[quote=PFP]Well there goes half of my new Warwick idea..[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn][quote=Shrillex] Tanks got nerfed the most because of this. Oh well. Why they removed locket is beyond me. [/quote] The heal it provided on ability-spamming characters (Udyr, Soraka) combined with Spirit Visage was just too ridiculous to have. Combine that with GuardsmanBob's stunning performance as Udyr using a Spirit Visage+Innervating Locket combo and you have the metaphorical straw that broke the camel's back.[/quote]

[/quote] It wasn't GuardsmanBob's performance as Udyr that forced the nerfs to Spirit Visage and Innervating Locket. These nerfs were already planned well in advance to the Ionia vs Noxus match. Their were a multitude of threads where morello and zileas blatantly said they were going to nerf the Locket + Visage combo. The only thing that GuardsmanBob's performance did was illustrate to the low ELO masses how broken this combo was.[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]I know that - the removal of Locket was inevitable, Riot themselves announced it far before the game was actually played. But whatever chance in hell Locket had of just being nerfed was ruined when Bob brought the item and its capabilities to the public. While it may have been nerfed, not completely removed, I'm saying that Bob's performance was a contributing factor to the eventual decision to get rid of it.[/quote]

I was rather unsurprised they removed Locket. Nerfing it to weaken the item might not necessarily fix the problem, and so taking it out of the game entirely was a much simpler solution. I imagine they will re-design/re-balance Locket much like they did to deathfire grasp when it was broken.[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]Perhaps. Regardless, Guardmanbob probably felt like a king that night. ^_^[/quote]

[quote=Leone]Agreed. Haven't seen very many Sunfire capes since the patch[/quote]

[quote=Riggsinator]I rarely got more than one. Sunfire + BV + Thornmail > Sunfire + Sunfire + Sunfire[/quote]
