Also Riot, the reason why Supports are always first picked is because counter picking is really strong in this game vs solos. It doesn't affect the laning and jungling as much as you think, since you still have the flat +25 mana regen bonus. However, it does reduce late-game sustain and pushing power, and it gives people a stronger incentive to buy +mana/mana regen items. | ||

Why would they do such a thing. The things they nerfed were making games boring to watch. I know I've watched less recently because more often than not, the wins the team fight @ 25 mins just goes on to take down a bunch of towers and inhibs in the next 5 minutes. | ||

Sooooo, you can use Help, Pix! on an enemy and then just auto attack minions and they take undodgeable damage they can't get away from? Sounds awesome (if not too strong). | ||

People picked her because the other supports have really been beat hard. Soraka is still really strong, but she struggles really hard against kill lanes, especially those containing Leona. Sona was probably overnerfed, but her early damage was far too high. They need to compensate a little in other areas. Taric imo just has a problematic kit. Alistar is still quite strong, and obviously there's the rise of Nunu who amplifies your AD carry such a ridiculous amount (probably too much). Hard to say what affect the Blue nerf will really have on gameplay. Maybe it'll reign in the big abuses like Swain/Anivia, but we'll see. Viktor should definitely be seeing a lot of play. His ult already does too much damage and now that you can out-trade thanks to the shield, his laning should be quite powerful. Irelia probably overnerfed. Hurts her already shitty early laning without having much affect on her later game that's too strong. How'd they take this long to change Olaf's tooltip? Rammus changes probably won't affect much, but it'll still be obnoxious to play around. Shaco definitely not nerfed hard enough. Need to nerf the kit (deceive range/stealth duration/bonus crit, etc.) if you want to reign him in. Shen definitely not nerfed hard enough. Ult needs to be given a range like all other global ults that teleport. Shyv just needs a small nerf to her W and she'll be balanced. MoM should be very good for AD casters like Renekton, as well as the obvious Mundo. Getting really tired of junglers being nerfed because of lane abuses, but not sure how they can fix that problem. Not sure how much the heal nerf will change things. | ||

>blitz buff is perfectly in line with what he needs. a landed hook should spell death for enemy, since it's such a hard skillshot. great buff. >fiora - wgaf, she's a garbage champ, she needs way more than this to be playable >garen - excellent, anyone who watched my stream during my garen-spamming days knows how much i hated about this bug (and all the entertaining rage it created for my viewers back then  )>irelia - more of a nerf than i thought, THANK GOD. she might be beatable now, MAYBE. >janna - definitely not something that affects how i play her, but i can see why better janna players than myself would be outraged at this. BUT i think this will force you into building janna somewhat AP instead of standard support, which is a good thing imo >jax - see fiora >rammus - ok >rumble - i hope the "fix" was that the 6 item slots are now completely randomized. this would probably be more accurate anyway, as you can literally build anything on rumble and pentakill with his ult >shen got hit so hard. they basically buffed him to a playable level (which everyone considered an overbuff) and in the span of what, one patch, have nerfed him to irrelevancy again? thank god i didn't spend any time making/updating a new shen guide this, combined with irelia nerfs (one of ww's other hardest matchups beside shen) should make ww the unquestioned king of top lane again. full circle, i guess? i am, of course, not counting bullshit no-mana-cost assholes like rumble kennen vlad ryze etc >shyvana nerf not really needed, but i don't think they'll greatly effect how i play her. i do think i noticed burnout lasting way too long at some points, hopefully this will prevent me from stealing blue accidentally from my mids now. would rather just have a playability fix that second W toggles off your burnout tbh >victor is going to be overpowered if they keep buffing him, actually he might already be, but who cares i'm really glad that you guys are all viewing the new item in a blah/underpowered sort of light, because i think it fills a fantastic niche and i can see myself buying it on pretty much any champ that scales well off of AD and gets in peoples faces. lee/panth/shyvana/mundo/riven are all gonna love this item, finally gives you a reason to build hexdrinker against double AP blue buff nerfs are a good thing, let me justify taking blue on skarner instead of giving it to my mid, ty good-guy riot NOW I CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY ME SOME LULU | ||
