The LoL Patches thread

The alternative is specific rebalancing for ARAM - higher cooldowns on poke skills or strong CC should fix most of the more prominent balance issues, but you still have problems like Tryndamere or Rammus where they struggle to be useful for most of the early/mid game.

Yeah, no. To date Riot has said they won't do environment-specific balancing.

[COLOR="#cc8899"]Yeah, I know. I just don't really see many other alternatives if they want to "balance" ARAM. The health spawns actually go quite far in mitigating poke damage, though, so I approve of them.

To date Malzahar is still my favorite ARAM champion. So easy to bounce E [/COLOR]

Eh, poke isn't as much of an issue in SR (usually more minions to hide behind/room to dodge) and cc champs only seemed to be banned because people don't want to deal with them, not because they're legitimately overpowered. Haven't really run into any specific examples of "this needs a longer f***ing cooldown."

Talking about Trynd and Rammus.

Ah. Well, this is true, but they have a bit more room to farm and be useful than in ARAM. Trynd needs a rework a bit more than Rammus does, I think.

Trynd needs a rework, Rammus needs some general love. He would be flourishing if his first clear wasn't so goddamn slow because the new items allow him to get tenacity out of the jungle while still building tabi for armor.

Trynd needs a rework a bit

They need to rework all of the melee carries, except for Gangplank who is okay compared to the others (Fiora, Yi, Kayle).

Tryndamere at level 6 can just turret dive whenever he pleases. Only thing that can stop him is some CC.

There is a new champ in the PBE called Thresh

I'm surprised riot decided to start the year by releasing a new support.

He looks really cool! Trying him ASAP (the pbe is patching).

OH MY GOD.
THRESH HAS A SCYTHE.

INSTABUY 7800 FIRST WEEK GO.

MUST GRIND IP.

[COLOR="#0000FF"]Corn, it finally happened.
lol[/COLOR]

Wait a second. Dont' tell me the scythe he uses in his Q is not his main weapon.

i think his regular attack its a long range scythe throwing something attack. His latern shield its certainly the most interesting skill of his kit.

[COLOR="#cc8899"]If the lantern only works for the first person to click it, I foresee LOTS of trolling by full HP tanks when the nearby ADC is at 5% health. Lol. Definitely a skill that needs teamwork to use properly. Still pretty cool.

Not sure what to make of him yet. Growing stronger without requiring gold to do so is interesting for sure.[/COLOR]

First its an allied only skill, and second i believe the one doing the clicking is thresh. Will have to see how the gist is with it.

I'm referring to allied tanks trolling the team. Or anyone with full health, really. It reads as the ally doing the clicking. Thresh being able to pull teammates that way would open the door to way too many troll plays.

[COLOR="#0000FF"]It looks more like a grappling hook to me..
He has so many interesting mechanics! ^^[/COLOR]

That passive... 1 AP, Armor, and MR for every soul he collects from enemy units that die near him.

[COLOR="#0000FF"]I heard it goes down by 0.1 for every soul he has.
And he doesn't gain armor/mres per level. I think I saw that on S@20 too.[/COLOR]

I'm not too sure what I feel about him.

I mean, it's not a legitimate scythe. It's more like Akali's kai set. Not to mention it's chained to a lanturn and all.

Plus, he seems quite boring in my eyes =/.
