You just get to say what you feel comfortable with when you feel comfortable with it, it's not hard to read the last page of posts anyways. Speaking of Trist Q, they seem to be removing mana costs on attack steroids for some reason. I don't like it, it's more mana trivialization like the Kayle ult buff. And speaking of mana trivialization I don't know how the crap they want to balance Kass with manaless W and essentially manaless Q and E because of the insane mana restore, his only skill with a relevant mana cost is stacked R. Nerfed R ratios actually prevent PBE Kass from doing as much ult damage as live Kass with the mana heavy RoA/Seraph build but they insist on keeping the low R cooldown. I'm at a loss as to their thought process. Wheel of Kassadin is right, they're changing him every single day and it's making me dizzy. Might as well just wait until he hits live. I think they're going for "X skill defines this champion, we don't want them in a fight and not be able to use this." Kog doesn't work without being artillery. Trist doesn't work as an AD without her attack speed because of 0 ability scalings. Irelia does crap for damage without her true damage. | ||

Every champ has defining skills that they should use in a fight. It just removes an aspect from the game and does nothing but make it easier. | ||

Fair enough  The one I find most hilarious is Ryze. His ult costs 0 and he builds nothing but mana. | ||

Is the change compilation list bascially the patch notes, or do they pick a few changes from it to implement (and maybe a few not on it?) I'd say about 95%+ of the changes that are on the PBE when the patch comes out makes it into the patch. Sometimes there are things that Riot will add to the patch without putting on there. This late into the patch cycle the PBE is pretty settled and near ready to ship. As always with the PBE, the changes might not stay the exact same or might not get changed at all. Nothing is guaranteed until it's in official patch notes. | ||

The range nerfs are also dumb. | ||

As a result I don't understand the mindset of this change. Is a lower damage lower cooldown Q and the ability to leave impure shots at 1 point really so powerful that the ultimate had to be nerfed? I'll also have to test and see if Q screws up your impure shot stacks... in which case I really can't see in what universe these changes could be considered not nerfs. | ||

From base damage + impure shots you get like 5-9 magic damage per shot depending on rank and level. Live ratio is .35 bonus AD, PBE ratio averages to .27 AD at 16 (a bit less at earlier levels) except the bonus damage is magic which is bad news for MF (I remember the change to all-physical actually being a big deal for her).

What do you mean by "if Q screws up your impure shot stacks"? | ||

Q applies all on hit effects so it applies impure shots, so that would have been awkward. Just another case where reading the wiki would have saved time and consternation. | ||
