Wait, isn't that Nasus? Anyways, welcome to Patch 7.2! We have been waiting for it, and it's finally time! [[Warwick]], the Uncaged Wrath of Zaun will be updated! He does a bunch of stuff, you should go check it out! He seems to be a jungler, just like the fat man on campus, [[Gragas]]! Gragas has gained some power with more healing on his passive and some more base armor! Go get'em! We also had some changes to some of our [i]favorite[/i] top laners! [[Darius]] and [[Yasuo]] have been nerfed this patch! Darius has lost damage on both his passive and the handle portion of his [[Decimate]], and maybe a 1-12-3 Darius won’t 2v1 anymore! In the same vein, Yasuo has lost loads of base damage on his [[Sweeping Blade]], though Riot added a bonus attack damage ratio. How that pans out, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Some classic mid laners were also touched up this patch. [[Akali]], who has been weak for quite a number of patch cycles had her [[Shadow Dance]] AP ratio buffed, hopefully allowing her to finish off her opponent before she dies 1v4. Katarina, who was updated this preseason has lost damage on her [[Shunpo]]. Unfortunately, the damage was shaved off of the total attack damage ratio, and it is quite possible that nothing will change. Time will be the judge of this. We heard a Woof Woof, but now we hear a MEOWWWWW. [[Nidalee]] got some changes. Her traps are now invisible! However, Riot has imposed duties on these imported traps and Nidalee can only have so many out at once. To help counteract this playful pussycat, [[Master Yi]] has been tuned up! He has gotten several new tweaks, such as his [[Double Strike]] never wasting the second hit anymore! His [[Meditate]] has been changed for the better. Using it during [[Wuju Style]] and [[Highlander]] now pauses the duration of the buffs! He also gets a stack of Double Strike for every second he channels, so now he's actually meditating! [/td][/tr][/table] [size=6][color=#ffffff]Item Changes[/color][/size] In addition to individual item tuning, Lethality as a whole has been buffed. Rather than scaling from 40% of the listed value to 100% at level 18, it now starts at 60% at level one. This means that 10 lethality now gives 6 armor pen against lvl 1 targets, rather than 4 armor pen.

[*] Later this patch we’ll be introducing the “NEWS” tab to the updated client. [*] The stat icons on rune pages have been replaced with text for improved clarity. [*] Later in the patch, we're aiming to fix a bug that highlights club messages as unread, even when you've read them. [*] Instructions have been added for how to fill (i.e., Shift+click) runes to speed up rune page building. [*] Improvements have been made that should allow streamers to use the windowed capture mode in popular streaming software. [*] We've added the ability to manually toggle the video quality for recording Highlights from your Replays. Before you start a video recording, you can alter video and audio quality, vertical resolution and frame rate via the Video tab in the Options menu. [/list] [*] [size=4]Bugfixes[/size] [list] [*] [[Lucian]]'s [[Ardent Blaze]] no longer fails to hit enemies in brush or Fog of War. [*] [[Ahri]] no longer occasionally extends the attack range of the first basic attack of targets hit by [[Charm]] after the charm effect wore off. Oops. [*] Fixed a bug where [[Anivia]]'s empowered [[Glacial Storm]] indicator was visible through Fog of War. [*] [[Syndra]]'s [[Dark Sphere]]s are no longer displaced by Blast Cones. Something something minions… [*] Fixed a bug where [[Zyra]]'s dead body could intercept ARAM's snowball. Whoops. [*] Enemy spell shields are no longer consumed when a nearby [[Kha'Zix]] evolves an ability. [*] Fixed a bug where if [[Quinn]] [[Vault]]ed [[Gangplank]] at the same time as he triggered a [[Powder Keg]] explosion on multiple targets, it made for one fast pirate. [*] The range indicator for [[Rengar]]'s [[Unseen Predator]] is now consistent across all skins. [*] [[Guardian of the Sands Skarner]] no longer causes an insanely loud noise to play if certain actions were taken. [*] [[Lulu]] and her skins once again play their running animations when hasted, rather than walking really really fast.

[quote=FalseoGod]Still no [[rengar]]/[[leblanc]] nerfs AND they buffed lethality. OK.[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard][[knight's vow]] didn't get CDR, [[eye of the equinox]] did, as far as I can tell[/quote]

[quote=DreamingInRed]Nice that they buffed Gragas, should help with his early clear, since they also buffed the early AD in the jungle. The heal should also be a nice boon for lane Gragas, more sustain is always good. Not that many effects on anything I play though, but maybe Darius gets banned less frequently now[/quote]

[quote=Elusive Ferret][quote=FalseoGod]Still no [[rengar]]/[[leblanc]] nerfs AND they buffed lethality. OK.[/quote] Riot said that 7.2 was already locked in before they had pro play data or some bullshit, so those nerfs are coming in 7.3 instead. Jayce nerfs already up on the PBE![/quote]

[quote=PsiGuard][quote=The_Nameless_Bard][[knight's vow]] didn't get CDR, [[eye of the equinox]] did, as far as I can tell[/quote] Fixed, sorry about that.[/quote]
