I'm all for a Karth resurgence if it means we get away from the assassin Zed/LeBlanc/Fizz mid. Wanna go back to my farm mid laners.

OMG THEY BUTCHERED THE BLOODTHIRSTER
...That I never built anyway because I play Twitch...

But yeah...from the standpoint of a bruiser player, and knowing the position of the fighters in this game, I'm quite happy that they're retuning AD Carry items because the reason the "ball of stats" champions like Irelia, Jax, and Xin Zhao exist is because the ranged AD Carries were dominating the game at the time of their creation. This is also the same reason more caster oriented fighters like Renekton, Lee Sin, and Darius exist to help balance those people out.
I might have lumped Xin in the wrong place...

From the standpoint of an AD marksman player, I can see this leading into situations with much stronger comebacks from screwups that lead to feeding your opponent. I mean, marksman is current the hardest scaling role in the game, and often snowballs uncontrollably if certain things occur.
Granted, most of this is just my immediate thoughts and will quickly turn into me rambling on without knowing what I'm talking about so whatever.

At any rate, I can see this leading into really, really good things in terms of game balance.

Oh good lord.

Oh my..
This is sure going to be harder for some of us to run, but this will advance LoL even further beyond it's old gritty WC3-esque style.
I'm loving this.

Actually, they've specifically mentioned that they're going to be optimizing the crap out of it to make sure it runs the same as the current one.
Also this might've helped compliment the video, but the video on its own is more impactful.

Oh good lord.

Welcome to the Dawngate.

Also those BT changes are a stealth nerf to ryan choi assassin rengar ;_;

Galactan · « **Reply #445 on:** June 07, 2014, 07:08:25 AM »

Looks absolutely stunning.
However, I can see many older models (Veigar, for instance) clashing with the new style. Perhaps a model overhaul will come on the heels of this?

I plan on getting back into this game, but I haven't played it since Feburary 2014. I know only a little bit of stuff from June.

What should I know before I return? Notable champion changes, new and removed items, etc.

-Xerath gameplay update
-Skarner gameplay update
-Summoner's Rift Visual Update
-Vel'Koz
All spells apply a stack of his passive when they deal damage. Upon reaching 3 stacks, deals true damage
Thunder Bolt-esque Q
Skillshot W that damages everything on its path a second time after a few seconds
Cho'Gath Q for E that knocks a little back instead of up
Ultimate is a death ray that is ridiculously satisfying to use
-Braum
Attacking and Q applies stacks of passive. Reaching four stuns them. Allies can help proc passive after it's applied.
Q is a skillshot that does damage, slows, and applies passive
W is a targeted ability that jumps to an ally and gives them armor/mr
E blocks projectiles in a direction like Yasuo, but you can move with it. They're only blocked, not phased out of existence, so if it blows up[jinx rocket] it'll still blow up
R is a groundpound kind of like Alistar Q but it also shoots out a line that slows, knocks up slightly, and immensely knocks up the first person hit
-Gnar
Passive is a "Mega" form that turns him really tanky and changes up his skills when he reaches full fury gained from being in combat
Q throws a boomerang that comes back, or a rock that you can pick up. catching/picking up the projectile makes the cooldown a lot slower
W applies stacks and when it gets to three deals magic damage, or it's a rectangular stun in an area right in front of you
E makes you hop and you'll bounce off the first person you hit, or you just jump and slow people you land on
R makes you move fast when your W goes off, or hurls everyone in a circle around you into a direction of your choosing.
-Azir
Passive 1 lets you revive a turret that isn't directly inside the enemy base that gains your AP as extra damage
Passive 2 converts CDR into attack speed
Q moves sand soldiers to a location dealing damage and slowing
W summons a sand soldier, use it on turret to deal damage. sand soldiers auto attack anything you try to auto attack within their range
E moves you to a sand soldier. If you hit someone on the way, you knock them up and get a shield
R is a wall that spawns behind you and moves forwards, dealing damage and knocking people back. The wall blocks all non-blink movement options, but your teammates can walk through it.
-Kalista
Passive 1 lets her press a direction during auto attacking to hop a short distance that way, but she cannot cancel auto attacks
Passive 2 lets her join with a teammate to gain additional bonuses on her other skills
Q throws a spear and does damage. If it kills something, it'll go through it and pass any E stacks on to the next thing it hits.
W Passive applies a stack to whoever you auto attack/q, and if the person you joined with auto attacks it deals extra damage
W Active makes a ghost patrol an area, alerting you if someone enters its field of view
E is Twitch's passive/e but better. Applies stacks up to infinity, press it to slow and deal damage. Essentially better smite when fighting dragon/baron
R makes the person you joined with untargetable and calls them to you. They can then choose to dash out and knock up people
-Rek'Sai
Passive heals her while she's burrowed at the cost of Fury
Q makes her next three auto attacks hit in a circle around her and deal extra damage
Q while burrowed is a skillshot that reveals people it hits
W burrows or unburrows her. Unburrowing knocks up people you hit. While burrowed, your vision range is reduced dramatically, but circles pop up telling you where people are moving nearby
E does damage to a single target and does true damage when she's at full Fury
E while burrowed dashes you to a location and leaves behind a reusable tunnel system
R moves you to an existing tunnel system
-Bard
Passive 1 spawns chimes around the map, go pick them up to power up passive 2, get experience, mana, and temporary movement speed
Passive 2 spawns little things that enhance your auto attacks
Q slows and goes through the first target it hits and stuns if it hits either a wall or another person [who also gets stunned]
W places a health shrine in a location that gives a speed boost when picked up. if left alone for a bit it'll heal more
E is a tunnel you can place that goes in a straight line through any wall. Any champion in the game can go through, but allies move faster
R is a massive range forced Zhonya's Hourglass for anything hit by it, including turrets, champions, dragon, and baron
-Veigar "rework"
Q is a skillshot
E has a delay before activating it
-Kassadin neuter
Ult range reduced by 1000
-Sion update came out.
-Viktor got updated
-Deathfire Grasp removed, replaced with Luden's Echo, Statikk Shiv for AP characters
-Jungle changed again, machete builds into different items that change how your smite functions, including the ability to smite champions
-Various visual updates including a mass texture update to almost all the champions in the game as a temporary fix until visual updates can be completed
-Tristana E change coupled with her visual update she's also adorable now

-A new item Righteous Glory makes you go really really fast when running at enemy champions
-New elixirs to replace the old Red, Blue, and long gone Green ones
-Complete rework of Dragon and Baron, they give different buffs now.
Dragon stacks up to a max of 5 and gives different buffs each time
Baron gives you AP, AD, makes you back twice as fast, and makes minions you're near really good at pushing
-Inhibitor and Nexus turrets shoot lasers that slow, deal constant damage, and reduce the armor/mr and damage of anyone they're shooting.
-Side lane inner turrets give shields when you're next to them
-Every jungle monster now gives you a buff when you smite it.
Krugs[Golems] make your first auto attack and every fifth after that stun for a short time
Red heals you
Blue gives you mana
Gromp[Wight] makes you deal damage to things that hit you based on your health
Wolves[Wolves] summons a based wolfdog that alerts you when someone enters the jungle
Razorbeaks[Ghouls] makes it so you're alerted when spotted by a ward and gives you a temporary oracle's Elixir
-A new passive jungle monster lives in both rivers
Kill it for a free ward in front of dragon/baron and a speed boost when you walk over it
-Lissandra is played top, Nidalee is cancer, Morgana, Zyra, and Zilean are supports, and Rumble got a legendary skin you'd enjoy[see videos below]
