The preseason 3 patch

The pre-season update has been released. It involves A LOT of gameplay changes and tweaks without actually changing the game itself too much. And guess what? I love it. Even though they did remove a lot of classic and beloved items, revamped jungle enough to have to learn it fom the beginning all over again or added new, unique items or even changed the store in general. LoL still remains the same game with a lot of action and fun.
The new items.
 
One of the changes I love the most is, of course, the items. Updated the old ones and added a lot of new ones made the game more diverse and challenging while also keeping the balance. And although I do miss some of the old items, such as heart of gold (poor old heart of gold...), the new ones fill the void just as good (see what I did there?).
Check it out, try it out, and tell me what you think!

  1. In the beginning, I thought I would love the changes too. However, once I had a chance to put them into practice, my opinion quickly changed. Many of the items now involved provide silly effects which can ruin the flow the game really easily. But hey, I'm just a low elo player. What does my opinion matter?

    1. That's the point of the update, to change the flow of the game. Previously if one AD carry got farmed it became unstoppable, not everything can be turned around more easily. Failure of one lane doesn't lose the game.

  2. I love the new items. I love being able to play Nami and have a Sightstone that refreshes the amount of wards you can keep on you everytime you can go to the top, it saves a lot of money. Shard of True Ice is also something I love to get on Nami, as it still retains the passive gold ability (built from Kage's Lucky Pick). The Flask is generally good for early game, but I find that it doesn't heal enough as do potions, and I mostly need mana because I can just use a really good heal on myself or other allies. I love Liandry's Torment on Ahri and Teemo, as I both use Rylais Crystal Scepter on both of them, the burning effect is doubled, so it takes 10% of their current HP in 3 seconds! :D

    Haven't tried the others as I'm still quite new to the game and I would love to branch out to newer characters once I've gotten the hang of everything. Future characters I would love to learn would be LeBlanc, Katarina, Diana and Caitlyn :3
