League of Legends: Patch 10.3 Notes and Rundown- Champion Changes and Skins

The new patch released for League of Legends has a lot of changes hitting the rift. It is a very big patch and one that many players considered a very important one. From pro play to solo queue every player had some qualms about the start of the season and this patch seems to be the bridge bringing balance back to the game.

We have 3 new skins this patch being Hearseeker Jinx, True Damage Senna Prestige Edition and Heartseeker Yuumi.

Champion changes

It's finally here! Akali has been reworked to make her a more balanced champion and not feel hopeless to play against. Riot had promised some majot work on Akali and they delivered.

Q marked enemy attack range no longer infinite.

Azir

Both Azir and Corki have been getting small buffs each patch as the balance team tread carefully not to over buff them. But we can soon expect to see some Azir Corki matchups in pro-play.

Base mana increased.

Passive: Frost Armor now removed when damaged from all monsters and champions.

Damage from epic monsters and enemy champions ⇒ Damage from all monsters and enemy champions.

Senna

While we love Senna's flexibility as both a marksman and support, she's a little too strong as the former. We're adjusting the Mist Wraith drop chances to support her role as a support (say that 5 times fast).

Mist Wraith drop chance adjusted. Spoils of War now counts as kills, reducing drop Mist Wraith drop chance.

Mist wraith drop chance: 20% on minions Senna doesn't kill, 100% on cannon minions Senna kills ⇒ 25% on minions Senna doesn't kill, 1.67% on cannon minions Senna kills.

Base Damage: 90/125/160/195/230 ⇒ 90/120/150/180/210.

Sona

Sona got a little too much power last patch making her go super sonic with her E.

E self movement speed decreased.

Self Movement speed: 25% (+0.04 per 100 ability power) ⇒ 20% (+0.03 per 100 ability power).

Yuumi

Some changes were in order for Yuumi. While she was nerfed out of pro-play even the solo queue records were not good. Changing her Q and a quality of life change to her W might not bring her back in meta but the changes are welcome none the less.

Q empowered damage decreased and now considers target's health; cost now flat.

Empowered Damage: 50/95/140/185/230/275 (+0.4 ability power) ⇒ 45/80/115/150/185/220 (+0.4 ability power) (+0.02-0.08 of target's current health).
