Patch 6.8 "Mid Season" - Bran's Thoughts

I'm counting Staff of Myrddin as a direct He Bo buff. There is literally no move in his kit that wouldn't benefit from this item. I actually cannot wait for the absolute scumbaggery that is to come.

Really dislike the Arthurian items (I dislike anything with 'Arthur' in it *cough* King Arthur *cough*) but we'll see. Nike and Eset will be interesting to play for sure.

Nike will probably need to be nerfed, if I were to guess. Probably level 1 Rend in particular...instead of 50/80/110/140/170 +40% scaling, perhaps 10 down on each level and a slight boost in scaling...40/70/100/130/160 + 45% or 50% scaling. 150 potential damage (before mitigations) at level 1 seems too high. Also perhaps the duration of the shield (5s instead of 6s), and maybe even put the ult back down to the original non-boosted levels.

Not sure on Eset...she got a strong buff overall, and I'm guessing the shield will have to be detuned, maybe not on the base shield, but instead the increased potency. Up to 80% of the base shield means she could give herself and nearby allies a 450 health shield...but it's only 1.5-2.5 seconds, so it's short enough that timing will be somewhat important. But basically, it's a stronger version of Magic Shell. Seems too strong.

I think the shield won't need that much of an adjustment depending on the range for gaining the shield (as it seems you dont have to hit allies with it). Duration is fairly short and for most characters late game 450 blocks around 2 non crit basics or the bigest part of an mages ability.
