Ashe Hawkshot buff, yay. Not like it helps her when Renek/Shy/Zed/Khazix/LeBlanc/any other gap closing meta bruiser/assassin jump her ass lategame, but I always loved her playstyle, so a little more gold in the early game might be a reason to carefully introduce Ashe back into my playgroup.

I think the pick order change is going to increase toxicity in champ select. It's nice for duos that you don't get first/last or last/last every time, but making the experience even worse for the solos isn't worth it imo.

What if Riot just puts in extremely stupid changes in the patch notes so that people pay less attention to the fact that they don't know how to balance overpowered/broken champions

As someone who duo-que's more then he should because you know I am the toxicity/ruining the game. Nothing changes.
I am still going to get pushed into roles I don't want to do/don't feel overly comfortable and I am going to watch a jungle renekton get killed by his red buff.

If you were in soloQ you almost never got first or last pick anyway because most of the time a duoQ would take them. This doesn't seem like any deal breaker for soloQ. 90% of players won't even take notice and the other 10% wouldn't know the difference if they never read the patch notes.

Just re-read the patch notes. Xerath ult 5600 range...
The baron steal highlight reels are going to be amusing, they've basically given him sunstrike.

Not really true, I get it ~20% of the time playing alone, or roughly there about. Premades tend to be (at least in my experience) the last two picks more often then they get first and last, and on the occasions they do, I know the first pick is going to be higher rated then most people in the game, and will almost always do well, if not straight up carry the game. (Whether they do well enough to make up for their duo partner failing is another question.)

Pick order doesn't change a thing whats do people not like about it?
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

playing on pbe, xeraths range was bonkers, then they gave him a lot more damage then said, yeah, he's ready to go. he wasn't really overpowered before riot added more damage, but dang, any amount of damage from 3k+ range without travel time is ridiculous.

before you were rewarded with being able to secure your role by being higher elo than all your teammates, now you don't get anything, riot just shit all over its playerbase and people are just happy to disregard it

While i guess it depends on your level i definitely think Cait is the best ADC currently with Jinx nerfs, she destroys almost all lanes except with leona support.

Joining old matchmaking gives you a 1/5 chance of being the highest elo on your team unless you hold #1-4 in challenger.
Joining new matchmaking gives you a 1/5 chance of being the first pick on your team always.

Are you a smurf account for Wild Turtle?
If the answer is no then this changes nothing for you.

there is no reward, you aren't actually higher ELO. you are just math illiterate.

The only thing this changes is so you can't guarantee first pick by duo qing with someone much lower than you, so whatever. It's kind of an "exploit" anyways.

Nope Duo queue is still a 1/5 chance with the new and old system.
ok ok slightly lower then 1/5 for old if your with a high difference duo queue in your team.
