New Patch 6.1
@Riot
OK, so a few things, suggestions mostly.
New champ select, I have used once, I like the layout. What I don't like is that the ADC "marksman" role is labeled BOT. Can you just face the facts that the game has been the same meta for 4 years/seasons. Duo bot lane meta has been around for so long. Label it for what it is. Morde ADC should not be a thing, neither should other mage bot lanes be a thing. If you label it ADC, it will also help you balance the game properly. You can't balance a game that has no base to go off of. Leading into my next point.
Masteries: "We are looking to it [Thunderlord's] as a "goalpost" from which we balance the other keystones around" whoever you hired recently for the balancing department. Give them a Power ball of a raise. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED. What we have needed for many years. Finally you have listened to the people. Balance starts at a goalpost, a base. A solid structure. You have found a mastery in the game that makes sense, like you said, it synergizes with a lot of champions. Stay on this track and you may have a long term game here.
Runic Echoes: Another improvement. What makes this a good item is the text saying "on hitting a Large Monster" That right there makes mid lane Ezreal or Varus not a thing. This is what you needed in Runeglaive. I'm glad you have fixed it. I assume "bonus dmg" is only to the large monster. If I assume wrong, then you have changed nothing... #SadPanda
Support Mana regen items: mana mana mana mana.... I don't need more mana. I need more stats. Now you have changed it. Give this person.. A Power ball raise.
Statikk Shiv: This was the go to wave clear item. It is now back to its old self as a dependable wave clear item. Thank you. Small raise for this person, because it was just a reloading of old files.
All in all, I am quite happy with this patch. Which, if you have followed any of my posts you would know I am usually unhappy about the patch notes.
