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.

Thanks to jhoijhoi and LaCorpse for the amazing sigs!

^ 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

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...

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.
