My biggest issues with the plants has to do with the health packs (Karthus ult is already irritating enough to land nowadays) and the fact that they are activated with autoattacks.

If the bomb plant is even slightly prevalent then melee junglers are going to get bullied like crazy.

Yeah but the question becomes why exactly put them in to begin with? They at present from the video clips basically show how to skillfully run away or survive by autoing some stupid object and it bails them out when they were dead to rights. I understand catch up mechanics and ways to prevent snowballing but it's going to be really frustrating to lose a guaranteed kill because you outplayed your opponent but they slapped the yummy yummy fruit tree and it spawns five healing goblins that make an unpassable wall for the enemy and heal you even though you hosed up in lane

I'm still a bit miffed thay they think that because people "figured out" the jungle and had to add some new kitschy thing to it just to change it.

I don't know where the idea people "solved" the jungle came from within Riot but I think if they look at worlds there is proof that even at the pinnacle of competitive play the jungle hasn't been figured out which means it definitely hasn't by anyone of a lower elo.

e; what's funny is there was even more jungle inference and variety before they got rid of lane swaps

I'm eagerly awaiting the hot fix that removes this mastery completely because DOT mages become unkillable after building a Rylai's due to the slow effect constantly refreshing the shield.

Good thought but I think Rylai's passive is going away so something else will end up breaking this mastery.

New shield mastery seems like it's going to make Sion an unkillable rear end in a top hat if it is any good at all.

spent the first 20 minutes of this game tilting hard and feeding 5 times, untilted myself, then went 19-3 by not positioning like a retard (usually) and just ripping a fat ult across the enemy team. Im now 6-0 with MF over the last week, i might actually be able to force my ranked w/l back to positive territory using her

Nice. I had a very similar game last night where I started by feeding Annie for some reason (basically because I was being an idiot) then turned it around.

Also Vel'koz does a lot of damage when you have a frontline.



e: also if you're a midlaner and you see that another laner on the enemy team doesn't have flash then it's your constitutional duty to gently caress them up over and over again until they tilt off the rift.

The Rylai's passive is just too drat good for what it does. It mucks a whole lot with individual champion power budgets in very unpredictable ways (see: Brand going from being "kind of scary" to "ridiculously oppressive" as soon as he completes Rylai's) and devalues certain champions (like Karma) who have innate slows as part of their kit.

According to that link apparently there's only going to be a month of preseason. 2017 season starts December 6th (2016).

for champions that want to buy a cc item like rylai unless its stats were competitive with dcap everyone would just buy dcap instead. getting all these short range mages that want to buy cc to buy active items would make them a lot easier to balance. icy cannon isn't really designed for them though so i dunno, since most of them would want to get protobelt too.

Aside from the shark thing on pbe seastone trident is a next hit ability that does more damage if the target has been bleeding from the passive for two or more seconds. It also has some cdr when you kill a unit with it or something. I think maybe urchin strike always applies the active or something too

It's hard not to see that W change as enabling tank fizz even more than before. It doesn't really make sense to me if they're trying to make him an assassin. But w/e

Wits' End -> Frozen mallet of course

also as a player who chiefly plays champions that do not use Rylai's ever (or shouldn't anyways) such as Morgana Karma Orianna Lissandra Sona Janna I wouldn't mind seeing it gone.

The only thing that will hurt is when I decide to start playing Taliyah again and it stops existing :geno:

The idea behind it is to give more burst in exchange for reducing dps (if you were constantly autoing throughout the active on old w it would add up to more than new w I imagine), and to reduce the value of AS on him because on-hit Fizz naturally builds towards tank rather than assassin.

If the W gives you a reset or mana return for kills it might give fizz a reliable way to clear waves finally. I still think jungle fizz is the superior version, but this would be really good for his laning.
