What the should have done is removed Ruby Crystal from Cowl recipe and replaced it with a Bead (the item gives regen after all), and reduce Spirit Visage health and price by an analogous amount. 400 health + 55 MR from one item is just too brutal vs APs. | ||

For competitive, it will bring out more 2v2s which isn't too bad. I'm not sure people are worried about the intended result so much as the hamfisted fuckery they employed to get there. | ||

Trist is better than both, but Jinx is most popular late game hyper(ish) carry. | ||

Veil will be better (first MR item) if you don't rely on any healing. I kinda like the nerf to Sunfire, because now you have to choose between EHP from Randuin or more damage from Sunfire. It'll become something that you might buy if you're ahead and need the extra damage to kill or to push waves, rather than the go-to tank item on anyone. | ||

Both are in a pretty bad position with current picks. Trist is better than both, but Jinx is most popular late game hyper(ish) carry. People like Jinx because she doesn't have a terrible dip/weak point like Kog/Trist. Also, I think Vayne is picked for a different reasons than those 2. In particular, while they all like to be able to freefarm, Vayne is actually really good at freefarming, because if they send just 1 person, that person will probably die to Vayne. | ||

As a duelist she's still among the best of the ADCs though there are good/better ones without her glaring weaknesses. But her lane phase, good grief. tfw you get a first pick Vaynes that then go up against a Caitlyn/Thresh lane and complains about it. I mean seriously. Seriously. | ||

I can't see Veil ever being a top choice for front liners (the only champions who will be buying an item like that early in the game) because the shield is useless when you are always in front. There are too many things that can randomly pop it off for it to ever block a spell you actually want to block. The regen on it might be better than I think though. | ||

Mana problems on Sejuani now completely nonexistant. Can Q every camp. However, interestingly if you try to take lane farm with skills your mana goes down fast. | ||

The present system where certain runes are far and beyond the best-in-slot greatly reduces any real specialization, as it is now the only real choices are what Quintessences to run and whether to take AD or ArPen (p.s. which is better lol). Armor Yellows and MR Blues are pretty much non-negotiable, which is boring. On January 16 2014 02:21 Shikyo wrote: Wow, just finished reading the patch notes and that turret change is extremely ugly. Like, really? Couldn't they even try to make it seem like a general change... It makes no sense logic-wise why top and middle turrets would for some reason take less damage than bottom turret, and did they even consider the effect this has on pusher vs roamer in midlane for example, where now you take far longer killing the mid turret when the enemy goes roaming? I think your last point is not true, since Turrets lost armor but gained a resistance to champion autos. So potshots on the tower when the enemy is there will take much longer to kill it, but if your enemy leaves and you push to tower with a full wave I think it might actually die faster. | ||

There are a lot of cleaner systemic changes that could be done to make 1v2 safer and more interactive for the 1v2 laner. Since 1v2 became a thing I've been expecting that Riot would probably not explore those options though. | ||
