League of Legends Patch 7.10 change list

It’s time for the first League of Legends patch since the massive midseason update, and as you probably expect there are a lot of tweaks to respond to a changed game.

This week, we’ve got adjustments for reworked Maokai, Sejuani and Zac, new mini-reworks for Heimerdinger and Sejuani, and significant changes at both the jungle and support position.

There are also more item changes, nerfs to over-performers like Fizz, Lulu and Ivern, and some changes to the new support quests. There’s also an update to Pulsefire Ezreal!

That’s only scratching the surface of what’s changing this week. Below are just the changes: if you want more context, read the full patch notes here. For just a summary of the five most important things, click here.
