Ahri revealed: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/news/ahri-nine-tailed-fox-revealed
http://na.leagueoflegends.com/champions/103/ahri_the_9_tails_fox

Looks actually pretty fun. Interesting to see where she'll end up lane wise.

Patch preview (vid only): http://na.leagueoflegends.com/news/ahri-patch-preview-gameplay-changes

New runes (gp/5, % health, hybrid pen, vamp/steal), trynd heal nerf, TF buffs, util tree buff.

Patch notes: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/news/ahri-patch-notes

Lots of changes. But Warmog takes a pretty reasonable hit: -100 health, -10 hp/5 when fully stacked.

Very glad the the "convert some mana into health regen" thing is back, that mastery going away is the main reason I stopped playing Singed. Overall sounds like good changes.

Welp, this is way up the Util tree, so it's useless on most champs that benefit from it.

The hybrid pen runes sound very interesting for characters like Katarina.

Siivir/Fizz/Volibear nerfs WTF?

Sivir finally felt like a champion worth playing. Early game I felt she was balanced as Boomerang eats mana like it's going out of fashion.
Fizz - ok, needed to be toned down.
Volibear frenzy nerf?? I havent seen Volibear that often - even when I did I never felt threatened by it.

I haven't seen a lot of Bear but it did seem a little silly how much damage he could to building straight tank.

Whoa, giant nerf on Sivir. The Boomerang basically no longer scales, and it was a big part of her damage. I guess they wanted her to be an autoattack champ after all.

edit: ohh I think they just add the AP scaling. There's no mention of AD being removed.

Volibear nerfs WTF?

With a Warmogs, a moderately charged Leviathan and any other misc hp gear, pre-nerf Frenzy can hit for ~1000 not counting percentage lost. It is just a little silly.

I played Volibear for the first time today, post-nerf so I can't really say if he's worse or better. It took a little time to figure him out, but once I did, he could do some serious burst damage then be left without anything but wimpy auto attacks until I got the attack speed items going.

I think Armor Marks/Avarice Seals is going to be the new support standard.

APen/MPen is going to be nice on some champs. Anyone hybrid and some less obvious guys like Corki. (In my Corki games typically 1/3 of my damage is magic)

Lifesteal is interesting. I can see it working in lanes where you expect to be harassed (for example Vayne v Cait) or lanes where you have a non-healing support like Blitz or Leona. With masteries and a Doran's you can start with what, 14% lifesteal? But if you are putting out 60 damage a hit that's still not all that much lifesteal, and you a sacrificing damage or APen or something. Same with spell vamp, it really only does something later in the game, at the point where you could just buy a vamp item.

I could see getting a rune page just for Katarina with those armor pen/magic pen hybrid runes.

Well, so arpen is better per/g. But Even 14% lifesteal of 60-80 dmg (your dmg 1-5) is not bad: assuming you're taking about 15-20 shots a second, that's about 100 hp/min. I feel like for champs who normally buy a bloodthirster first (or second), it's maybe not the best thing. But if your first life steal doesn't come till late (Trist), that extra life steal could help a lot, especially with the non-heal support

I was hoping the hybrid pen marks would be a buff for my Kayle, but after running the numbers it looks like AS is still better for my build. Oh well.

Health % runes are better than HP/level ones at 3240 and 3888 HP, for quints and seals respectively.

Life steal and spell vamp quints are better than HP5 as long as you're dealing 27 sustained DPS of the appropriate type. Life steal quints introduce the possibility of starting the game with 9% LS (with Vampirism mastery) and eschewing a vamp scepter item altogether, which is interesting! Though I'm guessing AD/AP quints will still be standard for carries.

Low base damage all around. Decent AP ratio if you get all her stuff to hit. So, LeBlanc as a similar champ?

I remember a time when AP mids got bullied by ad range into their towers. Now your lucky not to feed half of the new ap champs in the game going mid as ashe.

Yeah, but back then you would see people playing Veigar mid... They have introduced a lot of good AP champs since.

Champs like veiger, ryze, and kass were all balanced around hitting 6 and having an early level advantage. The new casters are balanced around hitting level 3 and doing their health in damage. Point being the old ap carries were evenly balances against the most AD carries, but the new AP carries utterly dominate mid to the point that only other AP carries or Kogmaw can safely lane against them.

Yes. Pretty much what I was saying.

On a side note, it is fucking laughable the difference in play between Normal Blind pick and 1500ish ELO Ranked. Holy fuck, my brain hurts.

Yeah, it's like two different games. In normal blind pick I basically just fuck around with champs I don't know how to play because nobody has any clue what they are doing. Basic stuff like trying to get dragon just doesn't occur to people at all.

That said, I've been on run where my ranked games are like that as well, getting paired with people with 2 ranked wins who have no idea wtf they are doing.

Last night I was playing with a Maokai on my team, I get Gragas in mid down to about 10% health and call him over for a gank. What does he do? He walks straight down from my tower towards Gragas, in completely plain view. That was his "gank" attempt. Just walk towards the enemy when they can clearly see you.

I feel like for the last week or so to win ranked games I have to carry, if I play even an average game my team loses. Just one of those runs.

The funny thing is, I'm actually starting to enjoy those normals more. I'm getting a bit sick of this current meta and it's ironclad lanes. I like seeing thing slike Garen mid, Shaco and Udyr top while a Janna solos bot, and whatnot.

Methinks I espy some selective perception, here. I am not even level 25 and my Normal games already look 75% like the high-ELO meta I encounter on various streams. Just with way less execution, and significantly fewer junglers/supports (which is where much of that 25% gap comes from.) I wish unusual comps were more common, but it's just not so.

When I play normal games I get some crazy comps, but you also get stuff like a complete lack of any basic strategy. Placing wards, trying to get dragon and baron, keeping track of dragon and baron timers, knowing what type of team you have and using that as a strength, using CC intelligently - for the most part these things don't happen in normal. In normal you have a Malz who always ults GP.

New champ is super annoying to lane against, but doable with Ryze.  You're dodging skillshots the entire time, then having to play like a weenie if her ult is up.  So much goddamn harass.  Still, beat her pretty soundly (6/1 to 5/5).
