Riot tones down pro staples Ambessa, Ashe, Cassiopeia, K'Sante and Yunara, buffs weaker picks like Kennen, Kindred, Lillia, Swain and Smolder, and cuts Hextech Rocketbelt's ability haste from 20 to 10 while raising its active damage. Replays become private, and League Classic adds Aatrox, Caitlyn, Irelia, Karma, and Quinn and Valor.",
