Worlds patch is done
Have the ability to make changes which are fun and interesting after a year of next to no content (1 Champ 1 VGU) and placebo patches
Do nothing
??
Also this trend of identifying X issue after 2 years and making a feeble effort at trying to fix it is worrying

Patch 26.22 Full Preview!
Viktor
- Viktor's nerfs last patch overshot a bit, but we're happy with the power redistribution to make his mobility (base movespeed) a bit worse
- This emphasizes his weakness of walking around the map unassisted, but in return pays for the power budget of his strong laning and good scaling
- As a result, we're not looking to revert either of his patches from last patch but give him power back in some of that scaling power
Locke
- We've been trying to fine tune Locke's strengths and weaknesses post release and don't think it's too far off
- One place we think is a bit off though is how much damage he gets, especially early from his Q, so there's a decently sized nerf here (keep in mind that this stacks up to 3x and is increased by 40% for 3 stacks to be ~30 dmg nerf at max)
- The other place that we think is a bit off is Locke's W Movespeed
- This nerf will make the spell a bit more windowed while trying to retain satisfaction while it's active and making it a bit more costly to spam while running around the map
Shen
- Shen is decently strong in Top lane and Support, but we also think his jungle could be a bit stronger too
- It's a playstyle that players have found fun, so we're throwing it a bit of a bone
Rumble
- Rumble has been one of the strongest champs in Pro Play, but now that Pro Play patches are done, we're giving him a bit of power, as it's not like he's overly strong in Elite play either
Aurelion Sol
- There are a few Aurelion Sol players who enjoy maxing W second, but most ASol players max E second, even though it's weaker
- This is mostly the intuitive thing to do, but is quite a bit weaker than the alternative
- In an ideal world, these would be balanced against each other so both playstyles feel powerful
Smolder
- Our previous Smolder buff was a bit less impactful than intended, so we're giving another follow-up buff
- He's been a bit weaker, especially after the adjustments to Deathfire Touch
Naafiri
- We're trying to give a buff to Naafiri mid (at least with the Q heal that's more impactful there vs when she's jungle clearing)
- Overall, we think she's close to being appropriately powerful, so not trying to go too hard hereView quoted post on X
Shen is really good in the current worlds meta but the cost of his core 2 items being 6.4k for what he wants to do makes him super gold heavy toplane, so imo he should probs get picked more sup and maybe jungle? (Might be to weak with the nerf to Protoplasm and his Q mod)
