Either way Shen blows post rework and he's not worth picking at the moment, he probably will until he gets buffed or everyone else is nerfed so hard around him that he's relevant again (Which is actually how they balance top and jungle picks) I think Ekko and Maokai will be fine because there's nothing really there to replace them atm. Swain is getting up there but will probably keep getting nerfs before he's very popular, Fizz is getting some momentum but you'll probably see him build burst assassins in lower solo queue anyway because tanks aren't flashy. I suspect that Riven and Irelia will sneakily make it back into the meta while tanks transition back to the jungle after all the carry jungle nerfs

I don't even think Irelia is going to be that sneaky, she already has good numbers and the triforce changes are just a flat buff to her

New Triforce is horrifying on Irelia.

What's new tryforce just CDR instead of crit??

more CDR and attack speed

Libertine posted:Ekko and Maokai both got some thick nerfs on this patch. I think the new top lane terror is going to be Tank Fizz, who was already really strong. Poppy got brutally nerfed several patches ago and I don't think she's a power pick at all anymore, she's sitting at like a 46% win rate and extremely unpopular. Ekko and Maokai are still going to be totally fine. The former lost a teeny tiny bit of damage and an irrelevant amount of stun duration in lane (it will make him slightly less effective in team fights maybe I guess), but he's still just as unapproachable for any melee top laner and Grasp of the Undying still exists so he'll be just fine. Maokai is in a similar camp. You are still probably correct about Tank Fizz popping up more (though I've not seen him), given that the perception of the scope of nerfs by the masses typically is greater than the reality.

Champion.gg had an interesting Veigar build with swifties and movespeed quints, which I've been having great results with. The extra mobility is great for safely farming up, and lets you set up a lot of cage plays that would otherwise be impossible. Build utility / CDR, still delete people mid game. Veigar: boring to some, fun to others?

Anyone who thinks farming permanent ap off angling last hit Q's to kill a creep and harass the other laner is boring is a crazy person Leaving the laning phase with 150-230 free ap and the most terrifying hexdash on the team owns so hard

its like 10 minutes of focused farming and then you're nuking dudes like crazy. Also it's fun to set up double-hit Q's to either harass the enemy or farm two minions. and again, veigar makes the already pretty nice and bursty hex items a hilarious nightmare for finishing off runners or getting in range for a cage. Guess it's just a matter of whether you like the traditional combo nukers or the eight-button flashy dudes.

Boys I got a theory and that theory is Manamune, new Trinity Force, Black Cleaver Urgot. Tell me how wrong I am, because I'm not sure I want to be right. TF loses the parts that had low synergy with Urgot's kit (AP / Crit), and gets more CDR. TF/BC together can make a full 40% CDR cap. Could round it out with Tank Boots and 2 of LDR / Maw / GA. Hilariously according to CGG on a tiny sample Urgot is the highest win rate ADC right now.
