Almost nothing has changed. So I I have made a couple changes now that I've understood the meta a little better. I have included Ashe into S tier. Uh but the main thing is Smolder is still a god tier champion despite the nerfs. So yes, the were somewhat decent, but Smolder is already such a strong champion.
