Riot Games is set to nerf Yasuo and Riven in the upcoming Patch 11.17. It is not all bad news though as Champions, such as Ziggs and Nocturne, are receiving some buffs.
Ever since the Legionnaire trait rework in the previous patch, Champions like Yasuo and Riven have a more reliable place in the meta thanks to the Omnivamp healing.
The rework entails a buff in attack speed by as much as 250%. In addition, all Legionnaires will gain healing and bonus attack speed for a portion of the damage dealt by attacks and abilities.
While all comps can take advantage of the Legionnaire rework, developers have nerfed individual Champions to compensate for the huge buff. Champions like Yasuo and Riven, popularly used in Dawnbringer and Nightbringer comps, have been hit hard.
