Good lord Syndra's mana costs are obscene. Never played a champ where I ran out of mana multiple times AFTER finishing Athenes grail....
I'll echo the sentiment that she doesn't seem that strong for how hard she is to land stuff and how poor her range is. I'll still play her because I enjoy playing more indie champs.

nonono northern front swain only swain
I used to main him a long time ago and have 2 pentas with him. Then they buffed him.

This patch is so bloody buggy. I've had like 5 bugsplats so far.

between drops and bugsplats I'm hardly even in some of these games.

Godly as in their effects, or how responsive/smooth they are? I always meant to try him mid w/AD quints+reds for E'n'auto harrass, plus CSing is slightly more rewarding for him than anyone this side of Cho'Gath.

holy shit fuck this update. these crashes are so frustrating.

Alright so far, what I've learned about 3s:
Pick tanky mages such as rumble or bruiser mages like lulu.
Grab a jungler that can take the two easy camps, lane for a minute, take the camps again and then recall. The minor buff camp is so stupidly hard to take early on in the game that I don't think it's worth taking until your third smite at which point you can begin clearing everything and ganking. Having smite makes your level 1 weaker but you very quickly catch up and surpass the other team in levels.
Have team help with bottom camp and then use smite on the top camp before heading to lane. The two camps give you a huge advantage early on. It does require in most cases that you open cloth +5 though due to the strength of the mobs or else you're going to lane with one pot at best. If you have a good pusher, push a few waves and then take the minor buff camp, recall and then, if it's the speedboost one, use it to gank something.
Tanky bruisers like udyr, mundo dominate since they can easily waveclear and then jungle. Mundo especially since he has such good escape that he can push to the enemy tower and counterjungle as well.
Don't play AD carries in general, it's hard to get enough items to crush in teamfights. If you do have a fed AD though, it's very likely you can win since it's so hard to catch people out of position.
Going to be hard to learn 3s well enough to hit gold while carrying my 1200 friend up but I think it'll be possible.

They're banned, every game by the other team =(
Also
http://www.reignofgaming.net/news/21653-unoffical-pbe-patch-notes-for-9-15-2012-the-news
New PBE patch notes, a lot of minor tweaks to lower tier ADs, nerf to jayce, vlad, yorick.
Also interesting, ziggs buff to 80% damage on ulti for the further targets. IIRC they tried buffing him this way a while ago on PBE and wound up reverting it, I wonder why they're trying it again.........

Or Rammus if you're playing against the likes of Mugi or GGod.

Ha, a range buff on Wukong's Q... cute. Looks like they're trying to reblance champions by *gasp* adjusting mana costs.

I usually pay more attention to the splash art than the in game model for a skin. Didn't like tyrant swain splash much so I never checked out the teaser video.
That is an amazing skin, didn't realize how much work they put into the animations.

I really dunno how Riot managed to introduce this corner bug in the first place, let alone migrate it from spectator to normal games.
Happened about 10-20% of times last patch, now it's up to nearly 80%.

I only have complaints about her Q costs and the range on her ult. DFG + her ult is hard to combo off

I dunno what champs you're playing. I run out of mana with Chalice on mana-starved champs all the time.
I'm probably late to the party, but I just wanted to bring up how brain-numbingly STUPID it is that Riot is hiding current ratings from view profile.

Her mana costs are probably on par with some of the older champs, which is fairly interesting, because of the recent "lol wut's this mana bar doing here?" champs.
