• Annie, Irelia, Nidalee, Twisted Fate, Sivir, Soraka and Udyr buffed.
• Diana, Katrina, Kayn, Kled, Miss Fortune, Maokai and Taric nerfed.
• Pulsefire 2020 Event and Rotating Game Mode - Pick URF. 

League of Legends Patch 10.10 finally hit the main servers. With a few balance changes, some champions could shift a few tiers above when it comes to solo queue. There are 4 new skins in this patch, including a Prestige edition Pulsefire Lucian, along with more Astronaut skins on the way. 

Soraka buffed yet again despite a 51.66% win rate. Along with the star child, we see buffs to Annie, Irelia, Nidalee, Twisted Fate, Sivir and Udyr. These champions were a little underperforming so it's no surprise. 

While the mid lane changes are yet to come, dominant mid laners like Diana and Katarina have been nerfed, along with Kayn, Kled, Miss Fortune, Maokai and Taric. Diana was turning out to be too tanky for a mage assassin so her health and AD base stats have been nerfed, bringing down her sustain. Katarina was getting too difficult to outplay thanks to her passive, so her burst has taken a hit this patch. 

Along with these changes, beloved Pick URF mode will be returning on 14th May for Pulsefire 2020. ADCs will have to hold out till the end of this month for Riot to bring the bot lane update in patch 10.11.

Player Behaviour

Last week, we told players about our short and long term plans to address deliberate game-ruining behaviour. Our proposed plans aren't meant to target those who are genuinely having a bad game, but those who decide that the game is over on their own and then spend their time trolling others instead of trying to play their best. The first of our short term plans is to adjust our Reporting and Punishment system. In 10.10, you should start to see more frequent "Instant Feedback" reports for disruptive behaviour as we work on tweaking our behavioural systems.
