So I’m guessing the time is still shortened by tenacity, but the speed at which the slow increases is changed so it can slow to the max amount of the ability. Does that make sense?

Yeah, that’s how it’s going to work now. Wither increases its slow percentage per tick until it maxes out for a second at the end. They said that now instead of CC reduction just cutting it short the ticks will apply faster the more reduction you have.

Solo queue. I pick Galio. The rest of my team is Yi, Nidalee, Ez, and Akali. After we load in they tell me to go solo top. I blink at them a few times and then do as I’m told. This is the result:

Nidalee was sort of right, in that showed up at the final team fight bot just in time to ult Jax and Sona and enable our Akali to not only not die but turn her double into a quadra.

On an unrelated note, I have decided that solo top Jarvan has carried me as high as he can, and I must rely on Irelia (and maybe Renekton) to take me higher. Or, I dunno, I guess I could start jungling Jarvan.

Solo top is Galio’s ideal lane, I reckon. He can take mid or support if necessary, but I think he wants to go top, really. Bulwark and Resolute Smite are absolutely beastly, particularly Bulwark. It’s got to be one of the best shields in the game (Morgana’s is probably still top because Magic Immunity is just silly).

I like Galio and wish he was run more often.

Galio can be fun in mid versus an AP caster. You can just buy magic resistance items, consistently increasing your MR and your AP and shrug off the opposing caster.

So, who’s online ?
I wanna drunk pubstomp.

Cindex · 2011-08-08T16:12:08.000Z

You have to be playing Gragas to do that.

Pogo · 2011-08-08T16:13:04.000Z

God damn I hate being in the unfortunate situation of going mid with Heimerdinger against Veigar. The turrets held up but of course it’s fucking Veigar and he gets like 100 AP before I even have a damage item and owns me, and Heimer isn’t all that good at getting kills so I couldn’t slow him down.

At least I kept taking his blue, though… and giving it back to him.

I’ll admit I laughed out loud at a couple spots in this video:

Pogo · 2011-08-08T17:05:23.000Z

Yeah that’s pretty great.

Hard to pick a favorite. 5 Assassin’s is kind of funny because it’s just one-after-another dashing of death.

That actually was entertaining. I could see several of those teams being really annoying to face off against.

Cindex · 2011-08-08T17:43:15.000Z

Holy crap! I peed a little at the end.

maxle · 2011-08-08T18:39:06.000Z

I bet that’s actually impressive when it isn’t choreographed.

MrCoffee · 2011-08-08T18:39:13.000Z

From reading the patch notes, i think we will see OP pantheon again.

maxle · 2011-08-08T18:47:28.000Z

…Kennen buffs? I mean, I was already in heaven. Now I…hell, I don’t know.

Jarvan will no longer follow the target while he is in the air during Cataclysm

Wait, no. Hell. I’m in hell.

Cougar · 2011-08-08T19:13:37.000Z

Isn’t that just a bug fix? So if a character flashes away mid jump he won’t appear at their destination? Or worse, a blue pill and end up in their fountain? :D

I had happen in my last game as jarvan, but it was a from a Flash+Teleport from ezreal.

Gangplank

[li]Grog Soaked Blade max stacks has been reduced to 3 from 4[/li][/ul]
Bleh. I mean he probably needed this, but this also likely kills his jungling a lot.

MrCoffee:

I think I agree. I hated him last time he was OP and this looks just as bad.

Quicksilver Sash is now unique
Tears of the Goddess, Manamune and Archangel's Staff now display your unique bonus mana in their tooltips.

I wonder how often people were buying more than one? The thought had occurred to me before. Cool to see them FINALLY following up on showing how much a stack item has filled.

Pogo · 2011-08-08T20:05:33.000Z

Meh, he’s always been so clumsy at actually assassinating anyone, though. With Nocturne in the game, I don’t really care about Pantheon any more.

re: tog description tweak. Fuckin’ finally.

maxle · 2011-08-08T21:21:13.000Z

What is this I don’t even. Okay, so, soloing as Galio. They don’t have a jungler so we figure our Morde is probably our best bet top. Except Jax, uh, Jax goes top. And is silent. Forever silent. Not a word. Does not speak, does not move. Okay, he can have top (against taric/rumble), maybe it’ll work. No. No it doesn’t. Our jungling DC’s for a couple minutes, putting him hopeless behind. Jax loses his tower, does his best to farm. They’re pushing, Jax is never there. No, Jax spends all day every day split pushing. It doesn’t matter that a mid turret is at risk, he’s pushing an outer turret. It doesn’t matter that an inhibitor turret is at risk, he’s pushing a mid turret. Hey, wait, he just took a turret. Hey, taric and cait went to stop him and he killed them both. What the fuck? Hey, while the enemy was pushing a mid turret he took a mid and inhib turret and, uh, and then killed Cait and then Taric and then took the inhib. We decide maybe Jax isn’t worthless after all, even if he won’t speak with or work with us. We follow him around. We win.

After the match, we express our shock and surprise that he wasn’t totally fucking worthless. He speaks! For the first time! And tells us to look him up, he was bored. I do. He’s 1975 solo ranked.

But it was the best bug ever. Not only did it never fuck me, it frequently fucked my target. I loved it so, so much.

mx, that is the funniest shit I’ve heard today.
