How are we nerfing Wriggle's in the jungle to an unusable state? Source? Speculation? Specific concerns?

Morello worked on Guild Wars.

Funny about that.

And thus you will buff very strong laning champions, like Renekton. GG. Once again Riot team fails to comprehend WHY Wriggles lantern becomes very popular. Because it is the only item that lets you stay in a lane vs stupidly strong laning champions. And lanes win games.

If you nerf Wriggles then there will be no counter to self healing tanky champions in lane. What do? You should nerf lane sustainability all across the board. Mistakes should be punished, but when you are able to regain half you health during half a minute then you can make really many mistakes, while enemies are forced to flee and give up towers.

I'll be expecting a nerf to Catalyst in the same patch then

Lane sustainability for a low cost AND it can turn into 2 items!

Innervating locket has been removed because bruisers were using them instead of supports , and now they will nerf It because It is used by laners when It's designed for junglers.Quite unlogical.

Maybe this nerf won't, but most of your previous patches focused on addressing Bruisers and Jungling have had pretty significant collateral damage.

That doesn't change its cost effectiveness. Increasing the cost by 75 gold pretty much removes 1 free ward from it's use.
