Patch 26.9 (Season 2!) Rundown - More Ways to Play - League of Legends

I'm Riot Phroxzon, a Game Design Lead working primarily on Summoner's Rift Balance, Matchmaking, Ranked and Player Behavior at the moment. I've been working at Riot since 2014 and have been involved in almost every Summoner's Rift Patch for at least the last 10 years, so I'm super excited to start doing Patch Rundowns and share some of the thoughts with the community! Thank you to YoungE for all of the graphics for the video and channel. This video talks about our new 26.9 Patch, some of the exciting Systems changes and of course, item changes. I forgot to mention in the video, but there are also some adjustments to make Role Quest behavior a bit less punishing to non-laning behaviors like roaming, dealing with proxying, etc. 0:00 - Introduction 1:19 - Design Philosophy: Items 24:07 - Systems, Role Quests and Minion Changes 27:55 - Runes! 32:35 - Champion Buffs 35:35 - Champion Nerfs 38:03 - Champion Adjustments
