You guys are nailing it so far. The new splash is great. I was a bit sad about losing the big gem hammer, but I think a three pronged mace will fit the cleric/paladin theme better. I was a bit apprehensive at first that you guys were going to make him bland/boring, especially after I saw his weapon teased at the event in South America(?), but now I'm completely hyped.
PS: THAT MANCLEAVE IS TRULY, TRULY, OUTRAGEOUS

On a serious note tho, how strong is she atm?
I used to insta tilt whenever I saw one, and I'm keeping her perma banned just to make sure...
Blue Moon Wolf2 votesI know she was one of the light fighters people would complain about building as a juggernaut before riot nerfed 
and 
(right next to 
, 
and 
) , Also people still don't like how her ult still works if a teammate lands the kill. though I found out she needs to at least land one hit on a vital for it to work, so if she dies before landing a hit on the target she ulted, there will be no healing.
Sahn Uzal2 votesI Just like being tanky when playing Sion, Fiora makes it feel like im made of butter. She's also impossible to shut down- it feels that way atleast- much like Fizz, she Just needs some levels to ouyduel you, even when 4+ kills behind
Ariel the Cruel4 votesI played Soraka into one not too long ago. By Riot, she tilted hard from that. Absolutely hilarious. Best part was: I didn't do a thing to her!
She kept complaining that I always ran away. Then she roamed mid for an "easy" kill and got denied by my ult.
I'm suspect she was a Riven in disguise. (>_>)
rtbf2256182412 votesWell she's not as strong as she used to be due to her recent nerfs but a fed Fiora can still basically 1v4 people.
VentusDragoon1 votesIf she gets one vital point hit on you, you're not getting away alive. There is quite literally no way to build against her because she does %health true damage, so health, armor, and magic resist do literally nothing. All you can really do is try not to die or kill her before she kills you (or gets her ult, which literally heals her faster than Mundo's ult.)

Never mind.
A Ocean1 votesJust waiting for mine. "Research thematic is not explored very well". This is basically a teaser for a super fun minigame that replaces this dumb, old, boring passive. I'm already hyped . . .

Elderwood Lily1 votesIf they fuck up Vel'koz and Vlad , at least i'll still have Taric. ._.
RG Velean1 votesI'm so concerned about the Vel rework ;~; I've been a Vel'Koz main since I started playing league... I don't want them to mess him up
Helmight1 votesVel'Koz'll be fine. The boards collectively made enough stink about him that the only parts that are likely to change will be his passive, W, and maybe E. The iconic parts of Vel'Koz will be left as-is, so we can still geometry the hell out of people.
RG Velean1 votesI like my wave clear though :c I'm worried that they're going to over complicate his kit with the examination and dissection of enemies that he won't be any fun or even remotely valid as a mid
Helmight1 votesSince Vel'Koz is primarily played as and regarded as a midlaner, I'm not too concerned that he won't be viable there post-rework. I am also confident that Riot will find a way to include his "research and destroy" thematics in his kit in a way that's not too complicated. To be honest, I always felt that Organic Deconstruction filled that niche quite well, and that was just a three-hit passive. Even a slightly more complex passive won't make Vel'Koz too much harder to play as a whole.
Elderwood Lily1 votesAnyway i'm having Shitty Games with him... I'm bad at this game in general :/ I'll just stick with Taric....

Warlord Dienekes1 votesI liked what I saw so far. I am just really afraid for when the Targonians show up. Kind of like what happened with Atreus. Great character, then suddenly possessed by a space-spirit-thing.
Here's hoping whatever Taric goes through isn't like that at all.

It looks like it already happened, see the noxian/freljordian guy that evaporated. He appears to be an aspect a la Leona and Diana.
And I'm still holding out for a new VO for Panth that has Atreus fighting the Pantheon's hold on him from the inside. I mean the one thing we have of Atreus in the new lore is that he just flat out never stopped fighting, why should he just give up and let some otherworldly ponce up and skedaddle with his body?
Marbelara1 votesYou do know that Atreus is such a well estabilished character because he'd be making a reappearance for 99%? I mean Rioters hinted at it since day 0.
Warlord Dienekes1 votesSorry mate, I've tried for a few minutes to understand what you're trying to say, but I'm drawing a blank here.
Marbelara1 votesThe boards threads right after Panth's lore went out. We were all kind of crying about Atreus and then I noted thet while his family thought him dead, it didn't mean he was actually dead. Also Leona and Diana hint at a coexistence between vessel x aspect.
Some people said that 'but it's a rule that they're lost to Panth'. Then Riot Narrative said that 'sometimes rules are broken', something in this context, lemme look for links quick.
Warlord Dienekes3 votesRight, it was a Riordan (is that the guys name?) quote. It was then brought up later as proof that Atreus would be returning and he came back to say that he just likes teasing and not to take his earlier statement as the truth on what's going to happen.
But honestly, even if Atreus does destroy the Aspect known as Pantheon, I'd still be disappointed that this weird body-snatching narrative even came about. It's just bad, in my opinion, anyway.
Garnet Dust1 votesShe looks perfect! I'm just really excited to see her potentially game-breaking ultimate! I think one of the Rioters said it could be the most situationally powerful ultis in the game!
I'm hoping for equal parts glamor, glitter, fashion and fame. PURE JEM!
