3) Champion Adjustments
- Kled
When talking about the Kled adjustments, Riot states,
“Now that MSI is done, shipping our Kled changes that have been in the works for a while (check out Endstep’s video for more detail). The main goals for the changes are to have him feel better about fighter builds and also hit down some of the earflicks like instantly getting health back from remounting that just feel bad for minimal opponent satisfaction or counterplay. Throughout the course of dev, we investigated increasing remounting frequency, in an effort to give.”

6) System Adjustments
- Guardian
When talking about the item changes Riot mentions,
“We initially made mask stacking (haunting guise + haunting guise possible as a fun joke build (or rather, passed on fixing it), but with Bloodletters becoming a real item, it’s ended up being a lot more powerful than intended. It’s resulting in a lot of champions being able to index into a lot more HP than is normal. We’re removing the interaction as a result in line with other epics, even though it’s fun. We’re also looking at some buffs to underperforming sustained damage items like BORK, Kraken, PD. We’re pre-emptively nerfing Yasuo as he’s a bit stronger than Yone for regular players and we’re buffing BORK. We’ve nerfed ROA a decent amount for non-core users at the cost of its previous core users. We’re splitting the difference back, but in a way that benefits its old core users (typically mana oriented battle mages – We’re being careful with a Guardian adjustment that makes it slightly better for enchanters, but no better for tanks.”
