I feel like this just has been on every garen player's mind since the dawn of time: Can we please just have his ult scale with, or EVEN USE attack damage? just have it physical damage.. makes sense? you're rewarded for sticking on a target with spin. you apply your black cleaver stacks, or you've built that LW, you're ult should reward you for it. even if it has lower damage early, lower base idc. it needs relevance. there are so many ults that do the same thing but better and are NOT blocked by a hexdrinker lol.

garen is not bad, actually for a normal solo queue he's more than op, just people failing to adapt his playstyle, the simplest champions are the hardest, trust me

That's because you haven't seen him in the LCS or something... if you start to see him like sejuani or even urgot then suddenly he'll be good, i get the point, that's fine.

No, garen's just shit. He's good in gold and lower because people don't know how to abuse a shitty pick like him.

Urgot is not GOOD, he's a niche pick, and one with a very high skill ceiling.

Sejuani has always been good, she's being picked because cinderhulk meta is crazy, not because she's amazingly broken op, which she was for a while.

Garen literally does not and will not ever fit the pro meta unless they give him a total rework that involves hard cc or a gapcloser. The day Garen falls into the pro meta again is the day that Teemo rises from the grave and starts being in the pro meta again.

I really hope they haven't gone overboard with Bard buffs.

In particular I disagree with magical journey costing 0 mana. IMO high utlity spells should always have a mana cost attached.

Why don't they make bard a fully manaless champion.

Give him resets per assists on his portal too maybe.

Wow! Is Rito serious with these Heca nerfs? I'm fine with hp regen nerfs since W takes care of that, but mp regen nerfs to a mana hungry jungler with no mana sustain itemization? He isn't even that strong to begin with the way you can hardly snowball as a jungler anymore.

Well, there is a reason for a mana sustain or big mana pool itemization. You sacrifice Damage/Tankiness for more mana. The other way around: When you go only Damage, then there must be a drawback.

I presume you don't watch LCS, or you wouldn't be saying this. He is a very stong toplaner atm.

Strange how much they're trying to work around trist and her E. I wonder if this nerf is there because they intend to bring out the do X more damage per percent of crit chance.

They actually un-did that buff. Instead they made it so her Q goes down by 0.5/1 second (monster/champs) when she attacks things when her Q is activated.

EDIT: Her E, not her Q. I typo'd.

Now remember her Q already lowers its own cooldown if she attacks the target she placed her E on. So if this change goes through her Q+E combo just ends up letting her do the same combo sooner.
They're trying to definitely tune her into the reset carry they wanted to rework her to be.

Noone care about Garen...

Bard takes buffs until he gets played and then everything get nerfed after he got played in LCS and the lowtierplayers learn how to play him...

Rest are casual buff and nerfs, Hecarim doesnt need nerfs he never gets played, now where someone picks him, he got nerfs... gj rito ... Hecarim is fine! Darius needs other changes than his manacosts from his ult. >.> His ult and his grab are the only fine skills, better change the rest.
