Xin got hit with the nerf bat pretty hard. So did all stealthers :\
I was hoping they'd restore Cleanse to its former glory :(
Heimer got smacked, too
That's all I really care about ^^;

YEAHHHHH Xin NErf Heimer Nerf Shaco Nerf WINRAR
Gonna troll so hard with the new champ, I call making first buildddddddddddddddddddd
*points to avatar*

Love updates!

haha sucks to get the nerfhammer, dont it xin?

Edit: i'm also glad that they nerfed vlad b4 release, sanguine pool used to heal allies.

Xin nerfs were expectable in the way they are done now. I dont like the AS nerf since he was slow already and needed at least 2 AS items to do some serious stuff, pitty. Good they did what i said they will do, with the slow per lvl of charge. That is a very good change. Also ceresent nerf is decent, we will see that ingame, maybe ppl will start banning champs that are real threat and learn to play against Xin instead of banning him.

oh oh and FU Heimer! :)

Xin nerfs were not that bad.. His AS is a good hit, but I think all of them were needed.
Heimer Nerfs, Hell YES!
Shaco Nerfs, finally.
A Few small balancing issues with other toons.
Overall a VERY good patch.
Cant wait to play Vlad.

Apart from the Kat nerf and the Kog buffs I think it's a pretty well structured patch. However, giving Kog even more stupidly huge range wasn't really necessary...

And did the hammer hit Heimer hard. Those were some tough nerfs he got specially that AP ratio... Damn!

Oh and they didn't fix the bug with dragon and poppy... Just tried it yesterday and it still worked. I was amazed :P

44 minutes til vlad tiem

Patch is being pushed out now, you can update your client :) I think it's safe for me to post the new champ heheh... Vladimir is up! His data is still incomplete, I'll update the rest soon.

Feel free to discuss him here or in the announcement thread!
