You were never supposed to be able to proc your explosive shot with anything but your autos, in my experience anyways. It was a recent patch that stealth changed that. oh and am I the only one who's kinda disappointed that Malz's Q does all the damage in 1 strike instead of 2 now? Having it deal damage in 2 strikes meant that you could cast it through banshee's veil. If it does damage in 1 strike then it's always blocked completely by BV, but the damage is more consistent. I guess since no one really builds BV anymore it's not that big a deal but... | ||

edit: actually, urgot's lvl 1-4 just got a hell of a lot more dangerous looking at acid hunter's damage adjustments. | ||

edit: actually, urgot's lvl 1-4 just got a hell of a lot more dangerous looking at acid hunter's damage adjustments. No it didn't. If anything the reduced range just nerfed him all around. Have a look at some Reddit math: assume level 1 urgot with +16 bonus AD and 51.6 base AD damage pre-change: 10 + .85 * (51.6 + 16) = 67.46 damage post change: 50 + 1.2 * 16 = 69.2 assume level 18 urgot with +120 bonus AD and 112.8 base AD damage pre-change: 130 + .85 * ( 120 + 112.8) = 327.88 damage post-change: 170 + 1.2 * 120 = 314 if you build him glass it's more damage late game, if you build him tanky it's less damage. the main nerfs are the range nerfs on 3 of his abilities. Reminds me of the orianna nerf, they reduced her ball range by like 100 then she went from FOTM to never played. | ||

1. Kassadin lvl 6 ganks too strong? 2. Malz/Eve/Twitch/Xin get long-needed retooling... are any going to be viable now? 3. Urgot nerfs were needed, but, I still don't like him. An ult still = a kill at any time so long as the Urgot is not an idiot. 4. Still don't like the support GP5 nerfs. Support meta is not going to change (it will never change without a significant retooling), only, being able to carry as a support gets even harder. | ||

Support meta is not going to change (it will never change without a significant retooling), only, being able to carry as a support gets even harder. 1. It's a change that doesn't really do shit. You never use your R to damage in 75%+ of scenarios and when you do use it the damage shouldn't be very different from what it used to be. 2. Malz probably won't see much difference in play; if he does get popular the changes won't be the #1 reason why. Xin got crazy buffed; I personally think he'll get nerfed a bit. Eve still has shitty base stats but the new skill set might make up for it if she can jungle effectively. I don't play Twitch. 4. I feel like they wanted to circumvent the whole everyone buy gp10 no matter what from coming back, which was starting to happen. Honestly though, I felt like the HoG nerf was really stupid and unnecessary.

The voidling AI fix is nice and will definitely help his total dps, but Malz's problem was never his damage. The Q change is probably a net buff since you're now guaranteed the full damage if you hit it (before it was possible to hit for only half the damage since it was split into 2 strikes). The only downside is you can no longer cast it through BV, which probably isn't much of an issue since no one but Ryze even considers getting BV in the vast majority of cases now. | ||

I really hate the Malz changes in the sense that I find playing against him is so annoying. He is like the Teemo of APs- | ||

Basically it's so that bad people start off by playing bad people (if why Riot implemented this feature was your question) Compare this to in HoN, where new players start off seeded at 1500 normal-game Elo. And if you play with friends who have played before but are under 1500 Elo, you don't even lose much Elo from the loss (because of how their formula does Elo change when you are significantly higher rating than your team) making it rather frustrating to normalize to an Elo where you encounter other proper noobs. | ||

Malz essentially only has 3 skills past laning phase. Any competent team will get QSS on their carries if they're against a Malz. Not only that, but he fell out of popularity because champions that had good matchups against him became more popular. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if Malz became popular again. He has really powerful aoe damage and good lane control with Q+E. His Q is an insane 3 second aoe silence if you're good at hitting it. Using his R becomes harder to do as people grab QSS, but it can still be useful if you hold on to it until the right moment. | ||

Currently as it stands at 2k elo in order to play one game you have to go through 3-5 picks and bans since someone ALWAYS dodges since 30 min penalty really means nothing to most people. It is getting extremely frustrating to get a great team comp, great communication between players, and then just get dodged since someone didnt like the teams. | ||

I'm pretty sure this happens at all Elo. I have 2 accounts at 1k and 1600 and it's the same. Get "op" Shen or malph and dodge. Hard counter mid or top... Dodge. The new system is very bad. It seems when teams troll no one dodges. I don't dodge because a 20 minute surrender is qucker -_- | ||
