, Nimbus Strike is seeing a scaling -30 damage nerf at Level 9. This allows physical damage dealers to duel with Wukong without being instantly shut down as the game goes on, shifting his power more towards the early game.
LOL PATCH 10.7 SKIN
In an effort to reduce his oppressiveness on Summoner’s Rift, two aspects of the Monkey King’s kit are being hit on Patch 10.7.įirst of all, the armor granted by Wukong’s Passive – Stone Skin has been decreased by (about) 1 armor at Level 9 and 2 armor at Level 18. The mini Wukong rework went a bit too far and he currently has 53%+ win rates across three roles in solo queue (top lane, jungle, and mid lane). As for the magic resist growth nerf, Nocturne will now be slightly more vulnerable to mages in the mid lane, particularly towards the mid to late game.ĭamage: 80/120/160/200/240 -> 80/105/140/175/200 Reducing the Eternal Nightmare’s health regen makes laning a bit more troublesome as any poke he receives lasts longer and keeps his health bar low. Nocturne mid has grown a bit too powerful over recent patches ( 53.41% win rate on Patch 10.6) and needs tuning back slightly. With increased Wither range, squishy champions need to keep their distance in team fights to avoid being run down and caned down by Nasus.Īdjusting Spirit Fire’s armor reduction is the more useful of the two changes for Nasus players as it allows the champion to obliterate the health bars of his opponents whether they’re a tank or squishy. Nevertheless, if you improve the numbers in his kit by enough it becomes very difficult to punish him.

Sure, if he’s allowed to free farm and reach the late game he’s unstoppable, but that’s all he offers and is therefore easy to shut down. The problem with Nasus is how one-dimensional of a champion he is. Buffs to both Wither and Spirit Fire on Patch 10.7 might change that.
In a meta that involves an endless top lane champion pool, Nasus is surprisingly absent with an underwhelming 48.51% win rate.
