Nah they took out his Q and that sent him into the ground. Now he's just a gank-inclined mordekaiser with a long range ult. | ||

Not to mention that if you haven't won your lane by or at 6 with Taric, then you did something wrong anyway. | ||

Edit: I can see them working on some "ad casters" as well like Rhee Sin. | ||

I haven't really been keeping track of the changes in AD carries' playstyle & meta & hivemind. Edit: I can see them working on some "ad casters" as well like Rhee Sin. AD is strong because very few people have enough armor at level 1 to require full penetration, and +10 damage on your last-hit is very strong. | ||

As was mentioned several pages ago, there was absolutely no need for adding the slow/stacking DoT on his passive (the change I'm referring to)--he was completely fine and arguably already really good without that change, which is what put him absolutely over the top. And no, I don't think his point was valid when his argument is based around the idea that "early pushing is bad" when it really isn't in a lot of lane matchups at all. Yeah I think he was good before, but this version is really fun to play and the basic effects aren't unfair, just the numbers. Nerf him and he'll be a great, cool character. And I don't recall him saying early pushing is always bad. it is usually though... I know it's a valid lane tactic sometimes but it's much more common for playing passive to be better | ||

A lot of the time it just feels like Morello takes the hit by delivering the news in red posts/patch previews, but in general his reasoning for changes he had direct control over seems pretty sound and level-headed. Guinsoo, on the other hand, is arguably the cause of this retarded iteration of Gangplank, and has said stuff like "I don't believe that overextending should cause you to die" and "[pushing in lane] is rarely or never good" (when it's a legitimate way to stalemate/win lane against some of these ridiculous laners like Udyr/WW). I second this, Morello's reasoning is a lot more sound on champion balance and game direction. At least he foresaw and is combating the problems of sustain which is basically why top lane is retarded right now. Also I'm glad they're finally balancing around tournament play, even if the reasoning to get there is a bit off. | ||

I know it's a valid lane tactic sometimes but it's much more common for playing passive to be better Except using that as a reasoning for the jungle changes is a bit silly because part of the reason pushing early is bad is that lots of champs just don't get a lot *done* with early pushing. Pushing makes it harder to zone/harass your opponent, and makes him able to stay in a safer position, with the tradeoff being the ability to get some tower damage and make it harder for your opponent to lasthit on tower (not a big gain if you were already zoning him anyway). Even if ganks were weaker, you still wouldn't see pushing get that much stronger early, simply because unless your kit is really good for it, you simply don't accomplish that much right-clicking towers at low levels. Better to zone your opponent early levels and create a level/gold disparity, then easily get the tower once you come back to lane with big items and actually hit the tower for meaningful damage. Right now, pushing is good when you can't fight/out-sustain the enemy laner, but have superior creep control, and can preserve your ability to farm by maintaining creep advantage, while at the same time denying him farm by pushing waves into his tower. Alternatively, it's good when you can insta-clear creeps and then use the time while your opponent is forced to deal with your creeps to apply pressure in the jungle/in other lanes. Neither of these situations is hugely affected by the jungle--in the former, you're going to get crushed in lane anyway if you try to freeze the lane somewhere in the middle and play passive, and in the latter, your goal is to clear creeps super-fast and not be in lane so the risk of jungle ganks isn't hugely relevant. I can't see any jungle changes creating additional situations where pushing early would be good. As an aside, most of the champs that that push super hard early are actually pretty safe from ganks, simply because after you clear the enemy's creeps, you can hang back if you need to. | ||

First picked him in ranked, wish me luck What you do is you ping your target, wait for your teammate to engage then run to another lane. If they complain, you just miscalculated because rats are bad @ math. | ||
