Probably RIP? I skimmed the page for all of 10s and it looked like a bigger change than any of the champion changes.

RIP Ardent, you will not be missed. Also correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't those stat nerfs on Sej pretty huge too?

Riot pretending to buff Udyr when really it does nothing.

They should buff his tanky stats late if they want to help at that part. Give turtle a shield that scales with your own hp. Otherwise just make his early game better because that's where he's better suited to be good.

I think ardent will still have a place, just not in every single game.

It will definitely be painful. 5 armor is no joke in the jungle.

I'm just glad that I won't feel compelled to rush it every game.

Since when was Rammus ever intended to be good against "physical damage" rather than "auto-attackers" (due to the damage rebound)? I've never seen them state that anywhere. Oh well, gotta get the narrative going.

to shift some of his power out of lane and into teamfights

Now where else have I seen that... oh right, a bunch of changes for a very long time, and pretty much never the reverse except for scaling AP mids that were too weak in lane.

yea he's not, thats supposed to be malphite and rammus is anti AA'er but they just make stuff up. They continue their assault on tanks with rammus and galio, making them super niche to the point where they can only exist as overpowered in a game or underpowered. How about we let people's skills do the talking instead of an inherent huge advantage just because you picked x champ vs y comp? It's a pretty lame design philosophy.

I agree with VA that that appears to be the goal.

Jungle camps are all worth the same creep score. One consistent issue in judging the impact of a jungler v. jungler match-up is that creep score can mean vastly different things. This is especially true if one champion specializes in single target camps while the other is an AoE monster. Now each camp in its entirety will grant 4 creep score, which generally matches the camps’ value and should provide for easier comparison of a jungler to their direct opponent.

That actually blows chunks for tracking

I think they should add another camp or 2

What is their point?
"This makes it easier to compare junglers"
Who's comparing what and when and why?

with emotes and now this. Riots bringing toxic back, lets go. easier to flame your jungler now. no longer just for not ganking. clearly the main reason.

but for real adding a "large monsters" count to the scoreboard accomplishes literally the same thing, without screwing up tracking or muddying the waters for laners who clear a camp occasionally.

It indirectly increases fog of war, thus decreasing the stratification of skill related to vision at high levels of play. This has been a major theme of most of their vision changes over the last few offseasons.

I definitely miss S3 Support. because the good games you feel so much better than the other team. but now im kind of like, just the person that sits around and watches. I feel like a WoW Pet.

So now i play Urgot support to feel alive again. lol

I'd be interested to see what a teamwise cooldown on vision wards would do to the game. like obs wards/smoke in Dota.

With how little you should be dying in league, i suspect it'd just make people play more safe rather than try to make plays.

I loved the bitch support just because I could take over the whole map vision and bitch slap the enemy support vision. I doubt Riot would ever have shop cooldown items. They may not have the tech to do it or it'll take a hell of a long time to sort out.

Reading that Rioter saying they dislike sightstone being item supports need every game was just disheaterning. Vision is one of the most rewarding aspects of it all. Seeing that map light up, tracking where enemy is, allowing your team to do all kinds of aggressive plays safely. That's all the great aspects of being a support. Just buying items you can do at any other role. Supports and to some extent Junglers are ones that work with the intangibles. Why change that? Why is that not good enough?
