I'm curious how nasus comes out with all these item changes. also do people remember renekton? I haven't seen one in weeks since I came back.

Renekton didn't get nerfed into the ground, and people still play him some. Top lane just started favoring beefier, objective or team-fight focused champions, which is naturally not where a guy with level 2 all-in shines.

The cleaver combine cost reduction will help Renekton a lot

renekton is good but to really play him effectively you need to have good wave management. he does a lot better if he can starve the enemy laner by freezing and hard pushing at the right times and delay them outscaling him as long as possible. tiamat getting its passive back makes that a bit harder as he really wants it to unlock his animation cancels.

If she had a passive she'd be unstoppable.

Or like 1.5 Teemos in range.

How are they bugged? I tried Swain out and he seemed pretty fine. Downright fun with his new Q giving him some halfway decent wave clear and his E being the new 1 point wonder.

his R has a delay after activation now, which is kinda bad since swain has to stay in range with the ult. vlad's Q doesn't work sometimes.

I had a renekton in my game earlier today carry harder than I've ever seen. We had a semi-afk support AND an ADC that alternated between afking and intentionally feeding and we still won.

4sure. He's gone from guaranteed Q's on any creep/hero for AP, to skillshot creeps/heroes not behind creeps for ap, to heroes dumb enough to stand underneath a slow nuke or dumb enough to stand in front of creeps for AP. Tons of damage.

Also: Goddamn is Malz's new passive -really- obnoxious. I wish I had him unlocked because that + new minions are going to dominate the lanes until next patch/hotfix.

Cat of Wealth and Taste

Trip report: New Zyra feels really drat good. It was hard to tell if it's an overall buff or nerf based on the one game I played but she just feels really smooth to play now. The base movespeed buff is noticeable, especially in the early lane phase, and the plant spawning passive makes her level 1 a lot safer. I was surprised how quickly they start spawning as the game goes on, and the spawn radius is forgiving. It means you always have a couple enraged plants going in her ultimate, too, which isn't always easy to do with just your W plants.

Still feels like Zyra, but more plants. Plants everywhere. Yay for plants!

He can still farm creeps for AP with his Q, you know. That didn't stop being a thing. He just gets additional AP from harass and teamfights now.

Misread the notes; saw the "removed reward for blah blah" and didn't notice that it's just been baked into his passives' fruity name for having AP.

I don't think the prior assumption was unfair, considering most of Veigar's changes.

They buffed her q scaling to partially counteract that and her new q max/w max will let her have like an extra 3 spheres for her ult combo

I just wish they'd do something with Nami and her passive. Honestly, this is just typical Riot logic here. Cass has a tail instead of legs so she gets bonus move speed and can't wear boots because you need legs to wear boots. :lol: :lol: :lol: Hey turdfucks, all those things apply to Nami but she still wears boots. Seriously, way to loving go idiots.
