Dat recall animation...

Seems well made, but god damn, enough Annie skins already. At least it's not a Teemo skin.

Anyway, I've been away from LoL since the release of Vi, and am likely to be for about a month more or so, unless my provider can work some magic and deliver what I pay for. Are there any major changes that have happened/are about to happen?

Annie hasn't gotten a skin in a long time, and she.and teemo don't have the most anymore. Plus It's only logical she'd get a skin with her visual rework

So Azubu surrendered their first game at some 20 minutes against rather big nobodies Gambit. Eve was proven OP, Rene seems really powerful and Kog got raped by Ez among other things.

Also Mundo jungling, that's still slightly confusing.

Gambit Gaming is M5, so they're not rather big nobodies, really. Eve wasn't really proven too OP, especially since she was only winning against Ryze after the first two kills. If you had seen the Azubu Frost games, GG is really really utilizing that Renekton to his maximum due to his 35% armor shred on his E and Ezreal (who doesn't need attack speed) to really drive home the changes with S3. There were some calculations on Reddit on the Renekton top/Xin Zhao jungle, which shred 35%/15% armor, respectively, which, combined with Last Whisper (and masteries), which GG was rushing as a second or third item on Ez, means basically no armor for anybody. Not even to mention the Renekton grabbing Black Cleaver as one of his first items. Thanks to W, Renekton instantly shreds the target for all BC stacks.

I'm mostly just copypasting what I learned from Snoopeh commentary and Reddit stuff, but that's basically it. For the 2-0 win against Azubu Frost, anyway, but they seem to really like that Renekton pick so far, so I wonder if he won't be banned for the second game against Blaze.

Mundo jungling is pretty standard now. He works similarly to Shyvana in the jungle with better ganks (although I still like Shyvana better for DRAGONS).

EDIT: ACTUALLY, now that I think about it, wouldn't Shyvana work well as a top for this sort of thing as well? When in Dragon form, her E AoE-shreds 15% armor on multiple targets in a wave. That is very interesting to think about.

Yeah I don't really follow the professional scene aside from sporadic livestreams so I've never heard of GG before this :S

Anyways, Ryze is kind of a counterpick to Eve right? What with his fuck off W that makes harass somewhat hard, unless there's something I've missed :S

As far as Mundo goes I've also never regarded him as that useful or good for anything but trolling. Not sure how that changed with S3 :S

E: Ninjas, yeah, never heard of that stuff happening :S

I watched a bunch of season 2 tournaments, and Mundo was a fairly popular jungle pick. Just "ok" for ganking, but an excellent counter jungler due to having the fastest clear speed and in-built sustain.

Mundo was popular for a while like half a year ago or so in the jungle.

Right now, I'm watching the picks/bans right now and just from listening to the commentators, I'm thinking that Azubu Blaze figured out the armor shred idea of GG, since they've gone other methods of protection (Kayle ultimate, Mundo/Shen health stacking), rather than stacking armor. GG probably knows this, since they went for Jax, but I'm unnerved because if the lane swaps go through, Jax will have a hard time dealing with Vayne/Sona ranged harass. Kayle will have a much less difficult time, I think. Just looking at it, it looks like no lane swaps, though.

The biggest problem these two teams were having was trying to stop the 4-man ganks. Each and every game they played against either Azubu had an early 4-man gank, and it just ruined them (except the very first Frost game, I believe).

But yeah, it took them a while to figure out Renekton.

Mundo jungle is probably where he's strongest. He was iffy in S1, he could work, it was more suicidal than Karthus was, but it could work. And then S2 happened. His clear speed is probably the most consistently fast, even if other junglers can peak faster, they have caveats.

There was a SCIENCE post that showed that Mundo did indeed have fast clear times, but one of the fastest and ends with 100% hp (easy) to gank with right away is Elise.

I'm honestly surprised I don't see her in the jungle more often.

Elise is kinda in a weird place right now. She's hard to play right, and she doesn't bring a whole lot to the team. Not a ton of damage, not a ton of utility. She just kinda is.
If I remember correctly, the fastest clear award goes to a lucky Master Yi, his problem being that he slows down a ton if he doesn't get lucky with his Q. The runner up is either Olaf or Zed, I'm not sure. But if Olaf wants to clear fast, he basically has to empty his mana bar and keep blue instead of donating it, and Zed has to build pure damage if he wants to keep his clear times up.
