Forgot to mention this would be for jungling.

Common mistake to use Kayle's ult to save people. Realistically, you should try to use it to mitigate the most damage. For example, enemy Blitzcranks pulls your ally into the fight. You shield the ally immediately as the enemy team dumps all their skills trying to burst them down. They escape without a scratch.
Not saying you shouldn't use it to save low-health people, but it can be used other ways as well.
It really wasn't. But I do agree with Riot that it didn't make sense for that particular skin. Plus I never play Kat so I guess whatever.
The most confusing part about it was the candy cane out of nowhere.
Which she still has.
So now I'm confused.
Ziggs' recall is the coolest. SNOWMAN from his bombs!
Right, but the logic was that it made no sense for Kat to get a stripper pole animation because it doesn't fit her; it works for Nidalee because she has her spear anyway. So the logic behind removing it seemed to be around the candy cane itself; if this was a Christmas Nidalee skin, for instance, the recall animation would have totally remained.
Anyway, the recall animation now is just kind of boring. Just have her twirl at the candy cane ala her ult or something. It seems more fitting than the kind of bored auto attack animation.
They don't want to admit that they made a stripper pole animation and hope everyone forgets about it.
The last two times I checked his stream he was playing Leona support. It wasn't good.
Here's the problem: that wasn't the argument at all. Their point was that it may be fine for Kat, but not fine for Kat in this particular skin. Since the skin is a lighthearted Christmas theme they thought a pole dance was out of place. Kind of like if Snowball Ziggs threw Easter eggs or if Bloodlord Vladamir made fart jokes (ew, blood farts). The skin needs to be consistent with itself, and they felt that the recall didn't make sense with the rest of the skin.
They already have one on Nidalee. Riven has a snow bunny outfit. Heartseeker Vayne is basically a Victoria's Secret model. I really don't think Riot has any problem making their girls sexy.

I always felt leveling up W was a better priority on him. Q is nice and all but I'd take his W stacks over the Q which I would probably only get to use max twice in a team fight.
I know that part as well and it's what I was saying when they first made the announcement of the recall animation being changed. They also made mention that it isn't out of place on a champion with an existing spear/staff/etc. to be used. The fact it doesn't fit the skin itself is the better (and, honestly, most appropriate) reason for it. The internal consistency is relevant to the skin itself, not the champion's lore.
They made reference to both that Katarina getting "and then suddenly, stripper pole" and "Christmas skin with stripper dance" in regards to the situation. I'm just wondering why bother leaving it in at all at this point.
Edit: I suppose the fact it's not "suddenly, stripper pole" removes any of the awkwardness of the candy cane at all. Though, it kind of leaves us with a useless prop at this point. Hence why I hope they plan to rework the recall some more instead of just leaving it as is. Because what we have now with the skin is very underwhelming.

I got banned for 3 days for calling out some instigating assholes on their shit. I have no regrets.
So..the Tribunal works?
Don't play Soraka dude, she's so boring :/
Might give him a spin, thanks.
Nothing actually wrong with Soraka, so it's all cool if you like her, I just think she's boring since you're basically a walking potion to your adc. I'm sure you'll have more fun with other supports, and be sure to mix up your roles, since this is the perfect time to screw up. Don't be like me and have 600+ matches and don't know how to jungle.
At least play Taric, he's free this week.
Also this is a pretty cool shirt. It's says LoL without having to be all like DUH BLITZ SO PRO
That'd be a pretty neat shirt even if you didn't play LoL.
Blitz is pretty pro though.

Annie.Whats with the girl and bear combo? Looks hilariously fun to play.
Wow, they really stepped all over diana too. poor girl :/. I feel that the BC nerf isnt enough, that thing needs to be gutted more or made more expensive

Why is this impressive to you?
My cute sensors just blew up

OMG at Diana nerfs, they're making plush rammus sad
Rammus is just happy to see you
Am I reading that right? Elise gets an aa-reset on spider W now? I suppose I could interpret that it would reduce the time before your next aa accordingly, but that seems clunky.
I think Elise is slowing usurping Rumble as my favorite champ.
Now she needs some better skins. Mecha/Battlecast Elise / Brown Recluse Elise (plays her "violin" when recalling) / Gentlewoman/Lady Elise (to compliment Cho) / Sk8r Gurl Elise (where she rides the board on her spider belly and then carries it in human form)

I think Black Cleaver is still core on some champs but it won't be stacked anymore.
Spider W didn't change her attack speed until after you auto attacked after enabling it. Now it will lower the delay from activation to her first attack. Basically, you don't need to time it to cast right before an auto attack anymore.
So, no, it is not a reset.
Unfortunately.
Was about to say, ~20m was pretty common for my Manamune first Kha'zix games to get Muramana. 25m for a Singed could be two finished Tears honestly.
It's still a good item. It just means that you'll do BC+Ghostblade+LW for getting true damage instead of BC+BC+BC (+LW, eventually). Or you won't do BC+BC+BC to get tanky, though I suppose you still can do that for the Health, CDR, AD, and triggering the passive faster ... I guess.
sounds like its something that used to activate on attack, and now it just activates when activated
dang i did the thing people do around here
Man that ult nerf of Diana pains me so much. I mean, that's a big fucking range nerf, 250 is a lot to lose on your signature skill, specially when they blew everything else up. I agree that she needed a nerf but I get the feeling she's just lost all her potential.
lol
800 instead of 750 is what I would have expected. 750 is quite a bit shorter than Q's max range (830).
We'll see how much this actually changes, though. I rarely land max range ults, for instance, barring chase situations. And, even then, I'd default to Flash+Q+R to guarantee the kill.

Was hoping my second hunch was wrong, oh well. The question I have then is this. What if you activate W in the window where you would've attacked using the new AS but not using the old speed? Will you attack immediately? Looks like it will be most ideal to treat it like an auto-attack reset and hit it right after an aa.
Teemo shroom nerf doesn't really affect him in this meta. I think he'll still be OP when going AS/AP/Split Push build. Needs a Chipmunk Skin.
I did the math right, did the reading wrong (read 650 instead of 750). I need glasses.
Also, no.
I'm glad I never picked her up. She was certainly a free win for a while, so it was tempting. This nerf fundamentally changes how she plays. People will have to relearn her.
Rengar and Diana got demolished.
I'll double check next time I play an Elise game. Getting a reset out of it at all seems a little weird so I'll get back to you whenever the patch hits.
-150 Damage on the Level 16 Shroom is almost 190 AP worth of damage lost. Personally, that's a pretty big deal for dealing with going all-in on a Level 11/16+ Teemo.
Wish they had done baby steps. The ult range is a big big nerf, so compounding the other two is really hammering it home.
I suppose, but I think Teemo's strength is his ability to snowball early and counter/control his lane. His late game shrooms don't affect that. Still, since it nerfed the base damage, that build doesn't get as much free damage. I probably would've liked to see a slightly bigger nerf to the base damage and an increase in the AP ratio.
Basically, the Teemo has to snowball or he's going to be useless.
That's true with most tops.
The thing with those shrooms is they were a death sentence to any types of squishies. Even if they don't die, they'd be hurt enough that they'd have to B, further losing out on money and exp.
I've noticed that support players either play too aggressive and get chunked therefore making them irrelevant during laning phase and/or die making them even more irrelevant later on or they just play too passive and don't do anything letting me get chunked while they do nothing. No trade. Nothing. *sigh* I'm sick of getting zoned because supports just die and I can't farm.
