Darius, Yorick, Jayce notably. Well after the nerfs most Jayce seem to max Q so the "mixed damage" thing isn't true anymore and his burst is way weaker. Olaf could be one but since his E is actually easy to outtrade and lacks means to fight from afar (Q kinda weak, no engages like Darius' pull) his case is a lot simplier. Darius' passive also forces me to take MS quints or a single Q hit means I won't be able to run from him, even if he doesn't pull. I should probably experiment but since those lanes are so annoying and unfun to play against it doesn't really give me motivation.  Got smashed by a WW as Olaf the other day, I ate some damage on an early gank and that made me unable to trade with him as I'd end up under 50% and his MS boost makes his Q untradable with (it's got more range than E anyway). I didn't want to back immediatly as I'd miss a lot of cs (the gank made the lane push) and WW would be a level ahead of me through the exp. while he shown he'd be aware of it and abuse his Q being a level ahead too. Ended up dying for his 2 summoners and a back from his dive, but then even stacking MR I wouldn't be able to match his Q sustain. I wouldn't have been as bad without the gank, but I still think I'd have lost the lane. All this time that I thought Olaf beat WW (who even got nerfed since)... never too late to learn. | ||

Leashing isn't that elite but it probably was when it first came out. I completely disagree. Leashing is not some cool micro trick that requires talent to pull off. It's something that you either do or you don't do. What no leashing will do is give the rest of the team more leeway to do sneaky shit at level 1, which actually will help separate good players from great players. | ||

It seems like the changes in general are going to favor ganky mids. Less early jungle pressure, no leashes, better early game items, wraiths harder to farm, etc. How so? The important objectives of the map aren't changing. In many ways this, and the probability that few junglers will be able to start boots, will curb level 1 activity slightly. The only thing that's changing is that single best mechanic in the game for learning, "Huh, little things I do can have big impacts for my allies." is being removed. | ||

When I play voli top, I flip the blue backwards when leashing to give it more distance to run. I have to be sure I'm not the closest to blue as it reaches its leash range when I'm a melee trying to add damage to blue or else it aggros to me. There are games where people make bad leashes and cause blue to insta reset. There are people who try to do a "super leash" where they just run back and forth against the wall. People require leashing to be able to do golems without taking too much damage on blue side. Malzahar, elise, heimerdinger, and annie can all use leash mechanics to have their minions tank damage if done right. Leashing adds a lot more to the game than not leashing. It's not that big of a deal as now mids will just stay longer and give a bit more damage. There still may be ways to leash properly. But having less options is worse than having more options. | ||

Depending on how they implement "attacks the closest enemy", i can imagine a lot of stuff you can do with coordination if at least one of you is ranged. For example, making golems just walk back and forth all day, never being able to hit them by changing who is closest to them. | ||

When Darius suddenly gains +18 MS from just boots1 because his Q hit you, he can either chase you (and apply W on top of it if he wants) or run from you if you don't have a slow to stop him. | ||
