The Mage Update seems to not have hit the points that were said.

For example, for Annie they said they wanted her E to be less disposable and just for building her passive up. And for Swain they wanted his spells to be less "Fire and forget" but just buffed his Q. For Ziggs they didn't like he just stalled out games by holding waves, but just gave him more seiging and pushing power. Seems like they got sidetracked kinda. I mean the Annie change too is just a small buff that gives her a better reason to use her Ult and stun together.

Annie E now has damage reduction and should be more useful.

Ok well ya see, the post didn't say anything about this. Where did you find all these changes?

And also, Tibbers sounds a lot more useful now.

I still find it ironic that they removed spell vamp, but left death's dance untouched.

So, they really only removed spell vamp for mages.

Classic Riot.

His Q isn't targeted anymore. It's now a ground-cast spell that gives him presence in two places at once. That's pretty much the exact opposite of fire and forget; you need to choose between using it for harass or using it for its waveclear. Pretty smart change.

Can't say anything about Annie, haven't looked at her changes yet.

Ahhh ok. The post didn't really clarify as it didn't have a video.

Is it still single target?

Big Lincoln1 votes

Yes, it's single target, but if you break the tether by leaving Beatrice's range or dying, she locks onto someone else, priority on champions. Huge buff there. It also does bonus damage to minions; his waveclear is godly now.

Thats cool, atm on live his cs'ing and waveclear sucks. Where did you find this out? videos or PBE update or what?

If these Swain nerfs go through, Swain's gameplay will have changed so much I will not play him much
