League of Legends’ Samira gets a bunch of key nerfs next patch
If you’ve been keeping an eye on those League of Legends patch 11.4 notes for the multiplayer game’s next update, you’ll have seen a batch of balance changes have been previewed, with some already on the PBE. The list of champions getting slapped with nerfs in the patch isn’t extensive – but there is a bunch of key changes for one of the MOBA game’s more recent additions.
Samira, the Desert Rose, joined League back in September 2020 and has since seen a handful of balance tweaks, as her patch history shows. In next week’s 11.4 update, however, the marksman champ will see changes across all five of her abilities, with gameplay design director Mark Yetter explaining on Twitter that the “Samira work is focused on opening up some weakness and removing tools for her long term counterplay”.
