Stupid item changes...
I hate the Chalice nerf. It was a must-build on Viktor and Alistar, for me, but now it doesn't do anything. It further cements me wanting to play nothing but Karthus/Annie/Gangplank mid since everyone else has mana issues.
As far as Alistar goes, I tried to build that new initiating item, but went for Catalyst first and got ******* at by Warwick for not building Sightstone. But he's right -- supports need Sightstone. But anything building from Catalyst, you want Catalyst early. It's a huge deign flaw. I was going to replace Chalice with Catalyst but that apparently is a non-option.
So this new item is apparently only good for champions that are tanky and would build Catalyst anyway (Ryze, Vladimir, and Cho'gath), but why would anyone get it over RoA? Such a useless design.
Not to mention all the lag caused by the new map, and now Champion select is broken and Rito won't even address the issue. gg rito
