PBE Patch Notes for 8/25/2012

[quote=Darcurse]Brand is not weak, he's simply the glass cannon type-- Sth nobody wants to play competetively. He get's jumped at, the only thing he can do is to waste an aoe spell to set his target ablaze and then stun him for 2secs and before that happened he normally lost half his HP, if the attacker had some burst potential. Brand can consider a teamfight to be a succes if he 1) Hits one target with [[Sear]] 2) Uses him to spread [[Conflagration]] to nearby enemies 3) After that hits as much [[Blaze]] targets as possible with [[Pillar of Flame]] 4) And let [[Pyroclasm]] run wild before 5) Inevitably getting killed Ending up with supporter stats. And if the enemy team doesn't suck at positioning... Well, than Brand loses most of his potential while being an one-sided burster.[/quote]

[quote=nhom][quote=crossfire] [quote=wRAthoFVuLK] The passive buff is nice, but a NERF to Shunpo? real. >_> [/quote] You have it wrong. They nerfed the passive and buffed the ability. [/quote] She got buffed both on Shunpo and passive... Her abilities were always below 15 sec cooldown so they will be refreshed anyway, and she has now extra 5 sec refresh on Death Lotus...[/quote]

[quote=cooper56][quote=crossfire] [quote=wRAthoFVuLK] The passive buff is nice, but a NERF to Shunpo? real. >_> [/quote] You have it wrong. They nerfed the passive and buffed the ability. [/quote] Its a buff... all her basic basic abilities under 10 sec cd's. Now her ult gets 5 more secs off it other than that its same.[/quote]

[quote=Crows foot]no? they buffed passive AND shunpo. But they nerfed q a bit. Since they only raised damag 10 but lowered ratios. 200 ap and lower ratios will hurt more. But that is mid/lategame when she was strong so I don't think it will hurt her noticeably.[/quote]

[quote=FalseoGod]Ziggs is quite underwhelming atm, but I still love his laugh and I wanna play his pool party costum on pbe :3 As for the Syndra nerfs, I take it they thought she was kinda abusive? Dayum.[/quote]

[quote=FalseoGod]Minimum damage is now?[/quote]

[quote=BlackIceT]I would have to say that [[Brand]] is a very viable choice for mid lane. A 5-2-16 game just as good as a 16-2-5 game. Sure you do not make as much gold from assists as you would from the kills (most likely) but you are still helping your team win teamfights with awesome burst damage. To be honest I rarely find myself dying that often besides the occasional troll game in normal blind pick :D. [[Brand]] is about positioning yourself while on cooldowns properly so you don't die. I personally believe his tier status is too low but that is my opinion. I also love [[Ziggs]] and he needs a little love lol. Although Wayne3100 is definitely right positioning with him is so key to having a successful game even if he does get beat by some popular mid choices.[/quote]

[/quote] there's not even a comparison[/quote]

[quote=cooper56][quote=FalseoGod] Minimum damage is now? [/quote] 270/405/540/260/320 (+0.45*AP) (Up from 210/315/420/260/320(+0.45*AP))[/quote]
