Starting with balance changes, a number of champions are getting buffed in this patch. Diana, Rengar, Sivir, Ryze, to name a few. There are also some nerfs arriving in this patch. Smolder and Cho’Gath, who were overbuffed last patch, are getting some of their numbers tweaked. In addition, Elise and Luician are getting nerfed.
