The LoL Patches thread

I get that, Raul. Truly. It's just fun to think of ways to try and it works pretty well as an exercise in understanding the limitations of the lantern mechanic.

I was talking to Loose. Who apparently still doesn't get that even in Dota, that mechanic would be broken.

Hey [MENTION=44]Loose[/MENTION]

Lmfao. Welcome to Air Darius

New patch in the PBE, some more little nerfs on Evelynn R, Thresh no longer gets MR from his passive, his abilities finally got icons and a nerf/buff/something weird done to crystaline flask, 120 Hp and 60 mp for 12 secs but flask now cost 335 instead of 225

Oh and a little less HP and Mana Per level for thresh.

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

IMHO, Crystalline Flask was way too gold-efficient for the effects it gave. Especially when it beats the previous standard for early-game sustain - red potions - in gold costs and for the sustain it gave just after a few trips back to base. Because of that, I was expecting Riot to do something with the Flask in some way or form in the coming patch.

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

Sadly it kinda nerfed the other side of the strategy, where a champ with no poke could CS without a care for the champ with the poke to leave him too low. Specially true in the mid machups of AP vs AD casters/Bruisers.

Welp, turns out that Thresh actually can allow you to pull people to your fountain or skarner ult to your fountain.

I somehow don't expect this to make it out of the PBE even still.

Patch notes

[COLOR="#0000FF"]

Targeting cone is now attached to Mordekaiser

For all the old cone ability users.
FINALLY.
Now change Nid's pounce to follow the mouse! :c[/COLOR]

Annie:
Incinerate
Targeting cone is now attached to Annie

OH THANK GOD FINALLY.

Blitzcrank:
Mana Barrier
Cooldown increased to 90 seconds from 60
Rocket Grab
Will now give vision when it hits a target

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).

Cho'Gath:
Feral Scream
Targeting cone is now attached to Cho'Gath

[COLOR="#cc8899"]
See Annie comment.[/COLOR]

Diana:
Lunar Rush
Cast range increased to 825 from 750

[COLOR="#cc8899"]
Neat. May start seeing her in the jungle again.[/COLOR]

Mordekaiser:
Siphon of Destruction
Targeting cone is now attached to Mordekaiser

Yay

Vi:
Excessive Force
Increased the responsiveness of Vi's attacks after using Excessive Force
[COLOR="#cc8899"]
Good. Her first auto after using Excessive Force was extremely slow to respond.[/COLOR]

Jungle:
Jungle
Wraith
Base gold increased to 30 from 25
Base health increased to 1000 from 750
Lesser Wraith
Base health reduced to 150 from 250
Giant Wolf
Base gold increased to 55 from 40
Base health increased to 1100 from 900
Wolf
Base health reduced to 200 from 300
Golem
Base gold increased to 55 from 45
Base health increased to 1200 from 1000
Small Golem

Lovely. More nerfs to AOE junglers.

Crystalline Flask
Cost increased to 345 from 225
Now restores 120 health and 60 mana over 12 seconds from 100 health and 40 mana over 10 seconds per charge
[COLOR="#cc8899"]
I guess I start with one less ward now on Leona or go back to wards/pots.[/COLOR]

Philosopher's Stone
Now correctly grants 5 gold per 10 seconds (was 4 gold per 10 seconds)
[COLOR="#cc8899"]
Oh. Well that's good. Didn't even notice that it wasn't working correctly.[/COLOR]

Katarina
Base movement speed reduced to 345 from 350
Sinister Steel
Movement speed adjusted to 15/20/25/30/35% from 12/20/28/36/44%

Dammit.. It's not by much at least.. I think..

Archangel's Staff
Ability power increased to 60 from 50
Mana charge amount increased to 6 from 5

Neat, now I can get my Seraph's sooner on Veigar

Will of the Ancients
New recipe: Kage's Pick + Hextech Revolver
Total gold cost is now 2550 (combine cost: 585)

50 more gold, meh.. On the other hand, I can make my Kage's Pick into this when I play support!

Liandry's Torment
Health increased to 300 from 200
Ability power reduced to 60 from 70

Cool, 100 more HP, but 10 AP loss ):

Darius in bot games now. lolololol.
Also, extra time to finish that penta? yes pls.

Actually the gold increase to Will of the Ancients in negligible since it builds out of a gold/5 item.

I like the ranked changes they announced. Reminds me of SC2 laddering.

Turrets
Now prioritize minions in the following order:
Player-owned minions (ex: Tibbers, Zyra Plants)
Super Minions, Cannon Minions
Melee Minions
Caster Minions

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.

[COLOR="#0000FF"]Fixed a bug where champions affected by near-sightedness (Graves's Smokescreen, Nocturne's ultimate) could attack their team mates

lolwut
Kinda makes sense for nocturne, cause it's called paranoia. [/COLOR]

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.

You just now gotta time your ultra pushing with cannon minions, since turrets doesn't change targets until the current one is dead or a enemy draws aggro.

Teemo is stupid and should be deleted period.

Vi is on a decent place, there are some counters that can whack her before she whacks them (To this day i have yet to beat a Wukong in lane, maybe a darius too, but then again its DARIUS)
