[Patch 1.0.0.140: Darius] General Discussion

League of Legends v1.0.0.140

PvP.net v1.60
Normal Draft Mode
Normal draft has changed so that premade groups are not prioritized over solo players
Solo players have a 20% chance of being the team captain with banning powers and first pick, regardless of the premade status of the rest of the team
If a solo player is not team captain, the player will be given a random slot in the pick order
If players group up before a game, their host absorbs all of their chances, i.e. the host of a 4-man premade has an 80% chance to be captain
Ranked Solo/Duo Queue
The Free to Play rotation has been removed from Ranked Solo/Duo Queue
Unlocked Champions that appear on the Free to Play rotation will still be playable
You may now rename your buddy groups by double-clicking the name of the group
Fixed a bug where some buddies would appear to be level 0 with no information
Fixed a bug where the sound at the end of Champion select would play too loudly
Fixed a bug where swap offers in Champion select would persist into your next game

League of Legends v1.0.0.140
Darius, the Hand of Noxus
Hemorrhage (Passive) - Darius aims his attacks strategically, causing his target to bleed. This effect stacks up to five times.
Decimate - Darius swings his axe in a wide circle. Enemies struck by the blade take more damage than those struck by the shaft.
Crippling Strike - Darius's next attack severs a crucial artery. As the target bleeds out, their movement and attack speeds are slowed. Crippling Strike's cooldown is lower the more bloodied the target.
Apprehend - Darius hones his axe, granting him passive armor penetration. When activated, Darius sweeps up his enemies with his axe's hook and pulls them to him.
Noxian Guillotine (Ultimate) - Darius leaps to an enemy Champion and strikes a lethal blow, dealing true damage. This damage increases for each stack of Hemorrhage on the target. If Noxian Guillotine is a killing blow, its cooldown is refreshed.
