Glad they went with reducing the Deathcap's base AP down to 140 instead of reducing the pasive to just 25%. Yorick still doesn't sound that great.
Does the line "Removed the health decay on the Revenant and Reanimated pets" mean revived champs won't go away till you kill them?
Alirstar's nerfs don't sound to bad, but his heal AP being halved is likely the biggest lost, since Heal with a decent amount of Mana regen can normally be spammed constantly with net zero mana cost.

The problem is I can see this often turning into a Death Wish for her, but it will be a way to initiate team fights.Ferga said:

Looking at the stats and abilities, wouldn't Warwick be nearly as good as backdooring as Yi? Have him Jungle in the start, and switch to backdooring once the laning phase is over? He won't have nearly as high of a base attack damage due to Yi's Wuju Style, but Hunters Call is very slimier to Highlander's Attack Speed buff (Highlander will last 2 extra seconds though), and has a much shorter cooldown (18 seconds instead of 75)
What would you guys suggest is the best thing to spend points/experience on? Characters?
The only one I'm consistently not bad with is the girl with two swords and the smoke bomb attack (also the one where she kinda instantly teleports and attacks an enemy) so considering unlocking her full time...

yi attacks faster, does more dmg per attack, and double strike works on towers. warwick would bd towers like mf or trist, in that they don't have any move/passive that does extra dmg to the turret, but with enough +dmg/as items and their as steroids they can mow a tower down.
I would think so. If you want to play around with runes, I would stick to level 1 runes till you are fully sure that the runes at level 3 are that you want to buy are a good idea.Gaaraz said:
I would unlock all the 450 champs if you haven't done so, they are dirt cheap and most of them are pretty good.
Then again, mistakes can lead to stumbling upon some unique concepts. Wouldn't have thought of Glass Canon Smasher Taric if I didn't buy Magic Pen Runes instead of AP runes by mistake, but the burst damage from levels 5 till about 14 with 28.5 Magic Pen is really good for that stage in the game for a mobile support character. Boots of Mobility + Haunting Guise makes Taric able to poke people who have only 30 MR like a beast.

Plus, I think the biggest reason Yi is frustrating as a backdoorer is because he can pop Highlander to escape, making him invulnerable to any slows and impossible to catch. If your team notices WW back dooring, you can send a few people to go catch him and as long as you aren't completely all the way across the map, you may actually get the kill.
Many thanks, I shall try a couple of the 450 champs before just purchasing them though 
Was tempted by runes but honestly none of them looked particularly good, I guess every little helps though? Like you said it could provide for some interesting (and unexpected) results too if I manage to find a good setup!

Reason why Yi is popular for it is his ult+Zig Zag thing(Forgot name). His ult allows him to down the tower fast... or it allows him to escape after doing so. He is the fastest in the game once its activated. So he can safely backdoor and back out before they can catch him. Or it allows him to push to the next one at an extremely fast rate. One tower will be gone as you port back, the next one will be gone by the time you get there. He is that quick at it.
His ult also makes him impossible to kite, and the Zig Zag allows him to close/create a gap. So if they send a squishy back to deal with him. You'll just have a dead squishy and a loss tower.
All this is amplified if you build him Warmogers/Tank Yi with a Ghostblade.
Tyrand is another popular choice for similar reasons. His dash allows him to go through bushes, his ult allows him to dive safely, and how you build him, will allow you to bring down most towers in a few shots.
WW isn't a bad choice. Q allows him to constantly keep up HP with minions next to it. So only thing he would have to worry about 2 players or a hard carry. But he also gets caught easily.
IIRC he heals off champion's more now and less off minions which is a nerf to his lane sustainability (which beat even vlad before his nerf) but a buff to his team fight ability. So yes, you're gonna eat people!
Amumu has too many skins.
Very interested to see how the buffs affect Yorick. As far as I'm concerned, he only got released after this patch.

I really hate it when Riot tries to force certain heroes into specific roles they had in mind.
Why kill variety? What does it do for the game when you take away choices from the player?
I guess Lane Udyr's next on the chopping block.
I approve of nerfing Deathcap, however.

the patch video said you'd have a few days with free yorick so try to compare him pre-patch and post-patch. so yeah I don't think they're changing the rotation until the normal day.EXGN said:

Runes make a world of difference on some champs. I know my Caitlyn and Jarvan really benefit from the ArmPen and ManaReg from the runes. The approach to runes, imo, is to ask "What does this champ REALLY need early game?" Runes become irrelevant late game, except for specific runes like % critical change and % cooldown reduction.
Halycon said:
Totally agree. I actually think that's one of the coolest things about the early champions, there are a number of different ways to play them. I definitely think Twisted Fate was designed to be a DPS but he ended up being a better AP caster. Builds like AP Yi, AP Trist, AP Alistar, DPS Kass are all really fun, though some may not be the most viable way to play.
Seems like all the new champs that have very specific roles to fill and now they are even changing older champs to play in specific ways.

I'll be up for some games. I'll also be on Mumble.

Please get Mumble if you want to play with GAF!

Also, I'm starting to feel hesitant about forming 5 man GAF Groups. If you don't play together regularly and you don't chat, losses are almost guaranteed. 2-3 is probably the optimal size, since I've noticed GAFfers seriously dislike having 4 GAFfers and a random.

I think it's when variety in a character allows for them to dual role with each role being as good as someone dong a single role.
AP alistar is also great at support and tanking. Lowering ap ratios means alistar needs more ap to be ap, and thus can't waste space on tanky or support items.

Yeah that VP skin reminded me first of Sivir, though. Can someone rehost and link the three outfits for Leona (default+2 bought)? I'm at work.
The new skins:

Ok I super love the third Leona skin.

SO i noticed they didnt buff anything on Yorick really.
Basically they just made him a little tankier by changing his passive up and buffed his ghouls by 5%. Overall his damage is still going to be subpar. The only thing now is that he wont be completely OOM while spamming spells that tickle.
Oh and now someone who gets temporarily revived might actually survive the 10 seconds to get revenge cause their health dont be decaying.

Treat his ult as a shaco you can cast on anyone. If you max e/w and with 0 q, you can harass a lot lot lot.2th said:

Uh. "reminants" = ult... are you saying "reanimated pets" = ghouls? I thought ghouls are still a 5 second timer.Dance In My Blood said:

I think that's the biggest change, personally. Before I could just outlast the ghouls by ignoring them straightout. Now I'll have to actually deal with them.
Many thanks! I tried Annie as my first character and did badly for obvious reasons, just played in a game where someone as her got 22 kills and 0 deaths - so thinking that's a really good shout for a character that just completely destroys other players!Halycon said:
Haven't tried Brand or Viegar yet (or even seen them in a match tbh!) so will give them a look sometime

true, but at least idiots can't push a lane needlesslyshintoki said:
his W slows?
is he? it didn't feel like that to me.
W+E fucks people up. I don't know what a good dual lane pertner would be to finish them off though.
What is a good item/skill/rune build for Ryze?
I'm looking into trying him out.
