peach, you edited that pomegranate in when I made my Armored Armored Warbear

Regardless, the chinese art gives a better visual as to what he's, most likely, going to look like

Points covered in the video:

- Sivir getting changed up a bit. Passive is remade into "increased MS when chasing an enemy" type of deal. And Ricochet is changed into an on-hit effect instead of a toggle. Also, her AA range is increased to be on par with other ranged AD carries.
- Jungling will now be "noob-friendly" (not exactly sure how this will play out). Rewards scale better as game progresses, and every camp now has a buff. (aka, the green buff on the wolf, wraith, and the double golem camp). Wonder what that so-called "green buff" will be. :f6: Also, jungle camp respawn time will be decreased so that if the situation arises that "I wanna gank, but all of my ally lanes are pushed/not right time to gank", you can continue to jungle and still keep up level-wise.
- Lizard buff (red buff) getting nerfed a bit for melee champions; apparently its too "OP".
- Minion AA damage getting nerfed so aggression can be encouraged without eating a faceload of minion AA that adds up to quite a bit of damage after aggroing the enemy champ. (PCM OP? jk jk). In exchange though, red pot healing effects is going to be nerfed a bit.

I mean you edited it into your post after I made my Warbear reference, because I quoted your post

I guess they scrapped the "Lizard Buff now gives haste" idea.
Also, do they even know what "Lane Passivity" even is? They keep saying how they want to reduce it, yet a good chunk of those changes only ENCOURAGE it.

Tempted to pick up Teemo and Dr Mundo... Paying IP for them 'cos I wanna use my last 306 RP on 2 skins in this sale, but idk what to do.

Might pick up Twitch, too, but not his skin 'cos it looks too similar to his original so I don't think it's worth the price .

Then again, Badger Teemo doesn't look any different 'cos you can barely see him over his hat, lol, but I know I like Teemo so I WILL play as him in the future.

Decisions, decisions.

I wonder what happened to Jax.

At the moment I'm trying to adapt a "CARRY HARDER" Aynia sorta attitude, but it's a bit hard against a fed enemy Tryndamere.

fed enemy Tryndamere.

Tryndamere.

That's your answer.

I actually bought a Thornmail on Cait to help counter him >_>. I believe Manu got a Randuin's and was working on a Frozen Heart with his Soraka. Our Singed...just failed.

I think I should've sold my Mercury Treads for a Ninja Tabi. I was worried about the Sona and the Amumu but I realize now I should've been more worried about the Ezreal and the Tryndamere.

I think will meant get trynd to carry hard.

Actually my point was about how Trynd is currently an extremely viable solo top due to what he has right now, and can turn into a hyper carry if he gets fed and/or free-farmed (notice how I mentioned that in the last page?)

Tryndamere is also good, but only if you know how to play him well. Done right, he's nasty, can (theoretically) infinite sustain in lane, and if fed/farmed enough, hyper carry late game.

(Inb4 Trynd QQ)

(And lol @ the inb4)

Also, the new jungling changes will include a monster with a so-called "sigil" in every camp (aka the green buff). This is what Xypherous had to say about it:

I believe these sigils have an immediate one-shot effect of restoring health based on missing life - unsure of the specific numbers or ratios though.

And no, I wasn't the owner of the jungle changes - so forgive me if I can't fill in on a lot of specifics.

From Guinsoo:

I'm planning on writing up a bigger post, as I've been involved with the jungle changes for about the last 6 months. But to answer the theme of the thread,

Rewards have been pushed such that the bigger monsters in a camp grant a higher % of the gold and exp, plus heal the killer. Feedback from Test Realm has been consistent that counterjungling is very strong, stronger than on live.

Feedback from about 2 weeks ago was that counterjungling was still much too strong in the new jungle, though it's been tuned down since and I think it's in about the right spot now.

tl;dr - the "green buff" will heal junglers once the monster holding it is taken out. This might help junglers that don't have lots of sustain in the first place get an immediate lifeline of some sorts.

Hmmm. Maybe I should get Trynd. I'm not looking forward to buying all crit runes or something though, ha ha.

I think will meant get trynd to carry hard.

By the way, if you were Janna and I were Tristana, I think we might've won. We could both ult that goddamm Ez and Tryndamere and Amumu and Sona away from our team.

inb4 "Rainbow Buff"!
Also, I just realized they didn't even talk about Fizz. Apparently they don't deem him OP or something? Usually they ALWAYS talk about champions that are getting the hammer.

Hmmm. Maybe I should get Trynd. I'm not looking forward to buying all crit runes or something though, ha ha. I think I'll just stick to buying Blitzcrank later. I'm only pretty good at one support at the moment (Sona, because she's so loleasy). I think I'm better at supports who are quite easy to zone the other team out with. Alistar could only zone them out if he has Flash up and Leona...is well, Leona. I don't like how squishy Alistar gets if he goes Heart of Gold and Philo and CD reduction boots, and...well, Aynia was right again about Leona being a lousy support bot. Of course I should take some blame (I'm talking about our game, Will) where I did one lousy initiation and I overextended at one part to place a ward, but everytime else it's hard to take control of the bush without taking a buttload of damage. Blizcrank should be quite easy to dominate the bush with.

Awww, crap.

Well, I suppose it's my fault for not taking top after Singed died like twice. I would've destroyed Tryndamere.

Volibear revealed + Lore!

I will soon have my first 6300 champion.


edit: also with trynd im pretty sure crit runes are no longer the way to go but gonna look into that.

I was just talking to z3rg3m3n in-game just now; he told me that crit runes are not the best for him after he was reworked. (I also had the same question too, and wanted clarification from a top-ELO Tryndamere player)

 My chat with him

WillDaSnail: yep I saw
WillDaSnail: hey I have a few questions for ya
WillDaSnail: regarding Trynd; mind if you answer them?
z3rg3m3n: go for it
WillDaSnail: what's the viability of using a full crit chance page on trynd?
WillDaSnail: like...in other words, how effective is it?
WillDaSnail: just wanted some input
z3rg3m3n: not very effective.
z3rg3m3n: that's wha tI used to run
z3rg3m3n: pre-rework
z3rg3m3n: and post-rework
z3rg3m3n: I tried it out
z3rg3m3n: and it's just
z3rg3m3n: terrible
z3rg3m3n: like terrible terrible
WillDaSnail: can you elaborate? lol
z3rg3m3n: well
z3rg3m3n: Tryn has a few issues post-rework
z3rg3m3n: brb
z3rg3m3n: 1sec
WillDaSnail: kk
z3rg3m3n: back
z3rg3m3n: sorry about that
z3rg3m3n: anyway
WillDaSnail: np
z3rg3m3n: here are the main issues with a crit chance page
z3rg3m3n: 1) top, you will be facing a tanky char who will most likely stack armor in runes/items/masteries
z3rg3m3n: so basically
z3rg3m3n: post-rework, the dmg steroid and crit dmg were massively reduced
z3rg3m3n: add on to that the fact that you're gonna be facing a very tanky char
z3rg3m3n: and your crits basically do 0 damage
z3rg3m3n: that was a huge thing about the rework.
WillDaSnail: ah....
z3rg3m3n: also
z3rg3m3n: Tryn has the issue of always being harassed in lane
z3rg3m3n: in fact
z3rg3m3n: many champs can zone him or make him very cautious
z3rg3m3n: which is why
z3rg3m3n: having resistances in runes
z3rg3m3n: is very beneficial
WillDaSnail: ah gotcha...
WillDaSnail: hmm
z3rg3m3n: same with movespeed
z3rg3m3n: good for positioning
z3rg3m3n: etc
z3rg3m3n: and yknow
z3rg3m3n: arpen is just for the dmg
WillDaSnail: true..
z3rg3m3n: you end up
z3rg3m3n: doing a LOT more dmg
z3rg3m3n: with arpen
z3rg3m3n: than crit chance
z3rg3m3n: furthermore
z3rg3m3n: your crit is now based on rage
z3rg3m3n: you get 35%
z3rg3m3n: so there's no real reason to stack more crit
z3rg3m3n: it's a hefty amount to be sure
z3rg3m3n: I'm personally loving the most recent changes
z3rg3m3n: I think Tryn is balanced now
WillDaSnail: ah gotcha
WillDaSnail: its just recently he has been the subject of forum QQing
WillDaSnail: people don't know how to counter him/play against him? o.o
z3rg3m3n: I'm used to it
z3rg3m3n: lol
z3rg3m3n: and yeah
z3rg3m3n: they don't
WillDaSnail: mm
WillDaSnail: even though i bought my full crit chance runes already, is it still OK to still use it on trynd
WillDaSnail: once in a while for the lulz?
WillDaSnail: (even though its not viable anymore, like you said)
z3rg3m3n: well
z3rg3m3n: you can do anything for the lulz
z3rg3m3n: I sometimies play ap tryn for lulz
z3rg3m3n: I mean
WillDaSnail: oh gawd haha
z3rg3m3n: you can do whatever as long as you have fun and don't ruin peoples' games, right?
WillDaSnail: yeah I guess xD
z3rg3m3n: That's the point of playing non-ranked
z3rg3m3n: or even ranked.
z3rg3m3n: I'm trying to be competitive in my new team LC
z3rg3m3n: so it's a bit different for me
z3rg3m3n: since we play for money
WillDaSnail: ah gotcha
WillDaSnail: hm alrighty, I think I'll give your build a shot sometime xD
WillDaSnail: also, I read about your views about the use of Yomuu's Ghostblade; is it still a great item on him?
z3rg3m3n: uhmm
z3rg3m3n: yup
z3rg3m3n: nothing has changed
z3rg3m3n: items-wise
WillDaSnail: but rushing it first not a good idea? (I sometimes do it)
z3rg3m3n: it's fine
z3rg3m3n: I think it should be rushed
WillDaSnail: oh okay
z3rg3m3n: if you're buying it at all
WillDaSnail: mm
WillDaSnail: because I find the
WillDaSnail: stats in the item
WillDaSnail: synergizes well with him
WillDaSnail: CDR, nice AD, a nice amount of crit, arpen, and of course its active
z3rg3m3n: well I'll let the guide speak for itself
z3rg3m3n: I compared the pros and cons
z3rg3m3n: I personally almost never buy it
z3rg3m3n: but it's a fine item

Still not out of my low Elo but tristana is my ticket!
