User blog:Texas Snyper/My thoughts on the latest patch.

Now that it has been out for a few days I figured that I would touch on this patch since it had some pretty big changes to it.

One of the biggest changes they had this patch was the price increase on the doran items. You can no longer buy a doran item + a pot at the start of the game. Instead you have to make a choice for a strong HP + stat item OR a cheaper stat item + pot for regen. I think that this was a good move for Riot. It makes the early game more strategic. It punishes those for early game mistakes because they cannot play it safe with regen pots + doran item. Either be squishier and get a pot or 2 OR get a sturdier doran item and be forced to play smarter. +1 from me

The next part was the HP and mana regen nerfs. When the go-to runes are the flat HP and mp5/lvl runes, there is obviously something not quite in balance. There is a reason why everybody gets these runes and that is because they provide the best bang for your buck. Just like the old doran item + pot, where is the choice in that? By nerfing these a little bit, the other runes become more viable choices and not red headed step children. Another +1

Just because I feel like throwing it in here, is now immune to disables. This means no more stuns and what nots. Boo Riot. -1

And, of course, lets look at the new champ for this patch:. I like how she plays and how different she is. Shes not another  ranged carry. Shes not a 2-3 champs thrown into a blender to get 1 out. She IS fun to play. She has great flavor and is quite unique IMO. She is a great support champ and is definitely worth the 3150 IP she costs.

Overall, I liked this patch. It brought in some new changes for the better and a fun new champ to play.
