If you play Azir or Kalista, you may not like what is coming up in the latest League of Legends patch, as these two popular champions are being hit hard. That isn’t all, as there are some brights sides, fixes to the Juggernauts for the huge 5.16 patch are in here, and a few buffs thrown in too. Over on Leagueoflegends.com, Scarizard has everything lined up for us, saying:
Greetings, summoners.
Welcome to Patch 5.17, the one after the Juggernaut one. We considered titling it something else, but with the incredible impact of the last update we thought it made sense to bring it up again.
While definitely strong (hey Skarner), the landscape of 5.16 is far less apocalyptic than its contents may have predicted. All of the new items have found homes among the rank-and-file fighters, people are playing Lucian, and Renekton’s entered a civil union with Titanic Hydra. Things seem pretty OK. As promised, we’ve stuck to the lighter side of things for 5.17 – there are definitely a good number of champion changes, but that’s about all there is. With Worlds just around the corner (5.18, don’t forget!) we’re putting the finishing touches on the game-state so everything’s polished and ready for the big stage. We even have Bard buffs.
That’s about all for us here as we dig a little deeper for the last batch of tuning and tweaking of outliers before hibernating a bit until preseason. For those of you wishing for us to hit the Mark on the various outliers running wild this patch, you won’t have to wait long – They Are Coming.
Check out the changes below and we’ll see you next patch!
