However, I'm still preserving hope that Riven won't be nerfed anymore (considering how fast they buffed her after she came out), and she will still at least be viable top.
I'm still curious to see what technical feature they needed for the new champion to work.
And lo...

Bet ya anything they couldn't figure out how to get a champion on a mount. I expect more mounted champions coming soon...
P.S. 43 GAFfers in the GAF room! woot!
And yet we couldn't get an inhouse game going. We HAD a full inhouse game, AND two spectators, and someone didn't have 14 champions since the maker didn't make blind pick. Then when we remade, we magically only had 8 people (instead of the 12 who were there before), and apparently the people who decided not to play didn't inform the rest of us the second time. Communication failure. ;(
In other news, the Riven nerf announcement cursed me. I lost 2/3 of my Riven games today. I had good ratios and was near the top of the team in stats, but I feel like Riven isn't very good at initiating so I probably made bad decisions. It's tough if the team doesn't have a tank and I'm not sure of the best approach to take there.
Where'd you go. I went to take a piss and you went mia.
They're nerfing her regen (which I don't agree with, it's her only sustain).
But they're shifting damage from her W to Q, which I do agree with. It makes leveling Q before W viable.
The thing is that even though the Cait nerf was minor, it seems to have pushed her even further to unused territory. Pretty much everyone does Graves/Vayne (then Kogmaw/Tristana), and only rarely Caitlyn.
Going out for dinner. Said it on mumble.

nos, SD, I am so sorry. 
One thing I may not have realized much before today: Sheen only does bonus damage from your base attack damage (including level bonuses), unlike the double AP bonus from lich bane. An extra 80 damage every two seconds doesn't seem so impressive when you put it that way, but I guess it helps.
it's actually quite an impressive damage boost for characters that can proc it constantly (skarn, ez, corki, etc.), for its price, though if I am trying to go triforce I usually get a phage first.

Pffft, I just felt bad for them. No need to get all antsy about it.
Also, +80 damage every 2 seconds is like a free IE. Not bad at all.

Also, since it is base damage, it scale with your level. The extra mana can give champion like Irelia/Ez spam more of their skill, the AP that come with it also scale with a few of their ability.
After playing Victor I can safely say he could use a little fine-tuning.
1. Lower CD on his ult.
2. Buff to his yellow and blue augments (his red one is pretty good)
In particular they just need to up the stat boosts. The ability powerups are fine. Well I'm thinking yellow could use an additional range boost to get the most out of the augment made specifically for durability. Maybe a slight 10% range increase in addition to MS boost.
3. Make his Q instantaneous.
In all honesty that's about it really aside from the bugfixes and etc. He's wonderful in a teamfight and I actually like the augment item idea, but all of them outside of the death one isn't terribly worth it.

I guess we can expect buffs to both Vladimir and Shen if both the new Ninja Tabi and Iron Spark are included in the new patch.

The poppy was the only one that killed me, and I had my flat armour rune page on by mistake so I was pretty tanky. So that mr went far in game, doesn't reflect on the board

Yeah I normally run ad quints and armour pen reds, but that page at the time was like flat armour and health runes in every slot. I was surprised how little of difference it made in clear time / ganks to not have those there for the minor stat boosts
A bit like this one, it's unfair to kill everyone and being a junglerIt's illegal to build armor. You should all know that by now.
That's what I run as well. Start with a Vamp Scepter at wraiths (I'll invade if the other jungler is blue dependent) and get a leash at red. Lee is such an entertaining jungler because he can do so many routes and exceptional ganks - if you land those Q's.

That's really really sad.
I could never, ever do that. Hell, one IRL friend, who also plays LoL, arrived at my house while I was finishing a game. While we had a good time discussing strats and commenting on the game as I finished it, I still felt weird doing that.
And that's with them being cool with it! I could never ditch a group of friends because I ran off to START of game of LoL, that's ridiculous.

eh hey can literally go any route and get the same speed. Normally I go leash on red -> wraiths -> gank and then just clear accordingly
I usually only check out the top streamer on twitch (sooner/basickz/wolfy/cadburry), does own3d have a lot of entertaining streamers?
VV Edit: I guess I'm not really concerned if they are top players, just if they are fun to watch/listen to.
Most league streamers are on Own3d. You should probably start checking out Own3d.
I think TheOddOne is pretty entertaining.
I've heard rumblings that the new technology that sejuani is using is the ability to have a mounted champion. Thats cool I guess.... But I was hoping for a new gameplay technology. : (

Own3d is by far the most popular choice among the higher ranked players.

Unless you can mount/dismount the boar, then wouldn't Nunu already be using that technology?

I suspect this is the case as well.

"LoL is held together by duct tape"
I know what you mean. But if she can't mount/dismount the boar, then I don't see how they couldn't implement it before. They'll still move as one unit. Like a Skarner using his ultimate on an enemy. Maybe I just want it to be something "bigger".

Think about it this way.
Nunu is a single champion, a block, with Nunu+Wilfred or whatever his name is, painted on that block. They move as a single champion.
Sej can possibly doing attacks, cast spells, or auto attack while the "boar" part of her is running, sniffing, yelling, etc. She is essentially two blocks, one girl, one boar.
E.G. Sej is running towards you and casts W. The "girl" block waves her arms around like the chicken dance for the cast, and the boar is still moving. That boar has to keep a steady animation going, while the girl can change animation at any time, and trying to keep them as one "block" would take a ton of animation memory (accounting for every combination of movement and casting, etc) and a waste of resources.
^ My total guess of what the tech is, anyways.
