![]() Patch 3.8 notes. By Riot Pwyff. Included a possible fix for an issue that would cause LoL to open in the bottom right of the screen on. League of Legends' next big content patch is 8.3, introducing a newly-revamped Swain, as well as a host of balance and bug fixes, including major changes to Rengar and Master Yi. Riot Games has announced server maintenance in order to deploy League of Legends patch 8.3 and if you don't feel like reading the wall of text on their main page, here is a more coherent alternative. Riot is being tentative with balance changes in this cycle and some of the most meta influencing champions and runes are being changed but only ever so slightly. The Inspiration rune tree is getting the most changes, as expected. Stopwatch craze is bound to continue as the rune didn't get nerfed at all. It was however moved to the same tier as Magical Footwear so if you opt out for the get out of jail free card, you will no longer get free boots with it. You will still have Future's Market in the second tier that will let you compensate for the loss of the free boots, as being able to get loans to catch up with opponent's items or gain an upper hand in lane will eventually pay off. Unsealed Spellbook is still there, but the CDR on summoner spells is now 15 per cent down from 25. It will remain relevant in the meta. Riot Games Jericho Swain of Noxus is now Lucius Malfoy of Hogwarts. The moment has come - creepy birdguy Swain is getting a full VGU treatment. Certain indications about widespread Harry Potter fandom at Riot Games were already present, such as Rabadon's Deathcap bearing many similarities to the sorting hat, but this change might be the one that will bring J.K. Rowling to their doorstep, lawsuit in hand. Aside from visual update, his gameplay is also largely altered. He may prove to be broken, as the current scaling and base damage of his abilities is rather high. Swain's Q ability acts like a magic shotgun blast that will deal up to 348 + 0.96AP at max rank. With 700AP you will be able to slash an enemy carry's health in half assuming you bought Liandry's Torment, Sorcerer's Shoes and Void Staff for maximum spell penetration. Consider running him when your jungler picks Ivern as his root will let you knock your enemy towards you and move you point blank for a maximum damage blast, all with one right click. This ability essentially lets him burst squishies on top of being a super mage tank. Riot Games Unlimited POWEEEEEER!!! Swain's W, Vision of Empire (Rito grammar) - is an ability that is somewhat hard to land, with a similar skill shot mechanic to his old W, Nevermove. It is considerably easier though with the new Nevermove which was moved to E, as it will root the enemy in place for 1.5 seconds even on rank 1. The great thing about Vision of Empire is that it reveals invisible units for 4/5/6/7/8 seconds, depending on the rank. If you had trouble with countering the likes of Akali, Vayne or Kha'zix simply because you couldn't click on them due to their stealth abilities then this spell is the answer to your prayers. Land a quick E-W combo and just burst them with your Q as they remain unable to go invisible and run away from you. It is worth nothing that Nevermove now behaves like Ahri's Orb of Deception and is easier to land than before, but the ability only roots the first champion it hits on its way back to you.
