Aside from new visuals for SR? Any crumbs of information for Season 5 changes? Season 4 changes were focused on jungle and support changes as well as vision changes. Where can we expect to see the most changes next season?

Bruisers nerfed more. ADCs buffed more. Assassins nerfed more. More mages in the support role driving out traditional supports. Top lane becoming more and more about ranged champions, even possibly being another lane for a "safe" (re: high mobility) ranged carry: either a mage or another ADC.

Item changes are made to further reinforce these decisions. Champions that have been left in the gutter for far too long (Garen, Darius, Olaf, etc) are left there in spite of outcry for them to be made better again.

New champions that are released further cement these changes with both high mobility as well as nerfs to those champions that are released (about a month after release) that would violate this particular system.

The game becomes primarily about right clicking or instant burst combos. Tanking dies out.

I have no information from Riot, but the changes made at the start of this season and during this season seem to point towards those overall trends.

When payed $20 for information about Starwars, Harrison Ford took the money...then responded that he heard they may be making a new one.

I can only hope a Riot employee will respond to this post in similar manner.

Servers available 1/7 days a week.

You'll have just enough time to get both your buffs before the game deletes itself from existence. That is, of course, if you can find the 10 minute monthly window you have to log in before the servers shut down again!

I'd predict SRVU comes out sometime middle of next season (I hear it's still pretty buggy). I think they'll focus on ADC next season; hyper carries are pretty dominant right now, and it's probably the most one dimensional role in that respect.

same stuff, new op champs, the only difference will be the map changes
