Pantheon
W - Aegis of Zeonia
Now can be cast on enemy minions and jungle monsters

That extra 60 dmg clear time.

 

[Sinister Slush]

That one second of buff/big monster not hitting you along with the aegis taking the hit around the 2nd or 3rd second.

 

[john!]

I still honestly hate when everything else gets nerfed, people find the next best thing.

lots of players (especially in plat) are "spike"s

http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtgcom/daily/mr11b

abusing FOTM heroes are how they get there in the first place.

verbally abusing spikes is the reason i've gotten banned several times lol. i guess it's partly riot's fault though.

 

[Sinister Slush]

I got to plat playing Skarner Singed and Janna (cause forced to support half the time).
Pretty sure none of those three were FOTM unless you consider Koreans using wacky singed builds and winning matches.

Still not enough to make a huge difference tho for jungle Panth. It's better now for escaping ganks/doing cool jumps over jungle walls.

BUT THOSE GAREN CHANGES HUH? #rykerknowswhatsup

 

[Espy Rose]

I jungled Garen before it got cool. It's fun as hell, and tower dive executes have never been easier.

I'm quasi-hipster. Poppy, Lulu, and Tristana carried me to Plat.
Rumble and Wukong helped.



Edit:

I've actually hated Fiddle since I started playing. He hurts too much.
And a combination of Mordekaiser in S1 and Riven since release were sole reasons why I avoided top lane like a plague back then. I didn't start drifting more towards top lane until recent.

yeah i'm not saying you're like that, just that some people are.

speaking of which... is it just me or is gragas reeeeally strong now? he can even jungle really well thanks to the body slam buff

 

[Sinister Slush]

the "nerfs" they did to him was basically buffs.

 

[Espy Rose]

The Spectral Wraith change made him pretty damn good in the jungle. Dude can sustain for days.

 

[Plum]

The Gragas buffs definitely buffed his ability to scrap, but I am sad that you can't be Kassadin 2.0 anymore with him. I'll miss Body Slam on a 4 second cooldown after Athenes + Blue. He had silly map mobility.
Jungle Gragas being buffed is definitely is nice. He was borderline before, pretty good right now except for a pretty weak midgame. His early and lategame are very strong though. Putting the gold into a jungle item delays him being able to seige and poke down objectives which is a lot of his appeal. I wonder if he can get away with an item build that doesn't his core items as much.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

I like skarner, though my new experience is mostly PBE play.

I think he should max Q first still, works with his kit better.

After that not sure if W or E is better.

Vision items no longer display their current ward count to your enemies on their tooltip display"

Literally just complained about this last dream team sesh good stuff

 

[Z'zgashi]

Lovin dat Cait buff.

It's a sad day for junglers.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

I wish the servers weren't down.

 

[Espy Rose]

What? They're still up for me.

 

[Soft Serve]

anyone try out Yasuno yet? his kit looks so incredibly flexible and strong.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

His laning phase is bad and he is pretty technical with what you gotta learn.

I think he's a manaless champ built very well but he is hard to use early.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

lol rengars banned from battle of atlantic

 

[KevinM]

Any reason why?

 

[Hot_ArmS]

Triple Q OP

 

[Life]

Apparently someone found a quadra Q as well.

 

[teluoborg]

So let me get this straight :
Yasuo is a manaless melee adc with a ranged low cooldown AA reset, an AOE knockup, the most broken defensive skill since Morgana's shield, a gap closer with virtually no cooldown and an ult that deals damage, make knockups last longer and give him a very good steroid. And he has 2 passives.

I know I'm gonna play him because he's ****ing Mitsurugi but why did Riot have to give him everything ?

 

[Soft Serve]

Not to mention your ult literally reaches from wraiths to the enemy mid tower.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

Considering his bad laning/early game, low bases, unless you dash a lot in which case your giving it away your going to dash to them.

Yeah he gets a free shield but it's really low early and only big late game.

 

[Plum]

His damage is also lower than other melee carries, and his defensive mechanics don't have the reliability that the other melee carries have not to mention that his wall does nothing against other melees.
Like, his steroid looks broken on paper until you realize it does nothing until you put gold into it, and that it's his only steroid when other melee carries get offensive stats thrown at them like they're being given away.
Also, if he's blocking off an ADC or mage with his wall he's not hitting them himself.
His mobility when it comes to getting into a fight is high, but he can't reliably get out of fights and he's a melee carry.

 

[KuroganeHammer]

Man, I'd love to play Yasuo

Oh

But OCE servers don't even have a patch DATE yet.

-ToxicHawk

oh ok, dw guys! WE GET THE PATCH ON WEDNESDAY.

 

[Zano]

Yasuo is very balanced

 

[KevinM]

****in that Pop Punk pizza GIF kills me every time I can't deal

 

[Ussi]

Yasuo is nice since I can actually gank for him cause he has CC for a melee carry.

 

[Player-3]

yasuo seems kinda gay


like what is that ridiculous shield he gets that thing seems to be up constantly and is like 20% of his hp LMFAO

 

[Espy Rose]

It's always up because he gets rewarded for just clicking around the map.
That, and the dash also adds to the meter. You know, that dash that has essentially zero cooldown?

From my experience so far, he's not ridiculously broken or strong as hell or what have you. He's just annoying as hell to catch because he's stupidly mobile.

 

[Soft Serve]

Running from him is very frustrating as well if you're running down the lane and he passes a minion wave. E-q the first minion, e-q the last minion in the wave, and the he's on your ass again >.>

I don't think he's broken, but Theres definitely a lot in his kit that you have to adapt to, and a lot of counter play involving when you attack him with his passive up.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

That shield is actually not that great til he hits level 13ish.

 

[Player-3]

dam yasuo is hard as ****



and his passive shield is definitely amazing at all levels

i think maxing W second is better in most cases tho for the cd/ more passive shields from dashing

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

idk I feel like early his shield is really eh, like it doesn't make that much of a difference compared to later when it gets as high as 600.

 

[KuroganeHammer]

no, he's like the only champion in the game who gets free damage mitigation from just walking around

like, wtf

riot felt that a free shield forever wasn't enough so they gave him a second passive as well

ty riot (you're ********)

 

[Vyke]

Wukong gets free damage mitigation from walking around too. Olaf gets it from putting a point in Ult. Jayce gets it from form-switching, idk how many more I can list here... It's just more noticeable because it's a shield. So why not try to trade with him when his passive shield is down?

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

To use his second passive he has to build borderline glass cannon.

Also apparently his win rate is really damn low.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

lower win rates than the usual for new champs?
