Any ideas on a possible new set up with IW now? are all bnb combos gone?
I would like to continue using Infinite Warden for the moment, so what is geras gameplan now? what can he do up close?

You've been kicked out of the good mids club and you're now legally required to hit a D1 ,before you can have any offence. Enjoy your new, misserable existence , as you spent half of your matches jabbing your opponents in the ankles.

They still have a good staggerable 11f mid F3, they'll be fine.

IW is his worst variation now easily.

No they wont cause like @Error404 said most of them didn't bother to learn how to stagger cause all they did up close d1 100 times per match. So asking most Geras soap bars to use their head enough to enforce an amazing 11f stagger-able mid will send their brain into vapor lock.
