Personally, this looks like a great set of changes to me. I'm super excited to see Kog'Maw and Annie updated to brawl with the new champions released. Part of me weeps for changes to Alistar, but we all saw it coming didn't we? Something about getting bursted down by something that takes no damage just didn't feel right. I'm satisfied with the Irelia nerfs, yet I wonder why they didn't alter the coefficients on her ultimate long ago. I think the just nerf to her ultimate's healing capacities will shift it from a defensive to proper offensive ability while alleviating pain she endures while rolling her face on the keyboard currently. the I'm also pumped they are nerfing Vayne. I really don't have a particularly good reason except she makes me rage so hard. She is the bane of tanks!
