A cursory overview of the patch shows a few interesting changes:

Irelia has received an increase to her chasing power as well as a buff to her ultimate’s damage.

Katarina‘s shunpo has been fundamentally changed giving Katarina mobilty options that didn’t exist before.

Pantheon‘s Grand Skyfall has received a small but needed buff, allowing friendly team mates to more easily position enemies inside it as he falls.

Udyr‘s Tiger Stance received a large buff, now having it scale by 1.7 AD instead of 0.5.

The most notable change this patch is likely the removal of Zhonya’s Ring, seeing the item break into two seperate items. Zhonya’s Hourglass a defensive version of the old ring, keeping its stasis effect and Rabadon’s Deathcap which now possesses the old ring’s 30% AP bonus.

If you aren’t familiar with League of Legends it is a MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) game based on the Defense of the Ancients Warcraft 3 Mod.

The game is free to play and the sign-up can be found here.
