Have you noticed that Riot has buffed the more expensive champions, while nerfing the cheaper?

Expensive Draven (6300 IP) - less of a delay on Auto Attacks, easier to catch axes with slower missile speed. Jinx (6300 IP)- Passive gives Attack Speed Quinn (6300 IP) - AD ratios were buffed Yasuo (6300 IP)- Itemization Changes Lucian (6300 IP) - Culling no longer scales off of Attack Speed, but fires a ton of bullets no matter what Vayne (4800 IP)- W buffed to me Kalista (6300 IP)- Movement Scaling tweaked Graves (4800 IP) - So much burst Cheap Sivir (450 IP)- Base AS reduced, Ricochet nerfed Garen (450 IP)- New items plz Annie (450 IP)- most items except ROA Any thoughts?

Ashe still does her bonus damage for building crit and attacking slowed units, it just doesn't count as a crit anymore like it did previously. This is actually a huge buff as her auto attacks no longer get reduced by Randuin's Omen unless she crits for the empowered frost shot.

was just about to say that, Ashe's damage didn't change, just her definition of a crit strike

Oh, I see. Honestly the patch notes for Ashe have been really confusing, will edit

True, but I'm rather concerned about the new items that apply Grievous Wounds.

Grievous Wounds only applies to SELF heals now... another buff to Soraka ^^

Aside from you being wrong about Ashe, Sivir's W is also not a nerf. You must have missed how its cooldown begins at cast now, rather than when it expires (or is used up).

The buff duration has been decreased.

Yes, but it doesn't really matter. Fully ranked with no CDR, if you don't get 3 AA's off in 4 seconds you only have to wait 2 seconds to use it again. Before if you couldn't get 3 AA's off in 6 seconds you had to wait 5 more seconds to be able to use it.

With full CDR (not that hard to get now with the new ER) you can use it immediately if you can't get 3 AA's off in 4 seconds.

Remember, the buff lasts only 3 AA's or until the duration is up. It is not all your AA's ricochet across the total duration.

YOU FUCKING IDIOT JINX GOT REDUCE ATK SP. in both her fishbon and minigun her ult also use to deal more damage.

Doublelift considers Jinx's changes to be a buff, because her passive now stacks. Don't see any changes in Pow-Pow's Attack Speed, and the last change to her ult was more than a couple patches ago.
