well, he reduces your AD, he heals when things die, he has bonus AS movement and healing on his zone, and his ult steals your defensive stats
so
until you can spam your true damage and laugh, you let him have his farm. you are far, far better after laning than he is. also, time your engagements so that you're not fighting when he's about to get a bunch of healing from a wave
Trundle is far far better after laning than Olaf. Only marginally weakened if not against a tank
The range on Zyra's new passive is waaaaay bigger than I expected it to be, if you stand at blue or red buff it looks like you can feasibly have seeds pop up in the river. Seems like a lot of her power has been shifted to something that she has no control over, and my initial reaction is that that's going to wind up making her frustrating to play.
I'm also pretty sure her passive seeds' cooldown doesn't reduce with level, despite the tooltip claiming it should.
This is the most entertaining pro-game I've watched in a long time.
edit:
I recently got into wrestling and that ending felt so much like a bullshit wrestling match ending. I'm not one of the crazies who actually thinks League is scripted, just saying that's how it felt at the end.
Two questions for today: when the patch notes are available, would someone copy pasta them here?
Second question, with where MSI is this year and where I am, I'm never going to see any games live until the weekend. Is there any way to download the VODs from the matches to watch on my phone?
They are way too huge to paste so I put them on pastebin. Details of each mage update aren't in first link because it's a click to select kind of thing. 6.9 Patch Notes in text on pastebin
Edit: Mage Updates in separate Pastebin here
You can get the YouTube links for each match from r/LoLEventVods and then use whatever method you like to download the video files - probably your easiest bet (if you can't stream them from YouTube).
Epic skill shot on youtube already has Day 1 vods up.
Sev: Your gameplay is the most heavily yomi based around. Usually you look for characters that allow you to force guessing situations for big dmg. Even if the guess is mathematically nowhere near in your favor lol. You're happiest when you have either a 50/50, 33/33/33 or even a 75/25 situation to go crazy with. And you will take big risks to force those situations to come up.

Yeah, www.reddit.com/r/loleventvods is the best place for spoiler free VoDs of matches. They usually are pretty good about getting them up right after a match ends as well.
Please consider the environment before printing this post.

Here's a potentially dumb question; anybody know how the new Athene's Unholy Grail passive works with AOE shields? Do the blood charges only go to a single target, do they get distributed evenly, or does everyone shielded get the full value?
Thinking mostly about Karma here. The ability to heal everyone on her team with a mantra E would be one hell of a buff to her.

My computer crashed while I was patching and now when I click the Launch button, the client disappears and though it shows up in my task manager, isn't accessible.
And when I try to run the game again I get the there's already a client open error message. And rebooting my PC hasn't worked.
Am I going to have to reinstall the entire client?
Edit: All right, it finally fixed itself after running the repair tool like five times.

I am glad that the most oppresive mage in a game got more nerfs. I am talking obviously about Swain. Everyone remembers how well he is played competitively, and how many games in LCS he carried his teams to victory. Truly, these changes are necessary.
holy shit this patch gutted so many things that are core to a lot of the champions I play.
I'm just rather worried that adcs will be relatively less powerful, and as such I will have less impact on the game as either adc or support. I wonder. Duo-queue coworker and I are exchanging a lot of doom-and-gloom IMs on this subject right now...
I didn't play him in new patch yet, but apparently he becomes immobile for 0.25 s while activating ult, which makes his biggest flaw (inability to catch quick enemies) even bigger.

My wife and I played a bot game to check out new items, and I noticed one of my bots was in the enemy jungle for a good half a minute. How's that passive working out for you, Zyra bot?
Nothing like winning a Ranked 4v5 in your opponent's favor after your Nasus tilts off the face of the rift because of all-chat. This is why I do not have it on.
Also Brand JG is kinda hilarious. Hard, but hilarious.
Oh, and I personally think that the new Bloodrazor + Rageblade is actually a buff to Xin Zhao.

i would imagine vlad goes for bigger items like rylai's, zhonya's, deathcap or situational depending on matchup like new abyssal or the new Hextech protobelt
i have a sneaking suspicion that Hextech Gunblade might still be alright for vlad but probably more a luxury item because of the wasted AD itemization

It has the omnivamp thing going for it they said. Oh wait, that's gunblade. Revolver has nothing, but gunblade still has the vamp.

I'm trying to find a jungle champion that clicks for me the way Ahri did for me mid. I like her mobility, and her charm's ability to both catch enemies and peel for teammates (and the aoe damage for teamfights). I thought Ekko might be a good choice, but by the time I saved up the IP I was unsure (and he hasn't been free in ages to try).
The two junglers I've played the most have been Udyr and Vi; the latter (and Jax) I die with more than I like, and while I love Udyr and some games feel great he doesn't always feel impactful. Maybe I'm building too tanky... Do y'all think Ekko might be fun in a way similar to Ahri? Any ideas on other junglers that may play like her?
So I don't play Ahri, what are the attributes in her that you like in midlane, that you hope to also see in a jungler?

It's not much, but I went mid today and won. And it just feels good to see your opponent making mistakes and abusing them to victory.
(Even if that mistake is as simple as "Lux just whiffed her root YOU'RE TALON, JUMP ON THE LUX SHE CAN'T STOP YOU NOW".)
just a heads up as talon you can actually force whiffs on champions who rely on C to stop you from instagibbing them. Example being veigar- If veigar cages and you're "trapped" you can E on him without getting stunned as long as he's in range. Because talon's E is technically not a dash its a teleport I.E. you can use it to "flash" through certain hitboxes I.E. you can E through Shen taunt, you can technically E through ashe arrow if the distance is proper. Its not a foolproof method or superbly good unless you have the latency/ and reactions to do it but anytime you're against someone like that who relies on CC to survive you can do it.

Didn't get a chance to see how that got with the Elder Dragon buff since we were able to close it out before it spawned. That's a lotta free damage.
New Athene's is interesting, at least. Need to figure out exactly where in the build I'm going to push for it, though.

I'm not totally sure what the interaction is but it certainly looked like the blood charges applied equally to everyone hit by her mantra shield.
