Nerfing Urgot? I guess people can't dodge acid.

I caught the enemy team at Baron. Called the team over, and initiated, with the notion to steal.
I didn't steal.
But I killed 3 of their teammates and assisted in the death of a 4th before dying as Yorick
Pretty sure the game turned right then and there.
Edit: 1326 what what

Watching patch preview..........
AHRI NOOO AHRI
Base damage decrease and ratio up mean laning phase nerf, she used to be able to kill people as soon as she hit 6, now I have to buy item?
But she gets a new skin so it's all okay!
I don't see a problem here.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I figured Graves was going to get the nerf bat. I almost bought him as my last purchase, but I figured he was ripe to get nerfed. Now I wonder who the AD Carry flavour of the month will be?!?
Also the Swain buff seems pretty pimp. I don't own him, but think he might end up being my next purchase.

ezrael if his buff went through.

Problem is I'm of the opinion that skill shot characters are inherently at a disadvantage in LoL verses non skill shot champs. That's a talk for another day though.
Tempted to buy and try Swain next, but I reckon with these new buffs he's probably going to be free next week, hopefully so anyway.
Hopefully next weeks free-week is pretty decent and I can spend all the IP that I'm going to be collecting this weekend on new champions. I only have like 20-ish champions, I never seem to buy many. I just buy a couple for each role and play them all the time.
I've wanted to try jungle Skarner for the longest time now, but usually every time I see him in a game the team that has him on their team loses. He seems decent, just not decent enough, from what I've seen anyway.

Graves and Darius nerfs are good.
Urgot nefs are in line with the Vayne nerfs - will make him useless in competitive play but more balanced.

IMO the AD carries post-patch will be:
TOP: Corki, Kog'maw
GOOD: Ashe, Varus, Graves
STILL GOOD: Tristana, Ezreal, Miss Fortune, Sivir, Kennen, Caitlyn
OK: Vayne, Urgot, Twitch

I just had my most amazing jungle Udyr ever. Amumu = shut down HARD.
When the match started we quickly agreed on counterjungling since we know Amumu really needs that blue, so I took bear first. Odds were in our favor because we have strong Lv1 champs. We camped the bush between midlane and blue. Cass decides to go through there presumably to leash, so she got murdered very promptly. 5 seconds later blue spawns but no one was there. We stole blue ASAP even if it was a big risk now. Afterwards we retreated and gave Kass our blue.
I proceed to go do my first 1-2 clears, successfully ganked mid, then bought cloth, wards and potions to counterjungle. I think I landed a kill on Amumu, then later on got killed by enemy Cass because I got too greedy. I got it back with another gank anyway.
Throughout the match, I timed blue spawns like I've never did before. I was also warding more than usual. Graves and Leona straight up murdering bottom which gave me more time to counterjungle and gank other lanes. I don't think Amumu ever got blue for longer than 10 seconds lol. Another thing I liked was that Kass somehow was always there at the right time.
You might be wondering about the derpy builds of Cass and Amumu. They just decided to throw the match away after some time.

You can play with Bad-GAF.
Just nearly had a dedicated ranked griefer on my team again, it had been a while. Thankfully someone else dodged. They said stuff like we would lose, -13, "yes i griefer" in the ranked champion select lobby. Take a look at their last 10 games, including the triple armor one, or the 0/22/0 game with all shoes: http://www.lolking.net/summoner/na/23563953#history
Rayven, is there any way to report someone for review like that if they weren't actually in your game? I assume eventually the tribunal will look at it but it sucks for ranked people until it happens.

You lucked out big time there. Jesus, how can people even be like that? And why are they always in my games too?!
I think I've only ever had one dedicated griefer in a ranked game, so presumably it is fairly rare. The guy announced he'd feed, ran up the middle and side lanes to go 0/15 or 0/22 before surrender or whatever, the whole gamut. You'd think it takes so long to get to level 30 people wouldn't want to risk their accounts, but apparently not (or they don't actually get banned doing it).
Some of the griefers I have encountered, have stated how they only get banned for a day or two, so it's worth it "for the lols". Seems to be more common on EU-West based off of the games I have played and what I have read.
The graves buffs are completely fine and justified in my opinion. The w is completely game beakIng and op in my opinion. I actually think it could be nerfed even more. The q change makes it so you actually have to get close to burst which is the total poin of the champ anyway. Basically graves just is going to need a little more skill to play now but the burst and lane dominance is still there just harder to achieve now.

I just had the weirdest game.
I select Garen, and the next guy picks Singed and locks.
"IT'S ALL OVER", they exclaim. "We have no jungle!", they cry.
Indeed. So we go Garen, Ashe|Janna, Ryze|Singed.
30-6. They surrender at 20.
The wonders of low-ELO matches.

Yeah I hate playing against Graves because he hit me for TONS OF DAMAGE from so far away while Ezreal's Q hits him for 1/3 of what a single Q of his does.
