I don't mind Debonair Vi on its face as an idea, but the splash art makes me dislike it. Debonair is just as much an attitude as it is a look. Being collected, confident, and charming. I wish they'd have gone with different art.

Is CLG getting help from Riot Korea with ID's? If they start with unplaced ID's, they won't get the most out of this training period. Considering how big the account boosting scene in KR is I'm sure they can get them under the table.
Or even a smurf account(s). from another korean team. Plenty of them have several accounts with full runes and champions.

You do realize this is Vi we're talking about, right? The champion who has in-game emotes and lore about her saying she basically is a, "punch first, punch hard, Caitlyn asks questions later" kind of girl? Her pounding the poker table in rage (probably at Ezreal for taking most of her chips) fits her just fine.
Also, the casino/club they're in looks like the same one where Battle Bunny Riven is from, if the purple-ish background is any indication. I really wish they did lore short stores for some of these skins, the stories for some of them would be hilarious. I guess that's what fanfics are for.

Yes I know Vi's attitude doesn't fit it to begin with, which was already discussed. Attitude can be changed with the voice overs though(which other skins have done), which leaves the art still not fitting the idea.

With the big 3 junglers nerfed, I think Nunu could start seeing a lot more play. I've started to play him a bit, and he feels really strong already. Nunu already sees a decent amount of play. I think he doesn't see more play because he takes a lot more finesse to play properly.
He's the 3rd least played jungler in the game, beaten out only by Sejuani and Zac. He was picked 0 times in the OGN quarter finals, and has been picked 9 times in the NA summer LCS. Also, he's one of the easiest junglers to play.

Speaking of Zac, if Riot wants to make him viable again all they have to do is give back the tenacity on his ult and he'd be a viable tank jungler.

not at all... his clear/dmg is beyond shit lol the last i played him i remember clearing doubles and burning all 4 pots and still being at 1/2 hp which is just terrible and quill coat is terrible

no irelia nurf. do not approve.

i really dont care about solo queue stats. Besides, Nunu requires a high level of teamplay and vision control to play well.
I'm also pretty sure Nunu got picked quite a few times in groups during OGN, i'd have to check though. Either way, I know for sure he sees far far more play than shit like Hecarim, Maokai, or Skarner.

I now know how Dade felt at Worlds. My Lee Sin, Elise, Thresh, Nami, Lulu, Yasuo and Ziggs got nerfed (albeit some are small). 
Any thoughts on the new sona? Everybody has been telling me that she feels weaker and I haven't had the time to try her out for myself. D:
|
From what I've seen/read about new Sona, she's weaker if you don't get a 2nd AP item on her (assuming you get spellthief's edge as your GP item) but if you get even a weak 2nd AP item (Morello's for example) she gets really strong.

you aren't juggling his blobs well enough if thats a problem, you should be spamming w so much you can't possibly take damage. picking up the blobs to reduce its CD.

Elise murder aside, I really like this patch. I hope riot continues with a philosophy of small incremental balance changes rather than the wild swings we've seen recently. And reverts on stuff that was overnerfed. One of the few times tbh.
I love how whenever Riot reverts something, somebody goes "one of the few times" when it's more common than people think.

No, no, no. That's where the stupid fan pairing of Riven x Zac came from with the stupid Battle Bunny splash.

He was picked/banned 0 times in group stages. Even Skarner was picked twice.

no. the problem is machete now gives dmg based on autos and reduces dmg taken, the +10 phys dmg change hurt his first clear A LOT as hes obv not an auto based hero and then you are going into quill coat which still doesnt help his clear* but instead gives a thorn effect which is terrible early on. when he was good machete gave the 10% bonus dmg in addition to basic attacks giving +10 dmg and at this point machete still built into spirit stone which gave the 20%+ bonus dmg which helped him a lot

One of the things i want to try is the new Jax attack animation, it'll make his early game just a little bit better. Cool. Still reading over the other changes though, it's ridiculous how much they changed

CLG is currently 2-1 against EG this split, so CLG-B is going to need it if they want to end 2-2.
