i refuse to believe anyone actually likes or cares about twitch/kassadin/talon/qiyana/hecarim they just convince themselves that they are cool champs bc a few funny streamers play(ed) it

Muramana is Sylas' best item and the reason is simple ROA Muramana full combo: 1527 dmg Rocketbelt Riftmaker: 1124 dmg Difference: 403 dmg ROA Shadowflame (vs perfect target): 1414 dmg Muramana still wins: 113 dmg Per full combo Muramana adds: 330 spell dmg 360 passive AD dmg 128 Shock dmg 818 total dmg That’s from Q/W/E 4 passive procs. A 100 AP item adds around: 380 total dmg So Muramana is giving roughly 438 more damage per full rotation. Just because an item is classified as AD doesnt mean ap champs shouldn't or can't build it The shock passive makes up for any replacement AP item and the extra damage on Sylas' passive is just additional bonus damage for free that no other item is giving.

Patch 26.11 Preview! In 26.11, we're making a few adjustments to the Support ecosystem to improve diversity, especially in terms of melee vs ranged balance.  We're also doing some continued followup to champs after some of the Season 2 changes have been optimized.  AP Xin Zhao has popped out as one of the most striking and fun champs, but his healing is a bit on the high side, especially when he's outhealing some of the champs designed around healing.  That said, we still think healing a bunch is exciting and worth supporting, just not at this magnitude.  Systems - With the role quests in Season Start, ranged supports have risen to the top of the pecking order - They're both the best at multiplying ADC's who are strong currently, as well as benefiting the most from being in lane for role quests - Roaming also pays a higher systemic cost as it puts both yourself behind on quest progress and makes it so your ally ADC can't stack their quest - Overall, this has been desirable, as we think in 2025, roaming was too high for the most part and especially undercut the satisfaction of players in bot lane wanting to a play a “real laning phase” - At the same time though, we do want to open up a bit of roaming power on the grub timing after early lane is done and so we're buffing up the reward of grubs just slightly - We're making a broad set of changes to both improve the desirability of some underpurchased items, as well as more finely tune the purpose of various items in the ecosystem - Other systems adjustments this patch are changes to Experimental Hexplate that aim to make it shine on both melee and ranged users.  - Currently the best users are champs like Nocturne, Olaf, Vayne, Varus and we think we can strike a better balance on more champions while also making the item tradeoffs more apparent for durability vs damage on Vayne and Varus (mostly manifesting in Top) - The other systems impacting changes are some adjustments to Diana and Ekko jungle who have been slightly worse for wear there (though Mid is mostly fine)
