League of Legends Patch 26.17 Notes

What’s in this update

In 26.17 we’ve got a small amount of relief for top lane with Nasus and Vayne nerfs, and some followup on last patch to a handful of champions and items. We’re buffing a variety of melee AD carries, like Irelia, Qiyana, Yasuo, and Yone, who’ve been forced to snowball-or-lose for a while instead of having a reliable endgame to scale towards. Xerath continues to overperform in the mid lane in particular, as do Nocturne and Graves in the jungle. Finally, Sundered Sky wasn’t hit quite as hard as we were looking for, and we’re also looking to give Stormrazor a place in some builds again.
