Riot Phroxzon also provided some more details in his post, noting that Mel's winrate growth has mostly stalled — similar to that of Neeko's release. Therefore, Mel gets no further balance adjustments in the upcoming patch. Below is the breakdown of it.
Update | Details |
|---|---|
| Mel | - After the hotfix, Mel's win rate growth has mostly stalled, similar to Neeko's release. - No further balance adjustments in this patch. - The team thinks Mel's abilities are intuitive and can be learned over time by players. - Mel is currently very popular. She's also easy to play for folks arriving from Arcane. |
| Support Items | - Riot Games is trying to balance support power level and ADC satisfaction. - Nerfs are targeted at more damaging support items to decrease damage. - Riot Games is still interested in long-term solutions for increasing ADC and top agency plus satisfaction. These changes are still in progress. |
| Bounties | - Riot Games is further reducing the bounty value for a single player trying to turn the game around while carrying a losing team. |
| Attack Speed Cap | - Small increase to attack speed cap to 3.0 - Balancing systems need to provide high attack speed with realistic caps. |
| Dragon Souls | - Small rebalancing to the Dragon Souls. - Cloud Dragon is perceived as weak, but it's know to be powerful to skilled players. - Chemtech Dragon is underpowered across the board. |
| Domination Tree | - Riot Games removed some Adaptive from the Domination tree in 25.S1.1 via Eyeball Collector, so the developers are buffing Domination Keystones to compensate. - Riot Games is also buffing assassins to adjust their power level. |
