Release Notes v1.0.0.111

[quote=SixSonatas][B][U]New Skins in the Store[/U][/B] [LIST] [*]Totemic Maokai [*]Charred Maokai [*]Longhorn Alistar [/LIST] [B][U]PVP.net v1.29.23[/U][/B] [LIST] [*]Created a new UI flow for joining games of all types [*]Updated the Friend List UI [*]Runes are now stacked in the Summoner profile [*]A new game mode approaches: Co-op vs. AI![LIST] [*]This mode pits a team of all human players against a team of all AI bots on Summoner's Rift. [*]This mode is supported by matchmaking, and allows summoners to join the queue solo or with friends. [*]Summoners may choose between two AI bot difficulty settings: Beginner or Intermediate. [*]IP and XP rewards are earned, and adjusted based on summoner level and difficulty setting. [*]The following bots are enabled for Co-op vs. AI:[LIST] [*] Annie [*] Ashe [*] Cho'Gath [*] Miss Fortune [*] Nunu [*] Renekton [*] Ryze [*] Shen [*] Soraka [*] Taric [*] Trundle [*] Warwick [/LIST] [*]Coop versus AI will be available to play in the coming days after the patch goes live, but not on release day.[/LIST][/LIST] [B]XP & IP Rate Changes[/B] [LIST] [*]We have completely overhauled the IP and XP system in order to make it more fair. Our intention was to leave the overall XP and IP gained by players unchanged. [*]Previously, IP and XP were awarded for winning or losing a game. Now, they are granted based on how long the game was, and whether you won or lost. [*]In a long game, you will make significantly more XP and IP than before. However, in a very short game, you will make less IP and XP. We found it frustrating to be stuck in an hour long games, and then get what was effectively 30 minutes of IP reward. [*]When calculating the number of minutes the game took, we only award for actual game time. However, we give all games a small fixed bonus reward, which is to give you credit for time in queue and champion selection. [*]Other details:[LIST] [*]We have also tweaked the formulas so that new players get larger quantities of IP in their first 10 or so levels so that they can unlock their first Champions more quickly. [*]First Win of the Day remains unchanged – it is still a flat bonus you will receive when you are eligible. [*]We removed the no-leave-streak bonus and increased the IP rewards in general to compensate. The reason we did this is because we felt that with the new LeaverBuster system, this was no longer necessary.[/LIST] [/LIST] [B][U]League of Legends v1.0.0.111[/U][/B] [B]Maokai, the Twisted Treant[/B] [LIST] [*]Sap Magic (passive): Each time a champion near Maokai casts a spell, he gains a charge of Magical Sap. When he has 5 charges, Maokai's next melee attack drains energy from his target, healing him for a percentage of his maximum HP. [*]Arcane Smash: Maokai slams the ground, the force of which knocks nearby enemies back and sends an arcane shockwave forward, damaging and slowing his enemies. [*]Twisted Advance: Maokai dissolves into a cloud of arcane energies. He regrows near a target enemy, dealing damage and rooting it in place. [*]Sapling Toss: Maokai hurls a sapling, dealing damage on impact. The sapling becomes implanted in the ground, warding a nearby area. When enemies approach, the sapling attacks, exploding in an arcane blast that damages enemies. [*]Vengeful Maelstrom (ultimate): Maokai shields his allies by drawing power from hostile spells and attacks, reducing non-tower damage done to allied champions in the area. Maokai can prolong the effect as long as he has mana to spend on it. When the effect ends, Maokai unleashes the absorbed energy to deal damage to enemies within the vortex.

[quote=Freki][quote] Runes are now stacked in the Summoner profile [/quote] Good move ! Next one have masteries predefined with a rune page ! Otherwise nothing that exciting regards to the game balance. Good little patch :) Oh yes, I like the new item ![/quote]

[quote=caucheka]i love the shield ui thing. so helpful.[/quote]

[quote=Dirty Goolash][quote=SixSonatas] [*]Smite now deals true damage instead of magic damage [/quote] Well it just got a lot easier for me to smite at the right time.[/quote]

[quote=Trojan995][quote]Soul Shroud cooldown aura reduced to 10% from 15% New Item: Morello's Evil Tome Builds out of Fiendish Codex and Blasting Wand (Total Cost of 2350) +75 ability power +12 mana regeneration per 5 UNIQUE passive: 15% cooldown reduction[/quote] Why? D: if Soul Shroud wasn't barely decent as it is, I doubt I'll buy it at all anymore. Ugh, what kind of useless tank/off-tank buys soul shroud?[/quote]

[quote=SixSonatas][quote=Trojan995]Why? D: if Soul Shroud wasn't barely decent as it is, I doubt I'll buy it at all anymore. Ugh, what kind of useless tank/off-tank buys soul shroud? [/quote] The thing was it provided 15% CDR to nearby allies, meaning a (bulky) support could get it for their own sake and also free up 15% CDR slot from allies. They made a statement that CDR was too easy to get, and with Soul Shroud, it made it even easier for teams to max out CDR without really buying much CDR items. Personally I think Soul Shroud is underrated, and it helps out the team a lot. It's relatively cheap for supports to get it, since they usually don't require too many items to support - in DotA, support characters were known to be ward whores, once they get like 2 or 3 items, they'll start only buying wards.[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]I love the Amumu buffs. I don't really like the Smite change, but oh well. It means less damage early on against the camps but more damage against Baron. Morello's Evil Tome sounds like a really kick-ass item. Seems like the next staple for characters. The Ryze change is interesting. He seems a lot more like a "pew-pew" champ with Overload spam. I don't really like the change to his ultimate - but consider now that your cooldowns are going to be insanely low from your passive+Overload. A little ticked off at the CDR reductions, especially on Randuin's, but it was probably a necessary change. Surrender time decrease doesn't really affect me. I like the new bot game, and I like the new IP system, since I typically have long games. I LOVE Maokai. Definitely going to buy him. Overall, I think this patch was pretty well-done.[/quote]

[quote=Diesel]I don't know what to think with Ryze. Will have to play some games with him to figure his new self out.[/quote]

[quote=B-Wong]Lovin the surrender time changes. Other than that I think the patch was retarded :D[/quote]

[quote=Adonikam]@BWrong: I think I love everything on this patch. Thanks Riot, owe you one![/quote]
