you need to queue with a friend and win (or maybe you don't need to win, but you do need the friend)

Really? fml. I just want the Diana and Riven Lunar Revel icons but all my friends quit playing league for the moment. So I need to do at least 4 games with a friend in.... something like 18 hours? 2 on Aram map, two in Dominion or 3v3?

"For players in a duo, if either player is chosen as first pick, the team captain will be assigned first pick and the other member of the duo will get whatever position the captain received from the randomizer"

I understand it like this: If the captain (whatever this means) get random 1st position, then the other guy will also take 1st position (the other member of the duo will get whatever position the captain received from the randomizer")

Bitching ahead:

Another patch, no mention of Elise. Still waiting for more data on that one? What a joke. Oh wait, she was too small! Giant nerf right there.

Finally the Xerath rework, time to see how it turned out. One of my favourite champs. I hope he still has the magic that drew me to him in the first place. Don't want all that skin money to be wasted! lol

Kayle ult costing no mana. What the actual fuck. I thought Riot would realise it's dumb, but they obviously are idiots on this one. Guess it follows with "we want ults to be gated by cooldowns, not mana". Free ults for everyone coming up?

Yeah Gragas is bullshit. Let's give this guy bruiser stats/mobility/sustain, with crazy ratios for insane AoE burst/utility. Seems like a good plan, can't go wrong.

Good news is that those Yasuo nerfs seem reasonable. He did seem to get his shield insanely quick, even when just walking around.

Probably a bit salty because I just had teams that threw two games in a row (including one where I was stomping as Liss), but this patch is... frustrating.

Gragas Q is fine imo. His ult is what needs to be looked at, again... The last cdr nerf obviously wasn't enough : it's still a skill with low cd (for an ult), insane ap scaling for an aoe spell, and almost instant damage so very hard to dodge. I'd either reduce the zone it actually hits (so it's less "let's throw it in the middle of the team without thinking twice") or just reduce the ap ratio.

I also think the last E change while considered a nerf, was overall a buff.

Didn't they mention the MS buff isn't tied to the shield being up aymore? Or at least it was like this at one point, maybe it's not the case anymore, since it's not explicitly stated in the patch notes.

If the 2nd person (the invited) gets first pick, then the captain (the inviter) will be first pick, and the 2nd guy will be swapped with whatever pick the captain received initially.

And if the captain gets first pick, then both the captain and his duo partner will be first pick. M2 is right here; Riot messed up their wording. Instead of "if either player is chosen as first pick" it should say "if the invited player is chosen as first pick".

Sometimes I feel like Kayle is one of those champions that Riot wishes they could just delete.

I'm pretty sure if they could delete a champ it would be Eve.

Didn't one of the devs state a long time ago that if they could delete a champ, it would have been Vlad?

I say this because every time Kayle comes close to some sort of relevance in the metagame they immediately nerf her..

.4 ap off of her only nuke for a measly buff to her already weak heal disgusts me to be honest.

If by 'coming close to some sort of relevance' you mean 'Kassadin levels of pick/ban' then you would be correct.

Kayle is retarded atm, if you can survive the initial laning phase you just take off like few other AP champs can.

Pretty sure that statement came out sometime around when they were saying that sustain for top lane was toxic and bad for the game. They went around nerfing sustain everywhere from every old champ's kit(most of them mana constrained mind you), and then they released a whole string of champions that were effectively resourceless and had sustain. They'd probably delete a bunch of other champions before they'd delete a manaless champ at this point.

Still haven't figured out that resourceless and sustain don't go together, because it's so hard to hit a balance between overbearing and useless.

Every single time Kayle starts getting played again, within the next patch you know to expect an instant nerf. In the past year Kayle barely got play time except for a bit during the summertime when Zed was popular (and even then, not really) and the reason she keeps getting nerfed is because she gets picked a tiny bit in pro matches. Fucking awful balance team working at Riot.

And I'm not trying to say that Kayle isn't too strong at the moment because if winrates are indicative of anything, she definitely needs to be nerfed, but I think the way that Riot is trying to balance her is terrible.

At one point, Sejuani had one of the highest winrates prerework. It isn't a strictly valid metric.
