Season 4.1 (4.5?) Patch Winners and Losers (Patreon)

What's up everybody. It's been a little bit. I've been on the editing grind heavy between the Patch Comparison video (wrecked my sleep schedule to get it out quickly) and the Lucy Beginner guide (which I'm wrapping up, and posting today).

I wanted to talk about some early thoughts about winners and losers of the patch. It's probably the next video I'm posting about this patch, before doing the "playing Lucy to see X" (I'm leaning towards to see if she's trash, because some top players are dooming about her).

Some clear winners are Dizzy and Venom. They just got a lot of love, Venom especially. That being said, while Dizzy actually feels pretty strong, Venom is even more technical, and I think even though they gave him a lot, it might not do much for him.

I think another winner, for the first time in a while, is Millia. A lot of top tiers are weaker, and they just juiced her damage and routing even more.

Finally, the last one MIGHT be Ky, but I need to see how he actually plays this patch.

For losers, I'm thinking Sin is a clear one. He lost a lot of conversion ability - no conversions out of Hoof Stomp midscreen, and Elk Hunt period. On top of that, Red Wild Assault was nerfed on block, so he has a new negative situation he didn't have to worry about before.

I've heard Faust lost out as well. Not just super PRC, but they are saying the 6H change is effectively a nerf.

Besides these two characters though, I need to take a little more time to think about this. I think Pot and Anji got a slap on the wrist, so while I wouldn't say they are winners, I do want to mention them in some capactiy.

How are y'all feeling about the patch? I'm probably going to ruminate about it for another day or so and then whip up a video about it, and that is essentially the end of my topical/quick flip videos for the new patch.
