I feel like good old LoL is back. There was some good about changing the meta. Now support mundo, ori or xerath aren't that good anymore :-(

Care to...elaborate?

yeah! when preseason came out, those targon gold items meant that the winning side support would basically make more gold than their jungler, which brought out so many possibilities regarding champion picks (ex.: "rise of the ap support") or even game strats (ex.: swapping jungle to bot and having a roaming support... that would make so much sense as the support is the warding powerhouse in the team). Since patch 3.15 came out... i feel like most changes were just... a bit cosmetic in the end. I play leona with that relic shield start... and idk in most situations i would be better off just with 2 green wards and 5 pots, especially playing against an ap poke support. So. Is there a midway between those 2 patches that can be reached by reworking those gold items? Just asking. Your impressions welcome.

Actually, I was playing Xerath yesterday, and he actually feels very powerful. Of course, it could have just been I was having good games, but overall his reaction time seems faster, the rotation more fluid, and overall combat much more potent. Sure, his mana sucks, but you just gotta make good use of your W+Q combo to really scare them off (only really mobile mid laners or mid-laners with dash abilities are going to give you a hard time.)

Orianna has always been a High-Skill Champion, and if you play her right, she can very easily lock down mid lane and poke from a ridiculous range.

Haven't really played Mundo, so I can't say how he is, but overall, Orianna and Xerath are meant to be mid laners, aggressive ones at that, and not support champions. then again, anything is possible in the League... (Annie is supposed to also be an aggressive mid laner, but also makes a surprisingly viable support.)

I was talking about the viability of these champs as supports. Although Mundo is now considered a more than viable toplaner. And u are right Xerath and Ori are mid beasts. I only wish i had better moves w Ori, she is my best babe after Leona.

Yasuo is quite possibly a huge meta-changing champ, being able to negate ADCs completely as well as a lot of mid options. (either you sit back safe and do no damage, or you go in and get wrecked by Yasuo or bruisers.)

idk why but the godlike Yasuos who quadra under enemy turret are NEVER on my side. I get the feeder Yasuo jungle that goes 0/10/2 by endgame. I hate Yasuo with passion (imho the cd of his dash could easily be 3 seconds instead of 0.3 seconds). Although as far as i know Vi destroys Yasuo big time, i guess you are right in that he can change the meta. I should buy him next and learn to do those &%/$@ bs quadras.
