[[Frostfang]], [[Frost Queen's Claim]] and [[Eye of the Watchers]] also received nerfs to their mana regen and buffs to their ability power. In addition, last-hitting a minion now disables the Tribute passive for [[Spellthief's Edge]] and [[Frostfang]] for 6 seconds instead of 12, but killing more minions additively increases the Tribute lockout rather than just refreshing it.[/td] [/tr] [/table] [url=http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/patch/patch-79-notes#patch-rift-herald-][size=6][color=#ffffff]Rift Herald Update[/color][/size][/url] [url=http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/patch/patch-79-notes#patch-rift-herald-][img=http://media.wwg.com/2017/04/675756756-207666.png][/url] Rift Herald has received some major gameplay changes as well as a visual update. Killing the Rift Herald now drops a consumable that lasts for several minutes and grants empowered recall to the holder. Consuming the item summons Rift Herald to push down the nearest lane. The Herald is especially strong at smashing down towers, but is still vulnerable to attacks from the rear when the eye on its back is open. There are a lot of numbers changes to go along with this update, so click the image above to read the full details.

[quote=Jovy]Inc every single ADC having a GA and every single APC having a Banshee's. I think Frostfang's quest reward is the best one. The skill point is cool but I only really want an extra skill point at level 2 3 or 6. New Sejuani skins are sooo nice! I love the Traditional one so much, might wanna start playing her again after 3 years. New skins are nice, I think Dark Star might be my fave skin.. line, but I don't play either champ so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]Love the layout of this news post! Saw the champion splash + QWER and icons and thought it'd look amazing in a guide ^^[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]Ingame [[essence reaver]] only costs 3400, so this was changed as well. Unnoted in patch notes.[/quote]

[quote=PsiGuard][quote=jhoijhoi]Love the layout of this news post! Saw the champion splash + QWER and icons and thought it'd look amazing in a guide ^^[/quote] Thanks Jai, that means a lot. <3 [quote=NicknameMy]Ingame [[Essence Reaver]] only costs 3400, so this was changed as well. Unnoted in patch notes.[/quote] Thanks Nickname. I also want to check [[Banshee's Veil]] since I was really confused how it could build out of [[Fiendish Codex]] but not give any CDR (according to the notes). Edit: Yep, it gives 10% CDR. Figures. Thanks for nothing Riot. >:([/quote]

[quote=OverPowear]Sejuani NON-STOP! 24/7 I'll literally pick it every single game for at least 3 months haha[/quote]

[quote=Latest Legend][[doran's shield]] on-hit damage only applies to minions. Already changed the database but you might want to change it in the summary as well. Thanks for the overview! By the way, for a few days, all Sejuani skins, including [[traditional sejuani]], are up for sale again. I'll probably pick traditional up just for the splash lol.[/quote]

[quote=PsiGuard][quote=Latest Legend][[doran's shield]] on-hit damage only applies to minions. Already changed the database but you might want to change it in the summary as well.[/quote] I remembered that being the case on the PBE but Riot's notes just said +5 on hit. Grrrrr.... Thanks for pointing it out, I'll fix the summary.[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]Isn't it funny that third parties always do a better job at noting things than Riot Games? (Compare Lolwiki to the League of Legends site) Also, yay for the buff for Bruiser'Gath thanks to [[Sterak's Gage]], demn base AD with [[trinity force]] and that huge shield. Plus [[Abyssal Scepter]] for the damage increase on every [[Vorpal Spikes]]. Even [[Dead Man's Plate]] buffed for him. Only thing nerfed is [[Titanic Hydra]] since you have less HP overall now, but hey, just ult some more and it is fine.[/quote]

[quote=RottedApples]you have 2 kircheis shard (or however the fuck you spell that thing) in the post. i'm assuming the second was supposed to be statikk shiv?[/quote]
