Good patch overall. Darius, Galio, Jax, Shen, Nautilus and Urgot nerfs were pretty tiny and I don't think they adressed the right things if you wanted to really nerf them. Seems more like they just wanted to try and change something without having to worry about overnerfing. Swain buffs are pretty big, he will definitely see some play now. AD Kog doesn't mind having his ult nerfed that much (still a nerf though) but AP Kog won't be as powerful as before. I also don't see the point behind the Nocturne/Renekton changes.

I hoped the patch would change Urgot's damage rather than his tankyness. Riot has said that if a champion is only made for harassing others out of the lane then that must be changed (this was said when discussing Yorick, I believe it was after he was picked up by some pro solo top players such as TRM). So far there are only a few of such champs (Garen/Pantheon/Yorick for top, Urgot for all lanes) that fall of lategame hard enough that you can say their only strength is their lane dominance. Right now the only popular champion out of those is Urgot and this nerf is not going to make him picked any less. -40 shield strength and -10 armor/MR is not a bad tradeoff for competely dominating your lane and still being able to pull off a full tank team (that M5 has used in the past: Ryze mid, Lee jungle, Irelia top, Alistar/Urgot bot).
