    i really hate it when gaming companies dont give us full patch notes. i know you guys got all the changes listed somewhere so why not giving us the full list as a link?
    cmon. birds hit like trucks now and deal damage when they fall out of the sky and even explode uppon landing. they deal about twice as much damage as the landmobs in the same area with that kamikaze attack.
    also ive noticed that most mobs have aLOT more knockback now.

    (not to emntion the 3-6k damage iron weapons but i can look over that since it seems to be a glitch with the damage formula or something)

    Agreed on knockback problem. Sometimes i feel that my character is no more than pinball ball for the monsters.

    oh yeah i forgot to add: most mobs seem to be on crack since they are moving almost twice as fast as the player. (only monsters. not npcs or npc-list-monsters)

    snipers are especially problematic with the new knockback....
    (+ birds have increased attack/cast speed now. they are just as in every other game your worst enemy now. kinda fitting)

    Keep in mind that the new damage system was just put into place after spending 17 or so hours working on it. All that needs to be done now is tweak everything so that it works better. This means modifying damage output.

    The damage on the weapons likely isn't a glitch. However, those will be changed.

    Maybe they played too much LoL and catched the "burden of knowledge" disease.

    I feel compelled to say that exact same thing could've been (and was) said about the armour penetration system.

    Haven't played the updated version yet, but one glance at the "new" weapon stats tells me they've replaced something unique with something incredibly generic. How's DPS even relevant, when this isn't an MMO and 100% accuracy isn't guaranteed?

    Balance aside, of course, I really hope this is just an experiment and that they'll change the system again, to something better, in the future.

    I am unsure if this is an actual bug or not. The mobs seem to be confused as to whether or not their body itself can cause damage. I've had flying mobs that I've shot, to death, that will hit me as they fall and cause me damage/knock me off a cliff. Whereas some aggressive mobs can stand in the same space I am without hurting me...Anyone else noticing this?

    at least riot gives us full patch notes

    i had this before already. sometimes they dont seem to notice you. that it happens mid-combat is really rare

    They're sleeping and they wont be awake for a couple of hours. They've been working all day and night for the patch, just wait.

    ITT people who don't understand how coding works. You jump between literally dozens of different functions and classes in the span of a few minutes. The bottom line is that tracking every single tweak they make when they rewrite the entire combat system is a waste of time. I'd much rather them keep working than alt-tab into a notepad file to track what they're doing every single time they make a change.

    Also pretty sure that birds damaging you post death is a bug.

    fair point. but im that sort of a person who really wants to know what exactly changed rather than finding it out the hard way... with alot of deaths >__>
    i prefer looking trough an endless long notepad file lol.
    but its dumb that i noticed more nonpatch note changes in the first 10 minutes than i encountered any of the new changes. this shouldnt be the case/point of patchnotes
