The LoL Patches thread

Zhonya's Hourglass: Now places your champion into Stasis for 2.5 seconds, up from 2 seconds.

WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS!? Now Morgana is almost 100% invincible during her Ult.

Silence her before she pops zhonyas but I understand the frustration. Most of the time morgana doesn't pop it until after 1-2 seconds so they don't escape.

There's a new Rengar hidden passive. Seems like bonethooth necklace's name changes to "head of kha'zix" when you kill him.

It's either a nerf or a buff depending on how you look at it. On one hand the effect lasts longer, but on the other hand it makes you immobile for a longer period of time making the decision to activate it more riskworthy because you can't reposition. If this is too vague, consider how it'd be if the effect lasted 10 seconds. Specifically in Morgana's case I'd say it buffs her slightly though. I disagree that she's OP though.

Tried Kha'Zix and I'm definetely buying him. Too bad his top lane is mediocre compared to his jungling, but it will give me an opportunity to learn jungling.

Intermediate bots now wear random skins instead of just using the default skins for each champion. This is the best change ever.

Well this is awesome.

The new look doesn't seem to fit the character for some reason. Feels way too out of place.

I skimmed through the Soraka remodel thread on the LoL forums and I think someone there hit the nail on the head: old Soraka felt very wise and matronly, and that is not at all the feeling conveyed in her new splash art. Don't get me wrong, I think Soraka was really overdue for a remodel, but I don't think the remodel (particularly the splash art) fits the personality or character of Soraka.

I am also personally disappointed her goat feet were toned down so much. I thought they really helped to play up the whole mystical thing she had going on, but now I feel like she has disproportionately small feet/legs. I'm still happy she was finally redone, but do I think they could have been a little more faithful to the original character.

NO ONE EXPECTS THE BANANA.

Wait... what?

 Spoiler

This conveys wisdom? I'm lost.

Original Soraka read as a much older woman than her new model/splash does. Even her original dance was a graceful twirl, as compared to the sexy booty shaking she does now. To me, the remake seemed more like "MAKE HER A YOUNGER SEXY ANIME VERSION OF THIS CHARACTER" than anything.

Not gonna lie, the original model is fugly as all hell, but after the rework she really doesn't feel like the same character to me.

Well...... she did get head-to-toe, Q-to-R, and lore revamp. So clearly they weren't even trying to have her be the same character anymore anyways.

And also the fact that Riot is hesitant to release an ugly or an actual monster-esque female (i.e., DotA 2's Broodmother), and sticking with the basic eyecandy with boobs and butts. Sad to see Riot still get this part of the game wrong, when other MOBAs have done this and haven't crashed and burned as a result.

If you think Priscilla wasn't released solely because she was too monstery you're uh, slightly jaded.

Yes, not releasing a monstrous female sans the boobies and the booties was the reason other MOBAs failed.

Riot is being hesitant to release one as if that will actually happen.

So the leaked Lu Bu Jarvan and Zhao Yun Xin skins will actually be released after all.

Oh I just don't read good anymore~ \o/

Still waiting for the Xin Zhao Mulan edition.

And CholeraNinja could do the voice overs for the skin, just because.

And Rengar gets nerfed:

[W] - Battle Roar - Now Deals 60/100/140/180/220 (+0.8) (down from 75/120/165/210/255 (+0.8)) magic damage to enemiesin the area.
Grants 15/20/25/30/35 (down from 20/30/40/50/60) Armor and Magic resist for3 seconds if an enemy is hit.

Ouch.
