It's not really a change, but more so an "update".

It's a straight up buff. Her first stun comes earlier, the rest take the same amount of spells.

I wouldn't call it a straight up "Buff" if it's only a one-time thing every game...

*Every life. Her charges reset each time she dies. Even so, it's something that helps occasionally and never hurts - a buff. There is literally no downside to it, and now she can full combo someone and immediately stun them instead of needing to use a spell first. That's pretty important.

...I think you're misinterpreting the "update."

She still has to attack 4 times to build up her stun. The only thing that's different is the number of charges you see in your buffs and debuffs section, which doesn't matter anyways because the total amount of charges has been reduced.

Bread boy is correct actually. If you don't have a charge built up, which will always be true every time you come back from death/start the game, you have to go the full mile. Assuming you gained a charge on your next stun every time you cast a stunning spell, you'd only have to expend a fraction of effort to regain the stun before.

Huh. I guess I am misreading things.

Varus stuff

An early point in Blighted Quiver helps harass enemy champions and get killing blows on minions.
During short range fights it's sometimes best to fire Piercing Arrow quickly, rather than charging it to full power.
Try to take advantage of Piercing Arrow's very long range to snipe at enemy champions before a fight or as they're tryng to flee.

Varus stuff

[MasPan]

Varus should have some negative hidden passive whenever he's around non-Yordle women/Annie. That scarf...

[KajitiSouls]

So it seems like there were a couple ninja changes that got through.
-- You can no longer spam emotes, except /dance. Emotes also interrupt your current champion's phrases. For example, when moving places while spamming /laugh, Fizz might say "They won't ca- lolololol".
-- You can switch back to the old UI stuffs. While not as good as the current UI stuffs, it probably gets rid of the obnoxious caps announcements.

Also, word on the street is that Karthus and Kog'Maw can become untargetable thanks to their passives. So broken. Someone even mentioned to me in a normal game last night that I looked like some sort of walking garbage bag. Based on what I've seen so far, the major crux of the problem lies in effects and buffs not terminating properly. Garen with Ignite, Courage, and Decisive Strike on all at once, even though all of that should clearly be on CD? Oh boy!

[Razmos]

Varus sounds like my kinda champion!

But those pants, good god.
(I think this is also maybe the first ever fanservicey male champion, i don't think they've drawn any other males quite that nude)

Trust me to notice something like that, honestly.

[Dredragon]

I wish all his skills were all AD or AP. I guess that would be kinda op though.

[Razmos]

Urhhhh, is it always this bad after patches?

Spoiler

Just a moment my ass.

No. In the earlier days though, yes xD

IIRC, a number patches before the Hecarim patch were relatively bug-free. The Hecarim patch is the first bug-filled patch LoL had in roughly 6-7 months (I think).

EU is a bit pineappleed up at the moment, but a while back you used to have queues like that every day for months before Riot split Eu into EUW & EUNE

Pretty sure bugs are causing whats happening now though, like Will said.

Varus looks exceedingly fun.
Looks like building Phantom Dancers, or any attack speed item for that matter, might be redundant. The description on his passive makes it sound like it applies to minions as well, so unless it's a piddling amount, he'll hit speed cap easily within a couple attacks.

I don't think it stacks, and it's only half-strength if you're getting the buff from minions.

Shut up shut up shut up shut up.
Doesn't change the fact that he looks really fun.
When is he supposed to be released?
I would guess this tuesday/wednesday, but I don't really know.

His data is complete so Varus could theoretically be released the way Viktor was.

I'm assuming that's just by announcing that he's released and opening creation.
I would be okay with that, especially if they did it this weekend.
