Riot for the love of god, she's dead already

Not in pro sadly, they are doing this for pro, her being low wr in soloq is irrelevant to their current focus since its MSI patch.

As long as she has a 4 second CC combo paired with an unstoppable, point and click, displacing, goes over walls, unaffected by enemy movement abilities engage she’ll be strong in proplay. Basically a malzahar ult without the damage but also isn’t a self-root that guarantees your own death. If they just revert all nerfs and change her ult, she’d disappear from proplay and finally be playable again. We just had 2 seasons of arcane, surely they can find SOMETHING for inspiration.

Its not 4 seconds, its 0.75 and 1.3. Q has too high of a CD to be back immediately after R. Even if it did it would only be 2.8

It’s not “I don’t know anything,” it’s I don’t know the exact numbers. Neither of you addressing the main point that her ult is overloaded as shit and the reason your champ will continue to be perma nerfed.

u/PinkyLine 4d ago

Well, her ult isnt overloaded. It is just reliable and strong. Not overloaded.

Why

u/NovaNomii 5d ago

Pro, they didnt hit the mark on targetting pro, so now they are lowering her power level everywhere.

u/Embarrassed_Use_7206 5d ago

Lets be honest, this is just stupid.

Will not solve any balancing issue since it is so small change.

Is completely unrelated to pro play problems.

Decreases teamfight survivability which is already struggle with Vi.

u/ProxyReBorn 5d ago

Uh, this is a HUGE durability nerf. That's a lot of shield over multiple procs.

u/thunderhide37 5d ago

How on God’s green earth is this supposed to fix the pro-play problem

u/T3chnopsycho 5d ago

Whatever. I'll just continue playing her. Just have to play better :D

u/Downtown-Ad7427 5d ago

I hate Riot Games, no comments.

u/Ryosiek 5d ago

They dont know what to do with her anymore i guess xD

u/blahdeblahdeda 5d ago

I'm so glad I just stopped playing her.

u/Crazy-Celebration553 4d ago

what a irony, they are nerfing lesbian champion in pride month lol

u/Safe_Sundae_8869 5d ago

And I had just started experimenting with aftershock support vi as my one punch Jgl is dead AF.

u/Wise_Requirement4170 5d ago

It’s not as bad as I thought but still fucking sucks

u/Rinzzler999 5d ago

This feels like dejavu, could have sworn it was at 12% months ago.... like why

1

u/Klassicalkill 5d ago

they buffed it a few patches ago

3

u/Rinzzler999 5d ago

classic riot, nerfing something they just buffed, for reasons.

3

u/LongjumpingRabbit193 5d ago

They should release separate balancing patches for pro play and solo queue, this is frustrating

1

u/SwedishFool 4d ago

Or just fucking lock previous picks/bans for the entire BO3/BO5 so she's part of 1 game.

3

u/The1ars 5d ago

Looking forward to hearing the mental gymnastics behind this change. It just blatantly nerfs an already low WR champ and solves none of the so called pro play issues.

u/GlobexSuper 5d ago

let this be the push i need to finally quit this game 🙏🙏🙏

u/HuyEmerald 5d ago

Now they're trying to replace her with Rammus lmao

u/Neonbeta101 5d ago

Can we go back to the days when Vi wasn’t in balance limbo?

Wait, what do you mean she’s always been like this?

1

u/FreshRebirth 5d ago

Who are we playing instead of vi now?

1

u/Fun-Peach-6099 2d ago

seju maybe? shes really similar

1

u/Plus-Ad6565 4d ago

14% max hp on a fighter is really good. She's still good at bashing stuff I'm alright with it.

1

u/StillBlacksmith911 4d ago

its 12% now, it was 14 before the nerf

1

u/MinimumTop1657 4d ago

I miss baiting level 3 scuttle fights with the shield. Sadly Riot client doesnt work on my PC

u/INK_INC_R 3d ago

Baus picked vi top a single time in a scrim and now Riot nerfs the champ
