“Akshan was one of the clear winners from the recent changes to early game sustain, so this patch we’re back to balance things out by tapping down his early game threat and vulnerability.”

“While Aurelion Sol can still be a menace in the late game (deliberately so), we don’t think his early game needs to be quite as painful as it currently is so we’re giving him better early trades and generally improving his ability to dodge skill shots and navigate fights.”

“Blitzcrank has been underperforming so we want to add some more pep to this steam golem’s step with some better sustained disruption and damage to get him rolling again.”

“LeBlanc’s last set of changes made her more viable in the highest levels of play, but have also led to her being a bit overwhelming for the rest of us at home.”

“Skarner is one of a few champions who’s a little weak but has a deceptively low win rate due to being quite hard to play.”

“Talon is running (front-flipping) the jungle right now, especially with the newly-buffed Axiom Arc.”

“As the dust has settled from Volibear’s recent changes, his AD and AP builds are much closer in power and we believe jungle Volibear to be appropriately strong.”

“We buffed Yone last patch but due to his tendency to build Doran’s Shield and Second Wind, he didn’t end up as powerful as we would have liked.”
