First impression plants.
So, just played a game and I gotta say, not REALLLY a fan of the new plants. Watched my Shyvana chasing down a long range target only for them to sustain heavily in the river. Saw some people effortlessly escape with blasting cone. And the reveal thing is... erm.... IDK kinda weird.
HONESTLY, I just see plants as a reason NOT to chase, therefore reducing interactions. I feel like the blasting plants in particular could be used in way more negative ways than positive ones. Trolling, giving dashes to people who shouldnt have them, and harming the chase potential of a LOT of champions seem to outweigh the benefits of always escaping because of random plants... which uh... is kind of lame. It makes playing around champions' particular skill sets kind of useless. If I am playing Udyr or Shyvana, I should be able to chase down people at long range and I should be able to gauge my ability to catch them based on who I am chasing. Plants seem to kind of undermine hard earned understanding of the game.
Just my impression. One game with plants. Will play with them more I guess....
