Hahaha. I love this one. So I realised that playing with SWFers is really the most fun I can have in this game. Doesn't matter if it's duo or full 5s, I always have more fun with you guys. Solo queue is blehhhh.
o rly

Add me, people! Only Lvl 22 atm, but I play pretty much everyday and I really want to improve further

Playing a jungler when people push lanes to the enemy towers is the most thankless role I've ever had the misfortune to play.

You should try playing a support/tank (or Janna in particular) when your carries do nothing but feed.

At least as a jungler you can mess with their jungler or secure map objectives.

Looks awesome. I'm getting him tomorrow. I love heroes that are dynamic and bring a lot of utility to their team :)

Like, even if his damage is ****, he still has a lot of CC and can be built tanky if need be.

Jarvan looks kinda fun. I bet he won't be that good though. Gotta see the numbers.
His passive deals a percentage of health as damage. I'd be a little worried if his stats were above average, tbh, as that could quickly get out of control.

And oh hai Ezreal buff. Wish I knew how to play him better. But I can easily see this going the route of high ELO abuses his new strength, he becomes banned there, mid/low ELOers discover this and pick him, OP threads are made, the ult is reverted and Mystic Shot now does 10/20/30/40/50 damage (+.2AD)

Haha, yeah, his ult isn't ignorable on AD builds anymore. I think he needed this, tbh. Karma and Garen and Caitlyn got some nice little buffs as well. Ghost got nerfed by 4 seconds but I don't think that's going to make it any worse of a pick.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES.

In reality though, I still want Rylai's proccing with mystic shot and Essence Flux to hit minions.
This buff is really nice, to a degree. It isn't huge though.
Gives some basis to hybrid builds. Shame it can't proc sheen/tforce/lichbane bonus damage (that would be soooo goood; 1.9 AP ratio ultimateeee).

It yet again means there is basis in stacking bloodthirsters on ezreal again. Which... I guess is kinda okay.... even though caitlyn's got the whole stacking bt thing going for her at the moment.

My opinion on cait:

Strong laning phase,
very weak mid game,
can have a very good late game (but still will be doing less than corki and ashe)

She fits into team comps with team mates like Shen (strong mid game tank) and having casters like Annie.

You're all not seeing the best part of this patch, clearly.
I can only assume you're referring to the Loch Ness Cho'Gath skin

But speaking of other changes, that +5% CD boost on Morello's Tome is looking nice; I might actually consider getting it now. With that, masteries, and a blue pot I think you hit 39%. It also opens the door for me to go Mercs on Lux, but I still need to do a cost analysis of how long it takes me to farm the items up.

do you guys think that morellos will be good on lux now?
I actually made a thread asking this ha; it pretty much erases all reason I had before to use cd runes as with just masteries, Morello's, and a blue pot I can hit 39%. I'm just not sure if I want to establish it as a first item yet. Would be nice to go for Sorc Boots or Mercs though. I'm thinking I'll definitely pick it up when I need Mercs, though

People are too excited about the ez buff...
It's like 100-200 extra magic damage on his ult late game. Which he doesn't stack magic penetration for.

Its kinda a bonus to AP Ez in one way. Pushes him towards grabbing Rageblade and/or maybe Last Whisper. Which helps his hybridness + still good for AP (I get LW late game with AP ez because hurrr the truth is, a majority of his damage is still physical!)

And I assume you will take that as

"Riot was wrong about nerfing her because look they are buffing her again"

but that's another thing for another day

I think it's pretty obvious that the hugest part of this patch is that in player to player chats the links you post are now clickable.

Why does Phreak always look overleveled compared to his opposition? Are they letting him solo free farm or something? Besides blatantly bad champs, I've not seen a new champ that he doesn't seem to annihilate with, and then you find out he's like 4 levels ahead of everyone lol.

Phreak apparently is one of the best players on Riot staff, so when they do these internal tests for the videos, he is going to out-farm and out-level the rest of the crew pretty easily. I think that's all that's really going on. Maybe they stack his team too so that the new champ looks like its winning, but that's as far as the conspiracy goes.

Regardless, Jarvan looks pretty sweet. Even if his numbers aren't boss, he's going to have good synergy with a good portion of the cast due to his powerful CC. A slow, a (skillshot) knockup and a wall means he can control the pace and positioning of team fights pretty well.

About Maokai, I agree that he's a little under rated at the moment, but I do think he's got one glaring weakness that coordinated teams can abuse. His ult has a longish cooldown after it drops, so if you can bait a fight and then kite the enemy team away from his ult then he essentially becomes a champ without an R button for the duration of the fight. Really good Maokai's have to wait to put it down until everyone has really committed, rather than putting it down as soon as initiation occurs because otherwise he can end up wasting it. But then his team doesn't get its benefits during the first volley of attacks that often melt 1-2 members of a team.

Of course, in solo queue its a lot harder to tell your teammates to kite out of the ult since you aren't chatting on vent. But its still possible if you talk about it at the start of the game and then remind them of it when setting up for a fight.

Good lord Jarvan's ult is absurd.

ETA: And the cooldown on that standard allows him to escape from quite a lot of sticky spots.
