I saw you say in the patch notes that bot lane is going to see some changes with possibly items and other things. Mind give some insight?

Most likely change is a nerf to Warlord's and slight buff to Fervor. At present Warlord's often creates a situation where your choices are don't take Warlord's and lose lane, or take Warlord's but lack sufficient sustained threat in some cases to perform mid game especially. We're currently testing changes to see if addressing that arms race gives a better balance of ADC agency over time.

Is Malzahar Mid going to receive compensation at all for the Support nerfs or is Malzahar mid lane not being supported anymore?

I know its not related to marksmen or anything but is there any reason why certain "bruiser" AP items like item 3170 are available for TT but not SR?

any fear that if the 2 are perceived as even, everyone will go back to taking fervor? kinda seems like the 2 are in a situation where you'll always take the optimal one.

any possibility of giving hp sustainable back to mages. As in the form on eating mana for hp or spall vamp back?

Catalyst literally lets you spend mana to get HP.

correct but you have to have something to cast on and its really low. I was think click to eat 100 to 200 mana and return half the amount in hp.

This would have gameplay. I rather have an option than a passive thing that doesn't do much. If the ratio was high yea it would be great.

Have you thought that maybe Warlord's in most players opinions is healthier than most of the other damage masteries on the champs that abuse it. I personally would prefer to lose an extended trade to warlord's than to lose a trade within half a second to thunderlords, dft, or fervor. Fervor is actually turning into a bruiser mastery, so forcing it onto ADC's seems like it would make it broken on bruisers.

Maybe we could remove keystones and balance the champions on an individual basis rather than trying to balance all of them around just a few pre-game selections.

Thank you. Finally I can play skillshot poke mages once more in bot lane and not worry about how the ADC can regenerate all that health back by autoing minons.

Probably more Vlad buffs after they see that the current ones don't help him where he's hurting most, which is 20-35 minutes.

Should building both lethality and lord dominics be viable? i do not understand some things riot,are you planning on buffing last whisper for crit chance carries but reducing its damage so that lethality adcs dont buy it?
