League of Legends v1.0.0.106

Notes from the Design Team (new!)
This patch is focused upon the following main issues:

* Area of Effect damage and disable spells being too powerful
o Area of Effect is taking a pretty large hit this patch, especially to the damage on Galio’s Idol of Durand, Morgana’s Soul Shackles and Vladimir’s Hemoplague. After seeing its effect on the game over a longer period of time, we’ve found something more akin to Annie’s Summon: Tibbers is a proper mix of area size, damage, and disable. We have several area-effect skills in the game that have power creeped past this and we’re looking to bring this back to acceptable levels.
o Twitch’s Spray and Pray is a big factor in this. We are considering bigger changes for that ability.
* Strong supports are able to protect powerful ranged carries too well, cancelling their fragility too easily
o We’re starting with a duration nerf to Morgana's Black Shield and Janna's Eye of the Storm to reward better timing of the spell reactively and to raise the skill ceiling a bit on these spells. If this proves too little, we’ll provide additional nerfs in the upcoming patch.
* Ranged carries, holistically, are too safe considering their damage output
o While we predict bigger changes will be required, our first adjustments are to lower the movement speeds of ranged carry-style champions to provide more of a tradeoff, and nerf Blessing of the Lizard Elder when used on ranged champions. We’d like to keep ranged carries “safer” than melee, but start to provide more tradeoffs to both give melee a place in the game and differentiate the roles of melee and ranged characters.


Trundle, The Cursed Troll

* Rabid Bite: Trundle bites his opponent, dealing damage and sapping some of their attack damage.
* Contaminate: Trundle infects a target location with his curse, gaining attack speed, movement speed, and crowd control reduction while on it.
* Pillar of Filth: Trundle creates a plagued beacon at a target location, which becomes impassable terrain and slows all nearby enemy units.
* Agony (Ultimate): Trundle immediately steals his target’s health and a percentage of their armor and magic resistance. Over the next six seconds the amount of health, armor, and magic resistance stolen is doubled.
* Decompose (Passive): Whenever an enemy unit near Trundle dies, he heals for a percentage of their maximum health.

Wow, a lot of ranged carries and AoE champions were hit hard by this patch. I'm glad though, because this further balances the game.

Looks like Pantheon is buffed from his nerf; prepare to see an uprising popularity in Pantheon as word spreads~

Well at least Phreak didn't lie, he talked about all of these patches in the latest 25 Minutes to Surrender Podcast a week ago.

- Galio got a much needed nerf, his ultimate did more damage than Annie with her Tibbers and 200 AP.
- Vladimir also got a good nerf, I hate those AoE teams.
- Glad they didn't slow Ashe's movement speed even more.
- A Warwick nerf is a bit of an annoyance.
- Good work on fixing Sona, most broken champion in the game.
- Morgana is slowly being dropped as well but still OP as hell.

- Basically melee is gonna be a lot stronger now. Time to play Xin Zhao.
- One last note, they nerfed all the ranged carry's base movement speed, but isn't that also a buff to Miss Fortune? Seems like her Strut will shine even more.

Miss Fortune mid with 3 Doran's Blades and max Impure Shots is a bit ridiculous. Double Up shouldn't be maxed first, when that combo makes you unstoppable 1v1 until around level 14.

i'm really liking the changes. as a mostly melee player myself..

MF is still crazy but I actually like that the metagame doesn't consist of HAVE CC OR DIE. They've changed the effect of CC on the game quite a bit (this is all speculation and opinion). I'll wait till they release Trundle till I try my ranged carries again. Also: Corki is back at 300 MS? :(
And Trundle is looking to be a sustained DPS Anivia. Sad that audacious charge and rocket jump don't do any damage anymore, though. Overall I enjoy the patch. Now to do something about Flash...

yo b-wong, it says they dont do damage if interrupted by another movement effect.

im w cuacheka, imma love this ****, no more being poked every ***********ing time i go to kill a creep and then having some ****** playing trist or something run away before i can kick their *** XD

OK I'm not gonna even type it in a short way WHAT THE ****????

Corki
* Phosphorous Bomb no longer reveals stealthed units
* Base movespeed reduced to 300

Srsly? What the **** are they doing? Is this realy the champion that needs nerfing in each patch?
Barely any1 plays him, i see total fails on him, and if som1 plays good he was medicore, yet still they nerf him?

Galio is getting nerfed to oblivion, imho they should leave the damage as it is, shorten the range on the ulti and ffs make it damage ONLY ppl taunted (so ppl going in after the trigger should not get that amount of damage (like it works on Amumu). We'll see another Jax champion from him soon.

Very appriciated nerf on the Eye on Janna.

Sona nerf is good. always. I would also want to see the green aura Ar/Mr buff on ppl that got healed rather than WHOLE TEAM. Seeing whole team end up with over 100 Ar/Mr just coz sona is near is just annoying...

OK where is mordekaiser nerf? I ask gently WTHERE THE **** IS MORDE NERF! :) *wink*

Nice. Garen will be impossible to play in ranked games now.

I must say that Janna is the only one that I have issue with. I do admit the high uptime on the bubble was a lil insane lol. Ha Ha Cant kill me. Hr bubble is more annoying than Pally bubble.

Im still a lil pissed however. I was expecting Eve to be in this patch... I need her to be live so I can finish my revamp.

I think that has the right range. I dont think he will be hit by the nerf
