Wards cost less now, go out and ward em jungles!
Don't be cheap and play the game smart!

Monster experience range reduced to 800 from 1250
MORE ZONING GO GO GO

Huh, so they wanted to stop the solo-ing of Baron/Dragon and I think this patch very well may have done it. Don't think that a bit of extra AD to Leblanc is gonna help but meh, whatever helps me last hit better. Random *** BC nerf. Yay 2 Zhonya's items. Sucks that zoning with gay champs early game might become the new way to play because of the exp range decrease. Although those lanes are gay enough already, now the lane with more zoning power will have to ward more while the pushed lane has to have a jungle or else lose. Finally the turret does true damage, it was weird seeing Alistar go ULT HURRR GG. But just a bit of a pet peeve. Liking the reduced cost on ward and also the buffs to Udyr. No opinion on Irelia but it'd be nice to see more of her in-game. Also, me likey Olaf buff :)

Overall I rate the patch a 9/10

B-Wong, only the fountain turret does true damage, which, if they're going to walk into your fountain, you're probably going to lose anyway :P

BC didn't really get nerfed since it gives AS and AD now, less damage but faster attacks especially with its armor debuff effect? It's moreso buff than nerf imo

Exactly. I like it :)

Yay Cassie buffs!

Black Cleaver now gives AS? BUH WUAAHT?

Dragon and Baron are going to be harder to kill in early-mid game now... I think thats a good thing.


Does this mean fountain turret or nexus turrets?

fountain. pool/fountain/shrine/shop same difference.

i don't think theres anything i hate in this patch. good job riot.

"Does this mean fountain turret or nexus turrets?"

Fountain is a reference to DotA, where a fountain of healing will fire fireballs when enemies get too close into your base. Being a DotA player, I will call it fountain turret on instinct :3 it's the base turret or whatever it's called in LoL

I call it a Spawning Pool. Get ready for dem lings.

I don't know the real term for it so I call it the godlazer.

for the second time, its the pool/fountain/shop tower.
