Like I mentioned on the last page, Revitalize working on Shields/Heals casting on the user might be a net buff to him assuming it works the way I think it does (which is that it'll proc on self-heal), turning him into a monster.

If you're a fan of Yorick, play him this patch because there's never gonna be a better time.

I just want to have a ban when I'm playing toplane again.

Built in voice chat is coming but will only be available to parties, which is pretty much the best way they could have handled it IMO

That... honestly makes implementing in-game voice chat abso-loving-lutely pointless. I'm already on voice comms with 90% of the people I premade with, what I need is the ability to make my idiot jungler realize that I'm at 15% health, 5% mana, my TP is up, that Darius has just bought and returned to lane and all his idiotic gank attempt is going to achieve is give him a double kill. At least give us an ability to party up with people in the champion select.

What was the hotfix

Morgana nerfs, what else could it be? 8 less HP per level, +2 cd on W and her passive healing's now a static 20% at all levels. Possibly enough to sink her as a midlaner again.

they might as well, targeted spells already draw tower aggro which as someone coming from DotA feels weird and awful already

To be fair, ANY damage draws tower aggro, even the enemy hurting himself on your bramble vest.

I'm really hoping they don't implement that change. More targeted spells on the other hand, would be cool and good, maybe they'll finally release a new champion I would actually want to play.

if there was an in game gold display dumb rear end surrender attempts would no doubt triple, or even more

Dumb rear end surrender attempts are leagues better then dumb rear end "no" votes when you're 20 kills, 4 dragons and 6 towers behind. 4 out of five votes required to surrender remains the most monumentally stupid idea Riot's ever had, 2 people should in no way be able to force 3 people to remain in the game.

If I had a gun with two bullets and was in a room with Hitler, Bin Laden, and a guy who picks "no" when the vote's 3-1 for surrendering, I'd shoot the last one twice.

I've won so many games that have had 3/2 surrender votes, if 3/2 could suddenly end a easily won game I'd be a hell of a lot angrier then a failed vote on a unwinnable game.

See, for me playing out a lost game in League is so absolutely miserable that I'd gladly trade those few victories from that far behind in exchange for all my losses being that much quicker. Honestly, if someone offered me a guarantee that none of my losses would last longer than 15 minutes in exchange for never being able to come back from a losing game I'd take it.

I’m an old Dota player trying League out for the first time. What’s the best way to get build and item info? The LOLSUMO app seems handy, but I don’t know if their stuff is reputable.

I tend to use lolalytics (first link is for the data from the last seven days, second for data from this patch only. The difference only matters for the first few days after the patch) for my builds and to check matchups. Some other goons swear by op.gg. Another site worth checking is probuilds, but not all builds professionals use will be optimal or even viable at lower levels.

Wonder what'll be next after that. I'm guessing Kayle + Morg (although I believe they've said Morg'll only be a VU instead of a full-on VGU) and then Nunu after.

If they give Kayle a skillshot I swear I'm quitting this dumb game.

Nope. Suppression is its own separate effect from stun, and the only three things that can remove it (aside from interrupting the source of the suppression) are Quicksilver Sash/Mercurial Scimitar, GP's oranges, and Alistar's ult.

It's an issue when most people are using it defensively, rather than using it aggressively to pull off batshit tower dives.

Honestly, enabling batshit tower dives is exactly what I hate this item for. Assassins are an atrocious error of game design even without an additional 2.5 seconds of invulnerability.

Maintenance announced for 8.4 on Thursday. You can take a look at the PBE cycle notes on S@20 if you want a sneak peak. Highlights include:
  • Zoe sent to Camille Prison until they figure out what the hell they want to do with her.
  • Gnar and Gangplank both getting a non-insignificant amount of laning power chopped off of their kits.
  • Kalista getting a whole bunch of her power shifted around. Arguably a more effective lane bully early, but holy hell is she short range now.
  • Rengar getting partially reverted. His Q is back to its old incarnation. Ult's been changed so that he depends more on the other parts of his kits to score a one-hit instead of simply leaping out of stealth for a trillion damage on his own.
  • Fairly significant Volibear buffs. His E now has a knockback, meaning that he has a pretty drat good method of interrupting dashes, and the buff to his W means you might actually start seeing him getting play in solo queue as a jungler.
  • Stopwatch has a 10 minute arming time. Now sufficiently niche that you should only really take it if you think you have critical outplay potential in the midgame and are building Zhonya's relatively early. The fact that Inspiration no longer gets the passive +20% bonus to potion duration without taking a tier 3 rune is actually pretty significant, since you're losing a lot of lane sustain if you you opt for Cosmic Insight instead.
  • Second Wind is now on the same tier as all of the Armor/MR runes, which is huge. Now you either take Second Wind to survive poke, or you take one of the Armor/MR options to survive burst, rather than having both at the same time. Should make every lane that abused this (especially top) a lot less safe.
  • Shitload of AP item changes that were already discussed. Should be interesting to see how ends up benefiting most.
  • Baron and Elder are now significantly more impactful in the lategame. Baron actually got a pretty solid buff in general with the increase to cannon creep damage and the fact that the casters can no longer get instantly nuked. Look for games to close a lot faster.

:stare: Well, time to take a two week vacation from LoL and let people better than me figure out the builds.
