Ooh just read about a potentially hilarious new Udyr bug. Gonna have to grind IP to try it out.
All I can say for now is, 15 minute solo baron.

I go play D2 for a week and they finally buff Urgot. Is he still super horrible late game or is he mildly viable? And I don’t mean “pre-patch Teemo” viable, I mean “people won’t rage at me for picking him” viable.

I feel like Wards are just one of those things that really make a huge difference in a game, and yet aren’t really high profile items or highly encouraged to be used by the game itself. (Amongst players, it is, but not enough, and its hard to force people to use them) And since they are invisible to the opposing team, it can be hard for noobs to understand the how and the why of getting mauled by an entire team using them. I suppose they could find out when assigned to a team full of ward users, but that’s kind of a random happenstance.
Don’t worry. I’m sure Riot will respond by nerfing baron buff, soon.

After watching some high elo matches I think the “flash no longer canceling projectiles” is bigger than the locket going away at that level. Before it was common to see low hitpoint carries flash away from team fights and live to fight another day now all those champion spells that would have been canceled are going to hit anyway and people are going to die like trist when her rocket jump just moves her corpse instead of saving her. I wonder if riftwalk does still cancel if it did in the first place. I think I’m going to find out this week.

It never did. I’m thinking of a time when I procced double up on the enemy tank, it went towards kass, he rifted away and then died. It was hilarious.
Oh, quick apologies for my iPhone’s terrible spelling in my last post. Gah.

Granted, the guy streaming on CLG is really good but he’s wrecking with Urgot right now. The AD scaling on his damage skills seems to have pushed him into the realm of viability.

-Fixed Udyr proc bug
-Removed Baron Nashor from game.
-Removed Madred’s Razors from game.

Heh, or they’d remove Udyr from the game.
But I see now how the bug works, its the triple strike thing combined with Madreds razors on hit ability? Wasn’t that basically always there, and was just now found, or did the latest patch do something to put it in?
Latest patch changed his tiger stance, buffing it, so I’m guessing this came about because of that.
Still not as funny as being able to move Nashor with Poppy though ;)

You would be correct!
Apparently it triple procs certain item effects such as Sheen and Madred’s Razors/Wriggles (not blood razor).
Just played an hour long game in which I went 21/13/19 as Kat. I had a quadra kill, just missed a penta, at least 1 triple kill and multiple double kills.
I forgot how much fun she can be to play, although the other team was not CC heavy (Tryn, Irelia, Vlad, Ashe, Teemo) so that helped.

I like those answers. Now I can counter-grief by playing out games to the bitter end when someone rants about all the n00bs on our team.
The downside is those who would have left may just stay in the nexus - bannable offence but they should have put in measures to handle inactivity as well.

I wasn’t able to solo Baron 15 minutes in. I don’t think it is possible :/

Two games in a row we had technical issues from hell. First game ripplez isn’t able to do anything (shut up, Jim!) because the client is maxing his CPU or some such. Second game the near-pubbie d/cs for four levels, and then he comes back he gets himself killed twice and then whines about not having backup. Ugh.
That’s what you get for ditching me! Or something!
But hey, after playing around in practice games I now know what three items Jax needs to solo Baron. Hint for bunny: Malady is not included!

Rage blade, gunblade and dodge boots?

I forgot to mention, we also had what is currently my favorite example of Pogo rage in awful game the first. It was glorious.
