Preseason 2016 crests the horizon!

[quote=Jimmydoggga 2.0]Champion updates: Kogmaw gains an AS boost so large if he moves it fucks up his DPS, Graves has an actual shotgun, and Corki deals half AD and half magic damage on EVERYTHING. Including his passive which doesn't deal true damage anymore. Or in riot terms: Hi guys, so from now on Corkee weel deel half mages damage on evrything so u better get Zzrot portal to help with that haha[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]Corki already dealt mostly magic damage. That isnt even the dumb part. That's all good and fine. The suicide bomber pack is the dumb part. Further note on his passive, they said it now works with Trinity Force and shenn procs again or something? Luther or some other older ADC player refresh me as to how this used to work?[/quote]

[quote=Teemoshy]I'm ok with [[corki]] being "The Premier Magiks ADC" because he already was. I just wish that he didn't get some weird gimmicky thing on his W. Also, I really hope his E is changed more than what I'm thinking (hey guise, it dealz magic damage now and shreds mr).[/quote]

[quote=RottedApples]the quinn changes piss me off just by reading them. also i hope ap mf doesn't die with these changes.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm][quote=RottedApples]the quinn changes piss me off just by reading them. [/quote] The quinn changes were the best way to preserve her current playstyle while removing the clunky bit where you play as Valor, I suppose. I still wish they would just give them a rework. Or stop having the audacity to act like their some [[kindred]] spirits when Valor is merely a tool to Quinn. :[[/quote]

[quote=DillButt64]you guys are complaining about the corki changes without actually seeing them in game i actually like the valor ult, giving her a ton of mobility whenever she wants is great, and taking her blind away for an execute is pretty cool too there are more changes in this link http://www.surrenderat20.net/2015/10/preseason-2016-crests-horizon.html#more about the adcs (except graves but his is pretty much AA's are a mini Q) like kogmaw getting a 5.0 AS cap and caitlyn having a double range headshot on the person in her trap[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]If how they function in game is pretty much what the text about them reads, then why can't we make an opinion on Riot's intentions, especially if they're openly stating them? They literally said they want Corki to suicide rush people. To most people, that's dumb as hell, considering Corki is a poke/siege oriented champion.[/quote]

[quote=RottedApples]valor is even more of a tool now, and effectively removing the ult sucks early game, in skirmishes, and if you are top quinn. I just hope that what is going on elsewhere is enough of a compensation to deal with this.[/quote]

To most people, that's dumb as hell, considering Corki is a poke/siege oriented champion.[/quote] they also said they want corki to have more risk involved than be a safe poke champion and no you cant make assumptions because you havnt seen it in game and dont know how it will work in game, youre just assuming you use it to rush into the enemy team and oh well now youre dead without seeing it which is dumb you also said you agree with the graves changes without seeing anything, for all you know his AA's do reduced damage unless you hit with 2-3 of them[/quote]

[quote=Teemoshy][spoiler=Changes to other marksman]Hi all, By now, you probably know we're giving small gameplay updates to Quinn, Kog'Maw, Miss Fortune, Corki, Graves, and Caitlyn. That said, we're also doing small changes to quite a few other marksmen that aim to establish/sharpen their identities. For these characters, please do leave your PBE feedback here. There's a lot of marksmen change going on here, and we're interested in your thoughts, so if you have an opinion, don't hesitate to voice it! Changes: Ashe Change Goals Allow Ashe to interact with chance-based crit events in a way that doesn't compromise her recently-new passive's steady damage output. Follow up the changes made to Ranger's Focus (Q) earlier this year to make the spell a more interesting, engaging part of her pattern. P - Frost Shot Base slow reduced 5/11/17/23/29/35% >>> 5/9/13/17/21/25% Dealing bonus damage via Frost Shot no longer counts as a Critical Strike (bonus damage unchanged) Ashe’s Critical Strikes (which once again happen only by chance per all other characters) deal only 1.0 Total AD (as opposed to 2.0 standard), but they apply Frost Shot’s slow at double effectiveness (10/18/26/34/42/50%), decaying to the base amount over the duration of the slow Q - Ranger's Focus Slow amplification removed Can no longer be cast at less than 5 stacks, and passive Focus no longer stacks while the active component is running Passive no longer stacks with Volley and Enchanted Crystal Arrow Cooldown removed Draven Change Goals Make axe-catching gameplay flow smoother, especially later in the game. Base Stats Attack frame improved by 30% Attack Speed per level reduced to 1.5 from 2.7 Basic attack missile speed reduced to 1600 from 1700 Ezreal Change Goals Build upon Ezreal's affinity for CDR-centric spellcasting item builds. Q - Mystic Shot Cooldown reducing effect increased 1.0 >>> 1.5 seconds Cooldown increased 6.0/5.5/5.0/4.5/4.0 >>> 6.5/6.0/5.5/5.0/4.5 E - Arcane Shift Cooldown increased at later ranks 19/17/15/13/11 >>> 19.0/17.5/16.0/14.5/13.0 Jinx Change Goals Playing up what it means to Get Excited! as a path to success through a teamfight. Slowing down Rockets' Attack Speed so there's some tradeoff she incurs more of a tradeoff with that weapon. P - Get Excited! Can now chain together and stack, increasing Total Attack Speed by 15% per stack (Movement Speed portion does not stack) Duration increased 4 >>> 6 Q - Switcheroo! Jinx now has -15% Total Attack Speed while using Fishbones, the Rocket Launcher Kalista Change Goals Increasing Kalista's affinity for Attack Speed. Experimental dash scaling changes that help attack flow and reduce overall power from jumping. Base Stats Base AS increased 0.658 -> 0.694 AS per level reduced 3.3% -> 2.8% P - Martial Poise Jump distance scales with boot tier (as live), jump speed now only scales with AS/Slows (is slower early game but scales up). Lucian Change Goals Open up non Attack Speed based item builds, and make The Culling's damage output feel more consistently meaningful throughout the game. R - The Culling No longer scales with Attack Speed Now fires 20/25/30 bullets based on rank Sivir Change Goals Increasing Sivir’s affinity for CDR, bringing us back closer to the late game dream of “Ricochet all the time”. Base Stats Base Attack Speed reduced 0.66 >>> 0.625 W - Ricochet Cooldown now begins on spell cast rather than when the attack buff expires Cooldown increased 9/8/7/6/5 seconds >>> 12/10.5/9/7.5/6 Attack buff duration reduced 6 >>> 4 Tristana Change Goals Begin to shift Trist away from late game clean-up hyper carry to more of an all-in AD caster. Empower mid game all-in strength while stripping some power from late game sustained dps. Clean up of minor cooldown returning mechanics in favor of more impactful Rocket Jump resets. Q - Rapid Fire No longer reduces [E] CD on hit while active Attacking [E] Target no longer reduces [Q] CD on hit. CD 20s -> 20 / 19 / 18 / 17 / 16s W - Rocket Jump Dmg Rescaled 80 / 105 / 130 / 155 / 180 -> 60 / 110 / 160 / 210 / 260 No longer deals increased damage per [E] stack Now also resets on Max stack [E] Detonation on Champions E - Explosive Charge Now detonates instantly on 4th stack (max stacks). Bomb Animation shifted to represent this. Tristana’s abilities also add [E] stacks. Missile Speed 1800 -> 2400 Twitch Change Goals Pushing Twitch a bit farther in the direction of the “marksman assassin” by adding an out to his assassination attempts via Ambush reset. Q - Ambush Added: Cooldown resets when an enemy champion affected by Deadly Venom dies Quality of Life Buff: Entering stealth now cancels Twitch's current auto attack order R - Rat-Ta-Tat-Tat Buff Duration reduced 7 >>> 5 Quality of Life Buff: casting Rat-Ta-Tat-Tat during Q's stealth no longer cancels stealth Cost 100/125/150 >>> 100 all ranks Urgot Change Goals Restore Urgot R's defensive steroid function later in the game so that he doesn't get wrecked so hard by all the percent penetration floating around out there. R - Hyper-Kinetic Position Reverser No longer adds 60/90/120 Armor/MR Now adds 30/40/50% Damage Reduction Varus Change Goals Make R zoning more obvious and powerful. Shift R damage from initial hit to Blight procs. R - Chain of Corruption Now displays max Spread Range to Varus and Enemies if it is spreading to at least one enemy champion. Rooted targets gain 3 stacks of [W] Blight over the duration of the root. Damage 150 / 250 / 350 -> 100 / 175 / 250 Vayne Change Goals Silver Bolts is about expected time to kill on all targets (not squishy bursting), and Vayne's path to success needs to come through Silver Bolts. Base Stats AD/lvl reduced 2.66 >>> 1.66 W - Silver Bolts Flat Damage removed Percent Health Damage increased 4/5/6/7/8% >>> 6/7.5/9/10.5/12% Minimum damage introduced at 40/60/80/100/120 flat damage -RiotRepertoir[/spoiler] So many things. I don't know how to feel about Trist. Seems pretty cool in terms of hopping around all the f*ing time but yeah. I guess the tradeoff isn't awful, we'll have to watch mana consumption way more though. With all of these changes I hope we get the item changes soon so we can fully see what we're getting. EDIT: [[corki]]'s E does what I thought it would. I guess it makes a bit more sense shredding both resistances.[/quote]
