League of Legends is a big game, 15 million big to be specific. It's also an e-sport and not just the kind of "e-sport" that gets thrown around in PR hype before a new PvP game release. League of Legends e-sport scene is the real deal with it's latest championship garnering over 1 million live viewers. When any game commands that large of an audience, let alone a game as competitive as League of Legends, any changes to the game's balancing must be explained in great detail.

Players are passionate about what they feel is "true" balance in their eyes. So when Riot Games announced their planned changes for the third season of League of Legends, they had to create an indepth overview video complete with a chapters menu! The devils in the details and both Riot and their fans know it.

The video features Riot's Associate Game Analyst "Jatt" and Lead Designer "Morello" who cover three main topics: Items, The Jungle and Masteries.

This game is awesome. Excited to see the new UI and shop changes that weren't needed but are definitely some great luxuries. Don't know how I feel about how leashing works now, but everything else seems great. Nice to have the Machete for a little early jungling power. Some questionable item nerfs (no more super-bane-of-mage tanks, I'll miss you Force of Nature) :*( but also some great new items and changes to previous ones. Overall a great update and I can't wait to see what's coming up this season.

Taunting isn't that special, but what he is trying to prove is that Riot games spends more time designing assassins and other classes than tanks, and I agree as well. None of the champs are op at the moment, your just not counter picking. The game is pretty good over all but the thing that sucks most about it is the community. If you do something wrong or your just beginning I actually recommend that you ignore (/ignore "insertplayername") everyone in everygame that you play because you will get raged and flamed at HARD. Even if its not your fault, prepare to get reported for dieing 1 more time than the guy that is raging you. Most of the people that play this game are a bunch of 12 year olds that play COD and think that kills make you a good player.

~ Good luck Noobies, its a hell of a learning curve.

League of LEgends is nothing but: LEague of Teemo, ashe, "insert two assasins" and the 5th is useless whatever. Gauranteed win. The third patch address nothing and this company is garbage. One little tweak to make teemo at least more skill based is make his darts NON AUTO TARGETING, make them so you have to line up your shot and fire.
I think the best example of how OP the classes are. I played against a team that was balanced, and they were murdering us with 21/7 etc... I had 2/20 and my team mates 7/25 etc....(kills/death) AND WE WON! bawhhwwh and all we did was zerg the top lane the last phase, lvl 18, teemos OP kept people out of range, the assins just charged and over hyped the towers and win.

The big problem next patch is awarding speed. This game is already favoring assasins over mele and tanks. They 100s of chars, only 4 tanks and only 2 can taunt. This is bad and shows this is really assasin vs assasin game...plus teemo LOL!

Mounted!

Now that that's out of the way, I gotta say... I am so excited about these changes. Can't wait to see how it revamps the gameplay. I'll probably end up actually jungling after this.
