Targeted damaging spells draw minion aggro.
Champions with spammable targeted spells, like Pantheon and Cassiopeia, put opposing laners in an awkward position: fight back and draw minion aggro, or just take the punishment they hand out. Changing this mechanic will make those champions a lot more intuitive to play against, as well as easier to balance.
I feel like this is going to work out badly. For example, how do you lane as Kassadin?

I feel like all spells should draw aggro...

Oh god the Nunu changes went through

You don't. They took him out and put him out of his misery. Dam crazy.

The difference being Cassio can E in lane to kill the enemy, while Kassadin has to Q in lane to not die.
How does this work with Lucian Q, will I take aggro if I use it on a minion but hit the enemy?

I think Nunu is a trap, he was only slightly useful in a team with autoattacker carry, otherwise totally obsolete, now he will be slightly useful with more champs, but still only slightly useful, not full garbage, but not strong at all

Nunu is useful but you have to put some amount of faith in your teammates and there's not much you can do if they suck.
|
dam, this will be weird playing support...
really need to try that.

Ah yeah Jinx buffs, I love that champ. Prob not enough to make her competitive, but enough to play in yoloQ.
Nunu gets a 40% AP buff on targeted champion? Is this some kind of a joke? It caps, but that's still retarded. Cass is going to be laughing all the way to the bank, now she gets MS and some free AP to make running from her impossible. Not to mention Syndra...

You're wrong about this because Nunu is not a conventional jungler. He's a jungler with strong objective control and neutralising the opposing jungler by running around the map warding, and consuming big jungle creeps when he sees the opponent out of position. His ganks aren't that strong, but he's also a cancerous counter ganker and he shuts down melee champs in a 2vs2 situation incredibly hard. Now his ally in the 2vs2 situation will be dishing out extra damage on top of bonus MS, that's quite a big buff imo.
His teamfight is mediocre, I agree, but there's a reason people like Bengi ran him to great success. Smart junglers can abuse Nunu hard, your normal yoloQ guy will probably fail miserably on him.

Why does everyone have to be generic badass #47, what’s wrong with Clint Eastwood get off my lawn once out of 130?
|
Nunu Azir going to shoot up in priority in pro games lol. It's not like Azir wasn't already high.
|
Nunu buffed Zoe would be absolutely terrifying. Anybody remotely squishy will die to a long range Q.
Other stuff like Diana or Kayle and of course azir as well, stuff that double scales off both the attack speed and AP.
|
Zoe doesn’t need ap to one shot my dude

The more I look at this new swain the shittier it looks. I don't mind his abilities, some of them seem pretty interesting. It's just his visual design is just so bad. It's just red/black noise. Vlad works as an edgelord because he feels more like a goofy caricature to me. He makes cheesy punies all the time. This feels like what happened with Kayn just being edgelord anime douche. Not a fan.
Instead they deleted Swain and introduced a Vlad update lol.
|
You know they'll remove the puns if they ever remake Vlad, it's just that his voice lines are old.
