Drag 1 is really good. I kinda feel that they should swap 1 and the movement speed one, because that 8% AP/AD boost is not very subtle at all...

[Arcvasti]

Dragon has become both more valuable and less valuable. Its buff is better, but its much less difficult to fight, making it trivial to collect when uncontested. You can 1v1 it fairly early with the right build/champion[Someone mentioned killing it with Nid at level 1?].

Holyshitholyshit. That new trailer. Could it be that we're finally going to see a zerg burrowing champion?

The new champions[Sans possibly Vel'Koz, who isn't AS unique] have actually been pretty creative, so I have decent expectations for the new guy for once.

The 8% boost is actually the best to have first. The movementspeed one would break the game in half if it were first. 8% is a multiplicative thing, which means if you get it early you aren't utterly domineering over the enemy team without it. Later game it definitely matters, but early on it's 8 ad or ap max which isn't that much. On the flip side, 5% movespeed is insane. Janna used to be able to decide lanes when it was global and only 3%. 5% is a massive advantage.

New champ teaser! Definitely looks like a new void champ to me. It seems she can dig and stuff.

[Skyrunner]

Baneling!

[Flying Dice]

That's mostly a matter of opinion, though. I notice them more because they're not just stat boosts (though part of that is because I tend to play champions who, at that point in the game, are spending a lot of time pushing down objectives rather than frag-hunting).

Hell, just thinking about them makes it clear why the buffs are in the order they are. The AD/AP buff is only really important for getting kills/poking, while the others are all oriented towards shifting the field of the game in your favor by way of easier objective control, not to mention the incidental benefits of a global movespeed buff.

I very much enjoy the new dragon. Diversifies objective rewards and gives dragon a stronger end-game component. Sometimes, Dragon was ignorable late game in the previous patch. Now it's not ignorable even at 6 items.

[Baneling]

Holy dear sweet mother of fuck I forgot how shit the game was in low levels.

Nobody wants to engage except for smurfs pre-ten. I kept going in on what looks like a teamfight only to have my entire team suddenly disappear without warning and then I die.

And then Tryndamere somehow knows I'm going to dragon and then twoshots me, then takes the damn thing himself.

That game made me SO INCREDIBLY MAD.

You can't -not- benefit from having gold, y'know?

Challenge accepted.

There. Can too.

Well, the new champ looks pretty cool. What's everyone's thoughts on Rek'Sai? I'm probably just going to get her because being a land shark is just too cool to say no to.

[frostshotgg]

Details of RekSai are published. Interesting mechanic, her ganks after level 6 will be retarded if the tunnels can't be destroyed. Fuck manaless champions who have infinite free sustain though and are encouraged to spam their abilities.

[Arcvasti]

God Rek'Sai looks cool. Apostrophe's for the apostrophe god! And the tunnels... They are so cool.

At least she isn't Akali.

[frostshotgg]

Akali is punished for spamming. Energy. RekSai is rewarded for spamming. Free knockups, free infinite dash points, free fury heals.

... I'unno, the thing that interests me is that tremorsense thing, I think. It says wide range movement detection (presumably outside of normal vision range?) but just how wide is wide? And does movement mean movement or...? Because on-call semi-long range champion detection (that also chains into other abilities, yeesh) sounds kinda' incredibly sexy to me. Screw bushes get rek'd. Ain't no hiding no more~

that's actually because you, too, are a smurf. It's better when you're actually also a beginner, then you get matched with all the kther beginners and less toxic.
