Monkey King Patch Larger Than Normal (Note from me: 300MB)

Summoners!

We're making quite a few changes in the upcoming patch to League of Legends, and we wanted to let you know ahead of time that the patch is going to be larger than normal. You see, in this update we revisited some old favorites and gave them a more extensive overhaul than usual. As a result, the incoming patch will be around 300 MB in size. The wait may be a bit longer than you're used to, but rest assured it will be worth it.

Here are some of the more major changes coming in the new patch:

* A complete set of new animations for Janna, the Storm's Fury
* New animations for Tryndamere, the Barbarian King, along with a champion remake
* New animations for Kayle, the Judicator, along with a champion remake
* A suite of balance changes
* And, of course, Wukong, the Monkey King!


Consider this your fair warning that the next patch will be filled with awesome! Don't be alarmed by the size of the update when you launch your client after maintenance.

Here are some screenshots of the updates in store for you with this latest patch...

Continued on next post....

S2 just released a "Hero Spotlight" for their own "Monkey King".
Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

Also the 3 new models look exactly like the Chinese splash art ones.

Actually, I just realized that all 3 new models have the exact same look as the Chinese splash arts. I'mma edit my previous post to verify

Loving that new Janna :O

/mind blown

Like I said, Phreak didn't have time to talk about Corki because this is one huge patch. Season 2 doesn't look to be too far away.

Huh. I already have the Chinese splash art. Wonder what will happen to my patcher >_>.

Nothing. I've had the splash art for 3 or 4 patches now and nothing has broken.

I mean, if they patch the Chinese Art over the Chinese art. Lol.

Oh damn. I'm not sure if I like Chinese Janna or Hextech Janna more.

Also, I'm starting to think the single most important thing about team composition is packing a pomegranateload of CC. The harder the CC you bring, the better. After that, a decent damage/tankiness comp is just icing on the cake.

Teemo free week incoming. Never been a better time to try stress-relieving meditation.
I would like to try Sion.

Don't remind me of that game I had with several Southperryans.

Got my pomegranate unbelievably wrecked today by Jungle Alistar, Taric, Swain, GP, and J4. Granted I had some fucking stupid teammates...
Stomped in a game where my team was Amumu, TF, Annie, Corki, Twitch. Their team also packed healthy CC, but their Amumu was a joke. How do you think counter jungle Amumu went over? I'll answer. Poorly.

THE NOTES

 Spoiler

Corki
Phosphorus Bomb
No longer blinds
Damage reduced to 70/120/170/220/270 from 80/130/180/230/280
Gatling Gun attack damage ratio reduced to 20% from 25%
Missile Barrage: Big One bonus damage reduced to 50% from 60%

That's fair, imo.

 Spoiler

Swain
Ravenous Flock now prioritizes champions

Pretty big Swain buff.

 Spoiler

Tryndamere
General
New model and animations!
Tryndamere has been working out and is now approximately 20% bigger

what the dicks

Randuin's Omen and Shurelya's Reverie will now grant assists

THIS IS GOOD

Number of leaves is no longer visible in game lobbies

*Facedesk*

Fixed a bug that allowed banned Champions to be selected when using the Random option
Fixed a bug where certain spells would deal damage twice

Hooray!

Overall the patch seems good. Nerfs on champions that were expected to be hit, although Udyr and GP are still OP as pomegranate!

That Shen buff better be here soon, Guinsoo >:

I was honestly expecting Singed nerfs, surprised there weren't any.

Singed isn't OP in any shape or form. He's super tanky, and his damage is mostly from his poison. Don't chase him and ignore him in team fights and you're golden.

I swear....

Wukong's Crushing Blow's description sounds similar to Nasus's Siphoning Strike. Though his skill descriptions tell me he's more of an melee/bruiser/off-tank champ.

And yay for the "selecting random can bypass banned champs and allow you to get it!" bug. Luckily for me, I have seen no one abuse it in ranked in regards to people that I play with and against, but I've seen tons of SSes about that in the forums.

And lol @ Annie getting toned down a bit...

And GP didn't get affected too much at all! >_>

Tryndamere has been working out and is now approximately 20% bigger

LOL

* Tiger Stance Attack Damage ratio reduced to 1.5 from 1.7
* Fixed a bug where turtle stance was healing off of the damage dealt by Madred's Razor.

Aw damn it. Why Riot, why?! And no more OP healing in jungle...er I mean lane.
