Block Penetration Nerf

THE_COLLECT0R

I am so sad. What is going to be the new strat and what should we move it to, or is BP still the best move?

Each champ is different.
Each meta is different.
I wasn't running block pen across the board anyway, so it's always case specific.

I think some will still use block pen but i do think armor pen be a good one of some resist added depending who is placed

It a hasle to change it. No way could be a good way if you could change it all the time even if you in a quest

It's not that big of a nerf. From 6% to 4%.

That crit damage buff tho....nice. from 18% to 23%.

You noticed that the new announcement too (same here).

Wonder if (defensive) Physical/Energy Resistance now would be better(those got “increased), but it is only 1 or the other.

Also, (offensive) saw that they increased CritDamage, maybe trying to create an alternative to the CritRate that a lot of people seem to use (at least Rate didn’t get decreased).

Seems like a silly thing to tweak at this point.

Eh not really. Everything except block pen is increasing so its a good thing.

Reducing block penetration sounds like a nice way of making Bullseye and Serpent less punishing on defence.

Yeah, this is a good change on paper. Should allow you a couple of extra blocked hits in a fight. Sometimes, that's all it takes.
