Though the newest\u00a0League of Legends\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>champion Samira\u00a0was only released yesterday, Riot Games has deemed it necessary that she receives hotfix nerfs.\u00a0Her\u00a0Devil May Cry<\/em>-inspired kit<\/a> has proved too powerful in just the short time she has been available, with the incoming nerfs targeting her stats and ultimate ability.<\/p>\n

Lead Gameplay Designer Mark “Scruffy” Yetter announced the hotfix nerfs via Twitter. Samira’s base HP will be lowered along with the base damage and scaling on her ultimate. Yetter stated that while there was still a commitment for League of Legends<\/a> <\/em>to “releasing champions long term balanced,” Samira was clearly too strong on release which forced Riot Games’ hand.<\/p>\n

The nerf to Samira’s ultimate is welcomed considering the abundance of clips demonstrating its power, but the large size of the base HP nerf is surprising considering how Samira’s kit rewards her for\u00a0riskily positioning in close range. Time will tell how this will affect Samira, but large base HP nerfs historically can tank a champion’s viability.<\/p>\n
