Sejuani Patch Notes! Analysis inc once I'm done reading it
PvP.net
- Moar space for people to join your Ranked team!
- The "name squatting" deal means that ranked teams that form will have to play games instead of existing just in name only and not doing jack
- Nuuuu winter map's gone
Champions:
- Ahri: I felt like her mana costs for her Q might have a tad bit too low; this nerf wasn't that surprising. Also, the nerfs to her ultimate were a bit surprising, but having a triple dash ulti up every minute to a minute 20 seconds might be a bit too much sometimes.
- Dr. Mundo getting some needed buffs. The base AS and AS/level buffs will definitely help him a bit. Same goes with reducing Burning Agony's health cost and having his ultimate available a bit more often.
- Fizz changes being implemented in the upcoming patch after being announced in the previous patch, but not implemented. Nothing new here.
- Graves getting nerfs on his Q and his R. This was somewhat expected; spamming Buckshot with the appropriate support sustaining you with mana was pretty lame. And I felt his ultimate was a tad bit too powerful at times.
- J4 getting some viability buffs. Hopefully these changes will make him less mana-starved
- Nunu's getting some HUGE buffs; dat AS/level and base AS change will help him out a long way (esp when he Blood Boils himself; Blood Boil is a huge AS multiplier), as well as stacking up his passive a bit faster.
- Riven nerfs were previously announced in the patch preview video. Not only nerfing her sustain in lane, but also "reallocating" her damage from one of her abilities to another.
- Shaco nerfs to JitB = no double buff for a level 2 gank anymore?
- Skarnerssss getting nerfs to his Q mana costs and the slow proc. Being one of the strongest junglers out there to date, it can't be denied that Riot had to look at Skarnerssss to see where his extremely strong points are as a jungler and tone it down a bit. Also, significant CD increase on his ultimate.
- Rammus nerfs. Powerball ganks are pretty damn powerful, so no surprise why the duration got shortened. Then again, in compensation, Riot increased his initial MS boost when Powerball is first used. While I see this as a significant nerf to Rammus's really great ganking capabilities, its too hard to tell how hard it'll gimp him.
