RAGE Thread

[Ashe]

Yeah. I swear I heard in one of the interviews or threads about sustain that her spear was getting a damage buff. As it is, I think they made good adjustments to keep her from getting overpowered. Normalized survivability on her Cougar form is definitely nice. The cost on her heal just got insane. Ratio or not, she now has to have blue or build up a mana pool. She had mana issues before this. Glacial Shroud might be a pretty core item on her now.

I was surprised at the nerf to Alistar. I thought his ult was in a pretty good place. It will be interesting to see what happens. He can't build just gp5 and be as tanky anymore.

@Taric AS buff. Don't look at that number like it means anything to you. It doesn't. Just play Taric. See how it goes. If you look at the patch preview video, Taric is attacking pretty quickly with no AS gear.

Also surprised about the Xin Zhao nerf. Another one that I just wasn't expecting.

I'm really interested to see how people pick up the new Soraka. I seriously think mid-AP-Soraka can be a very powerful thing.

Mana issues - agree 100%

Dodge from cougar - I don't like it. It appears to be, along with the Pounce cd change, to be an attempt to reduce her mobility and ability to escape (through making Nimbleness tougher to achieve)

Spear - Yeah, I thought I heard that as well.

Honestly, bottom line is that she's now going to require blue at any opportunity, as if she already didn't (she did, practically).

Taric attack speed - From what I've read, people said that in that video he also had a Katana. I haven't verified, but no one wants to watch Taric derp a Jarvan IV down.
