I had to scratch my head when I saw how much the changes to 
Zac boosted his winrate. Did not think it would have that much of an impact.
Ashe has moved into the blow her up quickly or she will murder your entire team one at a time if she has a little peel. Reminded me of getting chased down by a Tahm Kench with Yuumi. Feels bad.
Blitzcrank grab range increase is nuts.
Heimerdinger - probably already a pest to melee champions, now even more so. And I believe I understand how his ult works now, so... >:) His ult stun grenade is kind of ridiculous. You can easily turn a team fight with it.
Annie - zoom button is fun. Surprised at how much mana her abilities cost, even with a Lost Chapter you can run oom. Anivia is still cancer to play Annie into though.
The usual suspects still seem strong in the right hands. Got mauled by a Vayne. Got mauled by a Riven.
Mordekaiser feels like a win more champion and he should win more win the buffs. Have gotten mauled by a couple of them too.
Rek'Sai feels, maybe slightly better. Still think you need to be so active on her in the early game that you force an FF early as she doesn't feel like a champion after 25 minutes. Good if you are smurfing I guess.
Fiora felt pretty good even though I was in something of a counter match-up and only somewhat know how to play the champion. I just farmed up, got my items, and then was able to pressure through the split push. Her damage is bonkers when itemized.
Overall felt like the patch made some already strong champions even stronger, which feels a little weird from Riot.
Not super excited about any of the skins.
