I know Methanar has already been singing the praises I gave Udyr but it can't be stressed enough if you're an aggressive jungler:

They changed the system to make it harder to get whatever specific champion you want so that more people would want to buy rp, as well as pushing for a more loot box based economy, since those are more addictive and in every loving game lately, even single player games.

A little? It's not really hard to do that but with red buff you stay fairly healthy anyways.

This is probably the idea but it's kind of hilarious how unsatisfying these loot crates are. Basically all they give you is a bunch of discount coupons which you may sell for funbucks or use to buy a specific hero/skin at a discounted price.

Its not in the patch notes because its part of the fact that you no longer have armor/MR runes outside of the new resolve tree, so everyone's much squisbier because they arent running around with a bunch of innate resistances from old runes/masteries. This has made some characters who do more 'bursty' damage such as burst mages and lethality-stacking assassins much harder to deal with, as you may expect.

Probably referring to stats not replaced by the absence of runes. Lots of people ran magic resist runes to survive early poke. Afaik riot upped the base stats on all champs to try and reflect the most common rune pages but they missed some stuff

most unfortunately the only stats midlane mages got was scaling health per level. No MR, no armor. You sorta get hosed if you get tagged with anything in the midlane now.

What happened was a combination of base AP/AD being increased for nearly everyone, combined with base MR/Armor seeing either very slight increases or very slight decreases over the standard and the loss of easily accessible early HP via HP yellows or Veteran's Scars. Most midlane mages ran flat pen reds as it was, so the effective decrease is only around 5 MR or so. This wouldn't be so bad if they didn't also gain an additional 5-6+ AP/AD over what they normally would've run (assuming they were running Offense), and if preseason runes didn't introduce a whole bunch of free damage sources (Aery, Comet, Scorch) and conditional damage increases (Coup, Press the Attack, Sudden Impact) that serve to directly magnify any lead an opponent has.

The result of all of this is that the game feels way more like rocket tag than it's ever really felt in any previous preseason. The most innocuous of mistakes - like walking within range of Sona's AA while she has Aery, Scorch, and Frostfang ready - can instantly lose you all lane pressure. Falling even slightly behind an assassin like Rengar, Talon, or Zed feels like dogshit, because their damage is greatly accelerated compared to old runes/masteries. Defensive rune options are highly limited without either loving up your keystone (Resolve) or effectively conceding the lane (Celestial Body). They either need to do another base stat pass or heavily carve away offensive rune power.

Probably 0-3 games per day on weekdays and then more on the weekend.

Even if you grind on the weekend you need to go play 10+10m of botgames on 2 other days to make the new system better.
