League of Legends is making another round of targeted balance changes in Patch 26.17, with Vayne and Xerath getting under the nerf hammer. The brothers Yasuo and Yone are getting buffs designed to make critical-strike builds more attractive, while LeBlanc receives a long-overdue attack-speed ratio buff.
Nasus is also being nerfed again after the developer’s changes in the previous League patch had a larger impact than expected, while several other champions, including Cho’Gath, Irelia, Qiyana, Trundle, and Aurelion Sol, are receiving buffs. Roaming supports are settling down, with the developer seeing positive movement in pro play while keeping an eye on whether the strategy remains too strong in solo queue.
