That's it. The king of the Convergence, the emperor of Teamfight Tactics... has finally been nerfed. Draven has been dominating the meta for too long now, forcing Riot to act. However, is it really enough?
While they massively nerfed Jinx and Lucian, the changes brought to the Glorious Executioner seems almost irrelevant. Don't you think so?
That being said... Patch 9.16b is here with a fist full of balance changes! Check this out!
