"26.11 Full Patch Preview!

The major changes this patch are to the Systems mentioned yesterday to adjust the relative balance of Ranged vs Melee supports in bot lane."

Full Preview: https://x.com/RiotPhroxzon/status/2056998824779079835

Diana

"The other systems impacting changes are some adjustments to Diana and Ekko jungle who have been slightly worse for wear there (though Mid is mostly fine)"

[P] Moonsilver Blade monster damage ratio increased 230% >>> 270%

[W] Pale Cascade shield bonus HP ratio increased 9% >>> 11% (18% >>> 22% on full orb detonation)

Ekko

[P] Z-Drive Resonance - Resonance cooldown per target reduced 5 >>> 4 seconds

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hey, hold on a second.

Jungle Ekko and Diana both have win rates below 50%, and since they’re easy-to-play jungle champions, this means they’re in a really weak state.

So, it’s only natural that Riot buffed them.

However, while Ekko’s buff was minor, Diana’s buff is downright absurd.

What’s more, even though Diana has a win rate that’s higher than Ekko’s even in the mid lane, her W has received a buff that’s practically a glitch.

What on earth is this disparity?

Isn’t Diana’s buff ridiculous compared to Ekko’s?

I don’t think this will change much for Ekko, but I think Diana will make it back into the top 10 champions. What do you think?

Diana and Ekko are getting buffed in the next patch, but Diana is getting a massive buff—what on earth is going on with Ekko?

Whether in the jungle or mid lane, Ekko is absolutely rubbish right now.

Dusk was nerfed, so I tried Rich, but Rich has absolutely no durability,

and his damage just isn’t enough.

The current Ekko is only about 60% as strong as he was in his prime.

To be honest, I feel like I can win surprisingly easily when I use a different champion.

Have a go at Katarina or Xin zhao.

Ekko’s burst damage will feel like rubbish in comparison.
