Patch 6.20 Translated.
Ladies and Gentle Frogs. I LIVE AGAIN! And, let us see what Riot has been up to in my absence. . .
Greeting Summoners, for our twentieth patch of Season six, we brought you a TREE. (Don't ask what happened to the Lorax. You don't want to know.)
And with that, we're off to count all the money we saved be firing the developers. <Background noise.> We didn't fire them? <Background noise.> What do you mean we have to announce more? <Background noise.> Well then why, of all the things we could possibly do, are we giving them a tree!? <Background noise.> Oh.... Um....
AS I WAS SAYING, we've got a few changes to champions that need the love. You're probably used to seeing them at this point, but I assure you it is purely coincidence. We're totally not throwing some low-hanging fruit because we did all this 20 minutes ago. (>_>)
CHAMPIONS
~~~~ IVERN
We weren't joking about the tree. He'll get here eventually.
~~~~ ASHE
While we're perfectly fine with ADC's being able to stat-check people in melee range come late game, Ashe is doing it a little too well (sorry, Graves). So we're giving her Q a little Love-tap. Also, her crit slow is stronger to ensure opponents can't reach her in the first place.
Net change: minimal.
~~~~ cHO'gATH
We finally Fixed Cho's bad breath. He now actually has to scream to silence opponents. To compensate, we increased the range.
We also reduced the cooldown on his scream (who can resist those puppy-dog eyes?). Duration reduced slightly to compensate, since we haven't tested it yet.
Net change: May be noticed. Maybe.
~~~~ JINX
Jinx's rockets are getting a little oppressive after all her opponent's got nerfed. So we're nerfing her E - Flame chompers instead. (Note to self: Hire the intern who came up with this. It's brilliant!)
Net change: Smoke and Mirrors.
~~~~ NUNU
Y'all like mini-games, right? GREAT! Nunu has one now. We also gave him some buffs so people can talk about how great this has made him.
Net change: Look, a distraction!
~~~~ TALIYAH
She was recently nerfed. Now she's under-performing. Here's a buff. 3 Sentences.
Net change: Nearly invisible.
~~~~ VLADIMIR
For an AP juggernaut, Vlad is surprisingly hard to kill. Messing with his ratios will hopefully get him ton stop building tank items. It worked for Soraka. (>_>)
Net Change: None. Unless you Challenger.
~~~~ YORIK
A few quality of life improvements for our recently returned "friend". Want to make sure he's working properly before we remember how much we hate split pushers and gut him back into the grave.
Net Change: We did something!
~~~~ KOGGLES
Some visual improvements we overlooked during his recent rework. We're not going to make any changes since players still need to learn how use his shiny new kit.
Net change: This is not the void puppy you are looking for.
~~~~ SHYVANA
Her Q - Twin bite is now faster. Well... Not actually faster. but it looks faster. And that's all those scrubs really care about anyways.
Net change: Looks like something. Actually nothing.
~~~~ BARON NASHER
Winter is coming, and the cold seems to be affecting our favorite Void Worm. His rubbery skin is stiffening up making him a less effective trampoline. We'll probably fix this eventually.
Net change: We didn't do anything, but will happily take credit for it!
TWISTED TREELINE . . . TURRETS!
It seems we've finally found out where Valor hangs out between matches. The blasted bird has been perching atop TT's outer turrets and giving call-outs. We installed some wires to scare him away. Turrets only see what they attack, Valor! Bet you thought we were going change the map. Silly player base, you!
Net change: Minus 4 nests.
BASIC ATTACK CANCELING
DISCLAIMER: animation canceling is still considered an exploit by Riot Games. Since we're talking about ADC's, however, we decided to help players do it. This is totally not a double standard (Riven). Auto attack movement cancels now have a buffer of three-hundredths of a second.
Net change: Pretty massive, man. Now all those 500 ping Bronzies can get in on the action!
INTERN HOUR 60 seconds before this goes live... BEGIN!
- Hec E crit
- Panth ult item lockout fix
- Jarvin Buff
- Vayne nerf
- Trynd friendly fire fix
- Harold VS Garen pranks ended
- Kled ult Pings <Editor's note: Since when do Kleds EVER use Pings?>
- Item Pings
- Bunny Salt's SFX
- Anti-IoW Ziggs Q visuals
- Fizz/Daiana skin health bars moved
Net Change: Nick of time.
PROJECT CLEANUP
PROJECT crafting materials are eating up too many resources to continue supporting. You've got until 06 November to say your goodbyes before we delete them. (We'll probably find a reason to blame the community too - worked for Dominion.)
Net change: Bought some time.
UPCOMING SKINS
The skins team, unlike our team of perfect and fabulous individuals, apparently forgot they had to actually... You know... Make skins. So after a friendly reminder (We DID have to remind them, let nobody tell you otherwise), they overlaid some Star guardian Lux Vomit on a few other champions. They're probably just recolors, but give them a break. Not everyone can be as flawless as us.
Net Change: Scapegoat established successfully.
I should probably put something here. Like, why I disappeared for the last 5 patches. Buuuut..... I'm not. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]
