Solo Queue Changes Define Frustrating Patch Notes
The Patch Notes indicate a shift to a balance philosophy centered around solo queue and laning mattering more in terms of game outcome and a higher likelihood of snowballing.
ARAM Mayhem also adds new and fresh ways to play non-Summoner’s Rift Modes and some of the Adjusted Champions points to flawed and overpowered kits being hard to balance as the same suspects are being balanced.
League of Legends Patch Notes are largely underwhelming and solo queue centric for October with lateral changes and not a major change to meta or picks.
- Some of the stronger Champions in the meta get toned down.
- The buffs are fairly uninteresting.
- Item Adjustments make it so melee mids are basically non-viable without additional changes.
ARAM Mayhem with ARAM but with Augments spices up non Summoner’s Rift as an exciting alternative that should be fun for all levels of players.
Author's summary: Frustrating patch notes focus on solo queue.
