[quote=Lugignaf]That's an interesting change to [[Ground slam]]. It means that AP Malph is a lot more powerful. Everything else, meh.[/quote]

[quote=Acid Reigns]I'm honestly suprised here. Zyra isn't being added yet, and everyone seems ok with it? I couldn't care less, I've been excited for the reworks, but I expected a LOT of rage. I didn't see any on the LoL forums either. o: I'm guessing from that last little comment this patch is going to effect fps for some reason? o.O[/quote]

[quote=Crows foot]Will be alot more evelyns in game next week! I already saw a decent number of twitches. Xin will have great ganks top and bot with that reduction. Good thing no one is killing my taric[/quote]

[quote=caucheka][quote=Lugignaf] That's an interesting change to [[Ground slam]]. It means that AP Malph is a lot more powerful. Everything else, meh. [/quote] its to trick people into thinking it will still the same damage but it won't.[/quote]

[quote=cooper56]Malphite shen soon be as useless as they were fuck i mean with all nerfs shen had number 8 i think for him hes pretty much back to state b4 buffs same with malphite.[/quote]

[quote=Hamduden]To me it seems that all the remakes have made Xin, Eve and Twitch kinda op. Dunno yet ofc, just seems from the Champion Spotlights (Eve and Twitch) and from my own experience with the present Xin (he is very viable now, and with this buff to ALL his abilities is just .. crazy).[/quote]
