Here are the updates and notes for League of Legends Patch 10.15

The Spirit Blossom Festival is arriving in League of Legends Patch 10.15, introducing Lillia to the Rift. The half fawn, half human is a standard jungle champion that uses magic, nature, and dreams to her advantage.

Nexus Blitz is also returning and, as usual, champion balance is the name of the game.

Swain is in for some interesting changes, with Riot targeting his cast cadence and increasing his range. Together, this should fire up his power from both the mid and support positions.

Aphelios is receiving yet another nerf, toning down the synergy of his Flamethrower with Runaan’s, and Yuumi is set for some minor buffs, reducing the cooldown on her passive ability.

Here’s the full list of changes coming to League’s Patch 10.15, scheduled to release tomorrow morning.

Ranked

• With the introduction of Clash and its unrestricted rank system for full teams of five, Riot has decided to apply the same approach to Ranked Flex queues, allowing players to get in ranked games with anyone they choose.
• Similar to Clash, the system will use a weighted average that leans towards higher skill players. Bronze players might have a tough time queuing up with Diamond players, for example.

Champions

[New] Lillia

Passive – Dream-laden Bough

• Lillia’s abilities apply Dream Dust, dealing a portion of the target’s maximum health as magic damage over a duration.

Q – Blooming Blows

W – Watch Out! Eep!

• Lillia winds up for a huge strike with her branch, dealing magic damage to enemies. Enemies at the center of the impact receive more damage.

E – Swirlseed

• Lillia lobs a Swirlseed overhead, dealing magic damage to enemies and slowing them for a duration. If Lillia’s Swirlseed misses, it’ll continue to roll until it hits an enemy or collides with terrain.
