Incoming Changes on the PBE - Nerfs + New Item Released

Apologies for the lack in updates recently, I've been completely swamped with work! These updates are far too interesting to pass up though! The new PBE Varus patch has included some major changes including a massive overhaul on Ryze's abilities and the introduction of a new item. Big thanks to RoG for compiling the unofficial notes!

Summary: Lots of changes in store for the next patch, the largest of which appear to be the Ryze changes and the Will of the Ancients recipe cost increase. Kog'maw and Warwick are being nerfed and many other heroes are being tweaked slightly.

The Kog and Warwick nerfs were definitely warranted, as well as the Talon buff. The Ryze tweak will bring him more in line with current level burst casters, and make him less late-game reliant (and also less monstrous). 

Super random health buff on Singed.

The new item (Athene's Unholy Grail) is interesting, and definitely comes in line with the blue buff nerf. I'm not sure if it'll be worth sacrificing your deathcap for the item on most heroes though, since it doesn't give any health or armor.
