Doesn't Miss Fortune dual-wield handguns?

Looking at this image, I think it looks like crap. His neck is longer than his head is tall and his hair is awful.

Let's hope this is a new, unique champion that is better than Quinn...

So then what exactly is the purpose of this post Liquid? "Hey everyone, just wanted to tell you that soon we are going to tell you something about something, BE READY"

I don't think it's odd at all. They set the values, they tested it and it seemed a little weak so they buffed it and realized that the buff pushed it over the edge. 2800 vs 2550 is rather huge. Again, it's not schizophrenic because tweaking and retweaking is the purpose of the pbe.

I can tell you from experience that the extra 250 range on her ult was absurd. She's a super fun support who is I think the best combination of Leona (aoe stun), Janna (AoE Knockup), Lulu (temporary DPS buff to ADC), and heal/harass (W mechanic is like Ryze E but heal/damage bounces and is very fun and difficult). Looking forward to release on Live, need a bit more ip before I can afford her.

It's not nerfing because it has not even gone live yet. Bitching about pbe balance changes like this is dumb. The purpose of the PBE is to test and tweak new content and possible content changes before it is released to the live server. GEESH.

You realize that this is what the pbe is for right? Make a tweak, test it out, make another tweak, test it out. They do this so that it will be as close to balanced as possible when it goes live.

You are taking two champions that fit two totally different roles and making comparisons that are not apt at all. Pantheon is an assassin and has much more burst than Shen. You forget that the passive on E gives 100% crit chance to low health targets, and that it activates on the Q. The Q is low mana cost all game long,the cost does not scale with level. The Q harass is much stronger than Shen Q at end game it chunks very hard. Pantheon is an assassin and to compare him to a tank and compare them based upon utility over damage will of course mean that Shen is better. I would 100% agree that Pantheon is not as strong a pick as Shen, but to say Pantheon is bad because Shen is super strong is not a valid way to go about it. Compare Pantheon with Talon, Wukong, Riven, And xin Zhao and you'll have a better comparison on your hands.

TL;DR, Shen will always be OP because his kit is too strong in damage/sustain/utility... This does not mean Pantheon is bad.

I think the argument is different with HoG than it is with boots because boots is one of a very limited group of items that greatly increase move speed. You can only pick one type of boot and if you want more MS than they provide, you need to build Zeal/PD, LB, or FoN, which are much more specialized for specific champs. Boots are for everyone. The issue is that HoG is an item that everyone in the game benefits from and it pays for itself over a period of time if you sell it back. By nerfing the HP it encourages only those who will eventually build it to Omen or Supports who want the gp10. That is the argument. If people were building it for the HP and not for the gold, there are MANY other better items to build that have build paths that are more ideal for the champ whether it is Warmogs, Aegis, Frozen Mallet.

The move speed boost both passive and active on W is strong and allows you to chase very well.

3:38 to level 4 with 1/2 life remaining with no leash is pretty darn good on blue route. Hate Spike is 10x better now that it is a line nuke.
