Its gonna be really fucking annoying IMO. Makes using chat to communicate really hard every time someone goes back to base.

I don't think we will see: Two_DoWn BOUGHT A HEALTH POTION!
Probably just legendary items, IE, MBR, BV... and so on

I believe at this stage it's aura items (Shurelia's / Zeke's etc) and maybe wards / oracles.

isnt there a wide agreement on shen being too powerfull at the moment? I like that riot approaches this issue with caution though.

How does everyone feel about jungle mundo? His clears are just CRAZY fast, has good ganks if you run exhaust, but I feel so weak in the mid/late game, don't feel like I have any place in the team fights. I am also undecidied as what I should build after HoG and Wits end. I think going atmogs might be the best bet so your late game is better. but god perma slowing someone with mallet is so satisfying.

Small golem camp
Movement Speed increased to 300 from 180
Medium Golem base damage increased to 59 from 54
The golems will now be much harder to kite, meaning that bot lane will have to actually take some damage while they take golems. How will that change things?

Riot just wants to make it so getting blue side doesnt equate to an automatic lead for bot lane. It doesnt change so much as equilize.

Just bought Jarman, time to dunk people.

How the hell did dyrus just dunk on that yorick? I mean yorick is considered a good solo top. He can beat champions with high sustain. And now that yorick lost to blitzcrank that isn't considered a good solo top. Im confused o.O

Just got to 3150 IP. Got 4 champions left to buy at that price. Shen, Olaf, Sona, Leblanc.
I tend to play junglers most of the time, so either Shen or Olaf is what it's going to be. How is Olaf jungle atm?
|
Is Ocelote always this ragey? It's kinda annoying to see him behave like the jungler and the laners whose lane he comes to gank are at his disposal.

Its pretty crappy, hes in the same boat as shen really, they are just way stronger top.
I would pick up olaf and learn how to play him top, then use him as a counterpick to Shen, he does really well and the new buffs on olaf axe look nice.

Olaf is good and getting some buffs/nerfs coming up this patch. Overall I actually think he is quite strong if you build him like a tanky dps (wriggles-tri) but most people tend to build him wriggles-atmogs, which is much more expensive and completely shuts down the window where he can dominate (midgame) and instead shoots for the UBER late game where he can dominate again. I find wriggles-tri actually lets you have a midgame AND an uberlategame. And he is getting buffed, although what the ult change is is debatable (im kind of torn myself, but I think I like it, especially since my build needs a way to survive magic burst cuz I have lower health).
But if you actually want to PLAY the champion you buy, go with olaf, cuz shen is permabanned in ranked.

Some people DO play Normals, you know.

Shen ain't permabanned at my elo 
~1350 Euw. He isn't banned in most of my games. He was in the shen free week though.

Oi. I do play normals. I just either use them to learn stuff (and fail badly) or to troll (and fail badly). There IS a reason Im the only 1700+ player with a 50-50 win ratio in normals.
Oh and Sobek- Olaf's jungle is REALLY fucking good. He has the fastest clear in the game ATM (seriously. 8 minute wriggles and boots is SLOW for him) can 1v1 anyone early, has infinite sustain, very undderated ganks, and superb dragon control.
The reason people think he sucks is because no one has bothered to try to adjust their build to not getting as much gold as solo top so he ends up useless the whole game long. Hence why you need to get bruiser items on him and not health items.

What do you run as masteries/runes on jungle Olaf? 9/21/0? And for leveling, Q>W>Q>E and then a priority of R>Q>W>E? or E before W?

I had been experimenting with armpen/armor/mrlvl/ad, with a 0-21-9 with buff duration for more axe spam that first clear with blue (which basically makes you the fastest clearer in the game). q-w-(q or e depending on if you are ganking)- whatever you didnt get (basically at level 4 you want 2 points in q and 1 in w and e). Max q, then e, then w. Idealy you have bits if not all of your triforce in time for your level 13 340 true damage. And you basically turn into a monster. After that build tank.
Just make sure you bring ghost. You need it badly to prevent kiting, especially before phage.

Thanks. I always liked Olaf's playstyle, so I'll probably buy him if he doesn't go free this week.
