Yeah, I don't really see anything particularly game changing other than them making Morde shit (again, for like the third time) and Shaco usable.

Edit after some forum scouring:

Guinsoo asks:

What would Vlad players be willing to trade for say, some more damage on Q or some more range on E?

smaller % damage on ultimate?
reduced AP -> health ratio on passive?

This is just for my personal curiosity... let's say we could bump Q damage by 0/5/10/15/20 and AP ratio by .1. What would you 'pay' so to speak? 2% less damage amp on the ultimate?

Fuck Vlad. I really don't want to see him again. Back when he was popular, I could always rely on my Lanewick to hardcounter him completely. Now that Lanewick got nerfed, and Jax got nerfed, and all my other Vlad counters got nerfed one by one, I have no clue how to fight him again. I'd be forced to break out Irelia or X^Z.

I also found this funny:

"Removed the word 'sleeps' from Cleanse’s tooltip"

Apparently, they intended to have the couch champion at one time or another.

Hahaha, if I were to chart my LoL jungle theory from when I first started jungling to now, it'd be something like this:

November 2010: Hurr durr idiot mode jungle.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

- No runes, no masteries, Warwick only. Final destination. Lol, why do I need smite?
- Win rate: Fucking horrible.
- Rate of getting screamed at: Constant.
- Frequency of dying to creeps in jungle: Looming threat.
- Jungle clear times: Lol? I'm level 4 and they're level 8 har har harrrr I'm going to die.

January 2011: Stonewall school of thought.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

- It doesn't matter if you don't gank or even simply fail completely. The very fact that you have a jungler and the enemy doesn't gives your team an advantage.
- Therefore, the best thing you can do is follow an optimized jungle route and clear it as quick as possible. Gank once your jungle route is done.
- Smite is mandatory for ensuring your own buffs.
- Strongest junglers are those who can do their route fast and have great ganking potential. This means Warwick, Olaf, Nunu, etc.

June 2011: TheOddOne school of thought.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

- The most important part about being a jungler is to completely shut down an enemy. If at all possible, this means the enemy jungler. If you can completely ruin the enemy jungler, your team will have an amazing advantage.
- This means having wards constantly in the enemy jungle and counterjungling nonstop. Steal enemy buffs, steal enemy minions, steal everything and make sure the enemy jungler is completely shut down.
- Smite is mandatory for stealing enemy jungle.
- Jungling is a precise science and your route should be optimized according to respawn timers of both your minions and the enemies.
- The strongest junglers are junglers who excel at protecting their own jungle and / or counterjungling. This means Nunu, Trundle, etc.

August 2011: Saintvicious school of thought.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

- Be flexible with your jungling. Make sure the enemy can't understand what the hell you're going to do so they can't plan to stop you. Gank at strange times. Clear minion camps whenever and wherever. Do whatever is best to fit the current situation.
- This means you have a start point, and then you change immediately to suit what is needed.
- Don't bother counterjungling unless it's really easy as the gains are so pathetic compared to the benefits. For example, the amount of time spent counterjungling the wraith camp could have been better used actually doing your own wraith camp and your wolf camp.
- Smite is mandatory for ensuring your own buffs.
- The strongest junglers are junglers who are flexible or unpredictable. This means Lee Sin, Gangplank, Nocturne, etc.

I think nowadays I really enjoy the Saintvicious style. Anyone who's played with me knows how this jungle method works. It's unpredictable, crazy, and fun as hell. Jungle with anyone. Don't be afraid of anything and just enjoy yourself doing all the ridiculous shit. I never liked counterjungling as it felt dickish and too boring. Nor did I ever like Stonewall's idea of everything set in stone (though such a playstyle really helps you learn how to jungle).

I recommend anyone who wants to jungle to play like Saintvicious. It's the most fun way.

[Ahra]

R.I.P morde. you were one win away from giving me malzahar.

edit: rare bug? teleport fucked up tons of times...

[umiman]

New skins!





Yes, that's an awesome Morde skin.

[Journier]

Shield regeneration is now half effective versus minions

Hoooly shit, they really fucked him there.

solo laning is gonna be fucked till hes lvl 6 or more...

[Cthulhu]

dat fukken malz skin

Also, I always used the Saintvicious style.  Rarely (Read, almost never, until later in the game) counterjungle, gank whenever I feel like it, fuck the haters

[Yodamaster]

First game of Season 2? HEIMERDINGER DUO LANE MID VICTORY.

[Jopax]

I think the nerf is justified if gets a skin like that, holy hell that looks awesome, makes me want to get morde again ^^

[Akigagak]

Well, Riven looks as fun as hell, and she's available to buy.

I just did so. But she isn't enabled for games yet.

[Jopax]

God i love Skarner, he's just dreamy, get chased by Garen over half the lane while at 100 hp only to have a teammate show up and murder him cleanly is priceless, as is pushing two towers while the rest of the folks are having a teamfight, and with the upcoming buff his early game will become a bit easier making him even more awesome

[Mindmaker]

*sigh*
That will earn me a temporary ban probably.
Wish it was permanent.

[Cthulhu]

I love turning chases around.  It's easy with Malz, but it's the most fun with Brand.  Real white-knuckle.  Everyone but you and Jax are dead, you've got 5 HP he's got 500, you run, he chases, EQW, suddenly your team is congratulating you.

Faux-edit:  What did you do?

[Dakk]

I wanna try skarner after the changes, but I have no idea how to build him since he scales with 3 different things while needing tankyness at the same time.

I wanna try skarner after the changes, but I have no idea how to build him since he scales with 3 different things while needing tankyness at the same time.

Two main ways i build him, AP or AD, but both do pretty nice damage in both areas.Start with blue crystal or meki pendant and some pots and take E first for some nice sustain (and hope to god you don't lane against cait/brand/the like).Turn that into Tear on your first trip back and get boots if you can.Prioritize your W leveling since it gets you early game mobility and beffiness that Skarner otherwise lacks.Next you get Sheen and Mercs and after that the builds go their separate ways.If you are going AP rush Nashor and Lichbane and after that AAS and straight tank afterwards.If you are going AD take Manamune and rush Triforce and if you are doing well grab gunblade and straight tank afterwards.Of tank items don't overlook FoN since extra movespeed is always great on Skarner and Sunfire is pretty nice too if you plan to stick around in teamfights for some time, if you like to chase more like i do then take Randouin for infinite slows
