League of Legends Patch 26.12 Notes

What’s in this update

We've got some more changes to follow up the recent Season 2 & support meta with a nerf to AP Xin Zhao and buff to Yuumi, as well as preparation with an eye towards MSI on the patch after this one through creating opportunities for some diversity in champion picks in the tournament. While some of these changes are specifically pro-oriented (sorry, Varus), most of them should be pretty applicable across all levels of play, like Lee Sin and Nocturne being less menacing in the jungle. We'll be continuing this approach for one more patch before going back to business as usual.
