Dredragon Wrote:NOOO, NOT CRYSTALINE FLASK. WHY WOULD THEY INCREASE THE PRICE. Fairy pendant, 2 pots and crystaline flask was the best start everrr. ; - ;

WillDaSnail Wrote:Also, I started to notice that some people have started taking Crystalline Flask and red pots as starting items just to outsustain the opposition early on. And the "turtling/stalemating and outsustaining 'til the other side drops" strategy is a thing that I find somewhat questionable. =P

Good nerf on passive, vision on grabbed target makes sense (though always hilarious to think you whiffed then suddenly have an enemy carry appear next to you).

I really like this. Under tower with your own creeps attacking the other wave, I really had to guess early on when I could prep caster minions before a tower hit them and a lot of the time my creeps would end up doing too much damage to them after the tower hit them late.

Re-buff to Diana's R is awesome; probably will start using her more again.

Jamesie Wrote:Too bad it makes some of the champions good for pushing (Heimerdinger, Zyra, Yorick, Elise) shit (in regards to pushing) because now their pets are now (even more) useless in taking down towers.

Also no Teemo (or Vi) nerfs. Riot is stupid.
