The new patch released for League of Legends has a lot of changes hitting the rift. It is a very big patch and one that many players considered a very important one. From pro play to solo queue every player had some qualms about the start of the season and this patch seems to be the bridge bringing balance back to the game.
We have 3 new skins this patch being Hearseeker Jinx, True Damage Senna Prestige Edition and Heartseeker Yuumi.

While we love Senna's flexibility as both a marksman and support, she's a little too strong as the former. We're adjusting the Mist Wraith drop chances to support her role as a support (say that 5 times fast).

E self movement speed decreased.
- Self Movement speed: 25% (+0.04 per 100 ability power) ⇒ 20% (+0.03 per 100 ability power).
Yuumi
Some changes were in order for Yuumi. While she was nerfed out of pro-play even the solo queue records were not good. Changing her Q and a quality of life change to her W might not bring her back in meta but the changes are welcome none the less.
