Anyway, I haven't seen it in my games. I think it's successful in that Riot wanted to move him to more of a bruiser AP than a barrel slinging mage. He's probably a little overtuned at the moment, but I don't think he's far from the Renekton Bar.

That all might be true. (I think not really). But, the question you seem to be trying to address is whether he is more or less easy for Riot to balance (aka make Orianna/Caitlyn-like) Gragas.

Anybody know why Korean ADs are using 4 Attack Speed glyphs?

I think they run 11% attack speed on something on ads, been using it and it's pretty good for really aggressive trades in lane I guess. But then ogn midlaners don't run mr/armor and instead go hp/lvl seals and ap/lvl glyphs so who knows lol

I think he meant why is it 4 and not 5 or 3 rather than why they are using different glyphs.

It probably has to do with early auto attack DPS efficiency (before your AS/level scaling kicks in, early AS is really strong for continued DPS) as well as easy rhythm for laning trades. If you can move from CS'ing to being able to zone with your auto attacks faster you can do a better job denying/poking while in lane. Especially compared to someone who is not. Not sure how strong it is relative to power, but since AD's tend to auto all the time in lane, it can't be that much weaker if not stronger.

Hmm... interesting, I may be getting more greedy with my ADC pages at the expense of MR hahaha

On a side note, here are Rekkles' runes for ADC from patch 4.5, I think they're still pretty current:

I don't know why but I've lost every game every time the server went down. Seems like I can't get a break.

Unless you died at level 2 or something and Riven has snowballed, she should never be able to dive you at tower. If you do get low enough to be dived, teleport will be better anyway since you can just back and teleport in again. If you're losing fights to Riven at level 12 because she has ignite, you're either really misplaying the fight or fell too far behind early (or both). Posting the replay would help.
Here's one video against Riven:
video no replay since I play on a mac, lolreplay doesn't work. also I watched a bit of the video and the riven seems pretty horrible. he also missed out on 1 melee creep in the beginning and allowed you to get 2 melees for free because of how late she came to lane. that is just really really bad. also what runes were you running? I was surprised you took little to no damage from riven's q combo- or she just fucked up auto cancelling because that shit only did like 10% of your health whereas the riven I faced fucking did like 60-70% with just one q combo. I have no problems vs bad rivens but any competent one is hard as fuck and I feel helpless.
That's not me in the video, but I believe it's just armour seals negating the damage. He also has 17.5% lifesteal at level 1 from runes and masteries, so quite a lot of sustain. It is a bit easier since the Riven leashed for Elise, but you can see that he does get chunked to around 50% HP from a Riven combo when she hits level 3 first. I think that you should be able to get the replay from op.gg, although I don't know if it works for every region.

It is a why any question. I mean, the difference is 2% and I don't really see that being an issue in trading. If it was, AD's would just arms race up to 9 of them. The only thing I can think of that makes sense to me is would be getting around the support boping casters to soften them up for the AD.
