Already three months in and Riot Games is showing no sign of slowing. These past three patches have all been pretty major so far, enough to change the state of the game! But let’s keep it real — League of Legends is still blazing ahead with changes to champions who might now be viable in the jungle, which also includes some mages strangely enough. Alongside this, some changes to Death Dance and the Teleport summoner spell of all things will also be coming to League of Legends patch 10.6. So without further ado, let’s look at the changes.
