I am going to LOVE the patch rundown

The PBE is for expiramentation and anything there is up to change, as long as it involves reddit and lee sin. Anything else will stay no matter how valid the argument against it.

At Riot we arn't always right, but we sure as shit like to think we are.

"Today riot has officially deleted Garen lets take a moment of silence....." <----what i would give to hear them say this.

Take a shot every time somebody says "This is a large buff to marksmen/ADCs", or "This is a large nerf to tanks".

"Greetings summoners!

For patch 5.16, we're rolling out some changes to get us ready for worlds! First up, Lee Sin gets buffs because he hasn't been seen in nearly every game in months. We feel like he can offer so much to impress the mouthbreathers in the crowd, and gave him a leg up to dominate the meta once again. Also, we all know that the last couple of months has been pretty great as far as diversity goes (remember the diversity dirigible? Yeah, we crashed that mother right into the ground this patch) but we just can't have tanky champions all over the place. They tend to put the people watching the game to sleep! So we're getting rid of those unflashy disgraces with broad nerfs to armor and tank itemization. Goodbye entire role, hello lots of people dying in a quarter of a second. Those are the flashy plays we like to see at worlds!

We also have included the Juggernaut update this patch. For those of you that don't know, our Juggernaut update has two main goals:

1. Make Garen, Darius, Skarner, and Mordekaiser more unique.
2. Nerf those four bastards to the point no one will play them.

We feel like we've mostly succeeded at those goals (although Darius may need more tweaking as he still might see play) so we're pretty confident in releasing these changes now.

Finally, and this is our biggest change, we're effectively ending the PBE. The PBE was put in place to find bugs, test new mechanics, and gather player feedback. Since we at Riot haven't used the PBE for any of those things in a couple years, we decided it wasn't worth the hassle anymore. We would like to thank all the players that have participated in the PBE over the years. Any new champion, map, game, etc. updates will be posted about on Reddit instead. Maybe the actual League forums as well, but only if we can be bothered.

i wont be surprised if they didnt even make a 5.16 patch rundown because they dont know how to explain it

"We're buffing MR, but it's such a meaningless buff we may as well not have, we're also nerfing the shit out of all the armor items for no reason. We did an okay job on Darius, destroyed Garen, gave skarner some rocks and turned morde into a bruiser/tank/adc... Also we've gave certainlyT the ability to do whatever the hell he wants." -Rito on 5.16

"We thought that people aren't blaming the jungler nearly enough lately, so we took an unpopular champion and changed his passive so that he buffs the enemy team."

"We have no idea how to make other roles attractive enough to challenge the bot lane meta, so we pigeonholed the crap out of this guy into a lane that was never his to begin with. We thought about maybe letting the rising popularity of marksmen in mid and top lanes mature a bit and seeing how it goes from there, but screw it. This guy is going to get reworked from the ground up in a season or two anyway, so might as well show some #trollpride."

''Yes, we decided to make Mordekaiser into the weakest early game champion and completely deleted his ability to go into a Solo Lane. Now go play Lee $in!''

Can't wait to see all those dislikes and comments calling riot out on their bullshit on youtube.

"Ohmwrecker was dominating the item pool, it was the go to item for any champion in the game, so we toned down it's passive and made it more expensive"

"we suck at our job and this is us reminding you. have fun."

5.16 : "We implemented Titanic Hydra so we had to nerf the shit out of a lot of our bruisers. Since we felt it was good timing we also nerfed the shit out of morde and garen".

5.17 : "We had to nerf Titanic Hydra to uselessness because people were playing Tank Rengar again. We didn't actually buff the other guys".

"Here at Riot we love to have Reddit dickride us till the cows come home". "As for our main forum that we ruined and never plan to fix, Fuck you".

"We thought that Garen was too oppressive on mages and fighters that had to cast spells, so we nerfed his silence so they would have a chance to fight back. Also, we thought he was being a "juggernaut" way too well by our definition so we butchered his health and reduced his ability to stack resistances. Garen wasn't dealing enough damage with his ridiculous ult that scales off of the enemy's missing health, so he also deals 1% every Judgement tick to a single random target on the other team (that will nearly always be someone that doesn't actually HAVE that much health ex. ADC, APC). All in all, we hope this solidifies Garen's role as a trash heap."

Zirene is going to go off on them. I can feel it. He's seemingly the most community styled one out of all of them, because his job is to play and commentate the game, not design it. He knows how it actually feels compared to just how it should feel.

"So we haven't seen too much of zed lately,5.16 is aimed at fixing that"

Riot Devs: "Well these changes sure did enhance the fantasies we originally made of these great 'Juggernauts', huh? I mean look at how much of an unstoppable force Morde is now with that Dragon!"

[Actual League Player]: "Well I do not really think it makes much sense really for any of the characters. Garen's new spin... Darius' rage and self heal... Morde's W makes him no longer a solo laner. Look at the-"

Devs: "Nonononononono. You are supposed to smile. No don't look at the camera. Look at us and smile. Nod your head. Good. These changes are great and you will accept your new game philosophy overlords."

About 2 months ago one of my best friends in League got me King of Clubs . I never really played Morde much, but I decided to try it out with my Nunu top specs. He was a lot of fun- a bit of a lane bully- but not the total cheese of certain other characters. Now he is gutted hard by the forced Duo Lane.

I main fighters or tanks like , , , and with the new changes to items like and , everyone I play is taking a huge hit.

has the interesting potential now that it could do more harm to characters like or , but its nerf to the % of enemy AD ruins what it was made to do, which is punish ADCs for focusing tanks. And that more harm to AA AP characters isnt even large enough to constitute nerfing the AD part at all AND the nerfs to EVERY OTHER ARMOR IN THE GAME make it worse to even play a tank using thornmail.

I am going to play the hell out of until 5.16. Then I have no idea what I'll do for the rest of the season, or even next season. I hear HotS is adding Rexxar and a another Diablo map. Maybe Ill go back there now for a season or two.

R. I. P. Skarner 2011-2015. Btw.: Can I get the RP back I spent on his skins?
