Really surprised no one uses him on US, kass and sion are for me the best ap carries to rofl over the other team in solo q. (EDIT: Maybe malz too)
Kass draws a lot of his strength on EU from the carry/support bottom lane setup. The level advantage makes it ridiculously easy for Kass to pick carries apart.

Nerfing sion's hp is just a pain, he is weak in lane early anyway and it doesn't nothing to fix his crazy ap ratios on his nukes anyway. -_- Dunno why malph nerf, haven't played him in ages anyway, meh. Cho kinda hit hard, but shen left untouched. Renek crazy strong as ever, they supposedly nerf tanky dps and don't touch him lawl.

Another dual lane buff...
Any idea how was it before? I know there was dual lane buff before.. but i don't know specifics. Any1 knows what is the difference between 6 month ago and now aside from the fact that 'there was a buff'?
They reduced the amount of XP that minions give when only one person is gaining experience.
I'm assuming that this implicitly reverts that (because it makes no sense for 1 person to get a penalty AND for 2 people to get a bonus--use one or the other as the baseline value).

Kass is used plenty on US, it's just I don't think he really outclasses Annie/Anivia (which appear to be Riot's balancing point for AP carries.
Stronger AD carries make Kass less viable on US as they can abuse Kass in the lane where they are actually quite weak until 6+. Then in team fights Kass is facing infinity edges and what not from about the 20min mark onwards so it's not that simple to avoid CC and huge auto attacks on what you would still call a squishy champ. Supression can also be very strong against Kass.

Cait's ult is strong vs. Kass as well. Still, well-deserved nerfs in his case. Kinda surprised to see Amumu, Shen and Jarvan squeaking by without nerfs, I thought at least one of them would've taken a hit.
* Fixed a bug where Flashfrost stunned for 0.75 seconds instead of 1 second as the tooltip stated * Fixed a bug where unlike other skillshots, Flashfrost could not be cast from out of range * Glacial Storm o Initial mana cost increased to 100/150/200 from 25/35/45 o Cost per second reduced to 40/50/60 from 50/70/90 o Slow duration reduced to 1 second from 2.5 * Rebirth o Armor/magic resist modifier changed to -40/-25/-10/5/20 from -40/-20/10/40 o Rebirth now always shows the passive in the passive slot, and an additional buff in the buff bar with the current status (ready, active, or on cooldown)

Anyways this patch seems really good. All the champions that deserved a nerf got it imo. To hell with Kass, Sion and Cho'gath.
Except my boy Singed was just gettin' hated on for no reason. But we still coo, we still coo.
I just found this out a few days ago by accident. I was doing some research on gold/10 quints (don't ask) and apparently doran's blade was providing an extra passive 1g/10

It´s a relative strenghtening of duolaners. Right now duolane benefits "low resource" champions too much and 2v1 is too far in favour of the 1 guy.

They are not comparable actually. Kass is an Assassin with insane AP ratios to the point of being a carry. He has far more mobility but less range than actualy AP carries like Annie/Anivia. It´s no suprise that he appears to be underwealming if you expect him to work similarly to them.

It used to have g/10 before they changed it to lifesteal lol.
Also all these melee champion nerfs are pretty dissapointing. The extremely early game nerfs are going to make it hell for any melee solo champion.

He did actually. He is immovable in lane and had the highest burst out of any champ at 0 AP (or AD).
Being good in lane and having a really good nuke doesn't justify the nerf he got. He still wasn't even the best tank, or the best AP nuke, even with his laning ability and Feast.
