What a super premature statement. Not sure if troll. He's been out for less than 12 hrs. But anyway.He's definitely going to be hard to place in a lane and even harder to play in competitive. I think he definitely has unique utility, but he might be useless in this metagame where everything is only valuable based on it's relationship to sieging earlygame. Maybe his waveclear will be sufficient enough to make him playable, we'll see.


As an aside, I doubt games will become any less stagnant than they are right now with these changes. IEM proves that playing w/ the same siege champs is really the only viable way to play this game right now at the highest level (slumping SKT sweeps lol), and I really dont see anything in this patch to change that. Early turret hp still matters way too much. At best we will see J4 or Hec + 1 or 2 random other champs (Kennen, Orianna?) get added into the meta pool by my personal prediction. Otherwise we still gonna have Corki Lux shitfests mid lane. Corki still does all the things they used to complain he did (hypercarry level damage with no risk). Cait is going to become more relevant with Kalista changes.

No reason to pick vayne, twitch, fizz, irelia, riven, draven, Xerath, veig, Yasuo, Kass or Cass. All because they'd get shoved into their turret early, lose it then get snowballed on because of their poor waveclear or ability to rotate or inherent risk to pick (why pick Xer when you can pick Corki and do more damage with valk for safety?).

Id personally love to see some of them come back just to lighten things up a bit and give me some dynamic gameplay to watch again, but those seasonal changes really blunted things man. :/
