[quote=WOMBO]Well, it's going to make swapping with Jayce feel a lot less laggy now. I don't play Garen or Katarina though, does anyone have an idea on how big the buffs are?[/quote]

[quote=Zeprido]I feel like Garen and Katarina were both nerfed early game (lane phase) and buffed late game. I'm still iffy on the slow cleanse for Garen being on his Q since he uses it to initiate/enter battle. In order for Katarina to even equal pre remake Katarina for bouncing blade one would have to consume the mark which gets to be rather predictable since the only ways to do that are to shunpo on them, or hit them with sinister steel both which require her to be in melee range enabling easy counterplay. Any champions that counter her before counter her harder now until she gets some items.[/quote]

[quote=GrandmasterD]Shame, was looking forward to Rengar. Garen seems interesting, though needed a model update as well :P. Less comicy, more darius-like![/quote]

[quote=MrCuddowls]TEEMO GOT BUFFED OMG[/quote]

[quote=TrashDominator]I'm glad garen will be more usefull now. He was good before but he wasnt balanced[/quote]

[quote=Ninja Trigger]Yes for new Garen, I hope this is what it takes to get him into more ranked games.[/quote]

[quote=korny85q8]Any ideas when will we be able to play with Rengar !?[/quote]
