Guest Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Small rundown of the Marksman item changes, courtesy of Riot Reinboom on the Boards. Infinity Edge is slightly weaker now (little less AD), we shifted power elsewhere so it's less automatic and so that we could add cooler things to the Marksman space. Essence Reaver scales its CDR off of your critical strike chance so that it works as a big core item (think IE space). It can now give upwards of +30% CDR. Phantom Dancer does stuff other than just be straight up damage. Bonus movement speed while near your opponents and you take less damage from the last champion you hit. Isolate and kill people, basically. Rapid Firecannon charges up like Shiv, but when charged instead of prepping you for the thunder, increases your attack range and gives you a fiery hit at the end. Shiv does even more damage versus minions. It's specialized further into being the bursty clearing tool. Hurricane now crits and the bolts crit. Also movement speed. It's in the PD / Shiv space now, so it should be an option for more Marksman. Executioner's Calling is back, but it's a bit different and cheaper. Also it's a component item. It builds into something new. Last Whisper is now a component item. It builds into new things. There's something called Giant Slayer. It hurts health dudes. Merc scimitar has Lifesteal, you should feel comfortable taking it over BT. Death's Dance exist. It has something like Lifesteal but better. Also it "delays" damage. Quote

Dark Desire Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 might better your chances if you flood in some ADC games Quote
Another Felix Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Apparently there are a LOT of new items coming. http://imgur.com/a/lCnx5 Not listing them all, so take a look yourself. Not sure it it's true though, but if it is, hot damn. Also kind of pissed that Twitch and Tristana got nerfed. Twitch's ult is down from 7 seconds to 5, and Tristana lost most of how her moves interacted with each other, so Q no longer lowers cooldown when hit target marked by E, nor is E cooldown reduced when using Q. But Vayne of all champs got buffed. Her Silver Bolts take more percent health now. Quote
Shamitako Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Ohey, Staff of Flowing Water reappeared Quote

Shanco Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Generally, the MAIN criteria for getting into the PBE is player behavior. But they do try to pick from each tier of ranked somewhat evenly, so as long as you've been behaving well, your chances are pretty good, but your chances are even better if you're ranked and higher than Bronze.

I'm generally a good boy and I'm in gold. I still don't expect much Quote

Hell, twitch has resets on stealth now and if you ask me that's not ok Also, while behavior is a factor as to whether or not they accept you, they'll also accept you at a different time if they feel you're more suited to help with certain things. Like I'm an adc main, and my application to the PBE was approved during time Kalista was on the PBE because they knew as an ADC main I would probably be able to understand her more. Quote
Neo Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 45% CDR frome the utility tree is so nice. Expect more Annie support now that she can keep Tibbers up permanently. Quote

You couldn't do that before? It always felt like he was constantly up to me. The limiting factor on her initiation has always been Flash for me Quote
Guest Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Supports also have room for more items due to sightstone and Gold Regen items being mixed together into Eye of the X items. Quote

Support Squad Felicity Posted October 29, 2015 Support Squad Posted October 29, 2015 so yesterday I played a game with a friend new to the game as I try and rope more people into playing with me in a call. I nearly cried when he started evolving as Kha'zix mid combat and yelled "FEAR ME, I HAVE WINGS!" Dear lord was it hilarious. Oh, and intro bots are so easy now. I got a penta with morgana on it lol.
