The Vi change on Q knockback might seem weird, but it's actually the result of Riot reaching out to otp Vi player Super Metroid. He's a west coast player, and he has been complaining that since the server move his old BnB combo of Q>auto>E>Ult went from being garunteed to having to get lucky. He's been saying for a long time that this buff along with Gragas and Reksai being not so OP is all she needed, this patch seems to address those issues.

The confusion here is that Q never listed the duration of the knockback, it was actually unknown. There is conflicting information between the patchnotes and Vi's designer. When Gypsylord messaged Metroid to ask him about Vi buffs, Metroid asked him how the knockback worked and he was told it was .5 seconds period (no variation like listed in the notes).
Here is where I get a little unsure of what was actually changed, Metroid said if he could have 1 buff it would be to extend the knockback so he could execute his old BnB combo, that had a 100% execution rate when west coast ping was the best ping. Gypsylord responded that he felt this buff was too much, and that it probably wouldn't happen, he instead said he would ask the dev team to up the refresh time(client to server check) on Vi's knockup, thinking perhaps this would increase consistency on being able to do the combo or not.
So he's Gypsylord was either wrong on the duration of the old knockup, or he changed his mind on just flat buffing the knockup, but I am sure it is intended as a buff at all levels as I would expect their QA team to try executing the combo at faked ping, but it's riot so who knows lol.
UPDATE: apparently the knockup was .5 static, however the standard server check rate allowed for a variation of .5-.75, in other words it was a completely random variable, the ability has been buffed to .7 as well as having a flag to refresh the status with the server at a higher rate, to make it as consistently .7 as possible barring players with super bad ping etc. With this buff in place the Vi Q>auto>e>ult combo should be guaranteed before the player is able to flash/react.

Riot doesn't like junglers. Since start of season they've just nerfed all the good ones.
No jungle buffs ever.

The solution is to bring back jungle Aatrox. Probably the champion on top of Riot's hate list after the Yorick rework.

Yea, kindred is always gonna be dangerous to balance as long as jungle clear speed is so important.

That reminds me of how bad Kalista is now. Any idea what they are going to do with her? She went from broken good to broken bad.

I'm not saying Kindred is (are?) a top tier jungler but it would be better if she didn't get any buffs while the 4 junglers banned in that game (Reksai, Gragas, Nidalee and Elise) got nerfed.

Or instead of nerfing 3 tiers of strong junglers they could buff shitty junglers.
|
We don't have time to experiment with dozens of shitty junglers before Worlds.
|
With Gragas and Reksai dead jungle will be fine.
Reksai isn't actually going to be dead anyway.
|
ye nid, graves, elise every game will be so much better /s
|

Way to be a wet blanket. At least they are doing something why when they do bitch about it?
|
But them being good isn't them actually being good, it is the old stuff that was better not existing anymore.
To it just means junglers have less control on the game and oh well I guess.
It was too easy to plug 3 holed in the boat with one plug so now they geto to do it by selecting the plugs that are a standard size smaller!
