yea new botrk isnt only stronger because of the buff in stats but buildpath.

2 daggers in buildpath was so horrible for slot efficiency.

also not related to patch: does anyone know if your mmr goes down if you don't play placements and let your account sit?
my smurf was d5 last season but I haven't touched the account since.

One way to find out.

I don't like Ryze having skillshots.

I dunno, the 3s duration looks weak as fuck, unless the spell that triggers his passive also applies the cooldown reduction to the others.

But yeah, most important part:

Also afaik your Elo doesn't decay until you do placements.

I'm actually most excited about these ARAM changes

But yeah like I was saying, Ashe -> JuggerAshe, but if she does significantly less DEEPS than Kog'maw then she'll still be a crappy pick

Also, err... how does Ryze do damage precisely? His Q is poke, but doesn't seem like he has much damage in his kit, more AP than mana ratios now so he seems awkwardly squishy and with no damage.

Good thing people with real skill can still play champs like Vlad and Fizz.

I made a site thingy for urf's api challenge with a friend. I submitted late so it won't go in the showcase but anyone can take a look. It shows winrate for a champion by number of times that champ was played by a summoner in the 100k games collected. Hoping to plot it, make data extraction automated, and expand to summoners rift but for now it's what we got. ^_^

Anyone wanna help? It's all written in python.

Yeah I have to agree with that, reading the patch notes Ryze seems to be going in a weird direction. Looks like his E is taking over the damage. I'm too tired now, but someone should look into damage changes when buying RoA before patch and after.

And I'm going to pay attention to those BC changes.

Don't like Recurve change, Kalista already strong enough as she is in the right hands.

being permabanned in korea apparently isn't enough, kalista needed buffs of course. this already looks like a patch im going to avoid, RIP 5.7, a pretty decent patch tbh

Anyway crying about Ryze having one skillshot is a big overreaction (assuming that any of it is serious), maybe he will be possible to balance now. Also skillshots are fun, if I wanted point&click I'd play dota.

garen buff! go black cleaver.

How good is it really on Garen? I can see it as a replacement for Hexdrinker in some cases, but other then that I'm not sure. You don't want more than 2 damage items and usually that's Hexdrinker and Last Whisper for me.
