In League of Legends, the next patch 5.18 aims to ensure balance. It will serve as the foundation for the World Championships. Meanwhile, fundamental revisions for three more champions are on the horizon.
Garen gains hatred for the most dangerous opponent on the enemy team. This allows him to maintain a lane relatively well, even when he messed it up, as he holds so much rage against his opponent that he could compensate for the item/gold advantage. They don’t want that. Thus, kills no longer grant Garen these villain points.
The initially weak Darius was catapulted too far with a hotfix. Now Riot finds his healing from Q too strong and wants to tone it down.
They are quite satisfied with Skarner, but still find his gank a bit strong, so they are nerfing the slow effect of E.
Mordekaiser is probably causing Riot the biggest problems, as he is a strong two-man laner but weak in solo lanes. Here, Riot wants to adjust how he functions.
These three champions can look forward to a rework in League of Legends
The champions that they want to properly overhaul next, at the level of “Sion”, are:
Poppy, who will probably get a new R, is expected to continue functioning as a top laner/jungler
Taric, but probably not until 2016
And Yorick has not been forgotten either; they want to make him a strong pusher, but that will be after Poppy and Taric
