So I don't think anyone followed up on the GD yesterday talking about blue/purple side imbalance. Why is blue better exactly?

First pick, Baron approach terrain advantage, bot lane duo Dragon advantage negating purple's Dragon approach terrain advantage.

Blue bot lane can do an easy doubles, giving them a huuuge advantage in lane.
If you ever played against a Leona-lane which has a level advantage on you, you know what i mean.
You get zoned all day.

Sure, you can lane swap purples duolane to top, but then you are giving up on Dragon control.

Other than that top lane is easier to gank from blue side, and the opening on the baron pit makes it favourable for blue side aswell (2 wards and every entrance is covered).

Root cause is Dragon/Baron spawn.

I feel like the change to the Golem makes it pretty useless. The only reason anyone would get it is for the tenacity, but most tanks get mercs anyways. Otherwise there are much better defensive CD items.

the akali nerf is pretty huge. if you want to deal as much damage as before you need to have a major ap item + a deathcap or even more and that is long past midgame. also you didn't want to build her as offensive anyways. almost all her damage comes from q. she is now more of a niche pick i suggest. I don't get why they would nerf her that much. she wasn't like stomping or anything.

the other very big change is muramana imo. the damage you deal with it goes up alot for champs who like to get lw/bc or have innate armor pen.

That's not entirely true. Junglers have been getting tabis against AD heavy comps, or occasionally mobos for more ganks/roaming, or even swifties on certain junglers like Udyr. Golem makes it so that the spirit stone isn't entirely a dead end item and tenacity is a very useful stat to have; it allows junglers to go with other boot options w/out having to give up tenacity. Spectral wraith is kind of a trash item and elder lizard, while gives a nice dps boost, usually makes you too squishy.

Golem giving cdr over armor I think is a good change since you usually only get spirit golem when you have tabis, which provide some armor. Golem giving cdr also means that you can reach cdr cap as a jungler without investing heavily into cdr, which is extremely useful for the fotm junglers like Nasus.

Akali has no mana costs, has much higher sustain, and is better singletarget, and forces pink wards o_O Oh and is hybrid and can't be neutered with flash and of course is far easier.

I think there's a number of ways to repeat vote, according to riot they can be detected and discounted.
No I'm never serious.

Man, real shitstorm going on with Blizzard and their version of the LCS. Koreans are allowed to freely choose what region they wanted to play for, so 20 of some of the best Koreans are moving to America to playing in the NA SC2 WCS thing.

Did Riot require citizenship or was it just not feasible for Korean/Chinese teams to move to NA to stomp the LCS? Or did they not even care enough, the Esports scenes for LoL and SC2 are very different I suppose.

Blizzard still has time to backtrack I think (hope?). Also wtf OGN and GSL on at the same time :/ so hard to choose.

Glad they nerfed Akali because she snowballed in all the wrong ways. Not that good if your opponent knows exactly what to do but 1 fuck up and akali is going to destroy you over and over without being able to do anything.

Only champion that seriously needs nerfs still is Thresh. He's balanced in the hands of most people but he scales so insanely well with skill, the stuff you can do with him is absolutely retarded if you play him well enough.
