What? One name? Who are you, Seal?
Well, I registered for replay.gg, but nothing seems to be showing up from my first recorded game.

It was a complete loving disaster. I took Amumu. Just got shitstomped. Should be fun.

(I know in advance many things I did wrong, for example, not switching to the level 9 red trinket immediately, a fight in particular in which I apparently spazzed out and did not chase Lee, then flashed after him, then missed him, then went back after Orianna, and oh god it was horrible. But again, it's not like I'm sitting there in game, thinking, "Hey, I'm going to do clown car poo poo." It happens. I freeze up or something.)

But I'd say the game as a whole was pretty representative of the shitshow I've been playing and seeing lately. If the thing would load, so that I could link it.

EDIT: Oh joy, here it is!

http://www.replay.gg/search/na/SlyvanianFrog#2140469562

Again, I'm not pulling punches against myself. I literally recorded the first game I played after posting here today. So I did not try to cherry pick in any way.

Damage lowered to 50/80/110/140/170 from 60/90/120/150/180
Total AD ratio increased to .4 from .2
Lamb's Respite (R) is now self cast on Kindred rather than being able to be used on an ally.

What do you do with a drunken Viking?

That's actually an interesting change. If you build Warrior (e.g. aren't depending on the bases as much) you end up ahead, but if you're Devourer, you're behind until you complete your Maw or Steraks.

Which champ do you want to main/spam games with? It looks like Volibear is your best champion. Whatever champ you want me to review, you should play a ranked game with them ASAP so I can review something from this patch.

I'm trying to get you a Voli game but people keep banning him or my entire team goes AD. I'll get you one before tomorrow, though!

Those are good champions. Focus on playing just one of them unless it's taken/banned away, then if you have to play one of the others.

Graves is bullshit. Tanky af and does damage. He doesn't have to make the tradeoff between damage or tank because he gets tank from his skill.

Graves is fine and is merely the latest in a long line of ' beat you 1v1'; top rammus has an extra 3% win rate over him and is much more infurating to play against for 60% of the cast. Nobody cares about you and your top lane poppy that can't kill him in lane

Poppy has a +3% winrate vs Graves compared to her average. In fact she's pretty much one of his biggest counters.

My build when I'm ahead is ghostblade into dirk into hurricane.

My I keep getting invaded by a lee sin build is first item PD into a ghostblade.

I stopped being ahead shortly after building my first dirk so my build became quite the mess. It's super rare I stop being ahead on kindred.

Graves is a tanky champion thats does bullshit damage in 1v1s as well as crazy aoe who gets tankiness from his damage items and then even more from his e. He is terribly hard to kill with deaths dance and phantom dancer. A bullshit champion.

Reducing it's base damage but increasing it's scaling encourages Kindred to buy Warrior, instead of Devourer. Although I do think it needs another numbers pass, they should probably lower the bases further if they want this to do anything.

It's total AD. They're adding .2 total AD scaling and only removing 10 base so it's flat out more damage if your total AD is above 50, which it will never not be. Since you still get AD per level while building devourer you will still enjoy greater scaling.

Graves is still a little too strong but he's not really a big problem, just another manifestation of the larger trend of there being way more damage in the game this season than last

Also, armor got more expensive and MR got less expensive. Graves, Talon, Zed, etc. are much more viable when maw of malmortius is really good.
