New hextech gunblade heals for % of all damage including true. Yorick ult does 1,000,000,000,000,000 true damage. Hm

gunblade is unchanged, it already has that passive on live and no it doesn't work

Unless I am doing the math wrong there's a not insignificant chance for you to get the exact same dragon 3 times in a 30 minute game. This seems bad, to me.

They said the buffs will stack with themselves though. So if you get 3 of the same your whole team is either:
Hitting people with a burn that hurts really bad
Healing/Regening a good amount of health/mana
Hitting towers really hard
Moving around the map really fast

I like all of those things

Actually huh, yeah, that's a good point. How does the new dragon setup interact with Morde?

Edit: Also I assume that Vel'Koz's E is typo'd considering it looks to be the same as before in the video.

theres a very good chance morde either cant get the dragon at all anymore because they dont bother to fix it, or it does work and that + the new items make him a meta midlaner somehow until they emergency fix him.

Needs heart dragon. Also, instead of just picking one at random and spawning it until it's dead, the dragons should come in a fixed order, and leave if not engaged for like 1 or 2 minutes, to be replaced by the next one in sequence. That way, your team can wait for or skirmish until the one it wants is up, and then has a limited window to fight for it.

morde's already a secretly good toplaner if you max W first and take stormraiders surge. i assume this applies to midlane as well though you get more bad (ranged) matchups there

when you go mid you use the w on the raptors for the heal, apparently its pretty strong?

e. also they said earlier in the month that veigar's ult was getting changed so the changes they list on the "additional changes" section might not be everything for those champions

e2. "Note: Voidlings no longer have a leash/returnTP range." lol

I'm still the Hecarim jungle purist and I hate the fact that anyone even started to put him toplane because that poo poo results in big nerfs to a very fun jungler but... yeah. Hecarim's a very strong, snowball champ that when he's ahead he really stays there and puts out a shitload of damage building mostly tank. IBG gives him an almost old Skarner level of stickiness but Tri makes his charges extremely painful.

the only reason i play lane hecarim is because i want to play more hecarim and sometimes i do not get the jungle

I mean, this is a good idea but I can see why they did what they did. If you are just waiting for your team comp's "optimal" dragon buff, it will result in both teams trying to pick comps that work with whatever dragon comes up first. At least in competitive that's what it will boil down to.

Edit: And the whole point of re-doing dragon like this is so that games dont become stale and same-y. you will have to adjust the way you play depending on what dragon comes up, and every game will be different. I like the dragon changes.

maybe it will be good maybe it will be bad

probably end up with cases where your team comp sucks rear end comparitively because the dragon you want just doesn't show up until 20 min

That's a good point. Maybe roll the dice on the first spawn, and then cycle them. I just foresee my team comp really wanting red dragon, and theirs really wanting blue, and all that spawns is blue, blue, blue. We have to fight it or they get a huge advantage, but winning gives us next to nothing. I'd much prefer if we had the choice to let them get blue, and plan to fight for red, or maybe try and drag out a lane skirmish long enough that they miss the blue.

At present Morde gets regular dragons from the standard elemental ones and a bigger dragon with more health for killing the Elder. Looking into variant dragons based off the element killed is on our list of things to look into as possible mid season followup, it won't be in for ship though.

dash move hextech thing is completely useless btw

malzahar with 45% cdr has voidlings on demand all the time, which means he basically always has 6 voidlings up

so basically when malz's visions jump the voidlings attack the new target and spawn another voidling each time? so if you nurse visions through a wave you have a temporary army?

Bholder posted:

they gave his passive AP scaling and if i'm reading it right if it procs off ult it won't stack up again but instead all ult damage on them becomes true

also his Q marker that shows where he fired it only appears for him now which is QOL but will make eyeing its range and dodging it a bit harder

The new spawns have the same remaining duration as the initial spawn. All the spawns that occur from the first will die at the same time, so there's no refresh involved.
