Patch 5.2

Removal of DFG: Really not sure how I feel about it. I really only used it on ahri, and even then I often forgot to use it. It's definitely hurting some champs but overall I don't think it will make much of a difference.

Tristana: I love the change to her E. It makes her a much better team fighter because it gives her a lot of aoe damage, and she can now push towers even faster.

Ahri: Goodbye burst... I know 20% additional damage is a lot of damage, but I feel like she needs it. Ahri relies on landing charm to easily land her q which is otherwise pretty easy to dodge. Even if you land a charm and throw out the q right after if your opponent starts clicking to move sideways, then odds are they will be able to dodge the true damage. The damage from her q isn't all that great until it's coming back towards you, so without the 20% on charm getting charmed won't be that big of a deal. Yeah I know her W got a huge buff, but that damage won't be able to make up for the loss of the 20% because more often than not it targets minions. I do like the movement speed buff from her q which is going to make her almost impossible to gank even when her ult is down.

Akali: Well her early game is a little weaker now that her e doesn't proc her mark, but if her ult targets you onto the targeted champion (you ult to them and start trying to auto attack them regardless of whether or not you right clicked them) I don't think it will be that big of deal (Can someone let me know if that's what it does?). Her ult getting a range decrease is going to be annoying, but it still has more range than everyone's auto attacks so she can still jump onto adcs and the such without getting poked to death.

Annie: Tibbers definitely needed this. After the initial burst tibbers was very easy to kite, and now it is much harder.

Cass: I don't think her mana costs needed to be raised that high, but I also don't play her so I don't really know.

Fizz: Got a huge nerf to his Q, got a huge buff to his W, and stole the 20% increased damage from ahri's charm and put it on his shark so now he'll do more single target damage... I think i'm okay with his changes other than the fact that he stole the 20% additional damage from ahri.

Rek'Sai: Good she needed a huge nerf.

Zed: Well he won't be able to duel people as well and it will be slightly harder to secure a kill with his ult, but I don't think it will make too much of a difference.

Hextech Gunblade: I'm gald it got the buff (if you could call it a buff), but it's not going to be able to replace dfg as you seem to think ("After losing out on Deathfire Grasp, some champions might be looking for healthier alternatives")... Really riot... really.... But it does help akali more as she is one of the very few champs that benefits from it.

One other thing: "Fixed a bug where Shadow Dance stacks were not visible to other champions" Why does the enemy team need to know when someone's ult is available? If you can't communicate with your team that's your problem. If your going to make one champs ult's availability visible you should make everyone's ults availibility visible.
