System Buffs

1. Umbral Glaive
2. Catalyst the Protector

System Nerfs

1. Recall Homeguard

System Adjustments

1. Lane Swap Detection

1. Pool Party Malphite
2. Urgot the Clogfather
3. Grill Master Braum
4. Glizzy Naafiri
5. Cat-in-the-Box Shaco
6. Pengu Garen

Systems

• Catalyst has been weak for a while, especially compared to Lost Chapter which feels like a significantly better purchase
• We're not looking to decrease the price as that makes it too good at stalling action on the 1100 spike, so just looking to increase its actual efficiency
• Umbral has also been pretty weak for a while with Pyke being the only user
• Recall with symbiotic soles has been an intended but too powerful interaction, we like where it is on supports, but the mid lane use cases have been too powerful, so we're taking it down a tad

Gwen

• Gwen's changes have had the effect we wanted in terms of skew (especially adding her back as a more effective pick in top lane in high skill play), however a bit too effective, even after the micropatch so we're taking her down a bit more

Naafiri

• Naafiri is still pretty strong, even after the micropatch, so we're taking her down a bit further down
• So far, she's pretty low ELO skewed; we're looking to bring her early game down and especially in jungle
• So far her damage is pretty high, which we're keeping it there but making her work a little harder to access that damage
