    I'm actually excited about this Corki buff. Corki is my main adc next to Draven and I love him! Most people consider him too underpowered but he just has a high skillcap. I love the change to his Q because I like actually seeing the projectile. You can look at my Season 3 & 4 record with him as well as my rune page and mastery page for him. http://www.lolking.net/summoner/na/25420920

    Gragas ult nerf = Fair, it isn't over the board but it was needed and logical.

    Don't overlook the removal of the AD ratio on his E! Because of the free AD on his W, this was a significant nerf. That ratio was worth at least 45 damage per enemy hit.

    If those Teemo changes hit live AD Teemo will be the only viable option. The ult nerf is way to hard to his AP damage and now is only useful for utility.

    teemo should be reworked into a true marksman.

    People really underestimate AP teemo's poison damage. He can dish out a lot with just Nashor's Tooth. AP teemo will still be viable, he'll just require a bit better positioning and less random shrooms.

    It's true that his Toxic Shot does a freaking ton of damage, but you need to build a fair amount of AP which means you'll be super squishy.
    He needed that shroom damage to whittle enemys down to a point where he can kill them before they kill him.

    His winrate will drop dramatically till they fix this :/

    Actually GP has way higher level 1 hp because the value they are showing there is Ryze's level 1 hp. Gangplank's base hp on league wiki says 495 but this is considered "level 0". So at level 1, GP still has 576 base hp which is the highest.

    I understand Teemo had to take some sort of hit due to the lack of easy stealth reveal, but halving the ult ratio seems a bit strong. His ult just needs to flat out change. Almost useless in teamfight but too strong at mapcontrol

    Supports and Lee Sin should be really happy with that Sightstone buff. Price dropping to 800 from 950 is relatively huge. Remember when it first came out? It cost 700 and was considered to be extremely OP.

    Sightstone isn't seen as strong anymore due to the new ward limit. It was amazing back when there was no limit.

    Yay at last they did something to Ryze. +49 hp, +25 range on his Q and restroing mana on kill - sweeeeeeet, hope it will stay that way / something more will be changed.

    About those boots changes... damn I dont know what to  think about this, will need to test it out on PBE tomorrow.

    Ryze still needs help. I made a post about him further down. My thinking is, since Xerath no longer gets free MagPen because he is long range, shouldn't Ryze get that free MagPen since he is very short range?

    the two don't relate. Your logic is a little flawed. Champion design doesn't work that way.
