Coming back all the way from season 2 - what's...

[quote=Shuru]Hello, I'm trying to get back into the game, and I've noticed a lot has changed with the jungle, and items and such. I used to main jungle, top, and ADC, though I loved to mid once and a while, I've noticed that runes have almost completely changed, and that the jungles changed a lot too, what should I keep in mind going into my first game in nearly a year and a half?[/quote]

[quote=LevasK]Well, you should keep in mind that jungle camps will mess you up and each gives a different buff, if you use [[Smite]] on it. Also, there's a crab-ish creature in the river that will give you 80 gold as a jungler and provide vision for a short duration + a speed up for you and your allies that's pretty important for [[Dragon]]/[[Baron]] control. [spoiler= Dragon changes] Unlike in the previous seasons, [[Dragon]] no longer gives your team gold, only to the person who killed it, but it now provides a team-wide buffs based on how many dragons your team has slain: [list] 1) +6% attack damage and ability power 2) +15% damage to towers and buildings 3) +5% movement speed 4) +15% damage to minions and monsters 5) Doubles all previous bonuses and your attacks burn for 150 true damage over 5 seconds. This stack only lasts 180 seconds.[/list] [/spoiler][/quote]

[quote=Electro522]EVERYTHING has changed. I suggest you dig up the patch notes to 4.21 and 4.22. Also, read up on patch 5.1 and 5.2. Those should give you a decent picture of how jungle is now. To summarize, Dragon no longer gives global gold, instead it gives a stacking buff for every time you kill the dragon, maxing at 5 stacks. Baron gives a completely different kind of buff that also buffs nearby minions. Jungle items are completely different, and come with enchantments like boots. ADC items have changed slightly. Support items have changed ALOT. Top lane is being dominated by AP top laners (to an extent). Mid lane is being dominated by assassins. Speaking of, DFG was just recently removed. There is a TON of other changes out there, I highly suggest going back on patch notes and reading them.[/quote]

[quote=Shuru]After massive hesitation, I went into normals today. 1 and 3, but at least I won one.[/quote]

[quote=Vaan99]You should start by reading preseason patch notes and all newer ones, after that just play some games.[/quote]

[quote=utopus]Clg is actually doing well in the lcs[/quote]

[quote=utopus]Also, koreans from the future built a time machine and sent back one of their gold 3 players to participate in worlds. His name is Faker [embed=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8vGaC4OZIs][/quote]

[quote=FantasySniper]It'd probably just be better for you relearn everything from scratch :/ There have been tons of champs and build changes, both big and small, then there's the whole map rework... Just to warn you: The jungle is painful now, but actually sort of better. Most burst mages got nerfed with the removal of [[Deathfire Grasp]]. Support itemization is infinitely better, and they're working on better build paths for everyone. Oh, and don't believe what people say about some champs getting gutted. [[Sona]], [[Akali]], [[Cassiopeia]], and [[Ahri]] are huge threats.[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]I don't think anyone has really said [[Ahri]] got gutted. She has the highest winrate in the game atm. In the case of [[Sona]], there's just no reason to play her because other champions just do the same stuff as her, but better.[/quote]

[quote=Vynertje][quote=The_Nameless_Bard]I don't think anyone has really said [[Ahri]] got gutted.[/quote] About 90% of the people on the forums here said so. Lol.[/quote]
