Make sure to check out the full changes above for any champion(s) you're interested in! [[Ryze]] received a major visual and gameplay update which you can read about [url=http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/page/champion-update-ryze-rune-mage]here[/url]. You can also check out the tooltips for easier access to the rework. His new flexibility with different combos and team-teleport ultimate are sure to make him much more interesting to watch and play. [center][columns][icon=Arcane Mastery size=50][nextcol][icon=Overload size=50][nextcol][icon=Rune Prison size=50][nextcol][icon=Spell Flux size=50][nextcol][icon=Realm Warp size=50][/columns][/center] [[Sona]] and [[Leona]] also received a number of significant changes that are intended overall to be buffs to each champion. Most notably, their ultimates, [[Crescendo]] and [[Solar Flare]], have received new passive effects. Crescendo passively grants CDR for Sona's basic abilities and Solar Flare empowers Leona's autoattacks for a few seconds after casting. Another notable change was to [[Song of Celerity]], which provides a self-speed buff that doesn't decay and can last up to 9 seconds if Sona is out of combat. [[Azir]] and [[Viktor]] were both targeted for nerfs as two of the most dominant mid laners. Azir's base damage on his sand soldiers ([[Arise!]]) went down, reducing his reliability especially in mid-game before he has completed many AP items. Viktor's [[Glorious Evolution]] was also changed so that his first Hex Core upgrade costs more gold and the final upgrade costs less (making the overall gold cost the same, but more expensive in the early stages of the game). Our last highlight is the changes to [[Taliyah]], which adjusted the mechanics of [[Seismic Shove]] to be vector-cast and it no longer locks Taliyah out of casting other spells. This is a similar mechanic to "drag-and-drop" abilities like [[The Equalizer]] and [[Death Ray]]. Taliyah also received nerfs to [[Seismic Shove]] and [[Unraveled Earth]] to compensate for the increased reliability of landing her combo. [/td][/tr][/table] [size=6][color=#ffffff]Twisted Treeline Changes[/color][/size] The Twisted Treeline received a number of changes to jungle rewards and turrets, which you can check out [url=http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/patch/patch-614-notes#patch-jungle-rewards]here[/url]. In addition, several items were removed and replaced by their Summoner's Rift counterparts.

[quote=TheSilverDust]Yay, now I will not kill steal just to get a high grade! And yay at the [[Sona]] changes, but I will miss that missing %health heal. That was strong because I was able to outplay my enemies with that. But nay at the tentative nerfs of [[Karma]] at the PBE. I know that it was targeted at the competitive [[Karma]], but that was the only thing that was mostly the thing that she can contribute in a team fight.[/quote]

[quote=Weihna]75 mov.speed even if it is out of combat is quite a lot o.O by the way, quite funny [[Braum]] clothes on Taric's skin :v[/quote]

[quote=Re4XN][[Miss Fortune]] skin is BARELY worth 1350 RP (comparing it to the other two) :// I am sad. Also, [[Lux]] changed, but screw that bitch, her burst is so freaking annoying that I cannot sleep at night without my very own [[hexdrinker]]. Cloud Drake changes are quite nice. 75 movement speed is extremely useful for engaging/chasing.[/quote]

[quote=Latest Legend]I think the [[pool party fiora]] splash is amazing! Awesome piece of work.[/quote]

[quote=takeothebeast]o mah gawd the cloud drake doesnt seem to suck anyomre get 2 or three cloud drakes and youll run from top to bot in record time,also i got three clouds in a game and i had teemo jungle soo i ran almost as fast as quinn[/quote]

[quote=Re4XN]Honestly, if my team gets 3 cloud drakes in a game, I will just be disappointed :P It STILL is the worst out of the 4 drakes.[/quote]
