Highlight Champions of 5.13

Meep Man·Jul 7, 2015·3 votes·1,083 views

Big changes: AP Item Pass/Sated Devourer/Tahm Kench

Champion #1: Buffs/Changes/Nerfs:

Nashor's Tooth offers more AP, giving Teemo more overall damage through Q, E, and R.
Liandry's Torment gives more AP so Teemo gets more damage.
Rabadon's gives Teemo more AP end game since majority of Teemo's items didn't get reduced AP.
Sated Devourer (if possible) allows Teemo E to proc teice every other basic attack, dealing 100 (+60% AP) magic damage at Rank 5. Summary: Teemo deals more overall damage and Jungle Teemo becomes an actual potential threat. Deals major damage if he can get to Sated, especially if he also has Nashor's, giving his burst attack 130 (+90% AP) magic damage.

Champions #2 and #3: and Buffs/Changes/Nerfs:

Sated Devourer benefits in two different places of their kits that synergize with the item as well, aka double synergy, meaning you get a butt ton of benefits from one purchase innately. Summary: Master Yi and Jax proc their passive attack modifiers more frequently while also having on-hit effects.

Champion #4: Buffs/Changes/Nerfs:

Rylai's slow change gives a higher sticking for Mordekaiser, solving one of his main issues.
Every item he can buy past boots was buffed in his favor except for Zhonya's. Summary: Mordekaiser gets better items and Rylai's slow gives Mordekaiser much more stick for killing things.

Champion #5: Buffs/Changes/Nerfs:

WOTA was changed to not require a lot of items to work, benefitting Vladimir.
General itemization buff. Summary: Will probably have a weak of glory before not seeing much light again unless a bug happens.

Champion #6: Buffs/Changes/Nerfs:

Rylai's slow gives Q a very powerful slow and his R a powerful slow for prepared team fights.
General itemization buff. Summary: You wanna soam spells? Karthus is here and his Q with a 40% slow is here.

Think of anymore? Post below so we and Riot can know who you think to keep an eye on.

You forgot already strong champions : Cassiopeia Anivia Karthus . Those are already very strong, but with the incoming changes, their items get way strongers. Anivia Karthus with item 3027 + item 3003 . I'm not sure if karthus will use rilay, he need so many items already. ( item 3089 item 3157 item 3135 item 3020 to survive very longs in fight , and deal crapton of damages.

Cassiopeia with item 3151 + item 3116 ( and item 3003 for cassio)

I wanted to avoid already "known to all as good already" champions and focus more on the "This patch will make them potentially used in the pro scene." Saying that, Anivia and Brand can probably be included too.

Shyvava to, with sated devourer, she can proc 4 times the botrk with her Q. The cooldown get quickly lower, since it's reduced by AAs. Skarner become pretty insane to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pY-CGwWntU

Meddler already spoke out and said that Phantom Hit (the second auto that applies double on-hits) only procs on basic attacks, not on on-hit effects. So Ezreal's Q, Shyvana's Q, GP's Q, and other skills that apply on-hit effects will not interact with it at all.

Shyvana will still be very powerful, with the double CD lower on her Q, the increased fury generation making her ult last longer, and the double proc of % health damage on E. But she won't have burst on her Q.

Triple proc on E* Q + phantom. So if she uses her Q, she will proc botrk 3 times ?

No. Her Q applies on hit effects twice. Phantom Hit only works on basic attacks, not abilities that apply on-hit effects. So, if she uses her Q, she gets 2E, plus 50% Burnout, plus 2Devourer (so 120 damage), plus 2*BoRK. The Phantom Hit will not apply at all.

That makes sense, thanks you for explaining ! It sounds way more balanced that way ^^

She will be able to triple the new W on-hit damage too on a Q however. Since the initial hit of her Q still counts as a basic attack (I believe), the initial hit can proc, but she will have to have her last basic attack not have proc'd Sated Devourer. The second hit won't apply Sated Devourer I think is what he was saying since it isn't a direct basic attack. Otherwise she actually might be broken with the new W effect plus E.

Cassiopeia Viktor Azir KogMaw maybe Karthus will rule the mid lane. Rumble will be more broken than before maybe Vladimir also. item 3003 will be very strong and those champions who can effectively stack a tier will be scary. I don't think we will see more Mordekaiser . The bonus slow won't be enough, he will be still the easiest mid laner to kite, while the item 3152 change is a nerf to his early power. Teemo will be still useless in tf if they can clear every shroom with red trinkets. Anivia and will be sightly stronger, but is it enough for them? Malzahar is very interesting. He is somewhere between broken and trash tier. Very hard to figure out how the change affect him. Very hard to find good meta for Swain and i doubt it will change. I don't wait big meta shift from these changes. Tier stacking and scaling mid laners will rule the mid lane, assasins wil stay where are they atm, non tier stacking mages might be weaker. I don't think so much unpopular champ will rise, Maybe Karthus and Kayle . This is just my speculation and opinion and we will se in the next weak how these change will play out. I don't want to talk about sated devourer. Just like it's progenitors this will be also a failur. Will be broken and will get nerfed to the ground in the next patch

Good list :)

7ha7guy777Jul 7, 20151 votes

Depending on how you build him, Malzahar should be gaining around 60 base ap at full build. Which would be 48 more damage on Q and E and 78 more on his ult. I'm not really sure how it'll effect the W due to the fact that's % hp damage. If it rounds on the tooltip but scales at a rate of 1% for every 20 ap for the full 5 seconds then it'll do 3% more

AaravosJul 7, 20151 votes

Yes but ROA will be sightly weaker when you purchase it, and will give less hp when it's stacked, and tankiness is important on him. His damage outpot is already above broken tier, but he face with 2 issue, Not rly useful without ultimate, and while he chaneling his R he is exremly vulnerable. This is why i said he is between broken and trash tier. His damage will be even higher than before, but he lose some early power and tankiness. The question is how this extra damage will affect him. The only non-popular mage where i feel these change can break him. Due to his kit he is trash or broken.

Critmaster GarenJul 7, 20151 votes

looks like teemo needs another nerf.

SasogwaJul 7, 20151 votes

Incoming Karthus rylai + full tank. Just activate E and laugh as everyone has a melee Frozen mallet slow applied on them.

Mandang0Jul 7, 20151 votes

Rylai's still has reduced slow% for DoTs.

The Yetii RiderJul 7, 20151 votes

That is possible, seeing as her Twin Bite is a basic attack modifier and not an ability like Parrrley or Mystic Shot. I don't know how it works though, we'll have to see.

Mandang0Jul 7, 20151 votes

Karthus's Q already applied full Rylai's slow if you landed it on a solo target.

WotA's change is actually a nerf to Vlad, as he loses the spellvamp against minions in the part of the game when he doesn't have the items he needed to make WotA work. The real reason Vlad belongs on your list is Rylai's.

Azir's a bigger threat than everyone on your list, IMO. 40% slow on all of his spells (including sand soldier autos) is going to be ridiculous.

InSingedWeTrustJul 7, 20151 votes

Singed He gets MR/level in his patch as well as a increase in base MR, helping him fight more easily vs AP. item 3027 / item 3003 buffed late game. item 3151 buffed. item 3116

It's even possible that spellvamp Singed may become a thing.
