Patch 5.5 discussion

http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/patch/patch-55-notes

personally interested in jungle now with all the new updates and reduced damage.

Veigar change to his E in 5.4 and now reduced casting speed change in 5.5 should make him more viable.

New 120 ap item should go well with my ahri build gonna check her out (also nidalee/kassadin)

I skipped over the jungle changes when i first read the patch, thanks for mentioning that Much needed jungle nerfs however, those camps were simply ridiculous.

Bard is well... Interesting. Compared to other supports i think he's pretty useless tbh. I guess I may be underestimating him though.

Bard is nothing but an ult at the moment from what I've seen. Also, he's very high skill cap and, to me, high risk medium-ish reward. You choose to roam, it goes well, profit. Bard is OP!! OR you choose to roam, you die, you're behind on an already difficult to play champion, you most certainly will not have a good time lol.

Also, I see Bard struggling when your team is behind in general. All those coins require vision and map control, if you're forced into your base due to early objective pressure..not sure exactly how negatively impactful that will be to Bard.

Jungle - Nothing too exciting. I know we're moving towards a more tanky jungle but I don't plan to change my jungle pool. If anything, maybe play a bit more Voli. I've always found him fun but never that great. I've been watching a lot of Nightblue though and it seems like Voli is going to be better than ever in this upcoming patch!

 

Haven't played a lot of games on the new patch but I think Shyvana might be pretty strong in the jungle now. I'm gonna try her out some more.
The new AP item looks good, especially for Ahri, Kat, TF.
Bard is fun to play with I guess, and his kit has a lot of potential, but nobody really knows how to play him yet. All the Bards I've been in games with have just tunneled on collecting chimes and keep getting caught out

 

Sejuani was already a viable pick, now with new item she'll be top tier. She was considered in the top tier but that shit will be broken lol.

I've played 2 games with a Bard on my team and they didn't benefit much at all tbh. They ulted several targets that would've been kills but instead they got away. Time will come for some typical guide to improve Bard play.

Also, anyone worked with Kassadin this patch? Saw his range got extended a little bit.

played multiple games with sej already and he has dominated every game so far...

Can anyone explain the point of riot nerfing Lissandra's q damage by like 5? I don't think that is the problem and does it even affect her at all? I would think they would nerf the amount of cc she has.. Not remove 5 damage from her q which she can spam every 2 secs

Too much wave clear. In top lane she would immediately be able to push your turret extremely fast. If she got ganked she could just e out. Way too save of a lane.

I understand that but I'm saying that nerfing her q damage by 5 isn't going to change much or stop her from being able to push like a monster

yeah really pointless imo, might as well make the ability have a higher cooldown

Yeah I'd say Q remains the same damage as it is on the live game but has a base cd of 4 at max rank and cd, and her W root duration is decreased while her E range is increased slightly, rito hire me pls
