Early August Patch

Posted on at 8:42 PM by Moobeat

Everyone over at Riot is currently prepping for the deployment of the Early August patch. At around 1:00 AM PDT today, August 1st, servers will be coming offline and the patch will be deployed. The patch will include Diana's assests, but she will be released at a later time.

"Pending the completion of some further testing on PBE, Diana will be released at a future date"
There is nothing surprising about Diana's delayed release. We saw the same thing with Zyra and more or less the same thing with Jayce. As they both seemed to be fairly successful launches when handled this was, could this be Riots new way of doing things?

Anyway, here are the patch notes ( noticeably free of  any extra skins ):

  1. Woo, we still have Finales Funkeln! If they're going to change it, at least make it LAZOR BEAM or something.

    1. Don't celebrate yet. The Tooltip update for Lux could be their way of trying to sneak it through.

    1. You know that "Finales Funkeln" is german and means "final sparkling"?
      So why do you want to keep the german name?

      Delete
    2. Because Infinite Light is not even a close tradcution of Finales Funkeln. That change was kind of stupid.

    3. Yush at least make it Master Spark to keep the Touhou ref and translation.

  3. Im surprised no one is happy about Brand buff, it has needed champion priority for awhile now :P

    1. I like the buff but its not enough to drag him out of "do not pick" territory.

      most APs bring just as much damage as brand, but they also bring sustain, tankyness, team utiliy, or greater CC.

      brand needs to cover atleast 2 more of those categories to be pick worthy.

      Delete
    2. Brand is still pretty amazing, even if he only has 1 stun. If the team comp is right, Brand can dish out more pain and destruction than other APs can.

  4. Kinda Expected that Brand buff and Xin nerf. Im only surprised that they still haven't fixed the plethora of problems on dominion including the flash/ flash esque move glitch. This Blog however is great and I can only hope my own blog turns out this good.

    2. you know they explained why they're nerfing hi., before the flamethrower did not hit well and now it does, going more dmg. he did too much damage, they're reverting that, the only thing is his q hits more.

      Delete
    3. But hes worse than before. Riot just didnt like the fact, that hes the Champ with the best w/l rate. And they shut down another Malphite counter.. There are many Champions, that should be changed, rumble wasnt that necessary.

  7. Yay, let's nerf one of most underplayed and disliked by community champion. BUT LET'S BUFF BRAND!
