[[Cloak of Agility]] has also been removed.

[quote=misterhangman]So it's May 31st and he is not available in store? What gives? ETA: It's there now, my bad[/quote]

[quote=Hamstertamer][[hail of blades]] is awesome. Best rune on autoattacking assassins like [[nocturne]], [[diana]],[[shaco]]...also good on [[master yi]] to charge rageblade. [[nimbus cloak]], frankly, I think is extremely underpowered. It's basically a phase rush except you have to ult for it. It doesn't even give slow resistance. Ultimate hat removal is a pretty massive mage nerf. Remove their mana, remove their runes...Riot hates mages. Frankly I think a lot of mages will go domination as primary now. [[last whisper]] items...urgh. Changed from anti-tank to anti-everything. Shurelya nerfed (yes!), Khazix nerfed (yes!), Banner cheese removed from the game (I LOVE YOU), but Xin nerf is a joke (sad). This looks like an AD burst patch. From [[stormrazor]] to [[last whisper]] items...this mainly advantages AD bruisers and assassins.[/quote]

[quote=Jovy]I like Nimbus but it's useful on such a small number of champions (like Morg, off the top of my head) whereas Ultimate Hat could've potentially been used by just about any champion. I don't know why they they got rid of the latter.[/quote]

[quote=KajiKumihoAkukei]I don't know, I think [[nimbus cloak]] actually isn't all that bad. Some other champions that might benefit from this that I can think of quickly: [list] [*] [[fiddlesticks]] [*] [[skarner]] [*] [[udyr]] [*] [[elise]] (switch form and you gain a burst of movement speed while ganking). [*] [[nidalee]] (same as [[elise]]). [*] [[akali]] (great tool to help her chase someone or get away). [*] [[singed]] (even more movement speed when he ults, help!). ... [/list][/quote]

[quote=Jovy]yeah you ain't wrong, I was mostly just looking at my own champion circle I suppose :D[/quote]

[quote=KajiKumihoAkukei]I know the feeling, when I first read about the rune I just immediately started looking at my own champion pool first! ^^[/quote]

[quote=Jovy]yeah I was like "but muh two champs that use ultimate hat" [img=https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Oaewrz-7M0E/Wo9PZE-jDaI/AAAAAAAA5yY/BOSEiViGD5k7jwcLYur4SvSypBN8p0VuQCLcBGAs/s1600/d59ac85417e4a84d.png][/quote]

[quote=Hamstertamer][[udyr]] doesn't have an ultimate. [[nimbus cloak]] literally does nothing on him. http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Nimbus_Cloak_(Rune) It's also disabled on shape changing champions like [[elise]], [[nidalee]] and [[jayce]]. In all those cases it's replaced by [[nullifying orb]]. Even if it were changed to work on them it would activate automatically when you're farming and go on cooldown for one minute. God that rune needs a buff.[/quote]

[quote=Jovy]Ultimate Hat didn't work on Udyr/Shyv either to be fair. It did work on transformations (Elise etc) though from what I remember.[/quote]
