The Patch Rundown’s back!

We’re focusing Patch 4.16’s rundown discussion on mages and mage identity! While Azir’s busy summoning soldiers and getting his empire back up and running, Cassiopeia’s shed her skin and transformed into a late game hypercarry role in 4.16. Join MsPudding as she discusses the patch alongside designers Riot Scruffy, ZenonTheStoic and Riot Scarizard!

As before, we’re looking for feedback to help us improve future videos, so add in your comments below!

I just wanted to say "Thank you LoL for subtitles" I'm mostly deaf and I am so proud for LoL to think about closed captions for other people like me. Once again, thanks and awesome show about Patch 4.16 ^^

Oh...for the love of all that is holy!!! Can you please give a timeframe on when the Sion "Redux" will be completed? So frustrating to see so many new champs being created and existing champs being tweaked over 3 or 4 patches while he rots on the shelf.

I would love to see the different Azir Kit battle! That would be so cool.

Yet no one cares for sion Sion there leaving him to rot rito plz

I like when they have a pro player on to discuss and even question/critique the changes, or at least someone who's not a non-Rioter. Having all three be designers led to them just nodding along with each other without having any kind of meaningful back-and-forth.

Video did not contain lore discussion. Lost interest rapidly. How is 3 second lore considered acceptable at Riot? Please explain.

For a future patch, (Because i don't draw very well) I would like a skin for I was thinking custodian nautilus. Basically his weapon is a dust-mop.

can we see the different kits that where tossed around for azir? would love to see how he evolved through out his creation.

Cassiopeia passive doesn't seems unique to me, it's similar to Veigar Thresh imo.

Lol hypercarry Cass when she lost roughly 700 damage overall

These stack buffs for Cass passive had better be Very strong. Her passive is already one of the best in the game. ITS just NOBODY freaking uses it at ALL. I see so many of the people who claim to be a "top" cass player let the passive Drop and reset back to zero. If you CAST Q all the time at exactly 4.5sec EVEN IF YOU CANT HIT MINIONS OR CHAMPS with it. You can maintain her passive the entire time you're in lane or out of the base. AND you will also REGEN mana while Q'ing. at lvl 5 Q with a 5 stack of the current passive your mana cost is 17mp. However by lvl 8 with a flask set and then a tear at 700g which are your first two items you have more MP5 than 17mp its around 8mana a second AND you can max out the tear in 16-20mins. Also when you B back to buy stuff you can cast 3-4 spells in the base while buying stuff to build passive stacks and just Q back into lane with FULL mana and a FULL set of stacks so 50% less mana cost forever! This also ensures that when you do attack your lane opponent taht you can Bully them non stop with no fear of running out of mana and usually get the kill without the ult saving that for the jungle gank double kill. After that double kill you'll still have more than half your mana bar due to all those spells being at 50%.

This new passive Ruins Cass as far as I can tell. Unless her stacks help build massive MP5 becuase cass is a mana hungry beast unless you play her as I've mentioned above. I've even played Cass Support. You build a little slower but you start with the same two items and you can Bully the bot lane under the towers and free farm CS with NO fear of the jungle gank because as cass support you actually can put out a shit ton of damage.

I miss old Cassiopeia ... She's ruined now for me.

Bers9/11/2014, 1:22:42 AM2 votes

No offense, I love this game and all but I REALLY hate the new lores... I mean you had made them really good stories and now they're basically saying "Hi. My name is Renekton. One day I got mad and its all my brother's fault. Bye." I really hope this at least gets stuff added onto it because this is just way too boring for me...

SeaNineJatt9/11/2014, 1:25:13 AM2 votes

When will we get a proper deterrent to dodging in ARAM? Average sits around 5 dodges before all 10 stick around. Up the ban time considerably and set re-rolls to zero.

Logged in just so I could get two requests out there.

Can we get copy paste when viewing the Patch notes from the LOL Launcher.

**I read these patches for one reason.. **To see whose OP and whose not anymore... To see who i'm going to nonstop banned and verse every match until the new patch arrives.

While I appreciate that they're updating old champs, just on principle, I have to wonder: why the HELL was cassiopeia their first target? Even within the mage spectrum, there are champs who are just dying for something to modernize them. Ryze, for example. He just gets more damage from mana, and more CDR from CDR, effectively. Doesn't do much for the "output" they're phrasing for up there.

The new Cass passive just enforces my desire to build a team with her, Nasus, and veigar. the common theme? Time is not on the enemy's side. You see those stackers come out, you're on the clock. You take more than 40 min to beat them, you lose.

TheCleaningCrew9/11/2014, 3:39:56 PM2 votes

I hope to god you're not planning to change all the champ bios like you did the ones in this patch. I actually enjoy reading those things, and while the new ones get straight to the point they're just not interesting. If I didn't already know what the bios used to be, some of what I read just now wouldn't even make sense to me.

I know you guys want to leave the lore open so you're not so restricted, but you could have filled the bios up with more stuff that wouldn't do that. I'd even ask you to fix the ones you just changed. Make them longer, give them more detail, make them more interesting. Don't let those be the final draft.

Edit: I like everything else you've done this patch. But I mean, come on. Three lines?

It's a joke saying they're "diversifying" mages when the Cassi update just homogenized her build and power curve. :\

SouledOne9/18/2014, 4:39:07 AM1 votes

Only problem I see with "late game Cass," is MOST assassin mids can dominate early to mid, and still wreck late game.

Kayana Koe9/9/2014, 11:43:41 PM1 votes

I guess the Soraka update is too sensative. I still think she could stand for a lower heal cooldown and not being able to use her w and e on FRIGGEN MINIONS! WHY IS THAT EVEN A THING?! I cannot even count how many times I've misclicked minions -.-
