He seems like he's in a fine spot right now. The main issue I see is Riot's philosphy in how gold should be used and how it is used is two completely different things. They seem to think gold now should be used to power later where as the way people use gold is for power right now. It's the most effective way to use gold/advantages. Their jungle changes were made to put more gold in the jungle to allow "carry junglers". The changes did exactly that, it's just that isn't what they thought carry junglers were. | ||

Halving the range on it wasn't the right solution though (obviously) Pantheon non-ult ganks aren't particularly scary compared to other junglers. | ||

I thought the whole issue with Pantheon is his ult ganks being too strong while jungling. You can't ward against him like you can with TF. | ||

I really hate playing with or against her, she has this funny interaction where "she's good until she's bad", meaning your team does fine as long as the Nidalee is landing occasional spears, but as soon as a minute goes by without a spear connecting (nothing to do with Nidalee's skill, all about the enemy paying meticulous attention), you get wrecked. my personal opinion is shes one of the worst heroes in the game, if she hits spears she does damage, if she doesnt she provides almost nothing outside of her heal | ||

It's just that Lich Bane was bonkers. | ||

Karthus: 200/180/160 Shen: 200/180/160 Twisted Fate: 180/150/120 Nocturne: 180/140/110 Soraka: 160/145/130 Pantheon: 150/135/120 Not sure why they don't just up his ult CD to 180/150/120 if they want to hit his ult. | ||

Presumably his AoE does more dmg to champions than minions to prevent jungling/waveclear; but then Riot was like "hey we want more single target damage in our jungle" and now they're like "oh wait no we didn't" Easiest way to nerf Pantheon/Lee/Elise in one swoop is to make all the camps like 5 medium strength dogs. | ||

Riot just can't seem to get the asymmetrical balance of gank jungle vs. farm jungle right. The Wight gives more farming power specifically to single-target junglers, but by nature of their kits, almost all of said junglers are better gankers while the AoE junglers are better farmers. So suddenly you get a scenario where ganking power does not demand as much of a sacrifice in farming power as previously was the case, which throws of your gank/farm balance in the jungle entirely. This isn't the first time the gank/farm balance in the jungle has been completely awful either. | ||

Because if Pantheon doesn't do anything early game, he is dead weight. Not sure why they're surprised that Pantheon is doing things early game. edit: what yango says below too | ||

The 2000 range thing was not a good idea, I'm sure we can all agree. Alternatively, make it so it can't be cancelled. Pantheon is a real man, men don't cancel ults. | ||

So does Soraka. But if you reduce Nocturne's s CD on rank 3 by any more he will be hilariously broken. | ||

In theory it's easier to fuck up a Grand Skyfall so I guess they wanted it to be less punishing to whiff one. On the PBE they messed around the time-to-jump and travel time so it was net the same, but you spent less time playing dragonballz. I've read they reverted the longer travel time but haven't heard anything about the channel. Lowering the setup time should be a big enough tradeoff for a higher cooldown imo.

Or increase the damage to monsters on Golem Spirit could be a decent out. Currently they are looking to lower it on Lizard, but that's really only a half measure. | ||
