Patch 5.5! Finally a good one!

FINALLY. Pretty big Jungle buffs incoming. Jungle camps damage going down along with a ton of direct buffs for some off-meta junglers. New jungle item to help tanks clear the Jungle. Late game Kassadin is going to be insanely mobile again. Veigar is getting quite a buff as well. Minor nerf to Lissandra's somewhat oppressive top lane harass. Vi's damage is taking a hit. A slight buff for Sion. Even a slight buff for Trist :D

They're even stepping up and buffing some not-so-popular items like Ohmwrecker, ZZ'Rot, and Righteous Glory

Finally a patch I can agree with. Was getting worried there for awhile.

This is what happens when a patch is nearly entirely about buffing up to level instead of nerfing down to size.

Considering the Seaon 5 jungle is overall much weaker than the Season 4 jungle, I would disagree. Junglers are much weaker across the board with the exception of a few. Even the popular ones are weaker than last season. The champion pool for jungle now is literally who can actually survive the jungle more efficiently than others.

I just read this guide for Tank Karthus where you run people down with Defile and item 3800 , and then they BUFF Glory.

I might actually have to try it out.

They buffed tristana and failed to nerf nidalee, katerana, and balance fiora. Oh and they nerfed lissandra ffs, not bc she is crazy good, just cause she doesnt ever crash and burn.
