[quote=Diesel][quote=Zeprido] Looks like they want Shen back in the jungle. [/quote] No complaints here, I'd love to get back to using Shen again.[/quote]

[quote=Temzilla]I like the vlad changes :P Makes his lane a lot better early, and removes some of that obnoxious late game where he has a billion health.[/quote]

[quote=Fox Rage][quote]Healing effect now also heals for 2% of attacker's maximum health per hit[/quote] Looks like a Volibear (or any off-tank that use a lot of AS) indirect buff XD[/quote]

[quote=Legendarsreign]Yeah but did you notice these too? :) [quote] Ionic Spark [list] [*]Now purchasable on Summoner's Rift and Twisted Treeline [*]Chain lightning proc increased to 120 from 110.[/list] Ninja Tabi [list] [*]+25 Armor [*]UNIQUE Passive: Reduces the damage taken from non-turret basic attacks by 10%. [*]UNIQUE Passive: Enhanced Movement 2[/list] [/quote] Seems like AoE characters just got even better.... Not sure what to think of Ninja Tabi[/quote]

[quote=Diesel][quote=Legendarsreign] Not sure what to think of Ninja Tabi [/quote] Great against your basic AD carries like [[Caitlyn]], [[Master Yi]], and [[Tristana]].[/quote]

Not sure what to think of Ninja Tabi [/quote] There was another thread on those already.[/quote]

[quote=Legendarsreign]Hmmm so the question is, Is it still as effective or less effective than it originally was? I personally think that it will still stay just as viable of a choice as it was, mainly because it's still fulfilling it's purpose. Although what happens to [[Sword of the Divine]] now since the dodge stat won't be present? Edit: [quote=Zeprido] There was another thread on those already.[/quote] ...oh lol... didn't see it...[/quote]

[quote=Zeprido]I'm not a big fan of Ionic Spark. I just tried out jungle Shen on PBE, seems more sustainable for sure.[/quote]

[quote=Crazy Smurf]2 Minor buffs on Vlad for a Major nerf... Shiz, I wanna play Vlad but seeing that AP-HP nerf, geez, that was what made Vlad a Vlad. Now he is a standard AP Carry with no real compensation for his no CC at all.[/quote]
