Patch 5.1 Summary

[quote=HiFromBuddha]Mmmhm. The one instance of [[Kalista]] in competitive so far (SKT vs NJE I believe) was lackluster. Let's have hope... Or not because that passive is a pain in the ass and I don't want to see more of her.[/quote]

[quote=MungoGeri]The ability to swap jungle items for free opens up some interesting possibilities. For example, I can imagine buying [[ranger's trailblazer]] on first back for some extra sustain in the early jungle. Then, when I'm at the point where I can finish off my Devourer enchantment, then I can swap to a [[stalker's blade]] first and get ready for the mid game -- all without wasting any money.[/quote]

[quote=GrandmasterD]Alright, so rip [[Corki]] and [[Syndra]]. Hello, [[Kalista]]. Other than these changes, I'm pretty excited about the other ones; the buffs to [[Evelynn]] and [[Elise]] might cause us to have a larger, viable, jungler pool. Also, I really am liking that [[Renekton]] change, or well, the idea behind it. Personally I ended up buying BT next to my Hydra for late-game in order to actually live through fights. The [[smite]] change, however, is utterly stupid imo; just more complexity for no reason whilst taking away some of the strategic depth; the spell is getting more and more ridiculous every day; at least the chilling smite got nerfed, somewhat, I guess. The portal looks really neat, actually. It has GA stats for a GA price and the active/passive might actually turn out to be really great; perhaps we'll get split-pushers like [[Shen]] back into the game. Okay, we won't, but it's a nice thought. I think the item will see play, unless the void stuff ends up being terrible; just looking good on paper. The gate bases are something I'm fairly excited about, no doubt also done considering [[Rek'Sai]] could create her own. At least it'll give defending teams a bit more options, which is neat. ... Oh, and IE contains 20% less ebola now, which is nice.[/quote]

[quote=FalseoGod]IE nerfs might also influence the ADC pool? I get the BFSword item paths all offer the same AD, but BT's stats seem more appealing for graves since they enhance his early game strengths. On the other hand, graves, corki and luc weren't top tier because of IE itself, whereas Caitlyn benefitted from it so they might not really change, or might've gotten stronger. What do the ADC mainers have to say about this?[/quote]

[quote=Vapora Dark][quote=Latest Legend]I don't know about that, they could've also just increased the size of the animation. Everyone knew the size anyway. I'd rather have seen the cooldown increased instead of the size decreased.[/quote] No I didn't. I dodge what I see. It frustrates me when I dodge it and try to auto-attack only to get knocked up mid-animation anyway.[/quote]

[quote=Vengenator]I'm looking forward to building [[zz'rot portal]] on [[malzahar]]. VOIDLINGS FOR ERRYONE!!![/quote]

[quote=Vapora Dark][quote]Also, Infinity Edge has had its crit chance reduced to increase its reliance on other crit multipliers, with Phantom Dancer being the most likely source of this for AD Carries following its 5% increase of critical strike chance.[/quote] But Talon doesn't build Phantom Dancer... ;-;[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]I only mentioned the AD Carries, everyone else is screwed :P Also @Vengenator, I hope for your sake that [[Zz'Rot Portal]]'s voidspawns don't grant as much as gold when killed as they did in the PBE videos I saw (25). That'd make the item seriously terrible.[/quote]
