Shamelessly stolen from Pics That Make You Laugh thread.
High HP heal based target is bad against overpowered percentage based champions.
...
Jungle is ok. Level 4 @ 3:40 on Udyr. I could probably be faster. Don't think it's that much slower than before. Maybe just a little. There are multiple routes you can take to gank each lane. Multiple routes weaken CV. Health sigils mean junglers gank healthier.
I'm not good enough at jungle to comment any further
33 (scaling) gold for big wraith, 4 (scaling?) gold for small ones.
When I think about changes I'd want to a jungle I rarely think, "Boy, I'd love to spend more time in the jungle farming creeps."
Haven't played it yet though.
I didn't think they were nerfing it that badly, man sounds pretty awful so far.
"7:20 minutes to reach level 6 as shyvanna in the jungle"
Maybe this is their solution to what people saw as jungle farmer domination.

I'm going to have to get used to Jarvan again. Changing his passive to physical is huge, though. Pair that with Wriggles, get crazy sustain in lane.
tons of damage
I actually really like the new model as well. Is there new art to go with it?
I think if I continue playing I need to start taking notes, or at minimum saving screenshots of each final scoreboard. This should let me in part think about why I lost and what I personally could have improved, and in part let me keep stats about which champions carried games.
For instance, I try to play AD carry or AP carry (potentially until I learn a new jungler), and I know ranged AD carries are supposed to farm like crazy and do damage...yet Caitlyn damage output, even with bloodthirster + other AD items + armor penetration, always seems very low.
In fact, other than Tristana (AcridMeat does well) or the occasional Vayne who gets kills early, I don't think I often see ranged AD carries dominate games. Graves can get lots of kills, so possibly him too. I feel that Tryndamere, Akali, and even one or two fed Katarinas have carried games fairly often recently.
*edit* Side note, remember how people were worried about cleanse being too powerful, and Tryndamere using it? Tryndamere is still very powerful and I still don't see him using cleanse. I still see looooots of flash, instead.

You need to Flash out on Trynd after ulting if you don't kill everyone. Creates seperation, puts you in a safer place.
Yes, it's alright but kind of boring.

Huh, the new GP art is decent. They even redid Spooky Gangplank! :O
Then we'll rock harder, obviously.
Also, Commando Garen is on sale, but I don't have enough money for it! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

So I installed this yesterday and have been playing coop vs AI and been doing ok. Not good but ok I guess. I'm mostly using Ashe atm.
I've played one jungle game so far with Udyr since the patch in Duo queue draft pick. Ended up having a Volibear solo top against Heimer/Panth since they didn't have a jungle so I ganked that lane quite a bit while jungling. I was clearing the jungle really fast and if smite wasn't needed to secure certain creep kills I wouldn't need it anymore. I didn't have any failed ganks so I was able to keep up with the solo lanes level wise. Something that people aren't bringing up is the fact that you can clear camps with a lot less health now instead of having to b back after a failed gank or earlier in the game like prepatch. As udyr I was able to gank then go straight back into the jungle with like 15% health and still clear all the camps that came back up. Can't really speak on the gold gained through jungle because I had quite a few kills/assists early on.

If you're on the North American server join channel NeoGaf for people to play with
what was your path? I went wolves, blue, wraiths, wolves, red, wraiths and i hit 4 about 3:50. and then continuing on that path, mostly cause i did start doing golems, i hit 6 about 7:50. TO take 4 minutes to go 2 levels in the jungle early game is just ridiculous.
Just tried out jungle Akali with the changes. Udyr was faster than me ganking around 4 or 5 while I was a level down. Early game they were winning with two towers down. I had just farmed until six then started to gank with creeps being a high priority. Was lucky enough that every lane had some way of slowing/stunning the enemy which made ganks easier for her. We slowly started to make a comeback and snowballed hard into a killteam that just rolled towers. Need to play some more games but she seems all right.
For some reason I find Akali in the jungle very upsetting.

Pfft. That's not impressive at all. Akali is OP.
As long as she's still banned every single game, I'm not complaining too much.
She's not good enough to ban. I just feel like the role of traditional junglers is being super minimized when people can just throw any champion into the jungle and do well.As long as she's still banned every single game, I'm not complaining too much.

Solo queue sucks!
What are some good general carry champions for solo queue who are not likely to be banned, assuming I do not resolve my issues about doing damage with Caitlyn?
I think I own exactly one of them (Vayne). XD I didn't care for Graves' gameplay style, but I did like Talon, and Sion would probably be good to learn...I shall have to learn the intricacies of AP and AD Sion then!

I tried going solo-top as Jarvan.
Did better than before, but I had a couple of retards on my team. I should probably learn AP Sion or Talon.

Has that ever been confirmed? Nome refuses to admit such things! :E
The bolded part is actually shocking.
A heads up, *might* be a really bad tristana bug right now that disables all of her skills. Proceed with caution. Quite a few confirming.

When they announced a Season 2, I swore they were going to roll out ALL of the changes in one massive update, not piecemeal. It is pretty stupid.
Oh come on, right when I was getting good with her.

Gangplank now looks like the Burger King on the mini map.
It's too brown. I hate it in the cropped version of the character portrait.
Edit: (Not racist.)

I cracked up
5300 health in the end. i was a beast
also while rylais seems like a good idea on him i dont think it was worth it. since he is melee you are up in close in team fights and yes the slow is proc'd on your ult but it just isnt worth it i dont think. i probably would have been better off with some AD, AS, or even some MR.
also this is an extreme case. it was a 50 minute game and we could have ended it in 30. we were seriously just dicking around in the end. the other team was pretty bad.
This is amazing. I keep not recognizing him now.
Still not sure what to think about the new jungle. Parts of it seem cool, exp gains are killing me though. Even if I get super fed I'm noticeably behind in level behind laners.
The heck is up with Baron though? He was critting me for like a billion. Also, Fiddle counters Fizz so hard.

Didn't they buff baron somewhat? I know for one thing you shouldn't be able to put wards inside him, for instance.
Also I finally got my first solo queue ranked win, after I had my worst game (was trying to discuss with my team and accidentally picked got random'd into mundo instead of an AP carry, lol).
In my winning game as Caitlyn I didn't carry per se, but I had no deaths thanks to a great Soraka, and I had forgotten how nice it is to get 1200+ crits with Caitlyn.
