So I did a little snooping and I found some patch notes for tomorrow. Good news for those who are concerned about Geb as well. There isn't much in this patch except some balance changes and of course another bundle of bugfixes.

Anyone happy to see Geb's shield get the nerf bat, or do you think it can use a stronger nerf?

In League Arena, zeus and Freya are the most banned gods..with Freya carrying every match she plays in..i think she needed a balance fix but not tat much..

IDK, with C9 against Torch in a best of 5, she wasn't banned a single game. She simply brings NOTHING to the table but damage - her 1+2 combo is required and yields no slow - but this is a nerf to damage - the ONLY thing she has. It's bad, man =/

The game isnt build around arena but more around conquest where freya in last week was banned in alot of matches in the tournament which means that most of the teams didnt want to deal with her ****.
I like both nerfs. Although I like to play Geb (ML 1!) I think this nerf is okay. And I love the Freya nerf, she carried every Arena/Assault/3v3 match I played since weeks..
