Yoru and KAY/O are also getting buffed Credit: Riot Games “We view Phoenix as an aggressive entry agent, so the additional Run It Back and Blaze changes are intended to support his proactive intentions when taking space or fights early on into rounds,” said Riot in the PBE notes. The most significant change is to Run It Back, which allows Phoenix to respawn with the amount of shields he had when the ability was cast, even if he lost it in an earlier engagement. In addition, Phoenix will equip his weapon earlier when he stops bending his Blaze wall. The flash duration of Curveball has increased from 1.1 seconds to 1.5 seconds, while the flash windup has decreased from 0.7 seconds to 0.5 seconds. To make him more competitive, Riot is buffing his Curveball, Blaze, and Run It Back ultimate. The weakness in his kit lies in the fact that other agents can do everything Phoenix does, and even more effectively.įor instance, his Curveball flash is currently the worst in the game, while his Blaze wall and Hot Hands molotov don’t offer any unique benefits to his team compared to Neon’s Fast Lane or Viper’s Snake Bite. In the VCT NA and EMEA Stage 2 Challengers, Phoenix was not even picked a single time. He is also barely used at all in pro play. In the last 30 days, he is second from the bottom with a measly 8.2 percent pick rate, according to Valorbuff. Phoenix currently has among the lowest pick rates in competitive play. Phoenix buffs are now being tested in patch 5.01 PBE Credit: Riot Games
