The RIOT Act

Sounds dumb. I like(d) fortify. Plus, nerfing flash isn't going to make people suddenly more aggressive. If anything, it's going to force people to play smart (ie, less blindingly aggressive)

But I do like the 'Surge' summoner spell.

edit: lol @ CV nerfs

[Rafael]

bah. Fortify was awesome. Also, kinda strange to me they didn't just name surge "Rally"

[Ashe]

Unsure how I feel about Cleanse being buffed back to removing some of what it is removing. I'll need to see more about it.

[John Doe]

I like everything about that. Fort and Rally were dumb, Flash and CV are dumb, Cleanse to counter the dumb Exhaust and Ignite spam (but this one is the one I'm most iffy about), and Heal was always meh.

Not that I play this game anyway.

[Rafael]

yeah...ignite and exhaust getting removed is pretty bad

[Tyr]

Cleanse was downright useless without the ability to counter other summoner spells. I believe the meta may shift from a more ranged carry aspect to a melee one with this change, as you can just go "HURR" on their Exhaust and still beat their face in.

Also, dying because the other guy had Exhaust is the WORST FEELING IN THE GAME. Honestly. I'd rather get stunlocked to death than just watch my attacks bounce off like they turned into rubber. Oh, it also makes it easier to kill me as well as make me equal to a grandma? FUCK YOU D:


tl;dr fuck exhaust

[Piper Juunanagou]

You say that Cleanse being awesome is a good thing.

We'll see what you say when you start seeing every Tryndamere with Cleanse and Ghost laughing in your face when you try to stun-lock/ignite/exhaust/slow/dofuckinganythingtostophisdumbbullshit him. So dumb.

[Sigfried Hunin]

Yeah, Cleanse is pretty useless as it stands. The only real thing it saves you from right now is Chain CC, but then it only does it once and you're probably just gonna die anyways. I've literally NEVER played a game where somebody took Cleanse. I think we'll see it a tad more now.

Also: Heal might also go into my Tank bag again.

[Ashe]

I agree that its in a bad place currently, but I'm not sure the changes made are what I think it needed. I remember 5 Cleanse Tanky DPS teams, and that shit wasn't fun.

[Jonathan Meer]

Cleanse is way cooler when it's on a shorter cooldown, heals you, and tastes like citrus.

I'm interested in this Heal buff. I really want to see numbers.

EDIT: We'll probably have to make new rules for ARAM regarding Heal, if the buff is anything resembling significant.

[Kaden]

A decent carry can carry an entire team if they are at least decent at what they are doing and not feeding the enemy team.

I'll play carry for you some day, Tyr.

I like pretty much all of this. Promoting only cannon minions is a simple and effective solution to the previous problem it had. Removing Fort is meh; it wasn't the worst summoner spell, but pretty much every time I see it on my team I think there's a better option for the person who has it. Heal buff is interesting, though I doubt it will make the spell "viable" unless is heals a percentage of health instead of a flat amount.

"Surge" is a great replacement for the worthlessness that is Rally. Taric/Sivir/Sona + Surge will be badass. Hopefully the aura will have a "unique" effect so a team can't simply roll 5 Surge comps. That would be dumb.

The Cleanse change is intriguing. I think I like it on paper. Gives the spell a huge tactical element on both sides of a given exchange. Baiting the Cleanse with a CC so you can Exhaust, or vice-versa, is pretty interesting. As long as it only removes those two summoner spells (Ignite and Exhaust), in addition to its current effects, I think it will be fine. I think it will promote higher combat awareness, which is something that I think most people need to work on.

Poor Flash. I'm not sure what numbers I would say it needs before it stops being worth the summoner spell. I understand the CD increase, but I don't really like the range decrease. It's a pretty small range as it is and hard to use offensively. That's probably my favorite use of Flash: on the offense.

We'll see what you say when you start seeing every Tryndamere with Cleanse and Ghost laughing in your face when you try to stun-lock/ignite/exhaust/slow/dofuckinganythingtostophisdumbbullshit him. So dumb.

Some of use have already played through that period of the game. Wasn't actually as bad as it sounds.

I think it's interesting that no one seems to care about the ability to remove Ignite...

[Rafael]

meh. aside from mundo I can't say I ever worry too much about ignite after like, level 6.

90% of the time I die with that on me it didn't make the difference.

[Ashe]

Its the healing debuff that matters, not the dot.

[Rafael]

hence the mundo comment. Other than Fiddle, I don't play anyone who heals much

[Mr. Zhu]

I RAAAAAAAGE!!! Wins mid lane successfully ganks top and bot lane at least a total of 5+ times, takes dragon for team 3 times. Still lose.

[Josh]

I'll play carry for you some day, Tyr.

=D

Don't listen to him Tyr, I support this fuksuk nub all the time and he can't CS for sheeeeeeet. If you support him, take all of his creeps!

[Kaden]

15/5/2 on Garen.

15/5/2, guys! How do we even lose that?

D=

[Mal Nova]

<_<

Yeah.... i got nothing... if you lost to him... the answer is... He's Garen and you didnt have Madreds...

If you lost with him.... Then.. they realized you had to much health and focused the rest of your team =D

[Kaden]

That was me. I was the Garen.

[Super Buu]

Got to something like 40 minutes, we were somehow winning 4v5, both me (Shyvana) and Annie were fed as fuck and fully-built. All their towers down. After a long while, the win was just about in grasp. And then ...

WINDOWS UPDATE =D

Of course the game was over when I got back.
