* Removed "Recommended" tag

[Thrawn]

Wow lots of changes, almost too many in one patch.  Lots of Ryze changes, lots of Teemo changes, and is it possible...that Eve will no longer be the universal worst champion in the game?  She seems...like she good maybe even be GOOD with the remake.

[Krushchev]

Hopefully the game won't break is all I'm worried about.

[Kail]

Liking the changes to Rod of Ages and Atmas.

Am I reading the change to Malady right?  It now also gives +30 damage per attack?  That's pretty vicious, BFF Sword only gives +50 and costs more.

What the hell are they thinking with Jax?  The change to Empower is baffling to me, now it's not AoE?  What the hell are you supposed to use it for?  Well, THANK GOD they're doing something about all those OP Jaxes running roughshod over entire teams by themselves, it was really getting to be an epidemic!

A lot of fairly pointless tweaking this patch, feels like.  Minor tweaks to mana cost (honestly, I don't think that tacking ten mana onto a level 5 skill is going to change anything for Galio, for example) cooldown, range, etc.  Feels a bit unnecesary to me.

Also, can someone explain to me what the deal is with all these "on next hit" (Empower, Siphoning Strike, Devastating Blow, etc.) attacks resetting the autoattack timer?  I kind of assumed they already did that, since they rode on the regular autoattack already, how are they currently impacting the timer?

[Chimpy]

The nerf to Taric's heal makes me a little sad.

[Krushchev]

[...]Am I reading the change to Malady right?  It now also gives +30 damage per attack?  That's pretty vicious, BFF Sword only gives +50 and costs more.[...]

New Malady is +50% Attack Speed, 25 Ability Power and a new passive. I don't see 30 damage anywhere. Looks like a new main item for TF's around the world.

[Typhon]

Agree, good for TF.  Think I might give it a whirl with Kasadin as well.

[Chimpy]

Hmm....new malady might be pretty nice for an AP Teemo.

[Der Helm]

When will this patch go live ? I might give Eve another try 

[Kail]

[...]Am I reading the change to Malady right?  It now also gives +30 damage per attack?[...]

New Malady is +50% Attack Speed, 25 Ability Power and a new passive. I don't see 30 damage anywhere.

The new passive is basically a free +20 damage, is what I was talking about (20 is basically the same as 30,  right?  ).

Looking at the new item (Hexdrinker) can anyone think of a champ or circumstance in which they'd buy it?  It seems like an item designed to help you push offensively when you wouldn't want to push offensively.  Just about the only champ I can really see it working on is Tryndamere with his ult, and even there I'd guess there are better items for him.  Unless it works on Shaco clones or something?

[Slayerik]

When I read it I was thinking Tryndamere, cause he does a lot of low health work. But 4 sec wouldn't be long enough to be worth it on a 60 sec cooldown.

Actually, it just sounds pretty bad.

[Typhon]

Seems to be intended to be a cost-effective AD/MR item for the early game (actually, after looking it is the only AD/MR item).  Great way for a AD champ who is looking to boost AD and MR defense in the early game due to being faced off against an AP-heavy team.

Based upon the circumstance it could be more effective than Banshees (which only blocks on hit every 30 seconds) - especially if being attacked/counter-attacked by a bursty caster (Ryze).

Allows you to do something other than just be defensive, and buy a Negatron cloak.

Against a caster that spreads out their attacks, agree it's not so effective.

[Krushchev]

When I read it I was thinking Tryndamere, cause he does a lot of low health work. But 4 sec wouldn't be long enough to be worth it on a 60 sec cooldown.

Actually, it just sounds pretty bad.

These were the original concepts:
Hexdrinker - http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll276/SparkyX22/hexdrinker.jpg
Runegorger - http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll276/SparkyX22/runegorger.jpg

And like you said, the one in the patchnotes seems fairly useless.

[MrHat]

Has anyone tried the new Teemo? He's still one of my favorite all time champs.

[Astorax]

What the hell are they thinking with Jax?  The change to Empower is baffling to me, now it's not AoE?  What the hell are you supposed to use it for?  Well, THANK GOD they're doing something about all those OP Jaxes running roughshod over entire teams by themselves, it was really getting to be an epidemic!

They buffed Empower a LOT...so to balance it, they removed the AoE lest it become TOO powerful.  Jax is as of now, pretty good at single-target destruction...they made him better at that, without making him godlike at running in and doing huge AoE dmg with it.  Sounds to me like they want him a bit more in the assassin role, without turning him into an AoE monster...

A lot of fairly pointless tweaking this patch, feels like.  Minor tweaks to mana cost (honestly, I don't think that tacking ten mana onto a level 5 skill is going to change anything for Galio, for example) cooldown, range, etc.  Feels a bit unnecesary to me.

Over the course of a harass phase, and/or prolonged use of abilities without really good regen or mana, it actually affects quite a bit.  Galio, who often goes MR instead of straight AP often does end up a bit mana starved.  By increasing his mana costs, that gets a bit worse, making you think a bit more about itemization.

Also, can someone explain to me what the deal is with all these "on next hit" (Empower, Siphoning Strike, Devastating Blow, etc.) attacks resetting the autoattack timer?  I kind of assumed they already did that, since they rode on the regular autoattack already, how are they currently impacting the timer?

What happens now with those abilities, is you activate it, and then whenever your next swing happens according to the swing timer, it goes off...sometimes there can be quite a delay if you swing and activate the ability RIGHT after it, there's a long delay before your ability happens.  After the patch, when you activate the ability, it will reset that swing timer so your autoattack happens on pressing the button for the ability.  When timed right, it means you can swing an autoattack, then right after, hit the ability, getting another autoattack instantly.  It's a buff to those abilities.

[Kail]

The limited time Halloween runes look nice, for anyone who hasn't filled out their book yet.

Quintessence of Bountiful Treats (Halloween rune) = +30 HP (Tier 2, 995 IP)
Greater Quintessence of Vitality (Normal rune) = +32.4 HP (Tier 3 2050 IP)

Quintessence of the Speedy Specter = +1.39% Move Speed (Tier 2, 995 IP)
Greater Quintessence of Swiftness = +1.5% Move Speed (Tier 3, 2050 IP)

etc...

Thanks for the heads up on those on hit attacks, that sounds like a pretty vicious change.

EDIT: Just found a kind of neat little easter egg: on the ledge overlooking the river opposite Baron (on the blue side) there's a tomb-gravestone-thing just north of the ramp.  If you stand in front of it, the ghost of Urf comes out of the ground for a second.

[Chimpy]

The nerf to Imbue was bigger than I thought it would be. Makes me sad because it didn't really heal for that much in the grand sceme of things since it has a pretty long CD. Oh well.

In the grand scheme I like the changed soul shroud mats, getting some CD reduction before final combine is very nice.

Also, changing the item name along with the icon on stuff like frozen heart is mildly annoying. Now not only do I have to find a different icon, I have to find a different name too.

[Thrawn]

Screw the meta, I'm playing Pumpkinhead Fiddlesticks.
