League of Legends Patch 10.17: 5 Changes We Want to See

League of Legends Patch 10.17 is scheduled to be a small patch amid the recent release of two new champions and rumors of another on the way. With that being said, there are still a few more changes that could impact the game for the better. Let's take a look at which updates would impact the game in a positive manner.

League of Legends Patch 10.17: 5 Changes We Want to See

Lux Nerfs

Lux's win rate has skyrocketed recently and sits at almost 55%. She is particularly strong as a support and just seems like she is able to do too much. Lux has a ton of crowd control and damage, which can make her feel frustrating to lane against. If Lux lands her Q, she can either chunk you out of lane or find a kill. Riot Games should take a little edge off of her damage in order to get her back to a reasonable level.

Healing Reduction Tweaks

While this is scheduled to be addressed in the off-season, healing is a massive problem in the League of Legends meta. Far too many champions have built in healing and items like Death's Dance can turn any champion into a healing nightmare. It feels like Executioner's Calling is a mandatory buy--especially for ADCs -- which decreases variability in build paths. A nice way to work around this is to build some healing reduction into champion's kits or into the rune tree to create more interesting pre-game choices.

Lillia Buffs

Lillia's release was underwhelming because the champion wasn't strong enough. The community seems to lack a consensus as to where she should even be played. She was clearly designed to jungle, but feels clunky and may be better suited as a solo laner. Regardless, she needs a buff as she is not finding success anywhere on the Rift at the moment.

Ability Power Buffs

The mid lane feels dominated by AD picks at the moment with Zed, Yone, and Yasuo running a muck. Mages besides Cassiopeia are struggling and the diversity of the mid lane is hurting. This could be remedied by buffs to AP itemization such as Morellonomicon, Liandry's Torment, or Rabbadon's Deathcap. Any of these items could provide a much needed boo

More Yone!

While many would disagree with wanting to see more of Yasuo's brother, there is a recurring theme with new champions that is detrimental to the game. Every time Riot Games releases a new champion, they are banned in an outrageous percentage of games, meaning the community never gets to experience them or learn to play against them.

Riot did a phenomenal job with Yone's design and backstory and the community should get a better opportunity to celebrate that, rather than see him permanently banned.
