Both are characters affected by Riot Games' nerfs, Kayn and Smolder are being considered for extra favor to return soon.
Version 14.7 is about to arrive in League of Legends in the next week with many changes to the meta game. Recently, Riot has revealed a number of adjustments, including bringing back Kayn and Smolder – two champions who have made waves in the past after a bottoming out version of both.
Recently, Phroxzon updated the list of 16 generals that will be adjusted in version 14.7 on X. Among them, Green Kayn and new general Smolder will be the focus of the update when they will be strengthened again. According to this Riot, he thinks the development team is satisfied with the previous changes, but they feel they have been too heavy-handed with both champions.
“We're aiming to get them back to about half of what they were before,” Phroxzon said of Kayn and Smolder, who both received heavy nerfs last week after dominating the pro scene and ranked play. . The Dark Death will have a slight increase in the power of his Slash skill, but his Ultimate damage will be reduced. With Little Fire Dragon, Riot is outlining the standards to help this dragon return.
Kayn has always been a character that many gamers have always been afraid to face on Summoner's Rift, but he currently has a disappointing win rate of 47.92% after being adjusted to his strength. However, not everyone is satisfied with the expected changes in version 14.7, as some fans immediately objected: “Need to buff Blue Kayn? Not what I want to see in my Elo level,”.
Smolder is not in better shape either, falling to the worst ADC position in the current version with a win rate lower than 48%. Although the detailed adjustments are unclear, we can still look forward to the return of both of these champions in the next update next week.
