Overview
Riot has shipped a B patch to 16.3 to address major outliers that emerged over the weekend. The most notable example is the rise and dominance of Aurelion Sol. Here's the quick TLDR and how he got nerfed and what else has changed:
Orianna Shield reduced
Orianna reroll and Orianna tempo were both overperforming
Fizz mana cost decreased from 20 to 10
Fizz was total cheeks before this, though this probably doesn't help that much
Miss Fortune damage increased
Her single target spell damage has been greatly increased at the expense of her wave damage
Could be a good item holder but hard to fit her onto proper boards with Bilge being so weak and Gunslingers being bad until you hit Lucian & Senna
Aatrox
HP and Mana buff
Probably still not very good
Aurelion Sol
Mana cost increased
Should still be strong with good items but riskier to full open into him now
Mel
Starting mana increased
Damage increased
Mel may be good finally
Items
Bruiser, Demacia, Disruptor, Invoker, Juggernaut, and Quickstriker Emblems all have had their stats nerfed
The premier level 8 comps for the rest of the patch should be Void, Ionia, Lissandra + Seraphine Flex, and now perhaps Ambessa into Mel. Make sure to keep tabs on our comps page for the latest data!
