"Forcing a mistake" is nonsense anyways. Either an action is the optimal play, then it's not a mistake, or it isn't, but then it isn't forced because there exists another option. It depends. The goal should be "if you put enough pressure on someone the likelyhood of him making a mistake increases" - That's usually what people mean by saying "You should try to force mistakes". However, the basic problem in the wall of text above is: "lol game won by baron fight not by fight for inhibs lol". Nerf baron plz. well the only things that teams try to stand their ground for are dragon and baron. teams will even cede inhibs.
And blue buff, its funny as hell when purple team cedes dragon then their mid goes Leeroy Jenkins the moment blue team steps up that ramp to the golem.

I hate Akali so much Her kit is just abusive by its purest definition despite her energy limitations.

If the QoL changes go through, which they should since they were in patch preview, she's probably still going to be in a good place. Oriana wasn't really even a bad champ prior to this patch, just underplayed. I'm just waiting for Riot to slowly overbuff Xerath then laugh when he becomes fotm and everyone's wondering where the fuck he came from.

And the q has flat manacosts which makes you be able to go double dorans into dcap, which i prefer to RoA.

He still looks very strong, similar to darius though with slightly lower base armor. The skill they will nerf first after release will be his E. On level 5 20% of the targets maximum life as magic damage... uhm... yeah... Vayne is getting jealous about that... Then Vayne is like, lol magic damage, I do True Damage, so she isnt really jealous.
I think he'll be a pretty snowbally hero personally

With the last change to orianna (50 flat mana cost on Q), it was viable to level Q to try and dominate lane at the expense of teamfight AoE damage. The patch preview mentioned a cd reduction on her Q but I guess that didn't make it into the patch. The other thing that you'd have to see is the global cooldown change on orianna. Changing her responsiveness might do more than the numbers would tell. Also, her passive was apparently changed but there's no mention of it in the patch notes. It's possible that not everything made it into the patch/preview but i'll be hopeful that they left stuff out. Overall though, a lategame buff, her W+R is going to wreck teams that group even harder than it did before, something that's pretty good. Her sustained damage through using Q is going to go down though which I'm not quite liking.

If he can be played as AD bot I'll instabuy I think

I get this feeling that if Jayce has sufficient range, maximizing W for 2.5 attackspeed on 3 shots for 40 mana cost on a short cooldown is going to be pretty lethal, making his level 1 one of the strongest in the game (Ashe I feel is still stronger, crit+volley is absurd at level 1). Since I'm assuming his W isn't affected by skills like ezreal's W, he'll be a pretty damn good counter to nunu lanes in trades although he'll still suffer in protracted fights.

Idk, last night I was playing a bunch of Ori games, maxing Q. Didn't really have trouble too much trouble with mana. I will probably start maxing W now depending on how much they buff the CD on Q.
And nobody will start playing Xerath, he is no fun at all.

All the fun of dominion without having to worry about stupid cap points.
Edit: Regarding Patch Notes
Alistar - doesn't do anything...at all
Gragas - nice little QoL buff. Not really needed with a defensive rune set up, but definitely nice for lane phase.
Janna - that's quite the hefty nerf. She'll still be good just because her kit is so strong, but that's a significant hit.
Lux - interesting buffs. Doubt it'll completely change how much she's played, but definitely nice little mana buffs.
Naut - it's a start
Orianna - they don't list the passive change or how much the CD on Q has changed. She's definitely gonna be OP now, the question is just how much
Soraka - holy crap, I guess they're neutering the most picked supports. I predict a big(ger?) influx of very aggressive supports like blitz/leona
Athene's - probably unneeded, but ok...
Ionic - *shrug*
QSS - decent nerf, but there needs to be some decision making for carries to make: more MR and shield from banshee's, or utility from QSS. I think it's a pretty good change.

Wtf, 30% armor AND resistance reduction for Jayce, on a low cooldown? Just wtf. And 20% max HP in magic damage is really obnoxious, obviously it isn't on such a short cd as Poppy's, but it's also a lot more at high levels.
I don't like the dredge line change for Nautilus, I bought LB 10 days ago on a smurf and was kinda shocked about distorsion huge cooldown at early levels, Dredge already felt very long before you had CDR, so now I'll feel pretty shoehorned into shurelya's or glacial and similar stuff rather than wit's or aegis even if I manage to get fed. Meh, really. Only being able to use it once in most teamfights is... :/
I don't feel that Sona's buff will change a lot of things, except maybe to charge a powerchord. Her mana issues always came from W for me, not Q. Same with Rammus: I'd rather have some defensive bonuses from DBC back rather than some mana. MF on the other hand is pretty nice, her E was barely leveled or used because of that. Lux's cost reduction is quite huge too.
Janna's W cd nerf is the biggest of all imo, being able to have pretty much always a spell available was a big strength in later teamfights once you had some levels in each one and CDR.

akali's thing isn't a buff, it's a needed QoL thing. not gonna make a huge difference on her since no one levels E anyway
kennen range nerf is a godsend, oh thank heaven riot. maybe kennen will be beatable top lol jk he still has no mana costs, cc, and a free escape
alistar nerfs are gonna hit his jungle really hard when he doesn't have blue. he can basically ONLY gank if he wants to gank. he'll go oom trying to clear camps in between ganks, so that's good.
naut changes are good, ty riot
lux buffs are pretty hefty. maybe lux is a counter to orianna or something and they felt guilty about making orianna OPrianna so they buffed lux? idk
caitlyn's ult will soon be the only global if they keep extending it's range and decreasing everyone else's 
ALL FOUR OF THE NEW SKINS ARE FUCKING AWESOME

Anyone know what's the range on Jayce is in ranged mode?
