EPTShe jungles quickly. Most junglers with AoE magic damage tend to, given how Wraiths are the bottleneck camp for a lot of junglers. The question is how her laning is going to be, and the trend with resourceless champions is that being resourceless tends to make for extremely strong laners.

She still sounds like a better fit overall in top lane though. It's just silly to say "a full clear is meaningless", considering how rarely most top junglers do a full clear anyway. | ||

Caitlyn nerfs? I don't really understand she wasn't really wrecking crap. "We're gonna buff Olaf" -> nerfs him hard instead? "We're nerfing Graves" -> Barely touches him? "Shaco is getting some buffs" -> Instead nerf AP shaco directly, AD shacos mid jungle, and then boxes overall, because some players are stupid and make Shaco Bushes--and some even stupider players walk into them and die? And of course Wukong, who is oh so clearly underpowered now (/sarcasm) getting some very good buffs. What faith I had left in Riot is gone. They have absolutely no clue what they're doing with their own game. :/ | ||

Caitlyn trap was changed because it's stupid to get caught on a trap you didn't even step on. I do agree her Q nerf is weird, since it's not like rank 4/5 piltovers are what makes her strong in lane. Olaf change is arguably a buff, since now you FORCE a cc on him and leave out any option of baiting ult and disengaging. Graves "nerf" is retarded I agree. He's still ridiculous. They talked about changing Shaco mechanics after releasing the preview, because they realized 1.5 sec box is too strong. Wukong was buffed because Riot can't possibly keep track of all up and coming trends. He only started to get some notice after all the tournaments in the past month died down and people had time to practice again. I agree this buff is a lot but don't fault Riot for this, since he really was under-represented and not doing well until very recently. | ||

Caitlyn piltover was completely fine before. It's a relatively easy skill shot to dodge, and only really does tons of damage if you get caught without it going through minions first. Olaf "changes" still make him totally a "press R" champion, which was his problem before, and with a shortened duration is still his issue. You can't bait his ult now, I suppose, but that doesn't change anything about why the champion was having issues. The Shaco buff was too strong, no doubt. however riot seems to not have any ideas what to do with the champion. He was really fine before his first "bug fix" set, and since then they've been changing numbers all over the place. I honestly don't understand why they don't just fix his bugs and leave him alone. :/ | ||

I don't know about her solotop. She's resourceless which is great, but she's not exactly a hypercarry (her base Aoe damage is fucking stupid as it is) and I don't know what exactly you would do top except push lane and throw fireballs at people. -shrug- | ||

I cannot take their money. I cannot take their exp. this is especially annoying against late game characters who require teamwork to stop because, of course, it's solo queue. that is "good game design" if you're aiming to make a casual multiplayer game. it is bad game design if you are trying to make a game that people who enjoy winning through skill will play competitively. just because you work at Riot doesnt mean you get to make the rules as to what is good and what is bad when it comes to game design. If you really knew no one would care about a graphical update to a game that is older than the sun. Im sure you guys will laugh all the way to the bank, but I'm done spending money on League and again, the second DotA 2 comes out I'm gone unless something major changes with your supposedly well designed game. Just my 2c. | ||

One would probably have to have an "aggressive playstyle" with Shyvanna in top lane. These shaco changes are a little scary. Has anyone else seen the recent influx of smite exhaust shacos pubstomping? | ||

We REALLY need a who's who list for this forum. Moonbear is a wrenchy, not a Rioter. Smash is really good, but always take his statements about champs with a grain of salt because you never know if he is talking about a champ he irrationally hates. Shitcombo takes no prisoners when it comes to stupid comments, ECT/ | ||
