Actually I'd prefer they just leave her alone, for like the 30th time THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH UNIQUE CHAMPIONS, especially ones that when selected properly are still absolutely devastating(Scarra's Kat was a huge factor in that RS stomping of CLG, support GP just got all the pub). If they are going to change her though, with some sort of net buff on her ult/skills to be less cc'able I guess(is that what binary is? If she's cc'd she sucks if she isn't she dominates? because that sounds like every useful damage dealing champ ever), then voracity is going to need a tuning or she'll be loltastic. Like, the previously mentioned 'ult that does all damage up front, aka a huge aoe nuke just reduce the damage a bit' with the current voracity would be the biggest joke in the game. | ||

I play her in bot games with friends who are just learning how to play, and she is hilariously fun to just roflstomp 5 people by pressing r. What can i say, im a nice guy. I think it's only fair i let him know i don't read his posts, let him save some time out of his day. Kat is a fun hero, i never disagreed. But that doesn't change much when the subject was wether her ulti is any good or not. Skateboarding is fun, doesn't make it a valid alternative to flying when you want to cross the atlantic. | ||

My taric thoughts were simply this- point and click stun, armor buff, combined with an actual useful ult (I like the idea of impassable terrain, would fit with his lore) would make him a VERY strong jungling presence if you chose to go that route. Would he still work as a support bot? You bet your ass he would. But I think about that hypothetical taric the same way I think about the current gangplank- sure he is strong in lane and can shut a lane down, but why do that when you could shut down all 3 lanes? My bad on the last whisper if I worded it poorly. I meant to say that if Riot wants tanky dps to be completely not a problem (ie be terrible again) the simplest way to do that is to reintroduce the last whisper. Cuz thats what would happen. NOTE: I DO NOT THINK IT SHOULD BE IN THE GAME. IT IS NO LONGER NECESSARY. My kat thoughts: kats passive is op. Simple as that. The reason the rest of her skills need to be gimped is simply because that much cdr is gamebreaking. Nothing good can come of that champion if that passive remains the same. Of course, that passive a large part of what makes kat feel the way she does. The reason her ult is so risk reward? If it wasnt, the passive would make her a god. So instead she gets perhaps the most easily countered ult in the game. As overall design, I dislike the idea of an ultimate being completely nullified by anything other than another characters ultimate. You dont get them till level 6, and they are supposed to be strong. I would love to change it somehow to make it less easily countered, and there are ways to do that, such as making it send out damage in three waves instead of over time. But you cant do that with her current passive. So no, I am aware of the reasons kat is where she is late game. You are right about early game though, I forgot how good she was once she got to 7. I kinda would like to see that second back on bb thou, just to make her early levels a hair less rough. I hate vayne w. I understand HOW and WHY the creeps work the way they do mechanically, but it feels wrong to me. This game is all about champions and super strong fighters, but in the actual game they get stomped by puppets?. But do you really think that it would be that big a change in favor of ad carries? They can already sit back and poke at melee all they want. Auto, pause, auto, ect. I actually think that lowering damage would put melee at an advantage, at least melee with gap closers (so basically every melee in the game). Irelia would STOMP if she didnt have to worry about minions. So would javan. Gap close. Stand there beating on the ranged carry with all their abilities. So yes, that change would probably break the game, but not entirely for the reason you think. But I do just HATE the feeling of being less powerful than an npc for the first 10 minutes of the game. That somehow seems wrong to me in a pvp game. | ||

Now just to fit Blitz and Cait in there somehow... Also, new Riven Splash Art. + Show Spoiler + Like the new splash art. Riven now looks badass instead of incredibly awkward. Oh I think I just watched the same Dan Dinh heimer game. He is rather masterful with Heimer as it is. He queued up in a 5v5 so his team was way better than the other team. He was pretty fed by the time they started that seige and the other team couldn't really get close to him because he was so far ahead that his rockets were taking like 25% damage when anyone got close to his turrets. I'm thinking his rockets were more scary than those turrets over the walls. | ||

That somehow seems wrong to me in a pvp game. It's more like the first 6 (in-game) minutes, and it's not just one, it's 6 npcs :p Creep damage is fine. It stops you from just right clicking to win for the first few levels and adds depth to the laning phase. | ||
