forgot about vlad, acutally. he is chill.

but seriously, these don't have to be "omg so amazing have to play it everywhere" kind of champs. they can be mediocre/countered with minimal teamwork and just see pubbie play. that is fine. just give me some good support champs that I don't have to think in order to play

Yeah it's the best life steal, MR, and active defensive item in the game for ADCs. So there's almost no good justifiable reason not to put it in one of the five item slots.

I don't think I've built a Bloodthirster in a game of League of Legends since the Mercurial was re-tuned.

Bloodthirster has twice as much lifesteal and ~200 bonus hp. If you're getting killed by physical poo poo, it's a lot better than Merc

His W and ult look really good; I'm worried about how useless he will end up being if you can't fight around a place where you can easily prep your passive. And I'm honestly shocked that they didn't keep his old ult.

Prepping your passive seems to not matter the later the game goes since his ult will bring 3/4 pets with it.

as a completely unrelated rant, gently caress riot for taking away all of the do nothing champs.

when I was playing 4 years ago, some of my favorite champs were things like singed, soraka, sion, ect. Champs that I didn't really have to think about when I played with friends, just pushed buttons on enemies and things happened. Then riot changes them to make them more "interesting" or "engaging" or whatever. Now soraka takes a half of a brain to play, sion takes 3/4's, and singed is the only good champion left in the game. It's ridiculous

Old AP Sion owned bones, I want a game mode where you get to play all the reworked champs as they originally were. Using original art resources.

Reading between the lines on those patch notes I'm most worried about those changes to Diana and Veigar. Diana's E range going from 150 to 225 is an enormous range pull increase and should make it practically impossible to miss now. Excellent Veigar players are already pretty terrifying even if they are extremely rare, his passive now scaling at 5 AP per kill/assist instead of 3 AP makes me terrified to think of what a fed Veigar will look like.

P happy with most of what I'm reading to be honest basically they took a look at all the overused champs you hate to matchup against and identified key problems with their design that made em so strong. Ashe/jhin/sivir as adc's all needed to be taken down a peg, gragas/rek were way too dominant in the jungle, and gangplank was just dumb.

Diana's bad lol buffs are fine

"Sure, he's a not-quite-meta, hard-to-balance champ, but we think the biggest reason for Yorick's unpopularity is simple: Nobody wants to be a gravedigger."

Haha yeah I'm sure that's the reason nobody played the champion that was nerfed out of the game lol!!!

The thing that concerns me about diana's change is it's obvious the intent was to make it better for teamfights but it's also obviously going to function as making her even more sticky in a chasing situation. But no one plays here anyways so she prolly could use a buff.

yorick's gimmick is that he could 1v1 any champ post level 6, and infinite sustain.

anyway, thanks for the veigar buff. Games can finally end quicker when your teammates won't stop shoving their faces into Veigar's stun cage ad getting one-shotted.

Based mostly on winrates, the weirdest thing was a riven buff. She is >51% in diamond already.
