u/Samiraisnotbalanced

Since patch 26.08, the character is currently mediocre. I'm losing matchups that I used to easily beat, like Xerath, Hwei, and Viktor. Her Q cast time is too long, preventing me from stacking her passive. Her E's range is too short, and they already nerfed her W. I wish they would at least bring back the old Q range and area, and her E, in patch 26.3, because I'm really tired of playing Mel. What are your thoughts?

They need to bring back Samira's E ability's dash speed and W duration, just like the 2020 version. Right now, the character is too resistant; we should be unstoppable when she gets ahead, but instead, we're losing to crowd control. I think Samira should be able to build Navori like Nilah, or they should increase her E dash speed and W duration to 1 second. To find balance, they could reduce her base health or armor growth rate. The character's damage is a bit insufficient, and to make matters worse, she lacks the old agility from 2020, making her feel like she's playing an assassin rather than a marksman. Please spread the word! As Samira mains, let's send this to the Riot community and balance teams! :)
