Is anyone else genuinely freaked out about the Vayne nerf coming in patch 26.17?

I know it’s primarily aimed at Vayne top, but I honestly couldn't care less about top lane. I strictly play her as an ADC, and I’m a massive fan of the classic on-hit build that heavily relies on high attack speed and W procs. I like the crit build too, but only a few times whenever I'm against full squishies, but it lack the versatility and survivability the on-hit build bring, maybe its a personnal taste after all.

My biggest fear is that Riot is going to target her W.
Since it’s already been nerfed multiple times before and it's the main reason she bullies tanks and bruisers in top, nerfing it again will just destroy her in the bot lane. The tanky on-hit setup completely relies on that W true damage to work...

I’ve been maining Vayne for almost 10 years now. I stick with her even when she’s bottom tier, but right now, she’s just sitting at an average spot at best. One bad nerf could easily break both of her legs and push her straight into "troll pick" territory for ADC, forcing her into a pure top laner (basically pulling a Quinn on us).

Does anyone else share this feeling, or am I just overthinking it? What are your thoughts?

Edit : just saw the values are out ! Lmao I just checked out yeah, "Q mana cost 30 -> 46-30" and "W damage 6%-10% 4%-10%".
Well that's bad, you can't Q anymore to dodge mage spamming spells botlane without getting OOM now. W deal even less damages in early.
She's gonna be soooo trash in laning phase omg

Last night, I wanted to hop into a quick game of LoL Classic and decided to play Ezreal.

As a huge Ezreal main, nothing beats the feeling of playing the old version with the old items and his old W : instant nostalgia!

I saw that I could pick a skin. I already knew that modern skins would be available (like Fairy Court IIRC, which came out way after his rework), but since I felt that completely kills the vibe, I decided to go with a true OG skin: Frosted Ezreal!

Imagine my surprise when I realized that even for such an old skin, Riot couldn't even bother to use the old character model. I was so baffled to find out I was playing with the post-rework model on a skin from 2010 !

They seriously need to fix this. Give me back my old Frosted Ezreal! And the same goes for Pulsefire, by the way!

Hey Zeri enjoyers!

Do you think Zeri is a solid mid lane pick as an off-role since the rework?

Her early game is slightly more impactful than before, which is a nice bonus in the mid lane.

She also has pretty much everything a midlaner could ask for: the ability to short trade with Q + AA, as well as all-in with her ult, decent waveclear through W and E, solid roaming potential thanks to her E, and incredible mobility in skirmishes and teamfights — even more so since the rework — which lets her hold her own even without a support.

Against certain early aggressive picks like Zed, Talon, or Akali, I'd imagine you'd need to play it safe and run Exhaust to manage the kill pressure.

I'm not claiming she's a meta pick by any means, but I do think she should logically fare better in mid lane than most ADCs who have absolutely no business being there.

What do you think?
