"Barely viable" in Olaf's case put him at the lowest win rate in the game. Evelyn's "barely viable" put her at "if you pick this champion expect to get reported" tier. This is exactly what they did to Rengar. He's going to be borderline unplayable for an unknown period of time before his revamp. If they are going to do something like that they should just refund the champ for everyone along with the nerfs so people can decide if they want to pick them back up.
See: Karma. I think she was the queen of neglected for the longest time.

So I have only played Xerath a couple of times and those were in ARAM (basically a free win ala Lux, Ziggs, Fiddle). A week or so ago I played him, dominated, and had 6 items when I noticed on my character sheet that I had like 68% Magic Pen + a Flat 38(?) Magic Pen (I had Sorc boots, Liandry, and Void Staff) and I was 100-0'ing their carries from our back like with only TWO parts of my three-part ult. So yeah, true damage aoe nukes from the fog of war that can delete the enemy carry(s) is begging to be nerfed.

Be careful of signing any contract with machinima. They have been known to screw streamers via their contract terms.

FINALLY!

Changed my name from "so Ravishing" to just "Ravishing"... Been waiting for this for a long ass time. The previous owner of "Ravishing" was a level 10 account that managed to be immune from the last 2 name cleanses since they only cleansed names below level 10.

Just picked up StaplesEzButton. Going to type "That was easy" after each kill to see how much rage I can get.

Fuck. just played a game as Yasuo and discovered a major bug that affects how I play him. By making his Q quick cast by default they fucked up some shit. I posted the bugs here:
Yasuo Q is broken. - League of Legends Community

I actually lost my lane because I was not use to playing with it this way. My team still won the game in a miraculous comeback, and I actually got fed and started doing well myself, but fuck. Playing him did not feel smooth at all whereas prior to this patch he felt really good.

I think Cass' and Karthus' Qs work the same way, because of how the abilities are designed. I actually thought that's how Yasuo's Q was as well, as I can't stand that cast range indicator delay. Only way to get around it with Cass/Karth is to actually click on the ability icon, which obviously isn't great for anything aside from getting a visual really early on learning the character.

Yea, Cass & Karthus examples were brought up and here was my response:

"I assume they made it default to Quick Cast to ease newer players into the champion (clicking 2x to use a spammable Q is not user friendly). His Q should work the same for us players that have always had it set to Quick Cast, imo, especially since his Q is a Skillshot and not a targeted ability like Cass's Q. Karthus is a skillshot but again it differs in that Karthus doesn't have a different affect on the 3rd cast whereas Yasuo's whirlwind is a pivotal skill in his kit and it is necessary to have precision when using it."



Ive always used Quick Cast for his Q and it should work the same regardless if it's on by default or not. The biggest issue isn't the ranged indicators but the fact you can't "aim" anymore. When chasing an opponent I would hold Q and try to finesse the angle of my whirlwind before releasing, now it is just "click and pray" (with a split second to make aiming decisions)

Cass' Q isn't targeted, it's a delayed groun AE, exactly the same as Karthus.

I would actually prefer they just treat all abilities equally. I don't use range indicators, as I said (because no matter what anyone says, there IS a delay), but I have dumb cast bound to shift + QWER, so that's how I would like to 'aim' Yasuo's Q. I understand their reasoning in making those 3 abilities all smart cast by default, but disabling people from using them differently is ass backwards.

Edit: Although I would say with less than 10 games played of Yasuo, I already am within a couple units of range of knowing when my Q will hit or not. I don't actually miss the range indicator on it as much as I thought I would. The whirlwind is just a line, the range I'm less sure on but it goes so far I usually know if it'll hit or if it's in the 'maybe' range. Otherwise I just treat it like every other skillshot and use my mouse cursor as my crosshair.

Oh I havent played Cass in a long ass time, I thought you were talking about her Twin Fangs which I thought were also quick cast on default, but maybe they arent? Anyway... I know everyone plays different but I like to have as much information & control as possible. LoL is NOT a twitch based game in most cases so for me not saving the 1000ths of a second from having indicators on is worth the information gain.

LCS:
Fanatic looking real good and SK Gaming went from bad LCS team to trash tier. I can't see SK lasting past the Spring Split. Without their core players they seem worse than a lot of the Challenger teams

So I've been trying Zilean mid/support for 3-4 days now (I think I've gotten 3 full games in, and 2 games I had to leave because of my daughter always waking up). I probably won't play him except for some normal troll games mid.

I still think Viktor is a decent Support. Not god tier, but still good.

Been waiting to try kha out for awhile now. Hot damn this guy is fun to play, I get fed early and its pretty much game over, nothing like jumping to 2-3 different people and just deleting them off the map. Definitely picking this guy up after free week.
