Have you ever laned against a Pantheon and cried out in agony because he keeps sending those blasted Q spears at you and you can’t really do anything about it? That’s been patched now.

While this probably won’t change much for champions like Vi or Nocturne, this has a lot in store for people who play champions like Pantheon, Ryze, Kassadin and Leblanc. Trading in lane is going to be a bit harder, as you’re going to have to watch for minion aggro now as you send out the occasional Q to poke your enemy.
Riot noted that every other patch would contain bigger changes, and this is definitely one of them.
