The better question would be "why"
HOLY SHIT. Those are major.
Basically it may potentially make me enjoy Morgana for once. And Sona, Can't wait to try out these items.
I have seen couple of adc is my matches going rageblade and thought maybe I could try it out.
idk, for whatever reason china likes this one and wont accept riotos one
I like majority of the mage item changes. I like the direction of some more actives to supplement gameplay and moving toward flat mana for offense and regen for defense. The infinite mana waveclear and poke of mages is pretty ridiculous.
However, they're pretty much nerfing MR itemization? It's lowered for every item but one? With all these new actives on short cool downs with 200+20% AP damage mages are going to be wrecking. Annie with that rocket belt and flash will decimate teams.

I just thought about riot wanting him to have high highs and low lows and if he has to "charge" before he can unleash his machine gun then it could leave him pretty vulnerable. Except when he first gets to lane. And it would make him play super passive then just kill you. And it would make him super horrible like the entire mid-late game. And he couldn't stack tear
It's not perfect k get off my back bro

they had to do something. the cost increase for AP items was hurting. This is one way to address the issue. We'll see if it's a good way or not.
Yeah, Lux is gonna one shot tanks easily now.

Yo he kind of looks like he is high as fuck.
Will we get reduced blink range if you try to go past max range as well?

With these changes I foresee Kass being a champ I might actually be able to play.
(Cause I have given up on trying to build current RoA. That shit takes too much time and gold)
The dash item could open things up a bit. Instead of feeling like you HAVE to run flash you may go for that as a core item (if it IS a core item in your build) and run something else.

With the Zhonya's nerf, I think they should add a AP QSS item. AP/Armor maybe Pen or CDR to take the spot of lifesteal of AD QSS.
I hatedbuildingrushing Zhonyas just to counter Zed ult neway. More flat mag pen couldnt hurt either when compared to AD pen. But pen on a defensive items sorta clashes doesnt it? idk.
I hated
not sure how all these changes will pan out in reality but it looks good so far, more flexibility and options for mage builds will be great
like catalyst change will be great for top lane ap champs, finally we get sustain without having to do something dumb like Grasp of the undying

he mentions some items might be scrapped if they don't test well on pbe tho
but yeah being just one month and a half or something it's a bit worrisome

NOOOOOOOOO
Swain is such a fucking boring toxic old champ, needs a rework.
Fuck damage over time i hate it so fucking much, and that is all swain is.

enemy team locks in raka. Sigh.
Hopefully they go super aggro on her.
yea i don't get it either, generally when they change it for the worse they were at least both of questionable quality but western cottontail teemo is actually a nice, acceptable splash and this one is a lot uglier lol
the 30s cd stuff seems kind of insane, i don't think that stuff will remain 30s
Depending on the elo, Zed isn't worth a ban.

And PBE is of course up to the task of determining if these changes work.
We're fucked.
Some of this stuff is extreme. It belongs in the S7 update. Game will be a complete clusterfuck just as some semblance of balance was coming back. Again. I'm getting tired of this cycle.

Went as expected. Couldn't do anything due to raka healing all our damage. Couldnt reach her cause she stayed in the back. Cait also wouldnt grp after raging with Thresh. Raka/Jhin were like 5/0/5 from laning. Cait like 0/4/0
I only post that wn I'm mid. G1 I can't do nething with zed as vel. Even when I go armor runes/seekers for HG rush, before I get to HGI have to back since eh ults me and I have like 20 hp. I could play Malz but meh, Vel is more fun.
1-2 so far in plat promos.
================
Raka wouldnt even be such a problem if grievous wounds worked on her heals to some degree.

How does Catalyst Udyr sound?
Meh, don't own him or really care for him, skin did look cool though.
i think they might've missed the deadline for preseason with these changes cos midlane itemization has felt sucky all season long
it's gonna be fairly disruptive, specially cos some of these items look kind of abusable by tanks and ap bruisers, but we'll see
i don't think it's THAT big of a change since a lot of the core mid items stay the same. deathcap is the same, void staff is the same, azir will still build nashors+rylais, morellos are essentially the same. tear is probably gonna be more common but that's not that big of a deal
i think the timing is also pretty good since msi is probably gonna be played on 6.8 (i dunno if taric will be disabled) so putting a major patch after the big tournament is super reasonable
i'm ok with mid-season patches being a thing, i think it's a good time to break the game again in a smaller way
tyty bae
game is in a less than ideal state for sure and those two are gonna get hit pretty hard
It's vayne tumble length apparently so it shouldn't be able to?
I don't feel like either of those champions are too limited by mobility where an extra dash would really be a game changer. On the other end of things...it's hard to see very low mobility champions seeing that much of a boost by investing into a dash over hard stats. I'm interested to see how these items work in practice, because it's just so hard to predict. I don't know that AD carries will see anything too much worse than now...a boost to mages hurts the potential for tanks to really itemize primarily against AD carries, so maybe there's more opportunity for them to really bring a more unique damage source to their team.
I feel like Riven hop is shorter than Vayne tumble, but Riven hop can go over walls in modern times. I guess we'll have to see. No walljumps would be a little more balanced.

It is but Riven hop has hitbox interactions that allows it to jump because it's an AoE
I guess immobile adc can't get any worse anyway. If you're already in the garbage you can't go further into the garbage, you know? Well, I guess you can go to the absolute bottom of the trash can like Varus or MF. The reason someone like jhin can be relevant is because he can sit 1 mile away and fire his ult and w. They even had to compensate for this mobility creep game by giving him ridiculous AD.
Did I mention this rocket belt thing also gives health. Even if the item gave zero stats, it 100% breaks the game just from the active alone. It just happens to give 300 extra health, 80 AP and 10% cdr according to that post lmao. At least it doesn't go over walls right?
Mobility creep continues to force characters out.
What immobile ADCs are you talking about? 2 of the top 3 winrate ADCs are Kog'Maw and Ashe, for example (http://champion.gg/statistics/#?sortBy=general.winPercent&order=descend&roleSort=ADC).
You know what? You're right. Win rate means everything.
Hextech Rocket Belt Draven it is. I welcome 6.9 patch with open arms.
