League of Legends patch 11.5 official notes brings Qiyana and Sejuani buffs, while nerfing Udyr and Azir

League of Legends' next big update will be going live in just a few fours, and Riot will be looking to make a lot of balance tweaks to the game this time around.

Some of the more overpowered picks, like Udyr, Gragas (top), Seraphine, and Azir, will be receiving some nerfs, and the League of Legends devs will be taking a lot of their mid to late-game impact away.

On the other hand, champions who have been doing rather poorly in season 11 will be receiving a buff in League of Legends patch 11.5. Sejuani will be receiving a lot of love, along with Qiyana, Trundle, and Kog'Maw.

League of Legends players looking for a detailed description of the patch can look up Riot's official website.

However, for a brief overview, here are all the major highlights.
