Hey, any idea when Luden's Echo will be added to the item list of the 'Build' section of the guide? I see that it's in the general database now but at the moment I can't find it in the item list to update my core build for the cheat sheet.
I can't take back the words I never said

Nautilus, isn't it more a "mixed" than a "buff"?For
Titan's Wrath I think I would call it a mixed change or perhaps a power shift.Shield strength - base shield strength goes down but % of health ratio on the damage goes up.
Shield damage over time - stays the same (both base damage and ratio)
So it will be easier to break his shield early game, but tank wise it will scale better for mid and late game. It is going to be less effective to start with in terms of clearing, because the shield will be easier to break unless you pack a lot of health into your build via runes (a hard sell since MS quints are practically a necessity on Naut). However this will be offset to some extent by the lowering of the damage from the neutral monster camps.
Riptide - made it spammable.I'm happy with this change as Riptide was IMO Naut's most underwhelming ability in that the missile velocity was slow enough that anyone with boots could simply walk out of it without effect unless you set it off right next to them and it was hell on your mana pool. Now you can use it earlier and more often thanks to the lowering of the cooldown and mana costs.
;tldr - early clearing power shifted to Riptide. Shield strength buffed for mid and late game. Naut should be better at the things he does best, ganking and tanking, and get to the ganking part faster.

Hello and welcome to the MOBAFire Patch Summary - 5.5!
It's been two weeks since Riot last released a patch, three months since they last decided to add a champion to League of Legends and ten months since a new champion they added was a support. Unfortunately, only one of those three facts will change tonight, as Riot have presented a new set of changes to be implemented in the game which does not yet include the introduction of
Now, if you're not a fan of summaries and would rather read about every single detail instead, that intro should be enough to set you on your way; the full patch notes can be found here. If you are, however, stick with us! In this post, we will talk about some of the most significant buffs and nerfs to the 123 current champions in the game, new items, new skins and anything else we can think of. Let's go!
Buffs! Nerfs! Balance!

EDIT: Bard is released! - Looks a bit weird to feature
Anyway, on to some other champions then. As you can see in the table above, Riot is spreading the love in this patch, with a lot of (less popular) champions receiving some buffs / quality of life changes. Although there are too many to highlight them all, some of the more interesting ones include a power shift from
However, amongst the love are a couple of nerfs to strong champions that simply needed to be addressed. Because of this,
New Items! Replaced Items! Madness!
Mid lane mains rejoice: the replacement of
That's not all that is new though, as "Bami's Cinder" (middle) will be introduced as a new jungle item mainly designed for tank junglers. This item will build from a

Of course, a champion release wouldn't be the same without a release skin, which is why it should come as no surprise to anyone that this patch includes a fresh

Praise! Criticism! Discussion!
There are still a significant set of changes we didn't get to discuss within this post (most notably some global changes to turrets and jungle monsters), but for now we're wrapping this post up. Refer to the full patch notes (link in the introduction) if you wish to find out more about that.
With that said, we're putting the spotlight on you guys. Are you sad about having to wait for
