While there were some aspects that I didn't like about the patch, I think it was overall a decent patch.

The minor rework on Jarvan was a good call; I never would have thought to change it like this, but in retrospect, I think it makes more sense for it to scale with level and to deal physical damage instead of magic damage.

The bugs with Leona were obviously overpowered, so it's a good thing that Riot fixed them... even though it was in dominion only. Bug fixes are always nice, I don't think anyone will complain about them.

And finally, Sivir is viable! Probably the best part of the patch. She's needed a buff for a long time. I still think that Yi, Mundo, and Evelynn need reworks/buffs, though... oh well, it's a good start.

Volibear actually seems balanced, unlike most champions which are OP when released (with the exceptions of Yorick, Skarner... etc).

I'm not sure about how the new jungle will work, but in theory, it sounds like a good idea. Riot gave some buffs to experience to make jungling easier, but also did some nerfs to potions/wriggles so as to not make jungling TOO easy. We'll see how it turns out, it could really go either way.

There are two things that I dislike, though: Katarina and Karthus. Katarina was more versatile when she had the ability to choose where to appear; as Morello said a few previews prior, it allows more skilled Katarina players to contribute more to teamfights in a minor way. As for Karthus, I've had the sense for a while now that he's a balanced champion. The Wall (not Pink Floyd, mind you) is going to be a lot less useful due to its inability to reapply itself. Nerfing the duration from 7 seconds to 5 seconds was fine, but if you're going to do that, then it should be able to reapply itself. Now, after being nerfed, it really seems less useful. And if you think about it logically, running through this magical force field multiple times isn't going to have any effect? I think it would make more sense if it slowed you whenever you pass through it... well, I don't know, this IS a fantasy game, so who am I to say.

TLDR: Decent patch, I think new jungling may or may not be a good rework, most things that they did were good, but the minor Katarina and Karthus nerfs were unneeded.
