Riot targets Sett and Diana’s W damage, Ekko’s W stun in League Patch 10.3

Riot Games Lead Gameplay Designer Mark “Scruff” Yetter broke down the upcoming Patch 10.3 changes in a tweet today.

Along with jungle XP buffs, a few underwhelming champs are getting some love. Corki and Azir, for example, can’t compete with their mid-lane counterparts. And after previous Yuumi tweaks took too many of the cat’s nine lives, Patch 10.3 hopes to bring her back to the meta. Overpowered outliers like Diana, Sett, and Ekko, on the other hand, are getting smacked by the nerf hammer in an attempt to balance out lanes.
