So, the Mid season patch is gonna hit this week, so consider this:

It's new for everyone.

These changes have only been on the PBE for two weeks and it's not the best tool to get a good look at how they'd play out on the live servers. A lot of youtube channels in particular rely on PBE content to make a living and they might use extremely clickbait-y footage to net in some extra views so you can't take them that serious anyways.

Thing is, these changes are BOUND to be imbalanced. There WILL be changes to the major Tank reworks, items and other mid-season goodies in the following patches. And most importantly, nobody really knows how to deal WITH them or play AGAINST them either.

So, before you'll jump onto the boards and complain about Maokai being too weak, Sejuani being OP or Mordekaiser being outright busted with the new Rift Herald take a few steps back and thing to yourself. "Is it legitimately broken or was it just the usual Midseason chaos?"

In the meantime, try out full ap Bushmage Maokai and Triforce Sejuani. You won't regret it!

And make sure to enjoy these changes, it's always fun to have one patch of complete chaos as it's bound to shake things up!

The tank reworks won't mean jack.

It was Lee Sin that keeps those champions out of their jungle, not their kits.

The only thing I'm worried about is the Herald. The new tanks will just be played a little for the lolz and then go back to their non-meta status.

New Zac looks pretty solid. He has extremely much CC with the update. The new tank items also seem to be on the stronger side, so we'll probably see some more tanks being played for a while.

"OMG FIRE THE RIOT EMPLOYEE WHO THOUGH ____ REWORK/ITEM/HERALD WAS BALANCED" or a variation on that.

I've been working on a new approach to a VGU for him. This time working more on the "Tyrant" aspect of his.

With cloak, more ornamented armor and crown-like spikes on his helmet.

Ooooooooo. Very Nice I've been putting together a narrative based around how I think his assault on Rune Terra would go.

It's difficult trying to present the leagues champions personalities and relationship interactions while staying true to the characters themselves. Lots of Research thusfar with only a little rough drafts

Something being new doesn't influence whether that something is OP, UP, or neither.

Will do. I will certainly get some attack speed on Sejuani in this Chaos. Set those stacks up real quick... I guess. In the mean time, I will be looking for Tryn and Yasuo players to set my E procs within a second. Camp those lanes to no end.
