    Faced a bruiser Sona top today as Garen. Her poke was so damn annoying. It was like playing vs an AD/AP Nidalee up top. She had so much sustain, endless poke, and couldn't burn through her after she got her Giants Belt at all.

    Massive lane bully...

    Ranked game dodged:

    In select: tbh the "chat" sounds like a bunch of 12 year olds scrapping in the playground. I am preparing to dodge anyway.

    I get support role I ask for - no real surprise. Guy locks ADC and starts spamming very rudely that I HAVE to take Leona, because it's the only support he will lane with. Well, yeah, no. I politely decline and point out I didn't tell him what to play, and that I Leona isn't a support I play well. At which point him and 2 others start calling me a noob because sona is bad (didn't even counterpick myself or anything silly and I main sona) and why didn't I just L2P Leona. Really...

    Also another surfacing trend is first picks who lock a random support without asking and start screaming at me when I either don't have what they want for a trade, or that I point out that I don't even own those supports (taric / alistar). I wouldn't dream of locking in a role without consulting the person I wanted to swop with, then throwing a hissy fit at them when they don't want my choice or don't have my character to swop. It's something I see often enough I fear it's becoming a "thing" though. If people want to trade with a support to avoid counters, ask your support first, don't just lock a random support without asking, and presume they have what you want. That ain't how it works.

    Oh god I feel you bro.. I could just imagine that game... I bet the team was complaining "lolo garen noob!! its just sona!!!" . They don't understand man, they will never understand!

    Ahhhh Sona. Favourtie support by far. Get dat philo stone, and atleast another faire charm + mastery mana regen and you've got enough mana regen to spam all your spells into a Q+passive AA for massive poke on the enemy. All of this without going oom aslong as play smart.

    By taking Q>W>E while getting all three at lvl 3 you can do so much dmg and healing.

    They were actually. Although, the guy that was telling me I was sucking, was actually losing his lane as Katarina vs Brand because "he is ranged u noob". Lane phase ended with about the same amount of CS, Sona having a bit more, but I had 3-4 kills by that time from roaming.

    Been number 1 in my division for 2 wins and still not up for promotion? In fact no-one in my division has been up for a promote for an hour or more...

    nvm figured out why

    Only being able to jump in front of you is a balance reason as well tho.

    somehow I like that it works how it does, but when you somtimes have to jump over ledges which require you to be almost inside them, while looking straight towards it, and you've got a big ass opponent there aswell, it'd be nice to have it the other way simply because it's friggin impossibru clicking properly T_T

    Indeed he was. Didn't we get a double jungle, and an AD Alistar after that? Must've been our best day so far in normals.

    How badly is Vi getting nerfed in the next patch? I know its still in the PBE, but it seems like they're hitting her hard, from base AD of 58 to 50, and the % on W. Anyone knows?

    In addition to that base AD nerf, the W % health damage is being reduced to 4/5.5/7/8.5/10%, down from 6/7/8/9/10%, which is a nerf to her early game antics. There were some R nerfs on several PBE builds, but those appear to have been reverted because they see the % health damage and her base damage as the problem, not the ult damage.

    Damn seems like a rather hefty nerf overall. Most Vi's leave W at lvl 1 till the end right? She's meant to deal dmg, and if they're nerfing that badly then i don't know what will she be good for then.

    That next patch will bring about Garen, Taric, Riven and Vi nerfs, which is coincidentally the heroes i play most.

    Why do you want W to be lvl1? Her Q is worthless outside of being second gap-closer/initiation instrument, and means of finishing W combination. I never had to use Q twice in early/mid game in teamfight/gank situations and its damage compared to AS + damage burst from W sucks.
    Anyway, even if you leave W on level 1, how is this nerf (2% of max health as phis. damage) is gamebreaking?
    If you assume that target have 2k health at level 11 (mid game with sunfire) and 100 armor W will deal:
    Pre nerf: 120 damage (66,6 after passing dented armor)
    After nerf: 80 damage (44,4 after passing dented armor)
    You can add AD scaling on W here, ArP marks+quints, ArP items and so on, but still, this nerf won't make Vi useless.

    And since when bruisers started to be a pure DD? I always thought that Vi is picked for her disrupting Ult, ArP debuff, not being useless while skills on CD, but not for damage from W.

It's a great ability, but it works a lot better at rank 1 than her other abilities.
    I don't need it every 8 seconds to kill an enemy, and to catch a sneaky enemy (Ez for example), and maxing W gives you 20% more AS after engaging fight (Q into auto-attack into E)
    And if you are out of your target for 8 seconds (CD of Q at max rank) you won't catch him again. And skill-shot based gap closers don't help you to stay on target. If you miss it/got blocked/enemy flashed away from it, you are fucked, and have only Ult to catch him, you don't have time to wait for Qs CD. Currently, you need someone else to keep your target in place (or your target don't try to get away).

    It's a nerf to jungle anyway, Junglers max E first for faster clear and lizard procs. It's to make her ganks a bit less brutal.

    Tarics getting buffed isn't he? Damage-wise at least unless I read the notes totally wrong.

    He's getting nerfs to his support ability, due to his W armor aura now being based on a percentage of his armor (12%) instead of a fixed number on live. Also, his passive has been changed to his AAs dealing bonus magic damage based on his maximum mana, instead of regenerating mana on AAs.
