[quote=devdevil]No more igniting the baron xD[/quote]

[quote=Minho]Who ignites Baron in the first place? -.-' Loving the changes, can't wait to try out the new jungle.[/quote]

[quote=chaocontrol64]Never thought of igniting the Baron, there goes a tactic I never even thought of :P[/quote]

[quote=Nighthawk][quote=Minho] Who ignites Baron in the first place? -.-' Loving the changes, can't wait to try out the new jungle. [/quote] it can be beneficial for early barons or 2-3 man barons. srsly that guy has a lot of healing[/quote]

[quote=Glayde]Finally I won't ignite a minion on accident. :D The new jungle also seems pretty neat. Still sad that [[Ionic Spark]] is being removed though.[/quote]

[quote=Minho]^ Only useful on split push champs like Shen so I won't have a problem w/ it being removed since I hardly play split push champs. 8D[/quote]

[quote=Pheyniex][[Elise]] gets a buff in her %hp damage when tanky is already a nightmare. reintroducing [[Zhonya's Ring]] [[LeBlanc]] gets a buff where it makes no difference. [[Vilemaw]] still soloable. FFS, Riot... -.-'[/quote]

[quote=Xeronn]No more double lightning on [[Volibear]] though D:[/quote]

[quote=Psychofrench]Jayce, want a pillager? Yes, please. The Ionic really helped [[Volibear]] farming, it will be truly missed. Time to come up with another plan. And I'm tempted to try [[Blackfire Torch]] on Maokai, beef up those saplings.[/quote]
