Late August Patch Preview

[Tardar]

As far as I'm can tell, mostly "duh" changes.

[Mega]

These changes make me happy ^_^

[Kenzor]

Glad they're nerfing Graves again, too bad he'll probably still be a retarded safe easy strong pick with everything in his kit.

Good that they nerfed Corki but not in a way that hurts his damage.

Good that they're trying to make AD Ezreals level Q before W first but they're doing it the wrong way, that attack speed debuff is still too good.

Diana got nerfed, like I expected.

[Uncharted]

i was pretty sure ezreal's W wasnt leveled till past 13? maybe one point on it at 4 but i always leveled R>Q>E>W

That's what people were doing up until recently when they discovered that leveling W was much more efficient for reasons stated in the patch preview and the insane attack speed debuff making it pretty much a free win in trades.

W: ignores minions, AoE, giant hitbox, huge base damage, huge attack speed slow, MAGIC DAMAGE.
Q: you'll never be able to hit it unless you're right in their face.

[Tardar]

Though all of these changes are good, I don't think any of them will affect which AD carries are picked. I mean, Ashe and MF are still complete trash compared to Graves and Ezreal. Which reminds me that MF really needs some kind of rework since she's been struggling for a long while now (what the hell are those mana costs, seriously).

[Riolu]

How did ezreal start being considered top tier?

[Kenzor]

Aggressive support meta = amazing synergy with Ezreal's early game.

He still has one of the hardest fall offs late game of any champ though.

[Uncharted]

it's his E, that skill is annoying plus as said above his early game is pretty dam strong.
arcane shift can be caster (or seemingly) after getting stunned / hooked, like u hook him and he arcanes shifts away without having him dragged... not sure if that's how it is supposed to work or it's a bug

Or maybe it's just the fact that his W has a deceptively large hit box, high base damage, and goes over minions. His E isn't even skilled heavily early. zzzzz

[Kenzor]

Yes it's his W, but Uncharted makes a good point, lately there has been an influx of Blitzcrank players; good or bad it doesn't matter as long as you land 1 grab out of 9000 you WILL turn the game around.

Ezreal's E counters (thanks to server side lag unfortunately) all these Blitzcrank players.
