Anivia got nerfed. It's not obvious but it brings her burst down a bit in certain situations.

Flash Frost (Q) :
Pass through slow now referred to as [Chilling] enemies.
Now applies [Iced] to targets hit with the detonation.

Frostbite (E) damage has been changed! Rather than dealing double damage to enemies slowed by Q/R, E now deals different bonus damage based on [Iced]or [Chilled].
[CHILLED] targets take 150% damage and [ICED] targets take 200%

Glacial Storm (R)
Normal slow now referred to as [Chilling] enemies.
The full blown storm (max damage & slow) now applies [ICED] to enemies caught in it.

that's great, nerfs her uninteractive poke pattern but still rewards her if she lands her q

she probably needs more nerfs but probably good enough for now

on the contrary, I like playing with Ezreals. I think he's pretty safe champ that avoids being instagibbed. Him buildin IBG makes him a safer too with the armor and the slow.

yeah, i like ibg ez too cos he can set me up to do stuff

What's the proper way to harass with the new malzahar? E then W nearby or the other way.

I was thinking if you built up minions first then sick them on the enemy it'd be better, but those things spawn super fast.

No. Rengar's for better or worse, fed or feeding, will dive at the carries with reckless abandon. They give a shit about "one shotting" carries. Whether or not their KDA is good or not is ancillary. They like to bitch about "why didn't you guys follow my engage?" Whole different kind of whining.

why you gotta hate on malz. If he does play him, you best bet is to just E then W and push the wave hard into them, make them farm under turrent, if you have the mana and vision you can harrass with e and q. I don't play him a lot, but I love picking him into stuff like yas and LB. tilted a few Yas's 1v1'ing them and listening to the all chat rage.

Nah. You just put space aids on the enemy champ and then summon your voidlings. Q refreshes the space aids.
Click to expand...
yeah that works, but generally I wouldn't be that liberal with my mana until i at least have a lost chapter or blue. especially around 6 i think it' best to shove the wave quick and look to ghost into bot or top and press R on someone for a free kill.

Not talking about Kindred skins, I'm saying that there's no new skins this PBE patch. Nothing but fucking Chroma colors.

Which means I gotta wait 2 more weeks to be disappointed by them not giving Illaoi a fucking new skin (Cause I bet they put out the Halloween Skins and that's a prefect excuse to look over her yet again ...)

And Kindred buffs disgust me, she deserves to be where she is right now ... right in the gutter.

Illaoi is like Zyra. Don't ever expect new skins... Because of all the extra work they have to do with modelling and animating things like Illaoi's tentacles and Zyra's plants, it's essentially a miracle if they get a new skin.

IE: Zyra's last unique skin was her Harrowing one from 2013. Her team skin doesn't really count.

If someone is saying this I'm assuming they are premade anyway, no need for clan tag when he is explicitly saying he knows this guy is bad at adc.

I mean, I can believe people recognizing names, if they have to enable autofill at 2 in the fucking afternoon. The pool of players must be dismal.

Uhhh, nope.

Zyra's Shit Outta Luck because legit everything in her kit requires a decent new model for a brand new skin that's not 750. Her Q would need a new model cause it looks like a model and not just some particle effect, her Seeds would need new models, her E and it's snare + her Ult + her Q and E Plants would need new models and animations. At the time they said that her Passive woulda needed a new model to.

Illaoi isn't like that. With her you just need to make a model for her and her tent. Unless they wanna do something crazy and turn her passive from Tents into something completely different that doesn't move like a tent (like, say ... zombie arms coming from the ground) they wouldn't have to reanimate or re-rig those. Everything else is just effects and textures like with any decent champ's kit.

lol Aurelion is legit absurd in capable hands. One of those that will be strong for a long time even if nobody plays it.

really cool that a successful niche champ exists

So every time I kill either Krugs or Gromp first I hear the new champs VO. Neat. Also, I don't know what's wrong with me but I can't jungle for shit anymore. I don't deal any damage, my kill participation is crap...

Hi folks,

Kog’Maw has some significant changes coming in patch 6.19 that we wanted to give some extra context on.

When we set out to update Kog last preseason, it was with the intent of doubling down on his already unique and well-supported identity of being the Marksman you could rely on to deal most of your team’s damage as long as you protect and enhance him - reinforcing the notion of ‘protect the Kog’ as a team strategy. By breaking the usual rules of attack speed, we amplified his damage even further while making him functionally less mobile in combat because he can’t move much between shots.

Unfortunately, that direction hasn’t proven successful. His unique attack speed interactions undercut the core identity that we intended to reinforce. The items and masteries that scale best with his new direction provide early- and mid-game power rather than late-game power, warping his power curve. More importantly, the ability to move in between attacks is essential for him to serve as most of his team’s damage output. He needs to be able to keep up with a moving teamfight, or else his opponents simply avoid his range and his allies can’t rely on his damage output as the primary or potentially only major damage dealer on a team.

Given that prior to the update, Kog’Maw was a unique and sustainable design that represented a strong long-term direction for the champion, we are partially reverting his update.

Specifically, his W will no longer break the attack speed cap, apply only half damage from AD, or increase attack speed gained from items, and we’ll be looking at tweaks to his other basic spells to support that direction. We are not reverting changes to his ultimate, however.

One point on other champion updates: we are reverting Kog’Maw because we believe that his pre-update state was a successful kit which hit our goals for champions in general and for Kog in particular, not simply because the update didn’t achieve its goals. We have no current plans to revert any other updates, as there aren’t other similar cases where reversion would bring us to a long-term direction.

You genuinely think the last champions and updates that were released weren't unique champions?

Kog is being reverted because the rework was unsuccessful and probably tried to change too much what wasn't broken. Kog'Maw was already a pretty unique champion pre-update, and the rework went too far in attempting to double down on it when it wasn't necessary. The team will make adjustments to the kit to make sure he feels different, but the current W just isn't hitting the design goals the team wanted.

w is a retarded skill that should have never been released. the only way to keep kog maw balanced with that shit is to keep him in the dumpster.

Protect the Kog comps were already awesome to see without the rework. He alrady did his tank busting without the 5 attspd gimmick.

New Kog really didn't add much.
