I'm really annoyed how liberally Riot uses the word "overpowered" now in these patch previews.

Good job on the spectator thing btw Riot.

They should say overpowered. Guardsman bob called them out on it saying they were lying when they said remaking a champion rather than being honest and saying nerfing a champion. If high level players consider someone overpowered it can be called overpowered.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

Hate it.

DFG change - God awful. Stop trying to make people buy the item and remove it from the game. Sole purpose of an item is to 100-0 someone. Remove it.

WotA nerf - Another case of over-nerfing something that doesn't need to be nerfed. Riot seems to perpetually be behind the times on shifts in itemization and champion power -- note the Atma's nerf when it was barely being built, the Skarner and Irelia nerfs in all the wrong places (and when they were only being picked a 'standard' amount*, the Wriggle's (additional) nerf when bot laners (the named abuse culprits) were barely buying it any more, etc.

*As I recall, they tried to use numbers about her being picked a lot in one tournament as proof of her being OP when she was usually being picked because of being a fairly safe (read: not easily countered) top lane, rather than some kind of "I'm going to split push 24/7 and still have every teamfight be 5v5" pick.

Morello's change - Could go either way. I find the entire concept of healing vs healing debuffs to be fundamentally flawed. Far too difficult to balance the astounding difference in power between 100% healing and 50%. Not much that can be done about that issue at this point.

Yi ult buff - Stop trying to make champions snowball harder and remake kits or remove the champions.

Ryze - Meh. If they're going to nerf him, they should buff his auto attack range/animation. Riot should just call the nerf like it is instead of trying to sugarcoat it by pretending they're doing us a favor by "giving him more build options."

Mr/level buffs - Could go either way, again. If you make supports too tanky for free in a world where they already find ways to succeed, you're just making a recipe for an overpowered champion. Given the shift in junglers taking 2nd blue again and the buff to Amumu, maybe a possible resurgence for him.

I hope drop in spectator redeems this patch.

^^ They are buffing Ryze's autoattack damage, and mana costs at lower levels.

I agree of much of what you said but I honestly like the ryze changes. Its not even that much of a nerf really as Q gains some AP ratio and E gets more damage. There IS going to be some choice in how you prioritize your items on him and the ult is a straight up buff. The biggest thing is the nerf on Q range more than anything.

Also don't understand your response to the DFG change. Is it just your personal dislike for the item or something else?

edit: I'm surprised they didn't talk about the new AP item. Is it not being included in this patch?

^for a "high elo" player you certainly don't know a lot about competitive/high level play if you think ryze isn't hands down the best mage. look no further than that blind pick game 3 of manyreason's team versus clg or whatever the other day. both teams urgot, olaf, ryze, by far the safest/tankiest/most damage laners in their respective positions. the nerfs are necessary even if it pushes ryze to an even less-played position in solo queue, because honestly we need to see more options in competitive play. i can't remember the last time i didn't ban ryze in ranked 5s lol

also lol at calling for master yi to be removed from the game. 'CONSISTENCY IS BAD I WANT RANDOMNESS' is all i hear. it's going to have only positive effects on making yi more viable competitively.

i do agree that riot is generally like 2-4 patches behind the trends by the time they nerf things, but isn't that true of all companies in all things? like WoW doing chuck norris ads last year, only 6 years after chuck norris jokes became a thing...

I really think there is just nobody playing dominion. I just started a smurf account, won two dominion games, bam, right back into the ten minute queues.

There are almost no players at really low summoner level since its so easy to get higher so the first few games on any new account have really long queue times. Thats my experience, anyways.

That makes sense. I've barely played it on my main and I have double digit queues there too though. EDIT: although, on my main, draft games.

I don't like how you have to paying ~450 gold for wota for only 8% spellvamp and the aura and exactly 0 extra AP. ~_~

wait
are you serious
the aura alone is worth 450 it's probably still one of the best items in the game economically
the extra spellvamp is icing on the cake, fact is wota has been OP for quite some time, hence why it's a perfectly viable first item on like 90% of AP champs. great when you're ahead because it keeps you ahead, great when you're behind because it makes your lane impossibly safe

As eager as I am for the new spectator mode, what do people think of the possible abuse of the new drop-in spectator mode with regards to using a friend to get jungle respawn timers for you? Even if he's 3 minutes behind, he is still capable of revealing the time buffs/dragon/baron are going to respawn that you would otherwise not know.

I wish they weren't making DFG more of an easy item choice :/ the way I've always seen it is that it basically lets casters buy an extra spell, albeit a high cooldown one. You are, for all intents and purposes, just buying a bunch of AP and CDR with the added bonus of an extra ult. I've always wondered why is isn't a more popular item, but now with the removal of the relatively useless regen stat, I can't think of any reason not to get it basically 100% of the time. inb4dfgnerf,

I can see dfg being built a lot on certain mana-less APs especially morde. Holy shit, now that's a scary thought.

People not buying DFG on morde/vlad because it has a tiny amount of mp5 are just, how do you call them, really fucking dumb.

Oh, I didn't mean that the aura wasn't worth it, because it is. I just wish the person buying it actually gets some benefit other than the 8% spellvamp. But people tend to like personal stat increases before team ones. I just wish they gave like 10 more AP to the person buying it.
