What do you think of the jungle changes this patch? Do you approve of the balance changes to runes and champions in 8.10? Will you be buying any of the new skins or chromas? Let us know in the comments below![/quote]

[quote=AntiFaker]The jungle changes seems to be a bit hard for others. It makes the game a bit hard I guess. But I like the rework on Runic echoes (Because of the extra cooldown reduction and the mana.) It kinda helps AP Junglers a lot. :)[/quote]

[quote=Hamstertamer]So, um...buffing mage junglers, sure, but which mage junglers are viable in the first place? I'm pretty sure in practice it's just an [[evelynn]] buff. Another interesting thing is that upgrading to [[stalker's blade]] doesn't give anything valuable anymore. Mana regen is the same as talisman, damage is only 5 more than machete, and burn damage only upgrades from 60 to 80 (used to be 45). So keeping the basic jungle item (machete or talisman) should be more common.[/quote]

[quote=PsiGuard]Hey guys, I just found out that the change to [[Hextech Flashtraption]] wasn't supposed to be in the notes and isn't shipping in 8.10, so I've removed it from the post.[/quote]

[quote=Vapora Dark][quote]buffing mage junglers, sure, but which mage junglers are viable in the first place?[/quote] That's the whole point, it makes more mage junglers viable. If it makes [[evelynn]] in particular too strong then they just nerf her, no problem. Meanwhile other AP junglers become more viable without having to buff all of them individually and potentially making them overbearing in the other roles they can be played.[/quote]

[quote=abyssDevourer18]Anyone else think the upcoming Pulsefire skins look lit or what?[/quote]

[quote=Lady Amelyne]How is that making them more viable, though? Mage junglers such as Evelynn, Elise, Nidalee don't care about the CDR or mana regen. Nidalee caps out on CDR in her build anyway, Eve and Elise don't particularly need it and they won't specifically itemize for it. Aether Wisp was a lot more valuable to all of them. Remember how people would buy Frostfang earlier in the season -just- because of the movement speed proc.[/quote]

[[fiddlesticks]] is the only good holder of the new [[enchantment: Runic Echoes]]. Even on [[diana]] it's the same issue. So we're down to experimental stuff like jungle [[ekko]], [[fizz]] or [[karthus]], to actually use this item. For [[evelynn]], the whole point IMO is that you don't upgrade [[hunter's talisman]] anymore. Since talisman now gives the full benefits of the upgraded jungle item, so why waste 650 gold for an upgraded smite. Early protobelt or spellbinder = more pressure.[/quote]

[quote=Lady Amelyne]Oops, thought you were actually suggesting they were buffing them with this. But yeah, forgot about Fiddles, though I'm honestly not even sure how he builds now lol. Don't think that would actually be good, though, upgraded smite is still really valuable. Regarding Eve in general, people do different builds on her, but early Morello is probably the most efficient one. Dark Seal + Revolver + Sheen is also really strong early on. However, exp changes are pushing the meta in favor of skirmish junglers, and Eve can't really deal with them in the earlier stages of the game.[/quote]

[quote=Hamstertamer][quote=Lady Amelyne]Oops, thought you were actually suggesting they were buffing them with this. [/quote] I meant that's what they wanted, not that they actually ended up doing this XD [quote=Lady Amelyne] Regarding Eve in general, people do different builds on her, but early Morello is probably the most efficient one. [/quote] Morello, efficient? You know that Morello is literally the exact same stats as the old liandry without the liandry burn, right? [quote=Lady Amelyne] Dark Seal + Revolver + Sheen is also really strong early on. [/quote] Sounds pretty solid. Probably the highest early burst. [quote=Lady Amelyne] However, exp changes are pushing the meta in favor of skirmish junglers, and Eve can't really deal with them in the earlier stages of the game.[/quote] She's pretty quick at killing scuttlecrabs tho. But good question, which specific junglers do you think this meta favors?[/quote]
