Patch 6.20 notes are out, with Ivern’s release and big Nunu changes

The first week of Worlds has just concluded, but the live server of League of Legends has already been a patch ahead. Now we’re moving two patches ahead of the 6.18 you see in competitive play, as notes for Patch 6.20 were released Tuesday.

Included in the notes are Ivern’s release, a big change to Nunu, buffs to Ashe, Vladimir and Taliayh and a nerf to Jinx. There’s also a change with Baron, a bunch of exciting new skins coming out and the scoreboard orders itself now!

We’ll have plenty of more coverage of the patch and what it means over the coming days, but for now, here are all the changes. You can read the full notes, with context and explanation, right here. The patch can be expected to go live Monday.
