Yasuo and ADC mains have something to look forward to in the latest League of Legends patch. Yone, Yasuo’s long lost brother, is finally joining the game with a kit that resembles the Unforgiven. Additionally, this patch brings some buffs to underplayed ADCs, giving them a chance to shine in both solo queue and professional play.
On the other hand, some of the usual contenders causing havoc are being toned down in this patch. Champions like Ashe, Nautilus, and Karma will receive significant nerfs.
It’s important to note that Patch 10.16 will last twice as long due to the developers taking some time off. However, a set of balance changes will still be deployed around the usual time of Patch 10.17, with the next full patch being 10.18.
For those interested in all the details of Patch 10.16, you can find the full notes and updates on the League of Legends website.
Third and Final Split of the Year
The third and final ranked split of the season will begin on August 9th, but this time there’s a small twist. In addition to the usual split rewards, Riot will also grant a random series one Eternal capsule to anyone earning 750 Split points.
Champions Updates
Yone’s arrival is the highlight of this patch, but there are also changes to other champions:
– Akali: Increased damage on Q – Five Point Strike and changed damage type on E – Shuriken Flip.
– Ashe: Reduced bonus attack speed on Q – Ranger’s Focus.
– Bard: Decreased health and maximum heal on W – Caretaker’s Shrine.
– Evelynn: Halved cooldown on Q – Hate Spike and removed cooldown reduction from hitting monsters.
