I reallly like the new Vladimir splash art.
God.. I really miss this game right now. I'm definitely gonna give it a play next time I go home. I miss destroying with Vladimir/Viktor/Swain/Orianna.

Luckily for you, 2 of those champs are great, one is great (though underrated), but Viktor has some problems.

Yeah, Viktor has issues, but he's definitely a fun champ to play. And his high damage potential and silencing, homing ultimate make really fun to abuse others with. hehe.
Which one is underrated? i'm guessing you mean Orianna.
Apparently in the most recent patch, Riot bugged quite a bit of the auto-attack reset abilities, which cause a noticable delay between an autoattack and using the ability. Those include Trundle's Q, Leona's Q, and Xin's Q takes longer to get all three hits off.

Swain.
Orianna is known to be really really good, she's just super hard to play. But when you play her well... hot damn. See Toyz's play in the finals.
Swain is really underrated though.
I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this yet, but the end date for S2 got pushed back to November 6th, to coincide with the drastic changes to LoL.

Has there been any confirmations or speculations or anything about these so-called changes?
The only thing I heard about was
- boots costing maybe 500g so boots + 3 isn't the standard anymore (think i heard it from you)
- a massive change to the jungle again
For curiosity sake, does anyone know the exact change to the jungle before? I think it was when S2 just started but it was how the jungle became more difficult or something.
Actually, the jungle became easier, not harder. You used to need sustain or passive defensive buffs to be able to jungle, camps do less damage overall now and there were no health sigils in the small camps before. The small camps started respawning faster since before you just cleared your whole jungle and ganked because there was nothing else to do. Jungle gives less gold now, I think.

Yeah, and this kinda put single-target junglers like Fiddle and Warwick in a bad place because they cleared much more slowly and other champions who were better at ganking or farming took over.
IIRC the reds said they wanted to strike a balance between the jungle in S1 and the one in S2 so that single-target junglers could come back but they wouldn't be the only people who could jungle with any degree of safety.
Elise's splash art is quite disappointing in my eyes actually... her face looks really creepy, but her legs.. they look bendy, like they have no bones. Maybe it's just me. (obviously I mean her lady-legs, not her spider legs)
EDIT: Though looking at her in-game model... maybe it's intentional, I dunno. I don't like the look regardless.
Elise
Headmistress Fiora looks way better with the dress in black. That scarf and those leggings. Gawd, definitely the sexiest skin in LoL.
Death Blossom Elise... I don't get it. She's a plant? wonderful. I heard that her launch skin would be scarier than her classic one, but i'm not seeing it. Doesn't look all that great in game either.
EDIT: LOL, my friend just called Elise's cleavage "Dat summoners rift". I laughed so hard.
