League of Legends - Patch Preview 1.0.0.110

[quote=Zeprido]I'm okay with the rune changes, since it's a global fix it's fine. The hit on doran's items is gonna hurt a bit, especially for solo laner's who play with them. Not only have they nerfed doran's items, but now they are increasing the price... =([/quote]

[quote=Diesel]Welp, gonna start editing my Lux guide to the upcoming Doran's changes. Hopefully the Runes and Mastery changes won't be too much knowing that they don't do a lot as is.[/quote]

[quote=Zeprido][quote=Diesel] Welp, gonna start editing my Lux guide to the upcoming Doran's changes. Hopefully the Runes and Mastery changes won't be too much knowing that they don't do a lot as is. [/quote] It's not as bad as we thought. [b]Originally Posted by Guinsoo[/b] "but all champions have had their base regenerations per level incresed too. Only if you take yellows and blues will you see a slight loss in mp5, and only after around level 5 or so. So it's pretty much a breakeven now if you take them, and a win if you don't." [b]My Commentary[/b] I had a feeling this was the case, since it was a "global nerf" to the runes, Riot would either "nerf" champion base stats or "buff" them, glad Riot went with the "buff". Still gotta see how this will effect tanky mages and support though. [b]Originally Posted by Guinsoo[/b] "Doran's items were compensated in stats for their increase in cost, so it's not a net loss." [b]My Commentary[/b] This is what concerned me the most honestly. Doran's items are really good for certain champions (also for certain situations). Since their stats were nerfed recently I was beginning to think they wouldn't be viable after this patch, but since their stats are going to be compensated for their cost increase, it'll really have to be a play and see scenario. Since this has been tested and is going live, I'm sure it will work out fine, though I'm going to miss my health pot with my doran's item =( [b]Originally Posted by Guinsoo[/b] "Rammus is getting a small nerf to the effects of the Powerball slow as well as the fix to taunt cooldown." [b]My Commentary[/b] Glad to see a few rammus changes and a fix to his taunt. This is honestly looking to be a great patch. Anyone else like Guinsoo's Beard?

[quote=Visfarix]ah I was about to post that thread too but ya beat me to it. I'm mostly sad about the HP rune/mastery and Strength of [i]Singed[/i] nerf more than the MPregen/5 rune/mastery nerf. I mean if they're going to be buffing all the base MPregen values of every champion then we should be ok anyway. As for the Doran's items, I'm waiting with bated breath. They say their going to be buffing the Doran item stats to make up for the increase in cost, so hopefully the stat buff will more than offset the increase in price.[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]Wow. Doran's items are actually being buffed. Obviously it's to combat the price increase, but it'll be interesting to see how they're changed.[/quote]

[quote=Visfarix]Heheh. I'm actually excited to see how they'll make Doran's Ring better. I usually open Cho with 9-21-0 masteries, MagPen marks, MPregen/5 seals, AP/level glyphs, straight AP quints, and a Doran's Ring(+1 HP pot which I rarely need). With the changes they're making in the next patch, I might be able to shift some things around and end up with a general buff to my Cho build. Heeheehee[/quote]

[quote=STRYKER29]I've seen the 'buffs' that they have given the Doran's items and they aren't very impressive. The average buff is an increase in the stat by 1. EX. Doran's Blade before patch = 8 damage. After buff = 9 damage Thoughts?[/quote]
