Riot is targeting several bot-lane champions in League’s Patch 10.17.
Lead gameplay designer Mark “Scruffy” Yetter tweeted the patch preview for Patch 10.17, which he says is “a little smaller” and will be playable on August 19th. Among the changes will be nerves for Caitlyn, Sona, Lux, and Yone.
In an image that Yetter tweeted, Lux’s nerves include a W shield reduction, a W mana cost increase, and a bug fix with her W that gives her extra shield. Yone, the last one Competition champion to become free, got another nerve, with his Q-base damage reduced and his eventual being changed so that it no longer lives.
There are fewer champions buffed in Patch 10.17. Kai’Sa gets two changes to her kit – her AD per level will be increased and so will her E-speed attack.
Here are all the buffs and nerves mentioned in the Competition 10.17 Preview patch.
