Several marksmen received buffs making them more dominant in the bot lane, while a handful of mid-lane mages were toned down after dominating the previous patch.<\/p>\n<h2>Top Changes This Patch<\/h2>\n<h3>Buffs<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Marksmen<\/strong> \u2014 Attack damage growth increased across multiple champions. Expect more bot lane carry impact.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Engage Supports<\/strong> \u2014 Cooldowns reduced on key engage abilities. Strong picks for proactive support players.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jungle Fighters<\/strong> \u2014 Clear speed improved. Faster first clears means more early pressure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Nerfs<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>AP Mid Laners<\/strong> \u2014 Base damage reduced. Still strong but require more gold to reach their damage thresholds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tank Tops<\/strong> \u2014 Armor growth nerfed. Slightly squishier in early laning phase.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Item Changes<\/h2>\n<p>Several mythic items have been adjusted. AD assassin items received a cost reduction making them easier to rush, while AP support items had their healing ratios tuned down slightly.<\/p>\n<h2>Tier List Impact<\/h2>\n<p>Expect Marksmen and Engage Supports to dominate the meta in 16.11. Jungle Fighters are great secondary picks. AP carries are still viable but need team follow-up to maximize their damage windows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Full breakdown of patch 16.11.
