Thanks for the heads up :]
Here are my thoughts.
Here are my thoughts.
- I'm a little bit sad about
Zhonya's and having to activate it for the AP increase, but it does allow for a more interesting choice. - Not sure how I feel about
Exhaust changes, I don't think it was necessary as it fit in the game quite well and was not OP or UP.
- CDR boots will make me play one of my favorite yet over-nerfed champions,
Ezreal yet again.
- To be honest, I could care less about the buffs they are applying on the other champions mentioned..
I'm interested to see how the change to Zhonya's will turn out. The hourglass is actually a pretty decent item, and I expect hourglass+banshee to be used and abused a lot.
The deathcap has just an absurd amount of AP and is obviously extremely offensively oriented - still, I don't know if it's preferable for champions to take this item that offers no utility whatsoever.
Not too happy about exhaust changes. It was one of the only ways to hard CC Trynd or Yi, and even that could be countered with a Sword of the Divine,
CDR boots are nice although I'm not quite sure which champions would find it useful.
Excited about the Olaf buff and the buffs to "others".

They made exhaust better overall since it will reduce AA damage by a lot and also reduce spell damage by 33%, so using it on a Veigar might just let you live a few seconds longer.
The split is great for AP casters, especially ones that don't need to jump into the fray, since the Deathcap gives a flat 35 and 5% extra AP to casters. Casters that do need to jump into the fray obviously got nerfed a bit here, which is reasonable, seeing how many Kennens and Fiddlesticks were just jumping in and using the active while raping e'rrbody out there.
I'm not sure if I'd use the CDR boots personally on my mains, but I'm sure there are heroes that synthesize with it pretty well.
I want to see the official patch notes, but I'm liking it so far. Don't let me down, Riot!

Yes like I have been saying for the past month or so, Riot has been nerfing & changing items/spells/champions to indirectly buff Melee DPS champions. Take for instance the change to lizard buff giving 30% slow for Melee's, the nerfing of movement speed on all ranged carries, and now the removing blind from Exhaust.

The video shows Banksy's Deathcap as having a Unique Passive. Did someone say something somewhere to change that?
Yeah, typo on my part. Changed it in the main post, thank you for finding that!

VCDR boots only cost 900. Interesting.
That may be the recipe cost; making it a possible 1,250G Boots. Depends on how heavy they think CDR Boots can dictate a character/game.
