I thought those items sound crazy, like the disguise-as-teammate item, but then I realized they're just for the new game mode.

The Gangplank update sounds cool though I fear I won't get to play him if he becomes often picked or banned as a result. Does defusing one keg defuse all chain kegs though? It looks like to me it would be difficult to hit anyone with the kegs aside from waiting on people to facecheck bushes, or dropping one almost on top of an enemy.

Defusing a keg only defuses one. Gangplank on the other hand can set them all off if they're near each other.

His area control will be pretty damn scary.

Like Breezy said, it looks like the enemy can only defuse one at a time. A ranged character would probably have no issues but I can imagine GP facing a melee enemy, he'll be able to set them off himself and really mess some people up. Line the river top with some caskets and link it back to one near him. If the enemy laner tries to defuse one or a jungler comes, just set the one off next to him. Boom.

It's some teemo level stuff.

 

[drawkcaB]

Me too. They are all likely over powered, but some concepts could work in SR.

Yep, some really cool concepts in there. Years of playing this game and I still think the biggest problem of the core game itself (i.e. not the client stuff like replays, etc.) is the item selection and pathing.

Hopefully this mode and overhauling almost the entire set of AP items are evidence that we're going to see some real shit come S6.

Some potentially really neat stuff for jungle Gangplank with keg shenanigans.

They didn't show it but he can also shoot the keg to set it off. I also believe that Sheen will 'proc' on the kegs, meaning they'll do the upgraded damage.

 

[Ghost is Bad]

i just want some dota type items in league

yeah they have shivas and thornmail which is kinda cool but imagine an aghs or abyssal blade.

Aghanim's would be awesome.

 

[Stone Ocean]

GP looks cool.

MF rework sounds perfect as long as they cleaned up her E and scaling.

 

[Einbroch]

Her Impure Shots triggering her passive is a really nice change.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Road Warrior MF looks like her chinese splash so I guess they're gonna use that now

Her Impure Shots triggering her passive is a really nice change.

Plus sounds like she doesn't lose Strut from minion damage anymore so essentially she has an on demand escape

I'm pretty sure minion damage will still pop the passive. It says it still drops off with direct, non-periodic damage. This says to me things like cinderhulk won't pop it but minions still will.

Welp. I hope the W version of it can't be removed for the duration of it at least

 

[garath]

Yeah. If it's Eve style, pop it to get a quick burst of speed, then that's pretty nice. Will make up for her lack of an escape otherwise. Then again, she'd be using it for fighting so if she needed to run it likely won't be up.

Will have to see.

 

[Stone Ocean]

SLOW STACKING RULES Slows beyond the first are applied at half value ⇒ Only the strongest slow is applied

This seems pretty nice

 

[Leezard]

Singed buffs

THE MAN WHO LAUGHS Singed now laughs whenever he flings an enemy

 

[Tizoc]

wOAH Hourglass gives less AP now, not much of a biggie if you build it with Rabadon, but yo Luden's Echo
COST 3300 gold ⇒ 3000 gold
ABILITY POWER 120 ⇒ 100
MOVEMENT SPEED 7% ⇒ 10%

Rylai
COST 2900 gold ⇒ 3000 gold
ABILITY POWER 100 ⇒ 100 (unchanged)
HEALTH 400 ⇒ 400 (unchanged)
RECIPE CHANGE Giant's Belt + Blasting Wand + Amplifying Tome + 605 gold ⇒ Giant's Belt + Needlessly Large Rod + Amplifying Tome + 715 gold
SINGLE TARGET SLOW 35% ⇒ 40%
AREA OF EFFECT SLOW (INSTANT) 15% ⇒ 40%
DAMAGE OVER TIME OR MULTI-HIT SLOW 15% for 1.5 seconds ⇒ 20% for 1 second

So no even Aoe attacks will apply 40% slow; It'd still be usless on Teemo though since his shrooms slow for more?

Liandry's better now IMO
TOTAL COST2900 gold ⇒ 3000 gold
RECIPE Haunting Guise + Amplifying Tome + 980 gold ⇒ Haunting Guise + Blasting Wand + 650 gold
ABILITY POWER 50 ⇒ 80

Curious to try the new Will of Ancients on Morde, wonder how his health recovery will be like now...

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Finally after 2 years they fix Pulsefire Ezreal

Also mid-ADCs will be popular with sated developer

 

[garath]

I'm still saying Shyvana with the new devourer is going to be tier 1 jungler, pick or ban without any changes to her current style of play. It's scary as hell.

Devourer+Randuin= RiP lane.

 

[Leezard]

Kayle jungle is probably coming back too. She was insane with Feral Flare.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

Deadnames and Heavy getting skins

 

[PhillipCostigan]

HHNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[Leezard]

Another Aatrox skin? It feels like he just recently got his mecha skin.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

GREAT MORE FUCKING GAREN AND AATROX SKINS. And fortune. And twisted fate.

Don't make one for Fizz or whatever. Cause he actually fits and not Quinn.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

GP voice

 

[Bacon]

Another Aatrox skin? It feels like he just recently got his mecha skin.

Mecha Aatrox was released in July 2014

 

[PhillipCostigan]

And yet it's been almost 3 years since we got a Fiora skin.

 

[drawkcaB]

Mecha Aatrox was released in July 2014

Time flies.

Can't wait to pick up Tahm. Goddam I love the look of that kit. Also, I take it no one has bothered to try out Zilean since they fixed his Q-W-Q timings? Tried it out to see how much of a difference it makes in a custom bot game and it feels great to use now. Gonna try him again in the next few days in a match.

 

[Leezard]

Mecha Aatrox was released in July 2014

That's one year ago, aatrox mains are getting spoiled.

 

[Tizoc]

Mecha Aatrox was released in July 2014

Yeah that's the last skin I remember him getting.
Pirate Garen needs to have an accompanying unique set of voice lines :X

 

[Stone Ocean]

Fuck Quinn, look at this shit

YASSSS

 

[PhillipCostigan]

Fuck Quinn, look at this shit

you take that back you fuck

SPLASH ART FOR GAREN QUINN AND AATROX

 

[BreezyLimbo]

What the FUCK did they do to Gangplanks voice.

 

[Stone Ocean]

you take that back you fuck

SPLASH ART FOR GAREN QUINN AND AATROX

Ok I take it back with that splash

Plus sounds like MF ain't getting jack shit for balance updates so fuck her and her update

 

[drawkcaB]

Can't imagine I'll be enjoying Sated Devourer if it turns out to be strong.



<--- I understand the possible irony.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Well, this is what I see happening-
ADC mids will become a thing.
The number of junglers that will become viable.
New Autoattack meta.

It'll be shit.

 

[Musician]

As someone who used to be killer at Kayle jungle, this patch might be the one for me. Or the one when she is FOTM and I'm no longer special

 

[Tizoc]

you take that back you fuck

SPLASH ART FOR GAREN QUINN AND AATROX

Gatdayum.

 

[Einbroch]

HHNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I will buy all the Quinn skins.

 

[garath]

Fuck Quinn, look at this shit

YASSSS

Omg. Maybe I'll have MORE MF skins than ashe skins soon lol.

 

[Einbroch]

Looks like Riot finally figured out how to make female faces attractive on their models.

 

[Tizoc]

Ah the good old days when Graves and TF were best of bros

How do dreadlocks even work on white people?

 

[Stone Ocean]

Impure Shots [W] - Active changed to "Active: Gains 50/55/60/65/70 % Attack Speed for the next 3 basic attacks and automatically grants Strut." cooldown lowered to 12 seconds (down from 16)

Are you fucking kidding me?

 

[drawkcaB]

I was reading the patch notes and I don't think Riot understands how Riptide's damage actually works if they think it'll cap at 300 at rank 5. Doesn't bode well for properly balancing my favorite jungle tank.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Are you fucking kidding me?

WHAT'S WRONG

YOU GUYS LIKED JAYCE

SO WE'RE GOING TO GIVE MF JAYCE ABILITIES WITH A TWIST:SHE GETS STRUT

Petition to change topic title to: Stealing Abilities From Itself since 2009

 

[Nekofrog]

gameplay update seems to be a bit generous when describing the mf update.

 

[Einbroch]

Are you fucking kidding me?

Lolol.

Oh Riot.
