I've bee playing some jungle Poppy and the spirit stone has been working well for me.

If I want to clear quickly at all I need to be using her abilities, and the mana regen has been VERY nice for that (in S2 I always just kept blue to myself :D)

I don't know which of the upgrades for it would be best on her though, never got that far :S

Popularity doesn't seem a particularly convincing argument against a visual rework. The real reason this is an odd choice is because Sivir has had the worst model in the game since forever. The Janna, Soraka, and Katarina models pre-rework were at least close to as bad, but there's seriously nothing else that's close.

You can at least argue that maybe they want to make Karma more visually appealing (inc boob job), but I don't really understand what about Trundle's current model or look needs an update.

Also, when they inevitably remake Nunu I'm totally gunning for Willump to just eat the kid and move on. Like, I totally don't even register he's there, the Yeti is the important part.

trinity was the best final item and overshadowed that I think

I'm not saying champs that don't get played a lot shouldn't get a visual rework, just that there are more pressing reworks at hand (like Sivir as your mentioned). I guess it's more odd because Trundle doesn't seem all that bad to me (or a lot of people for that matter)

The most practical choice for Trundle right now is probably just to get Black Cleaver, lol.

Cleaver being bullshit aside, it was already a good final item for him in S1/S2, and it has a lot better buildup/stats for him now (particularly since it gives CDR).

Unrelated--but does Spirit Stone's design really bother anyone else? I absolutely abhor buying an item like Spirit Stone that has no combat stats, but the huge % increase to damage vs. Jungle monsters makes it seem hard to skip on. It just feels like a situation where junglers are screwed either way--getting a Spirit Stone fucks over your midgame fighting ability because it's an 800 gold zero-combat-stat item, but NOT getting one fucks you over in the long run because of the difference in jungling speed with or without one.

Designing jungle around the assumption/requirement that you're getting Machete/Machete-based items really bothers me and feels like a cop-out solution to the issues of the S2 jungle.

people don't play trundle because he's ugly and his animations are all weird. a rework fixes all of that.

i dont know.

trundle needs to be really tanky since all he can do is walk up to an enemy, but decent clearing speed requires investment into damage.
i tried him in S3 jungle, but i didnt like it.

So I'm playing this game again since the recent expansion-patch thing.

Who is the hardest carry right now so I can purchase them? I tend to rage when I'm 8/0/1 and the rest of my team dies behind their own turrets during the laning phase.

Solution: just play champs where you can convert the machete to wriggles huehue.

Seriously, spirit stone is garbage. The few times I've built it I've been really pissed off at how weak it felt.

if you are 0-1400 ELO you'll get reported roughly every other game for SOMETHING. eventually enough ban spammers get your case you get banned. regardless of if you are deserving. just played a game on a low level account i got reported by a xin for something i don't even know, he got mad that i took mini golems while he was ganking top (on blue) so he raged at me all game and said he'd report me then said "enjoy your ban" before leaving post game he also intentionally just split push and ignored anything the entire game and never retreated just died to go back home.

people love to report for anything that isn't dick riding them.
