Volibear seems kinda cool. I bet loads of people do the quite standard Atmogs + Trinity on him, though. I probably will.

[ThtblovesDF]

Meh at the bear... riot is just about 11 years behind on the armored bear joke, too.

Tanky dps champ? Nevar saw that before! (Passive seems ... rather strong, in the video he basically tanks 5 champs with it, hope the cooldown is like 3-4 mins)

HOWEVER; How do they dare nerf my karthus wall D: !

I don't understand North American peoples' fascination with bears, so similarly, I don't really care much about Volibear either. Looks really standard to me, nothing special. Maybe he's overpowered who knows (the preview certainly makes it seem that way, but Phreak's videos are always biased), but it probably won't change my opinion.

Besides, I'm going to have to learn new jungle patterns, so it's not like there's any incentive to get Volibear out of boredom.

Edit: I just tried out attack speed MF since I have full AS page. Hehehe fun stuff.

[Pandarsenic]

Gonna have to work out much new junglin's now.

And try jungle Fizz.

Also, I like how Fizz got Q fixes and no nerfs. This pleases me. <_<

New skins here: http://imgur.com/a/C2BI6

They all look really goofy. And they emasculated GP!!! Shorter beard and no more pubic hair whaaaat?!

That Lux skin.. don't know if want.

I don't understand North American peoples' fascination with bears

I think that North Americans like bears because they're so big and strong animals. What I've heard though, is that bears are actually pretty cautious and almost always flee when they smell a human (unless hurt, hates people [or loves how they taste, mmm] or they protect their cubs.) And here in Finland we do have bears. Not polar bears, though.

Also that last skin.. Is it for WW? Looks a bit like him. But I don't think he needs a new skin. He has 7 if that is for him. Annie has most at the moment, having 7 skins.

[Pandarsenic]

Those skins look silly, but GP's pubic hair was OP as fuck.

[umiman]

They felt that Lux's breasts weren't big enough, so they increased them to size DD for this skin.

[debvon]

Riot has to give the majority of their female champions huge breasts. Obviously the original Lux artwork and model were mistakes, the breasts weren't nearly big enough.

You know, looking at the Sivir notes more.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The only nerf I can see other than the minor base stats nerfs is the one to W. But looking at that new Q, that new Q is going to RAPE everything. This is because the old Q scaled so crappily and didn't benefit at all from arpen. This one does and scales 1:1 to all the inevitable Bloodthirsters that Sivir likes to buy. If you think about this for a second, this means if you teamfight against Sivir that has two BTs. Every time she throws her Q, she'll do like 600 damage burst to everyone.

I think I'm pretty willing to trade her old W for that.

That new passive is also pretty incredible too, as 50 movespeed is nothing to laugh at, especially in the late game as a skill that gives you a flat movespeed boost is really rare (the only one I can think of is Singed and he gets 65 I think). This is significant as movespeed normally scales quite poorly, so when everyone else has around 470 movespeed, Sivir is going to have 520 or so and be uncatchable. Especially considering the range boost.

Third, let's think about that new W. I think this is quite a good skill. But not because of the bouncing (that's fun), but because it resets her autoattack. It makes her one hell of a kiting champion as she can Q, autoattack, W, autoattack in one second. That's some pretty massive burst. Considering her very low cooldowns and combined with that new passive, I really don't want to be forced to duel that.

Lastly, her new ultimate. It's a straight up nerf, quite a big one too... 30% attack speed loss. The aura to allies is still the same. I think this is justified considering how the other buffs are really, really strong.

TL;DR: So, based on theorycraft, this is probably one massive buff. Considering the only real nerf was to her ultimate, it's a fair trade for having 3.000 attack speed every 3 seconds.

That Lux skin is slightly...
I don't know what to think of it.

[webadict]

They felt that Lux's breasts weren't big enough, so they increased them to size DD for this skin.

Next up is Tristana.

[Errol]

Should've gone AP Tristana.

/e: That's so non-sequitur and yet weirdly fitting a fail-response that I'll keep it for a bit.

Lux skin... I already have Commando Lux. Even though C-Lux is a wad of meh I'll wait for a sale. The Tris skin looks nice.
When I first saw the skin name I thought you'd get something ala Battle Regalia Poppy just on Lux. Well guess again.

...free Leona week? Damn, now everyone's going to pick my Leona.

[umiman]

Holy shit GP walking animation so manly!!!!

Edit: Yeah, jungle creeps nerfed to hell and back. You can do it really easy with cloth armour 5 pots as usual. If you have full runes and masteries you could probably do the whole thing with boots or a Doran's item. You get about 500 gold for a full clear (depending on what time it is).

The respawn times... are weird. It's honestly not that big of a difference compared to what it normally was. Sure, it'll mean if bot lane wants to take small golems, it'll respawn before you get there, but I think it was the same even before this.
