Don't miss: Unofficial PBE Patch Notes for 3/26/2015
ETA of Ashe, Gangplank Reworks and More

@Meddler or any Rioter who would be in charge of this regarding Mordekaiser.When we do a visual upgrade for Mordekaiser we'll definitely want to make him look like he matches his origins (the Shadow Isles). Not sure what the timing on that will be, but we'll certainly want to work on him at some point, he does show his age visually.

Maybe this is dumb because I'm not ranked or anything so what do I know, but it seems like a strange balance idea to nerf Sej on one week due to the power of the newly released CinderHulk and then the following patch nerf CinderHulk (PBE) with no recompense to Sej.
We felt Sej was clearly too strong in 5.5, relative to other tank junglers in particular, and chose to remove some power from her as a result. We kept the 5.6 nerfs to her relatively minor since the state of the game's still adapting to Cinderhulk's introduction and she hasn't been a consistent, long running problem (though was definitely strong pre 5.5). Having had a bit more time now to assess Cinderhulk we also feel it's a little bit too strong. We're glad to see tanks being successful with it, but feel it's a bit too strong compared to other options. Current thinking is to drop it from 350 to 300 HP as a result.

Riot Games Support has been busy the last couple months working on a new project to help players troubleshoot problems with League of Legends. Today we're happy to release our first set of help videos!
This set of videos specifically focuses on one of the more prevalent causes for frustration: connection troubleshooting. Let’s be honest, wi-fi sucks, port forwarding sucks, and hell even accessing your router sucks. With these videos we hope to make complicated things easy. Our goal is for players to be able to solve a problem in an easy-to-follow and visual way, and also learn more about why problems are occurring in the first place.
You can watch these videos on the new Riot Support YouTube Channel and we'll also be embedding these videos in the support site soon.
In the near future more videos will be added to tackle a variety of problems, such as FPS optimization and crash prevention. We’re also working right now translating the videos into other languages, so that everyone can benefit from them.
We’ll hang out in this thread for a while, share your thoughts and feedback. :D
P.S. We know that not every issue is your fault, sometimes it's on Riot's end. That's why we have the Server Status page. When stuff breaks on our end, we hustle to fix it as quickly as possible. For everything else we want you to have the tools and help to fix your problem as quickly and easily as possible.

Posted Mar 26, 2015Ashe is getting a rework? I can understand gameplay, but visually? What's wrong with her now? Same with gangplank if he is to be getting a visual update, both seem like a waste since they look perfectly fine

Posted Mar 26, 2015Ashe is getting her passive reworked, right now it's a mystical instant trade win in the first bot lane ho-down, while it's a useless wasted passive once she has all the Crit+ items.
They also said they'd look at her Q or something to make it a little better, but I don't know what they're planning to do. Perhaps they're going to change the toggle part to passive and make the active something rather cool? They can definitely do more with Ashe.
Gangplank has already had a minor Visual Update a looooong while back, and it really made him look good if you ask me...but it's also one of if not the first Visual Update that ever came out, it's dated as well. I believe the changes are more about his Kit. Gangplank has a huge problem in how if he's too strong with Raise Moral, he's too powerful. His Raise Moral used to work more like Sivir's Ultimate and was down right required. When Jungle GP was big, he would just perma-farm the jungle and use his Ultimate to gank, only to become hell when a fed GP would bring more utility than the support through Raise Moral aiding in both initiation and escaping enemies, while his Ultimate would both deal tons of damage and force enemies to avoid an area. He often can sandwich an entire enemy team between his ultimate and his own team. This was extremely powerful back in season 1 and 2 before he got some big nerfs to make this less overpowering.
additionally, cc's like Knock Up's are far more common nowadays, so the Orange isn't as great.

Posted Mar 27, 2015Whatever they do to Ashe's passive or E, they will need new visuals. Imagine if her E changed from that to a single target super arrow (idk). Now they need new graphics for that and maybe new animations. Thats what he means with visual needs.

Posted Mar 27, 2015I'm pretty sure they meant new animation / particles to accomadate any ability changes NOT a total VU. Zilean got new animations and particles with his rework and it didn't include a new model.
tho honestly ashes model isn't great she's one of the earlier VUs and riots quality has gone up significantly since then. But other champs are worse so they should go first.
