Ladder season one has concluded. The ratings will slightly carry-over, with the low elo players starting at just over 900, and the high elo players starting at ~1400, in season two.
The rewards were pretty weak. I'm not very jealous of the Jarvan skin, honestly. I hope they actually get the rewards worth playing for.
Is anyone else disappointed by the release of Skarner? Yeah, he is decent. He wasn't released incredibly OP. He wasn't released so underpowered that you don't even see one person doing well with him (a la Yorick release). He is just very... Blah? Lackluster. His ult is pathetic. It doesn't last long enough to do any real damage. The ult itself doesn't do any damage. It's just very nonthreatening. The biggest reason I thought it would be useful, was because I envisioned myself ulting someone and flashing back to a turret. The thing is, Alistar can flash in, headbutt someone much further, and THEN knock them into the air. Skarn's has less range, and flash is not usable while ulting. That's quite a bit underpowered, in my opinion.
On an upside, Pantheon seems to have gotten an even better buff than I had anticipated. I read the patch notes, saw that his HSS takes less than half the channel time, while doing more than double the damage, etc... But I still didn't see it being this big. I really enjoy the buff, personally, and I honestly hope they leave him alone now. He is back in the game. Riot, don't listen to the little nublets who may be whining in the forum about him being OP. He's pretty well balanced as is.
The Fiddle nerf seems to be pretty lackluster as well. He still has incredibly low cooldowns, so the very minor nerf didn't really harm him at all. Sure, he deals slightly less damage. He can still Q->W, E. Q->W, E. Rinse, repeat. Laning against him is near impossible. Defending against his ult is still the same; Get flash, you're fine. I think a bit of a revamp should be in order.
I had to laugh a bit. Two noobs the other night told me GP was getting "nerfed". I looked at the patch notes, and aside from making it so his ult once again grants creep kills + gold, his maximum number of grog stacks is now 3 (as opposed to 4). Wow, what a nerf ;) I never relied on grog stacks to kill anyone anyway. Sure it was like a level 1 ignite at level 18. However, I don't leave anything to luck. I will swing 50 times if they're at 1 hp just to ensure the opponent dies. Anyway, I thought that was funny. This was, of course, after I absolutely rolled their entire team with GP because they were too stupid to defend against GP.
Skarn has been released!
New changes include a minor Fiddle nerf, a huge Pantheon buff, and adjustments to a few more.
I for one have been waiting for the Pantheon buff since they over-nerfed him :) I'm hoping it is enough to put him back in the game!
