Overview
We’re going to give you a quick rundown of key points from the latest patch. You can also see how these changes have affected the meta by looking at our Champion Statistics page, which highlights changes in Win Rate between patches.
This is a rather lighter patch overall as its focus is on buffing a lot of the lesser used runes. Riot might be trying to watch how these buffs affect champions so as to not accidentally double buff too many champions!
For a full breakdown of exactly what has been changed, check out Riot’s official patch notes here.
