I know.. I would have liked to get Gold before it hits and dramatically changes everything, but unfortunately I have my last exam for graduate school tomorrow, and I've had to study all week...

Simple MoonMay 3, 20161 votes

Yep, gonna shake everything up. But hey good luck on your test!!

My biggest concern is the Protobelt really. Giving everyone mobility is probably the worst idea I've ever heard of and it will only force every mage to get it in order to be able to rivalise with the other mages who get it. And Riot says assassins won't get it but oh trust me they will. This will be Ezreal level of item abusement.

Still kind of sad about the fact that mages are getting nerfed overall... AGAIN... Since they are removing mana regen completely and reducind the total AP available for the second time, I just really hope that mages won't fall even further under ADs... Now the only way to have some kind of mana efficiency is to get like 3 items that give mana or to just get item 3003 wich will be a new must have on any mage that want to deal damage. Thanks life! We now have item 3135 item 3089 AND item 3040 to build if we want to be usefull!

Personaly I think I'll go for item 3040 item 3165 item 3157 item 3020 item 3089 item 3135 , giving up my early item 3285 . Just hope the 400 mana from Morello and the 25% mana cost redution from seraph will be enough to not have to back before a loooooong time (because without regen it's just impossible that you don't go OOM)...

If regular mages are too shitty I'll just go Lissandra because tanky mana efficient mages will be straight out OP in this meta where mana regen is non-existant and where the only way to regen mana is with the new item 3010 that requires you to get hit to get your mana back. So much fun!

I agree with everything you said, some champions are suppose to be mobile, that's what keeps them from being OP. I don't want Annie to be able to Rocketbelt forward and drop a demon bear on me then be able to flash out. Just isn't fair. I don't want it to ruin the game for me more than this season already has.

Protobelt will leggit become must have against most match-up.

Wanna dodge this Ashe, Jinx, Ezreal, Draven ult? Protobelt.

Another mage is going to land a meaningfull skillshot on you? Protobelt.

A meelee just got in range and you are scared? Protobelt.

Getting ganked? Protobelt.

It's like how flash is pretty much mandatory, and rito has acknowledged that. Not sure why they added another mobility item like this to the game.. It's gonna be pretty much mandatory too. Not to mention that you can get hit by multiple bolts, like Ashe volley, so you can protobelt right onto someone and completely chunk them. Leblanc now has three distortions. Great.

MelledoneusMay 3, 20161 votes

The stats leave you wanting, so the item is not a good rush item.

But yes, they're doing an awful job of dealing with mobility creep.

Brand will be my new favorite midlaner... HAHHAHAHAHAH BS PASSIVE PROCS FOR ALL

Simple MoonMay 3, 20161 votes

It's a ridiculous passive. The reworked mages will need serious tuning and be broken to all hell for at least a month.

My pocket pick is going to turn into a pick or ban for a few weeks, ugh.

MelledoneusMay 3, 20161 votes

Try him jungle. IT WORKS.

Solidair3May 3, 20161 votes

Good. I wanna play the new mage stuff. Especially Syndra, Malz, and Vlad. Get hype!

Mage the Fourth be with you.

Hey, I'm excited for the patch! I can finally bring out my full magic resist page: Galio

Simple MoonMay 3, 20161 votes

Ugh who is that champion!!?

WhiteArabBroMay 3, 20161 votes

May the fourth be with you

MazariamontiMay 3, 20161 votes

I'm worried about malzahar, just looking at it reminds me of the gangplank rework, where they essentially buffed every one of his abilities. The problem here is that unlike old gangplank, malzahar was already a good champion.

His Ult combo is borked now though. They ripped the damage off his ult and basically just gave him W damage which is pretty insignificant. They reduced his damage across the board. So you can't stack WER and get a kill or almost kill like before. And now you don't have the W to soften up tanks.

Maybe if you get enough voidlings stacked and then Ult it might be the same or similar damage, but it scales off AD so it can't do that much damage.

The voidling stuff will determine whether he is good or not, because overall his traditional sources of damage are gone.

Phew, it's a good thing I'm farming Loki Prime in Warframe and have some quests to do for Hearthstone.

And also stuff to do in Merchant.
